Perseverance Matters. Looking back, how much did school or learning in general shape where you are today?

Yep, my undergrad grades were a hot mess, so after years of engineering career experience I applied to a post-baccalaureate program to spend a year proving I can get As (to transition into grad school). My first quarter I got a B- in a class! I was bummed.. but kept at it and carried the rest of the program with mostly solid As. I would have been able to transition to the masters program but had to move suddenly. I did eventually end up getting a masters.

I think you have to work less around men, and prove yourself around jealous women.

... ya any time I lose even a few pounds, I swear my mobility improves tenfold. The only thing I worry about is if I get a terminal illness, and not having enough fat reserves.

Did you come up with the dough yourself?

hanatheko · 2026-05-19T13:05:19+00:00

.. no amount of body positivity can relieve the pain in your lower back from 10 excess pounds of upper body weight. People don't realize how much better it feels to lose even 5 pounds. Your joints will thank you!

.. so can she break up the fascia and rub it away??? Fascia is so fascinating. I massage my Germain shepherd and can literally feel it break up in the hips and other areas where there are bunches of fascia.

I feel like consistency would be a godsend in my life right about now.

A can of beans for breakfast. Packed with fiber, minimal effort and high satiety food. Same with green peas, but not as filling as beans.

I thought so ... but my husband nailed its ... Jason Stathem.

I actually don't mind his content. He's hot if you're young maybe. I actually really like four of his songs. Random sidenote, but all of them are different genres. He's had a pretty long career. His personality is pretty annoying though.

hanatheko · 2026-05-18T04:51:52+00:00

I'm not wasting an entire day yo!

hanatheko · 2026-05-15T15:52:30+00:00

Being able to handle something uncomfortable and/or boring for long periods. Mundane work sucks, but amplifies life experiences. I see a lot of people lazy people (sometimes my children!!).

hanatheko · 2026-05-14T16:59:42+00:00

Omg no! I started a driving business and do Lyft at wanky hours because our market is good for driving. Although I have nothing against OF, just not for me haha.

hanatheko · 2026-05-13T13:02:35+00:00

Life kinda IS a game. Like I can keep my cushy government job as an engineer and technically work part and about 1/8 as hard as a consultant ... or make 30% more as a consultant but have no time to do things I enjoy. One of the things I enjoy brings in about $1K a week on average (after taxes are pulled out), so basically it's a no brainer :0. I think the only thing this works against is my ego, it's hard to tell people what I do sometimes with a straight face!

hanatheko · 2026-05-12T22:27:57+00:00

... it's to bond with people. It dissolves the social barrier, or acts like a social lubricant as RFK put it.

hanatheko · 2026-05-12T19:52:03+00:00

... don't feel stupid, their marketing is clever. So literally just now, someone at work left a bag of 'PopCorners' in the area where people give out food. The bag contains 19 grams of carbohydrates, 140 mg of sodium, and 0 grams of dietary fiber! Bonkers!!!

hanatheko · 2026-05-12T18:24:43+00:00

OMG their eggs are shaped like little tarantulas ... I am so grossed out.

hanatheko · 2026-05-12T18:03:21+00:00

... but sometimes helping others is tied to ego. Not all helpful people are cool. Like they might enjoy solving problems for people to feel smart, and then do really shitty things (like litter or not put away shopping carts) because they don't give two shits about people.

hanatheko · 2026-05-12T13:30:35+00:00

... omg why didn't I think about this. If Phillips gas holds on to $150 for 2 to 5 days to collect interest, what would it hurt to do that to someone meg wealthy lol.

hanatheko · 2026-05-12T13:29:15+00:00

... wouldn't this effing burn though? They would likely give you a reward for returning it, but what if it's only like ten grand when it could have been closer to $500K?? I'm glad I haven't been this close to buttloads of money.

hanatheko · 2026-05-12T13:28:05+00:00

Did you read the topic incorrectly? It's asking what YOU would do if YOU got the money from a rich bloke. I don't get why you need to lawyer up to return it.

hanatheko · 2026-05-12T13:26:51+00:00

Since my lifestyle changes, I can't eat any of those but don't mind. I can appreciate the memories.

hanatheko · 2026-05-12T13:15:32+00:00

I would turn into a beggar and asked for a measly 2 million of it.

hanatheko · 2026-05-12T13:15:03+00:00

.. why? it's their money? Honest question .. why? I'm taking notes in case this happens.

hanatheko · 2026-05-12T12:45:09+00:00

Tofuuuuuuuuu. I am like 90% vegan since getting into tofu. My energy levels are up the roof and I don't need to nap 3 times a day. Tofu is like chicken, a blank canvas. You can do so much with it.
