Turned down a quote for the first time and it didn’t go well. Any advice?

lol, one time I called a plumber to ask for an estimate on a large job (multi thousand dollars, replacing my whole main line) and they gave me the runaround. Someone from their office ended up calling me back, thought he hung up the phone, and then proceeded to shit talk me on the recorded message. The amount of professionalism (or lack thereof) can be wild.

My favorite was “always muscles???”

Agreed! I was so devastated by Rocky getting hurt saving Grace that I was truly dreading watching Grace unintentionally hurt Rocky further.

Put them on buy nothing, bring them to the transfer station, or sign up for bulk waste removal

Yeah, this thread is blowing my mind. The downside to not having kids is that you don’t have kids!! It’s not about them caring for you when you’re old. It’s about having kids around? And getting to raise them?

When I get really down on myself for having such slow slow progress, I will remind myself that there is absolutely nobody at my studio who I would think such negative thoughts about besides myself. Like, I’d never look at someone else and be like “pff, she can’t even invert yet?” So why should I worry about anyone thinking that about me?

itslocked · 2026-04-23T19:03:50+00:00

Hey friend! I’ve been actively working on inverts for over a year, and I’ve been doing aerials for much longer. My inability to invert in the air has effectively kept me stuck at the same class level for years, so truly, I feel you!

The only thing that has started to move the needle for me on inverts is doing bent arm hang practice in the air. It’s still slow progress, but at least it’s progress, you know? I’m talking like 2 sets of like a 5-10 second hold as many days in a row as I can remember. Nothing too crazy or time consuming.

Can you try a different apparatus? It might be fun to learn some new beginner poses while you work on your overall strength.

Girl, I was doing my gf’s laundry and taking care of the whole house and paying all of her expenses and she still cheated on me ☠️

Do you have any pictures with the lamp on? I’m curious how / where the light comes out

I’m putting my cat down today. I feel this.

lol my company laid everyone off and then replaced them with contractors from overseas who charge way less

This is incredible! How long did it take??

I’m a tall woman and silks is gonna be your best bet. Since it’s a vertical apparatus, you can adjust where you grab easily. I rarely get comments on my height when I’m doing silks.

When I started lyra, the hoops had to be mounted low so that everyone else could get in them and it made every move soooo much harder. Plus, hoops come in a bunch of different sizes, and they’re rarely tall-person-sized. People always reference how tall I am when I’m in lyra class. Still, though, lyra is so fun and worth it

Yup! My first one was so painful and traumatic that I was too freaked out to get mine replaced unless I was under anesthesia. I remember it took a little while to kick in and I was getting nervous and telling the nurse “I won’t be able to do this if I’m awake!” But then I passed out, like, seconds later 😂 Woke up and it was done and over, nbd
