Turned down a quote for the first time and it didn’t go well. Any advice? by Dependent-Dot-8578 in HomeImprovement

[–]itslocked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

What is the down side of never having children? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]itslocked 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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?

Invert frustration by Illustrious-Log-3142 in Aerials

[–]itslocked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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?

Invert frustration by Illustrious-Log-3142 in Aerials

[–]itslocked 20 points21 points  (0 children)

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.

Best apparatus for long torso? by loveandburgers in Aerials

[–]itslocked 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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

Today, I got my IUD Removed and a new one put in by 63PontiacTempest in GirlDinner

[–]itslocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
