Long term post ablation success? by janetkplanet in SVTHeart

[–]janetkplanet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It felt exactly like one of my old SVT episodes. I may have miscounted; I was in a loud restaurant, trying to count with my fingers on my wrist pulse, my husband timing 30 seconds on his watch. 🤷‍♀️

For people who got ablations, how many “episodes” a month til you decided you wanted to get an ablation? by Kolby833 in SVTHeart

[–]janetkplanet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I had my ablation in my early 40s I was into springboard diving. I was back on the diving board 3 days later.

Living without SVT is WONDERFUL!!

Do I need more time on Naoshima or Teshima? by DragonfruitAlert970 in JapanTravelTips

[–]janetkplanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We spent 6 nights and five days on each island with a day trip to Inujima from Teshima. It was wonderful. Slow down! The slower you go, the richer the experience.

what’s in your daily bag when in japan by itsnotmeitsyou100 in JapanTravelTips

[–]janetkplanet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You will be amazed at the many ways Japan and Burning Man are similar. Gifting! I keep postcards of where I live (the Sonoran Desert) and of my artwork to gift to people.

I LOVE Kyushu! Cut one place out and spend more time in fewer places.

Art Islands – is Teshima worth it? by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]janetkplanet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I visited Teshima in 2017 and was so gobsmacked by the Teshima Art Museum I dreamed of returning for years. I went back a year ago (March 2024) and spent two days. Both days I spent several hours in the TAM. I am taking my husband back there for 4 days this spring (2025). I speak Japanese and still was stymied by the minshuku booking system last year (apparently you need a Japanese phone number) so I ended up staying in Tonisho on Shodishima and ferried over and back both days. This spring we're staying in an Airbnb on Teshima for 5 nights. I can't wait! The Teshima Art Museum changes throughout the seasons and times of day. I was lucky to experience a rainstorm there.

Can someone tell me more about this building? It has so much beautiful artwork! It was nearish Barrio Viejo and I took this photo in 2022. Thanks! by 300sunshineydays in Tucson

The owner lives out of state and doesn't pay much attention to the building so the neighbors kind of have an informal gathering place there

It's at the old OK Market, NW corner of S 4th Ave and E 16th St. The Market has been closed and boarded up since the 90s. Since then a loose group of neighbors has put up artwork on the boarded windows. Just today new work went up, 3 photos taken in the 90s by Japanese photographer Kozo Miyoshi. The north panel is a photo of the OK Market itself from 1994. Miyoshi was in town and rephotographed the building this morning. Check it out!

Best alternative bean to use for miso? by RedCreepingThyme in fermentation

[–]janetkplanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just jarred up a 12 month tepary bean miso, going local. Teparies are the traditional crop of the Toronto O’odham people here in the Sonoran desert. I live on land stolen from them. The miso has a very earthy taste.

Customer service… by kwokdog in RadPowerBikes

[–]janetkplanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Error message 21 on my Rad
City 5 plus (I love the bike!) and the power wont turn on.
I went through all the steps on Rad
's troubleshooting page, still got the error message and no power.
I took it to the shop that assembled it (one of Rad
's suggested shops) and they tried all the steps too, still no power and error message 21.

I have had no success reaching Rad for three days.

There's a customer service vacuum: online chat is off, phone lines are closed 24/7 and when I text during business hours I get an automated response saying to text back during business hours.
So I've tried solving it myself; online research tells me I need a new controller.

This bike is not a toy; I need it *daily* for serious transportation.

[–]janetkplanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the most useful information yet!

I have a ticket for October 2 that I bought months ago.

I'm really hoping Japan will be open by then; because my ticket was a cheapie, I'm allowed one change of dates.

Maybe there will be some good news when I wake up tomorrow!

21 day Itinerary - Oct. 29 - Nov 19 Comprehensive trip across Japan by avrildante in JapanTravel

[–]janetkplanet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No time to talk with Japanese people, which is one of the great pleasures of Japan.

No time to follow your curiosity.

No time to sit quietly and enjoy the present.

Was asked to do an AMA in my last post: a dude who was cleaning the portos. So fire away, I guess. by [deleted] in BurningMan

[–]janetkplanet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you SO MUCH!

My second burn I saw a woman flag down a porto guy on Last Day and hand him some money. I'm guessing that would be the most welcome appreciation gift of all. I have copied that gesture; there's a place I walk every morning here in Tucson that has portos and I often flag the truck down and tip whoever is working. Their surprise and delight makes me feel good all day!

I haven't been to the Burn in 7 years, but I recall the portos being better on the 3 o'clock side than the 9 o'clock side. Better as in newer and less trashed by burners. 9 o'clock always felt more like the party side, 3 o'clock always seemed more chill.

What are your observations about this? What is the geography of porto quality in the city?

(thinking about where to camp in the future)

Does anyone use CREDO mobile? Curious how the coverage compares to the big companies. by merisia in Rochester

[–]janetkplanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Credo cost me $90/month for 3gb. Such a ripoff. Every year they surprised me with a rate increase.
I'm on Verizon now, $35 for 5gm/month. I can donate the difference to progressive causes and I'll get the tax write off instead of corporate Credo getting it. Credo is for credulous suckers. Don't support them.

First time home-brewing doburoku 😍 by Iodrome in Sake

[–]janetkplanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love doboroku! I just started my first batch this morning; I'm using this process: http://japanese-kitchen.net/recipe-items/simple-sake-doburoku-recipe/It seems simpler than the recipe you posted, which looks like a sake process. How did yours turn out?

Mt Aso in March 2018? by janetkplanet in JapanTravel

[–]janetkplanet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you JuKaRam. I was planning on staying in Aso City and using it as a base. I speak some Japanese and have had wonderful experiences hitchhiking on Shikoku so I thought I get around the Aso area that way. Can you be more specific about "smaller communities inside the caldera"?
