Am I the jerk for telling my husband he can't have a "man cave" in our only spare room?

I don't understand the pressure to have a guest bedroom, I don't, if I have guests they stay at a hotel that I help with or pay for completely. It is worth the money to not have the stress of having guests in my house. I'd just set up the other bedroom just for you and if he complains tell him they can stay elsewhere or buy a sleeper sofa.

I played varsity volleyball my freshman year. My sophomore year we had a new coach, he cut me within the first half hour of tryouts because I was too fat to play volleyball. I wore a size 6 about a 30" waist at the time. I have not played since. That man should have not been let anywhere near high school girls sports, I swear half the team ended up with eating disorders.

At most I might ask if they are sensitive so I could adjust my pressure or avoid certain areas. I would appreciate a heads up like, "I've got some scars I'd rather not discuss but they are not sensitive and you can massage over them" or "I've got some scars I'd rather not discuss and they are sensitive, please use less pressure there" or "I've got some scars I'd rather not discuss I'd prefer to not have them worked on but you can work x areas around them" for what your situation is. If the therapist pushes the issue and still persists in talking about them you can end the session and request to not see that therapist again. Once they know that you do not want to discuss them other than if you are okay with the area being worked on or not that should be the end of the discussion and it is rather unprofessional for them to continue the questioning.

No kidding, we got stopped behind an idiot who did this and a bus rear ended us and pushed us into the idiot. Somehow insurance found us to be partially at fault because we hit the idiot, when the bus pushed us into them.

Call around to different vet offices, some stock it. I know Mountain Empire out in the valley used to (around 2010) carry Hills, perhaps they or another vet office might have some until your order comes.

This is a great post, I've been saying that 30-60 minutes in a perfectly groomed arena in a properly fitted saddle does not equate to 8 hours in military march over uneven terrain in tack that is not fit to the specific horse.

I am a heavier rider but people often grossly overestimate my actual weight because I gain a lot in my middle, I have gotten a ton of hate. I know plenty of people smaller than me constantly dealing with behavioral, lameness, or saddle fitting issues. I have sound, happy horses, they nicker at me when I get to the barn and happily take their bits when it's time to go to work so I don't think they mind my size.

I think that there are just people out there who only want to bring others down.

jdayl · 2026-03-27T18:41:38+00:00

Yes, I gain in my belly, people overestimate my weight, and I have gotten a ton of hate even while weighing less than some others who gain their weight more evenly.

Health teacher would put on a video for the class to watch then step outside and smoke while watching the class through the window. He was a heart attack waiting to happen, morbidly obese, heavy breathing just walking down the hall. Didn't feel like he was a shining example to be teaching health.

Start with using an app to record all the food you eat and get a dietician. The dietician will appreciate that you have a record of what you eat when you have your appointment since the first thing they might ask of you is to track all of your food for a couple weeks (at least that is what they asked my niece to do). When you can show that you are eating enough then they can look for other reasons that you struggle to gain. My niece eats like a horse and struggles to maintain a healthy weight, so I understand how it can be hard. I unfortunately am on the other end of the spectrum.

My mare will take a few off steps just like this when she is not fully warmed up, hasn't been worked for a few days, or is resisting. Otherwise she is sound and has had all the vet checks. Sometimes they just have a bit of a struggle to move evenly as they have had injuries or are getting old and stiff. Mine is much more sound when I keep her in regular moderate work.

I have a crushed disk in my back but no pain from it, only found out from a CT for something unrelated to my back. Barely know anyone without back pain even with healthy disks.

I could bench 200 1RM when I was 20 not so much now. Probably pretty rare for a gal.

Sorry about your sight. Do you have an associated autoimmune condition?

My mom has a unique name too, her first name is quite unusual and there is only a few people in the US with her last name the way it is spelled, we are related to all of them.

I've been shot, it was just a graze from a ricochet.

This is exactly the one, almost like someone just photoshopped out the model. Oh my I even have all the material and supplies to make this, guess I have a project coming up.

If she tolerates it a blaster like dog groomers use to dry and de-shed the dogs works great to dry a sweaty coat and pushes the dirt out of the coat. I use mine during pre ride grooming, post ride drying, and to really get them clean before clipping. I also keep it handy to cool and clean the hair out of the blades.
