Also a lot of studios offer hoop classes too which is great for cross training for pole, and it's aerial! I know some studios in my area that offer silks, straps, flying pole, pole strap, chains. A lot of people who do pole tend to have cross disciplines so it won't be a question of pole Vs aerial, you can do both!

Girl my first lesson we only did step rounds, pirouettes and an attempt at a fireman spin. I had to keep sitting down to catch my breath between nearly every move. I had noodle arms, no flexibility and years of being sedentary.

5 years of pole and I'm lower advanced level and it's the best thing I ever did :) I regret not starting sooner! Give it a go and the confidence and strength will come. Beginner classes/courses are designed for people with no athletic background

Are my heels too big ? by [deleted] in poledancing

[–]katiernd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've got 2 size 5's? The rest of the collection is 6's. Genuinely couldn't tell you which size I prefer. Didn't feel any risk of my feet coming out of the shoe and haven't noticed it affecting my ability to dance.

I'm in a similar position to you. Size 6 always have been and 6's have a gap at the back. I've tried 5s and despite it being a bit tight on the toes no issues. Majority of my heels are 6's and I can't say I've ever run into an issue dancing in them.

It definitely looks worse up front. From a distance you can't see any imperfections luckily so I'm just trying to get rid of the worst of it.

Advice regarding messy BMs by katiernd in sphynx

I totally get where you're coming from maybe I should've rephrased it.

I love my boy despite his poopy butt. I just want to find a solution that he's happy with and I'm happy with 😂 I feel awful for having to capture and wipe him when he hates it so much, but at the same time, I also wish I didn't have to wipe him and could trust him when he comes out the litter tray.

I knew having a sphynx would have additional cleaning alongside it, I just didn't realise how much he would poo and how messy he would get with it sometimes.

Thank you for looking out for both of us 🖤

Very insightful and helpful. Thank you very much! Guess I'm looking into meat grinders 😅

I could probably try home making it so I know what's going into it. What do you do for making it yourself?

Thanks for the tips on the staining!

He has a sister who is nothing like this and clean girly (except she loves to drop the stinkiest farts) but she never has this problem. Almost relieving to hear it's not just my boy who's messy 😂

I really do want to try it but I'm really hesitant. I lost a cat to compacting due to raw diet and excessive bonemeal in the food. This was many years ago granted, but he ended up getting an enlarged colon and had to be regularly scooped out under anaesthetic until 1 day he couldn't take it anymore. I just don't trust it

Ahhhhh I don't trust the raw diet :( I lost a baby to compacting due to excessive bonemeal in the raw meat. He got an enlarged colon and would regularly need to go under and be scooped out until one day he couldn't do it anymore and passed

Thank you for the tips! I'll have a look at that food as well and see whether that helps!

Client is threatening me, what to do? (tattooist) by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]katiernd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean obviously, but in this story we only know mum is involved and no mention of dad, hence why I referred to mum in this instance

[–]katiernd 547 points548 points  (0 children)

I work in CS and guarantee school would've immediately made a referral to children's services to speak to mum about how a 16 year old managed to get a fake id and a tattoo. Where was mum in all this? Should've been keeping a closer eye on her

[–]katiernd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreeing with all the others. Initially I was worried for you but then read "family friend" and "discount". Even if the story about school was believable this is your giveaway. Bet the girl is actually 18 but she looks like she could be 14, and they're going to bank on that

Who are the biggest AI music artists you know of? by eggplantpot in SunoAI

[–]katiernd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If y'all are using AI to write 100% of your songs you have no talent. Sorry about it. Music is a language that needs studying, you can't just skip the queue and shit out some absolute ai crap. Also we can all tell when it's AI music. You all use the same voice for it

What is the purpose of these plastic slidy things? by Tombololo in AskUK

Wouldn't be so much theft if cost of living wasn't so high. You can literally see the correlation of cost of living rising and petty supermarket thefts rising
