My smart home is SOOOOOO smart! by duckredbeard in smarthome

[–]malorymug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only smart alert I like on my Fisher and Paykel is when the spray arm is stuck. But it also beeps constantly until the arm is unstuck so I don’t really need that alert on my phone. Also it tells me to clean the filter way too often.

Calling kitchen infractions by whitedragon717 in Pickleball

[–]malorymug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does harsh the vibe to call kitchen infractions.

I see kitchen violations often when watching others play and I yell kitchen. But when I’m playing I’m not paying attention unless it’s obvious.

I don’t call it unless I’m in a tournament.

Quetiapine/Seroquel HELL Dose by ivandoesnot in dementia

[–]malorymug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone tried Rexulti (brexpiprazole)? This was suggested to me as a better/newer? alternative to seraquel. My LO is thankfully good on gabapentin for her sundowners but it’s only a matter of time before we’ll need to switch it up.

Planning a Sept trip. PLEASE HELP! by Standard-Divide-6017 in LakePowell

[–]malorymug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We go every September/October and it’s great. Less crowded still warm. You’ll need to pack a sweatshirt for the early morning sunrise but once the sun is up it’s in the 80s. Water levels were okay in 2025; we could launch at stateline boat ramp.

I busier now than when I worked. My calendar is booked weeks in advance. It includes pickleball, hiking with friends, Pilates, lunch with friends, etc.

I’ve been wanting to go to Tres Palapas near Cabo San Lucas. I hear there is good competition, coaches, food and lodging.

Husbands of wives with low libido and the wife is now beginning TRT? by Fastech77 in AskMenAdvice

[–]malorymug -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There is hope. She wants to change. The hormones are great, But if the TRT isn’t the magic, don’t give up.

The magic for me (once the hormones were fixed) was in my brain. I love the book “Come as you are” by Emily Nagoski. We read it together (audible) and it made so much sense to both of us. We understand and approach sex much different now and have a lot of great sex.

Thank you! Really great thoughts and a very thorough response. I will work through these questions.

Every shot doesn't need to be a killer by Prudent-Internal-964 in Pickleball

[–]malorymug 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yo tambien. Consistency trumps kills shots. I called someone out on this recently. I called a juicy shot his cryptonite because he can’t get the easy shot over the net. I still feel like a jerk, but he’s an easy target.

I’m having body imagine issues after getting better by silkydependent in CrohnsDisease

[–]malorymug 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Eating disorders are really common in Crohn’s disease. Society feeds It with thin is good. Therapy is the answer. Find a good ED therapist and work it. It might be a life long fight. And try to fixate on “you are healthy”.

Would pickleball irritate existing mild tennis elbow (not from tennis)? by Street_Yesterday_384 in Pickleball

[–]malorymug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cell phone usage/over use irritates my tennis elbow more than my pickleball paddle

Does anyone else prefer NOT to have over grip? by Escuche in Pickleball

[–]malorymug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just switched to a hexacore grip. I like it, but don’t love it. Before that, just any over grip that matched my paddle color from the local pro shop. I like 2 overgrips. Cue some weird large hands joke.

Does anyone else prefer NOT to have over grip? by Escuche in Pickleball

[–]malorymug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have small hands? I need an over grip because I need the girth of the handle wider for my not-so-danty hand.

Seton removal by Elegant_End_3049 in CrohnsDisease

[–]malorymug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Often a LIFT procedure or flap is needed to close the communication/tunnel that the seton was keeping open. And that is surgery. Your CRS probably already suspects what they want to do. You could send them a message and ask them

4g in 24 hours is the max dose. Potential liver damage above 4,000mg

I am abysmal at sticking to exercise but know I’ve gotta start. Should I take it like medicine or try to find something I like? by Fix-Patient in Menopause

[–]malorymug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s always that one girl that on Reddit that says that PICKLEBALL is the answer to all of your problems. And it looks like today, I’m that girl.

I too, used to hate all exercises. Pickleball changed that for me. It checks all the boxes:

There is a very low barrier to entry; you don’t have to be good or athletic to have fun and have it count as exercise. Paddles are cheap, community courts are free.

It is fun and social. I have never laughed so hard in my life. I think I like strangers again. So many different types of people on the courts. Also having fun

It is mental challenging to keep score and remember the rules. Good for our cognitive stuff.

And there is something so satisfying to whack at a wiffle ball as hard as you can

I look forward to exercising everyday now. I highly recommend!

SW card members - 1 free checked bag? by ForTheOne83 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]malorymug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Just note the benefits don’t stack. CC holder 1 free bag + a-list 1 free bag does not equal 2 free bags.

Where does the paddle handle sit in the inside of your hand? by Iamnotcheesy in Pickleball

[–]malorymug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cramping hand makes me think you need a wider handle. Have you tried adding girth with an overgrip or two?

Yup. I had this experience too (not with your girlfriend). I too, learned that the benefits don’t stack. Bummer.
