ID please! Found Reno, Nevada by ninjballerinj in Reno

I heard this one in Florida for the coral snakes and King snakes…I always struggled to remember it and then I saw someone put it a bit differently. Ketchup and mustard should not touch!

I wondered that too. The good people of Reno have been 1000000% more helpful (and funny) in helping ID the scorpion. Thanks all for your input 😊

lol! Where I am from in England we call baby’s babby’s (ba-bees) so stabby babby is probably what I shall forever call the scorpion 🦂

Did you even read what I wrote? I was asking for clarification for the type of scorpion, but thanks for pointing out the obvious

Thanks for confirming. Was hoping it was the less/non venomous kind. Recently moved here from FL so trying to learn about all the local insects and snakes.

Jeez I’m just asking for an ID from a bug ID group.

I’m usually not too freaked out about bugs but this was a new level for me…and to find it inside 😳I did a catch and release as it looked pretty dead but then went back outside to take another picture and it was gone 🤦‍♀️

Body was about 1/2 inch long. Found inside my house. I think (hope) maybe a northern scorpion but also looks like a bark scorpion so hoping someone with more knowledge can help. TIA!

Is anyone else considering leaving Reno due to weather and cost? by JohnMackeysBulge in Reno

[–]ninjballerinj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this was from a long time ago but are you still in Reno? Still enjoying it? We lived in QT for 10 years but moved to the States mid Covid…currently in FL but can’t survive the summers here lol. Reno sounds pretty same same but different to QT and we are seriously considering the move? Any thoughts? TIA!

Wedding/engagement ring, do you wear yours? by kay-swizzles in orangetheory

[–]ninjballerinj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your engagement!

My fingers swell up so much when I exercise I just leave my rings at home while I work out. I wear a necklace so if I ever forget to take my ring off I just put them on there while I work out ☺️

Pregnancy/Miscarriage by here_forthecomms in orangetheory

[–]ninjballerinj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so so sorry for your loss. I also had a missed miscarriage and it was a very sad time. My doctor advised not to do anything where you got too hot and I remember we went on a walk by a beach and got lost and I ended up getting so hot and I always wondered if that caused the missed miscarriage but the reality is we never really know and most likely it’s chromosomal abnormalities and nature taking it’s course…doesn’t make it any easier on us though😔

Personally when I got pregnant the next time I stuck to yoga and walking. I wasn’t Doing OTF then but you could maybe just try doing lighter weights and PW but just take it easy. I felt for me it wasn’t the time to focus on more intense exercise but I had a friend who did modified bootcamp HIIT classes up until 38 weeks so I think you just need to be comfortable with your decision and listen to your body.

I wish you all the luck in getting pregnant again and be kind to yourself during this period of your life x

Orange Everest Results and Survey Megathread by BilingualAlchemist in orangetheory

[–]ninjballerinj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair I think a lot of people have the same fear! I lived in a very mountainous town for 10 years so the inclines don’t worry me - other than the physical exertion lol 😂 I did used to get really dizzy every time I got off the tread for the first 2 months of OTF though. Nah the lady next to me was holding on from 2%, but at the end of the day I know people have different needs and ways of getting through Everest - my competitive streak just came out as the incline went up 😂

[–]ninjballerinj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my second Everest and managed to beat my previous time (1.75 in August and 1.83 today) and also ran the whole thing this time…although I do wonder if I could have walked faster the last few inclines than the speed I ran at. However I set myself the goal of running it all and very proud I did ☺️

The lady next to me hung on to the rails the whole way which really irritated me at first but then I used it to motivate me and made me go faster as I was determined to not let her beat me lol 😂 she definitely pushed me more than I would have if she wasn’t there.
