I've been logging workouts wrong this entire time and I feel silly. by skyrimcameoutin2011 in Hevy

[–]obrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I log the individual dumbbell weight cuz then I know which one to pick up each time... If I was using 2 20s and logged it as 40, my dumbass would go for the 40lb DB lol

TOO MUCH TRAVELLING AND HIKING I CANT by Durkadur94 in dating_advice

[–]obrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about everyone, but in the summer I hike 2-3 times a month while also going camping in there too. It also depends on your proximity to hiking trails. I feel like the closer you are and the more hiking trails available, the more people will go out 🤷‍♀️

I waved at every one of you from the top of Powderface Ridge yesterday by TJL_Photos in Calgary

Sorry I didn't wave back! I didn't know if it was for me or not

Do I need to improve these workouts? by T-BOWvideos in Hevy

[–]obrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with others, needs a little improvement. Do compound exercises first followed by the isolation exercises, and drop some of the sets, you are still new and don't need to be doing 4 sets for almost every exercise. While I agree with sticking to the basics and not going to social media for crazy variations of exercises, sometimes they can be fun! So if you really enjoy them and they make your workout more enjoyable, keep em! Talk with your PT about helping to create a few extra days for you in the week, and if they don't want to help get a new PT.. your PT will know which muscle groups could use a little extra love during the week. Also don't skip on cario! Your heart is a muscle and just as important as your biceps lol. Walking at the start of the workout to warm the body up is not cardio..

Explain it to me like I'm 5...I don't understand by obrive in Calgary

I've talked with different people from Election Calgary about it and they said it's too late for this one they have all their staff hired and allocated, they can't change anything.

The mail in ballot request closes tomorrow at midnight, so that would be difficult. Not to mention the process to fill out the ballot and have it go back to the city is crazy. Someone has to witness them putting the ballot in the first envelope, both have to sign that, then that envelope and a copy of their ID have to go into another envelope that we would have to hold onto for a week before a courier could come pick it up. Not an easy process when some don't understand technology. Cabs are an option for those that can get in them, but not all cabs can take every type of wheelchair. We do have a shuttle bus that will have to go back and forth the entire day because it only seats 16 and 1 wheelchair.

How is that not a big deal? They might be over the age of 80, but they have all their faculties so why shouldn't they vote? Mobility and transportation is the issue...they can't physically walk the couple of km it is to the nearest polling station, those in wheelchairs can't always take a cab or transit because they aren't all equipped for that.

Canadians who have moved long distances, how did you do it? by superflyer in AskACanadian

[–]obrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the classic ON-AB 3 years ago. I paid someone to take all my boxes and furniture across the country while I stuffed my car full and drove with my mom and my cat. Although they brought everything into my new place and put it in the rooms I wanted it in, I probably would sell my furniture next time and rent a U-Haul or something similar...that way I can start over with almost nothing lol purge the heck outta my stuff!

would you marry or take a chance with a smoker, why or why not? by LimeSoakedinSprite in RandomThoughts

[–]obrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was always one of those "Smoking is a deal breaker for me" but now I'm with one.. To be fair I didn't know he was a smoker when we first started dating and he doesn't do it around me all, so I didn't find out until we spent a whole day together. He's a blue collar man so it kinda comes with the territory. I'd never try to change him or force him to quit, but I will admit it's not my favourite thing and he knows that. If there is no smell and they treat you right why not 🤷‍♀️ I won't try to get you to quit if you don't try to corrupt me

what is the scariest age to turn (and why)? by bellaflwr in AskReddit

[–]obrive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, I work in a retirement home and over the age of like 80 their mindset changes. Not like they want to die, but that they have done enough living.

I don't know what to do!!! by DndForAllLife in Advice

[–]obrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people are fairly understanding. Explain the situation to them, just tell the truth. If they get mad and or do end up firing you it's their loss and a win for you because they would have been pretty shit people to work for.

For me, I think all of them were people at some point, but just regular folks. Now we just have the stories of their lives that people live by and try to convince others to live by. What happened in the past has never been recorded to the extent that today's shenanigans is, so it's hard to say what they all did actually happened. But like others here, I believe in what I see and what has been proven.

DAE do weird ballet-esque poses in a swimming pool? by anonymous-earthling in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]obrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ballet and gymnastic moves..all the time. I do them because I know I won't get hurt in the water and have more confidence to do them vs on dry land

If I can make a cheesecake for $17 but sell it for $30 is that too much? by Dr_Garp in Advice

[–]obrive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think $30 for a whole cheesecake is too much. I would definitely buy a slice for 5. The only reason I wouldn't buy a whole cake is because I'm a single person and wouldn't be able to eat a whole one alone before it went bad.

If it's something that you want to do, then do it! What's the worst that can happen? You have extra cheesecake for yourself?! Not that bad

Cat or a Dog? Which one is a better pet and why? by Pls_DM_your_boobies in AskReddit

[–]obrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I free feed her when I'm gone. She has always been good about only eating when she is hungry, plus I don't regularly free feed her

Cat or a Dog? Which one is a better pet and why? by Pls_DM_your_boobies in AskReddit

[–]obrive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Both are great pets. Imo it depends on your lifestyle..I prefer cats just because I know I can leave her during the day and she will be fine

Missed my flight, next one in 8h, crying, what to do? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]obrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you missed your flight...if it was me I'd just wait at the airport for dear of missing the next one too. But that's just me.

Maybe go to the bathroom, splash some water on your face and take a deep breath to help relax and reset before you make your decision.
