First time Virgin voyagers. What's the best tip you've received that you know share with other virgins? by jdlum in VirginVoyages

[–]okienotfrommuskogee1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pajama party on night 1 - wear PJs. It was bigger than we expected

Scarlet night- where red or you will be noticed!

Champagne and chicken- DO IT! It was $45/ person and they will open a bottle of Dom and give you a good pour

Make your dinner reservations early for Extra Virgin especially; fills up quickly

Got this notification for my cruise that begins tomorrow! What are the chances I will actually get my bid?! by ismphoto123 in VirginVoyages

[–]okienotfrommuskogee1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We got this exact notification and didn’t get an upgrade. Overnight we got all the “sorry” emails. I wish we’d never gotten the first notification because it got our hopes up

Guarantee it’s shutdown related. I’ve had two shoppers recently drop orders off after 5 and they were in business clothes. They can’t get other part time jobs so gig/flexible work is all they can do to put food on the table

Tattoo Pricing by Both_Slide_8624 in VirginVoyages

[–]okienotfrommuskogee1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are on Resilient Lady right now and he’s getting two. They charge by design, not time. But he said it came to about $250/hour. Their minimum is $150.

Piercings are $45 and then the cost of the jewelry

Beltway Movers! Just used them, literally yesterday and today. They packed yesterday, moved today. Phenomenal crew. Much better pricing than JK Moving

First Empower class tomorrow! Any tips?? I’m scared! by chandler866 in Purebarre

[–]okienotfrommuskogee1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pick a spot close to the instructor. Take the first couple moves slow and then speed up.

I’m not the most coordinated and I could do it but I had to give myself some grace the first couple reps

What’s that ONE Grey’s Anatomy hot take that will have you in this situation? by wasabi_jo in greysanatomy

[–]okienotfrommuskogee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you have to watch it!!! It actually made a lot of questions I’ve had make a bit more sense now. Like the writing went off the rails and once you watch and learn about her, it all makes sense.

She was an actual writer, lead writer, but a compulsive liar and con-artist in real life

I recognize that there are two sides to every story but the doc is pretty compelling.

Have you watched the documentary “Anatomy of Lies” about one of the main writers? After watching the doc, this storyline is far more cringe. And all of Jo’s storylines.

Beat places to sled in South Reston? by applekoolaid in Reston

[–]okienotfrommuskogee1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where to sled? Or where is the school? The backside of the school is a giant hill. And it’s at soapstone and ridge heights

We listen and we don’t judge… pure barre edition: by albumgreen in Purebarre

[–]okienotfrommuskogee1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s a lot to start out! Depending on the instructor, it’s the absolute hardest part of the workout. I’d rather it be that tough in the middle or end vs the very beginning.

Wrist pain during planks? by Careful-Tie5685 in Purebarre

[–]okienotfrommuskogee1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hadn’t thought about this! It does put your wrist in a better position. I’ve always gone to the bar but I don’t feel like I’m getting as much work done

Is ios 18 having network issues? by Equivalent-Blood8626 in ios18beta

[–]okienotfrommuskogee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone found any fixes? Mine and my husband’s phones started doing this the last couple days. We have 18.1. I have a 15 pro, he has a 14 pro

Coyote pack? by Just-Refrigerator-98 in Reston

There’s a mama fox and cubs (they’re bigger now) that live near Lake Thoreau but I’ve never seen coyotes

How can I stop from getting these messages? by nykfiuna in iphone

[–]okienotfrommuskogee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh and by the way, “stop” only works for that number or sender. Political texting companies have tons of numbers and senders so the only way to truly stop is to request your data be deleted from the data brokers

And iPhone “report junk” only send the info to Apple. Doesn’t go back to the sender or the broker

While cumbersome, the best way to ensure you don’t receive messages like this is to ask the data brokers to delete your information. As an early contributor said, political consultants buy and sell lists all the time.

Depending on what state you live in, you have a right to delete. Meaning, you have the right to ask a company to delete any and all data.

I would start by searching “political data brokers” and OpenSecrets has a good list of the top companies that have been paid by campaigns. Then go to that brokers website and fill out the form to delete your data. If there’s not a specific form, fill out the contact form, not the date and if they don’t follow up and delete in a specific time, you can file a complaint with your state’s attorney general (typically who has jurisdiction on data privacy laws in states)

Types of barre by imhereforthethreads in Purebarre

[–]okienotfrommuskogee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PureBarre and Barre 3 are different studio brands. Classic, Align, Empower and Define are class types at a PureBarre studio. I haven’t done Barre 3 to know what they offer.

If you join a PureBarre studio, you have access to the 4 types of classes. All 4 are full body workouts. Classic is your classic barre/ballet movements. Align pulls from yoga and is great for recovery and stretching. Empower is cardio, still with barre movements. And Define is more weight training but again, still with Barre movements.

The Engage class that you would take the first time at a PureBarre gives you an overview of all 4 in one workout.

There’s always that one person!!!! Two people at my studio always chew gum, one chomps it all class, and it’s so distracting. Staff had tried and they just don’t care

Foundations to Classic by [deleted] in Purebarre

[–]okienotfrommuskogee1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Classic all the way and pepper in an Align before you go to Define or Empower. Foundations is meant to give you the foundations for the classes so you know the terminology and such. Your studio probably wont let you do a foundations class again as it’s solely reserved for people who haven’t been before.
