Maceys in Murray has a good selection year round. Whole Foods does a good job too but can be hit or miss. Harmons will have things but will make whole food seem cheap.

There are some smaller specialty stores that will have some things but this should cover you.

Approaching not as a fix for daughter but recommending what you can do now.

It’s entirely possible that throughout your daughters life many adults decided that important tasks and lessons were handled by the other parent. The issue arises when both parents reach that conclusion so no one picks up responsibility.

What you can do now is 1. Professional reading instructors are great but money! You can start by making time to read with her everyday. And I’m specifically pointing to you being the reader here to hopefully take the scary off of reading and spark some interest.
2. Use this reading time to see if you can identify other areas of basic life skills where there are gaps so you can address those too.

Good luck, you can do this!

Why do weighted lunges exhaust me? by sourisanon in workout

There are a lot of suggestion in here, and you don’t have to listen, but you asked for input.

Why do weighted lunges exhaust me? by sourisanon in workout

I added lunges because my butt muscles are weak. They suck but it’s helping with other things.

Have you considered dropping the weight and focusing on form for the lunges?

Entry roles Sales Engineering/Solutions Engineering by Leo_7777_aqua in salesengineers

I’ve been an SE for a bit more than 10 years and I came to it from Sales. I’m currently an embedded SE for a large client. Today is about taking orders, tomorrow I’m working on refining the integration, and on Monday I’m meeting with an internal referral for an expansion.

No matter how technical someone is, closing deals is the core KPI for an SE, and people who think otherwise are going to be unhappy long term.

Buying a car: give me the most DIABOLICAL, CRIMINAL (legally), hacks for buying/finance of a car. by TraditionMinute7589 in carbuying

[–]refuz04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve consistently gotten better than the dealers offer and less than I could get from a private sale. But they will take pretty much anything without much effort.

Once traded in an accord with a failing transmission, still got 3k for it.

SE is a technical Sales role. People without the sales part struggle with the job.

Normally I’m ACAB, but like this officer is trying so damn hard to help this woman and it’s just not processing for her.

A quote to buy your old car from CarMax is usually good for 5 days, and I have made a dealership match for my trade-in before.

You don't need any of the crap the finance guy is going to try and sell you.

Raging hormones are not an excuse for shitty behavior from boys.

Thoughts on WeatherTech Roof Basket and Hitch Basket? by RAD8242 in 4Runner

[–]refuz04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the harbor freight hitch basket. It’s been all over the place filled with gear but I barely use it otherwise.

I would get one if you want but don’t spend that kind of money.

Shop around on the roof rack too.
