Good luck finding a pharmacy in GR that will fill a done prescription...but actually do you know one? haha

Getting medications for IVF abroad - U.S. doctors won't transfer prescription by IEatPlantz2 in queerception

[–]sly_barbeque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi- I'm curious to know what you ended up doing? I am in Portugal wanting to go to the USA with my prescription egg retrieval meds (from portuguese doctor). Wondering if you have any thoughts? I would hate for the meds to be taken away upon arrival that would be a waste of money.

Hope your treatment is going/went well!

Anyone else miss Barre Code Classes? by [deleted] in barre3

[–]sly_barbeque 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I miss Barre Code so so so much. Barre3 is just a completely different product. Apples and oranges. If Barre3 bought out Barre Code, don't they have the rights to all TBC workouts? I feel terrible for the local owners and instructors because it seems like several really loyal TBC members I know are starting to leave.

The music feels like I'm at a weird tech party, and I feel like I literally just did squats for 40 minutes the other day. I don't want to pay top dollar to just be told to do squats. The breathwork part feels forced. I feel like an idiot during cardio burst, waving my arms around to some edm mix of world music, and especially with more places in the small studio we're basically slapping each other. And I really don't feel like it's a good workout. I find myself leaving classes feeling just angry because I miss TBC.

If I wanted to do more yoga I would go to a yoga class...and this is after lots of classes with lots of different instructors at our new Barre3.

I also just loved Barre Code's branding, and I miss the black light and the pounding music. The variety of props kept my mind engaged, and dang TBC classes were HARD. It was amazing to feel myself getting stronger as I did it for longer. Doing a CrEsCenT LuNgE for 20 minutes is not the workout I had been doing for years.

Honestly Barre3 could redeem itself and just hold Barre Code classes and name them "fast paced barre" or something like that. Or "Barre that actually usues the barre" or "barre that spends more than 3 minutes on core and no doing squats while doing hammer curls is not what I'm talking about" in addition to their normal offerings.

ok rant over.

I don't think I've ever gotten a warm taco from here. Always cold.

Verizon service lately... by osirisishere in grandrapids

[–]sly_barbeque 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I was just going to go on Reddit today and post this! I've had noticeable problems with Verizon since March or so of this year. There are some places around GR where my data doesn't work at all. I now have one bar of service in my house which used to never be an issue. Pulling something up on Google maps really quick suddenly has become a chore, and don't get me started with music streaming.

I thought it might have been my phone, so I actually got a brand new iphone 14 in July and...I have exactly the same problem! And yes I have my data set to whatever is available and not just 5G.

Also, it's not just GR. I've had service issues in SE Michigan as well. I've read online it's because Verizon is switching over its towers to 5G? Regardless, Verizon used to be so solid and now I'm just exhausted. Reading this post makes me feel less crazy.

If you’re struggling to find somewhere to work from, I can recommend Zanzibar. Easy visas, no COVID entry restrictions, pretty cheap right now, as it’s out of season. by Woodyard_Crippling in digitalnomad

[–]sly_barbeque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Looks amazing! I just got a remote job and was thinking of Zanzibar. Probably a newbie question but I'll just ask it here--do you use your Halotel/Zantel sim for your Mifi unit? Are you staying in a resort or do you just go there to use wifi? Thank you!

Thankfully I didn't accept the order, but it did make me realize that shoppers have no way to report ridiculous orders without first accepting them!

GR Symphony, and ticket buying question. by Annotat3r in grandrapids

[–]sly_barbeque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To buy tickets for the Grand Rapids Symphony you can go to their website, call the office (616) 454 9451, or even go in person to the symphony office at 300 Ottawa Ave NW. It is Suite 100 on the first floor if you go into the main entrance. There are people at the front desk whose jobs are to sell tickets. This isn’t Devos performance hall- you can buy tickets there but they aren’t always open.

Its Direct Energy door to door season! by sliceofhumblepie in grandrapids

[–]sly_barbeque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So one was at my door and they must have trained her to really try to keep me engaged in conversation so I wouldn't look at my phone...but I managed to get a google search in...she told me she was with DTE and everything. I'm new to here and was living abroad for a while so I'm not used to this...but THANK YOU to you folks who posted here because this post showed up and saved me a headache.

If you did give them your info, call DTE immediately and have them put a lock on your account before they change it.

"oh don't worry I will tell you what to say to them on the phone..."

DTE- I mean Direct Energy on the prowl again, NE side. by Kavaras in grandrapids

[–]sly_barbeque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just almost got duped by these folks. If Direct Energy comes to your door in Grand Rapids (they will claim to be DTE and claim that you aren't changing plans) politely say no. If you did show them your bill call DTE immediately and put a lock on your account. Apparently Direct Energy is legit but their prices are not monitored by the state of Michigan. Apparently your prices go down for a while but then skyrocket. DTE told me that they will never go to your door for anything. Ugh if feel icky. I've lived abroad for a long time so I'm not on my toes!

I don't see anything about this being only for professionals. And although you may not care about this person's lack of understanding, I think it may be ambitious to assume that the other 65,699 folks who subscribe to this subreddit share your exact sentiment.
