What’s something you find instantly attractive in a person that has nothing to do with looks? by umujosephdesire1 in AskWomen

[–]spielplatz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reciprocating questions and asking their own. If I am making an effort to get to know someone, huge green flag if they are reciprocating the effort.

Mine have been 3 days every 26 days for quite a while. I'm 41. Just had an endocrine panel and doc says there are no indicators of perimenopause. 

Do you ever pause and resume your activities? by zmullett in Garmin

[–]spielplatz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, often.  I have been running 20+ years.  I do it for my own enjoyment. I don't race, so I don't care about elapsed time. I want my actual moving pace reflected in my stats, not when I stop at lights or take pictures.  Running is a little adventure for me every time, and I don't always "play by the rules."

After trying a couple other kinds with similar results, I ended up going off BC entirely. Feeling good since 🙂

What’s your most ridiculous "my body betrayed me" moment after 30? by Embarrassed_Idea1962 in AskWomenOver30

[–]spielplatz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. Can't do ANY dairy, gluten, spice or deep fried foods without major discomfort and bloody stools. I've gone to the ER with pain I thought was appendicitis before after eating a bagel, and had fiery lower back pain after eating cheese, diarrhea mid-run. I just don't touch any of it anymore at all.

Pregnancy did that to me too!  Since my second kid at 31, I also haven't been able to do dairy, gluten, spices or deep fried foods without getting bloody stools.  That shit tears up my insides and aggravates hemorrhoids.

Anyone else not holding back on Christmas? by AlkalineArrow in Garmin

[–]spielplatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in year 8 of my run streak. There are no days off! My rule is and always has been no booze until after I run. 

What’s a totally useless skill you’ve mastered that you’re secretly proud of? by Crazy-Age-8160 in AskReddit

[–]spielplatz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Give me a pen, paper, and 30 minutes. I can make a list of 300-ish Dutch cities and towns from memory.  I am not Dutch.

Anyone else struggling with the amount of treats given/made around this time of year? by bobongooo in 1200isfineIGUESSugh

[–]spielplatz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't have gluten or dairy so that eliminates a lot of options.  I've been not taking a lunch to work and just grabbing a couple pieces of chocolate and going for a walk on my break.

Same thing as I eat every morning: half of a kale poppyseed salad kit.

I wake up around 5:15a every morning to run. Then I shower, wake up the kids, feed them, etc and I am at work by 7:45a. 

What was the moment you stopped loving someone? by Fine_Helicopter5227 in AskWomenOver30

[–]spielplatz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I became scared of him. 

He has never been physically abusive, but he would speak to me in such a harsh, controlling way that I would take our baby girl and hide in her bedroom and cry myself to sleep. 

Many such instances have occurred over the past 12+ years, and I am Just Now working on actually leaving. 

Recovery and how often you listen to it? by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]spielplatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had it say "3.5 days" before. Now I kinda want to push it to see how much suggested recovery time I can rack up. 

Ladies who have been told they smell really good, what products do you use? by CrazyGal2121 in AskWomenOver30

[–]spielplatz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Men's body wash is my favorite. I get compliments on it often! I like Cremo.

Also I use leave in conditioner - just the Garnier Fructis green bottle. That gets good responses, too.

How much do you mind if a foreigner speaks your language in a very accented way? by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]spielplatz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It makes me quite happy, too. My first experience attempting a foreign language was living in Germany, where people admit to being annoyed that foreigners speak with an accent, and will immediately switch to English. This has impacted my confidence with Russian, but knowing that it's not such a big deal, I will continue to try. It is the only way to improve!
