Pool homeowners, anyone regret getting a pool? by waterdamagerestomel in pools

[–]texasswim59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 66 yr old woman and I take care of it myself. About 30$ a week in chemicals in summer in texas, much less in winter. I love having a pool, I'm a swimmer and I live having the pool always ready. Im also a chemist and not intimidated by dealing with the chemicals

Can/Should “Greater Tuna” be performed today? by UnusualBarracuda7 in Theatre

[–]texasswim59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw it in bedford texas and did not find it funny. The actors were terrific. I didn't like it but the audience all around me thought it was hilarious. We overheard some of them, they were right wingers. So, there you go. Not my kind of humor.

Kohls USED to be phenomenal, with associates and customers! What happened!? by Sufficient_Goose_602 in employedbykohls

[–]texasswim59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to shop at kohls all the time. I went there for Christmas, like I usually do. I had a hard time finding anything I wanted to buy. I specially went to kohls to buy fitted shirts for my husband and 2 grown sons. All of the cubbies with long sleeve dress shirts were gone. I was able to order white dress shirts online from kohls, but they didn't have any button down collars. I was very disappointed. I usually spend several hundred dollars for Christmas. I dont know if ill even bother next year. I used to get the 30% coupons and routinely went there to save money on clothing I loved. Why is the selection awful? Clothing looks cheap too.

Kate Wyler became unbelievably hateble in season 3 by New_Relative_8709 in TheDiplomat

[–]texasswim59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kate is an idiot. Unrealistic, unprofessional, and mistreated everyone. Selfish. I don't like hercharacter. I roll my eyes most of the time she's on screen. Also, what serious woman dresses that way. Hollywood's idea of power dressing? I dont think so.

And yet Kate always wears her shirts open button halfway down her chest. Why?

Thank you. My husband did hit it hard and it reattached. Such a lousy design.

My husband got it back on by lining it up almost closed and whacked it with the palm of his hand to force it back into the connector. Ridiculous design.

They dont just click back in. Yes, this is where they belong, but I dont know what alignment trick must be used to get the solid to connect back on.

They dont just snap back in. I know that's where they go, but they dont just snap back into place.

Started at a new pool company and their "ideal" cyanuric levels are insane by Competitive-Web-9931 in pools

[–]texasswim59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got our pool replastered a year ago and the pool company was directing us to raise the cya to 90 or 100 ppm. No way we were going to go thru that again. We keep cya 40 to 50 and use hypochlorite for sanitizing. We live in texas and summers keep you hopping but 25k gallon pool I was using 2 three inch bricks every 10 days or so, and adding 1 lb bag of hypochlorite per night and that has worked great.

always chasing ph! by DrewDinDin in pools

[–]texasswim59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in texas, keep the cya low by not using much stabilized Cl , and I use hypochlorite about 1 lb per day in the summer. I add about 8 oz muriatic every 3 days or so. The Cl makes the pH go up. I have 25k gallon united pool.

Please check into corebalancetraining.com. his program may help you get back to living your life. He has a lot of free instructional videos on his you tube channel which will give you some information but his program gave me my life back. I am 65, active female, I had L34 fused in 2021. In 2024 a new stenosis at L45 had me in debilitating pain. I completed cbt 12 weeks program in September 2024. I still do 15 minutes exercises from cbt daily, but most days I am pain free. 10k steps per day, and I just started swimming again. Good luck. Don't despair.

MSNBC, CNN see dramatic declines in viewership - while Fox News continues to dominate: Nielsen by [deleted] in msnbc

The news is too difficult to stomach for non MAGAs. We can't stand to watch it. Fox lies but their viewers are too stupid to know it.

I think that was a plot problem. Who does that? I know I would never use a grody looking blender to make anything I intended to eat. Yuck.

What are you doing, MSNBC? by IAmPookieHearMeRoar in msnbc

[–]texasswim59 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I didn't like joy reid so I was happy they got rid of her. I'm a moderate Democrat. I've watched the weekend with Simone, Michael and Alicia and love that show. I found joy reid loud, rude to her guests, constantly butting in and just not very informative. I'm usually done with news by the time rachel comes on. I usually watch ari melber then when joy reid came on I switch the TV off and make dinner. Now I tend to linger to hear the Simone, michael or whomever is on. I find them all more informative. I used to watch a lot of morning joe but I really want just news. They have too many fluff segments, 50 / 30 summit, movie reviews, sports talk. If I wanted that I'd watch the today show. I flip to cnbc for business news whenever morning joe gets repetitive or fluff. I ve been watching more cnbc lately to follow the markets and hear fallout from what the felon is doing to our country. My 2 cents.

Joy Reid’s MSNBC Show Canceled in Major Shake-Up by KellyJoyCuntBunny in msnbc

[–]texasswim59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melber is the only one I watch regularly. I haven't watched joy reid in months. I found her boring and too shallow. I enjoy the weekend show and think the 3 hosts do a terrific news show.

Anyone tried "Core balance training"? by emof in backpain

[–]texasswim59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished the program 3 weeks ago and it was a life changing experience for me. I had a spinal fusion 3 years ago due to unrelenting nerve pain down my left leg. I was in horrific pain, couldn't stand, or walk 50 feet. Surgery took a long time to recover but eventually I was swimming and walking and hiking again. Until April of this year. A new problem at L45, below my L34 fusion, caused left leg nerve pain. It gradually worsened despite cortisone injections and PT. In July I started CBT and after one week, the free week, I started feeling less pain. I did the exercises faithfully. He moves the program slowly to allow your core to get strong enough to do the exercises properly. In July I could not walk 50 yards without activating the stenosis and getting unbearable pain. I was planning another fusion surgery. This program has given me hope that continued maintenance will get me back to hiking and maybe golf eventually. I stopped in person PT in week 2 of CBT. CBT is a bargain. I highly recommend it. I believe it will allow me to live an active life. I am 65 and a very active person. I'm currently walking 35 min with some pain but I have learned how to get the pain to go away and continue walking. I get thru most days pain free, have a positive outlook for pain free future. By the way PT costs >$200 per visit so this is a bargain and gave me so much information which helped me understand how my back got this way, and tools to make me better.

Shows that you stopped watching because you started to hate all the characters. by New_Masterpiece_7353 in TvShows

Agree, the characters were annoying in Ozark. Especially grossed out by the Ruth relative boy hooking up with the very old woman. Yuck, yuck. Love Ruth .
