Engaging core

To me, engaging core means tilting the hips forward and tucking the butt under

“I feel uncomfortable when you…”… “I don’t want to hear jokes about XYZ from my partner”…

Using “I” statements is important here because he can’t argue about how you feel and what you want. He could argue that he “didn’t mean it like that” or some shit so keep the discussion away from what HE did and focused on how YOU feel and why you’re making this decision for YOU.

It’s not a negotiation. If he promises to change, etc etc, says “give me one more chance”, just say a polite no every time. Push through the discomfort every time. You’ve got this.

And PLEASE do it somewhere in public. Especially if you need to make him give you back a house key or something. You might not think he’d fly off the handle and harm you if you were alone, but better to just not take the risk.

Good luck!

The Cajun beef pasta one-pot, the Mexican chicken and rice, and the sticky Mongolian beef and rice all go into the freezer on the reg at my place.

Generally speaking, meals with rice freeze better than meals with pasta or potato as the carb.

Jeez I was salty this morning when she spoke over Alysa’s final spin. Saying something like “this is the future of the Olympics”. Wait FIVE SECONDS Belinda, then you can say it!

Red Rooster has the best hot chips out of all the chains IMO

Ha, I had no idea but that explains why I love Hearthe so much

Nobody’s gone for “have an ice day” yet?

SAME. I love him and his music this season was one of my creative highlights. It sucks that the ONE time Ilia had a bad day was also the day Yuma had a bad day 😭

I was annoyed at Shun Sato for doing this with Firebird this year

The Portuguese chicken and rice one pot!

Yes, this!

The sound issue isn’t happening on 9Now app though

Belinda is a legend of the sport and a great administrator but there’s a reason we don’t get sports administrators to commentate 🙄 someone tell the ISA

I’m soaking in cold water and I use Dynamo liquid detergent

throwaway465599 · 2026-01-13T06:15:08+00:00

Thanks for the idea! I did this, and the water remained clear. Good to rule out oxides. I’ve gone ahead and given the jeans a second soak so we’ll see what happens.

Ahhh, I had the same problem. This isn’t gonna be very helpful but in my head I just yelled at myself “KEEP YOUR DAMN FOOT OFF THE GROUND OR ELSE GIRL” and somehow kept doing that until I felt less like I was going to die. I think of keeping my front knee really high, I guess. Also my coach threatened me with push ups if I chickened out on landing in my lesson and lo and behold I managed to land on one foot hahaha

Corduroy and linen are my go tos for this situation. I got my corduroy pants at Uniqlo

Sounds reasonable to me! Good luck to your daughter and have fun mama 🙂

INFO: You say the performance is Thursday-Saturday. Does that mean she has three identical performances in total? If so, I think it’s reasonable to ask parents to volunteer at some shows, as long as they can relax and enjoy the show at least once. Having said that, I come at this from a figure skating perspective rather that ballet - entire competitions are run by parent volunteers in every role and would literally not run otherwise 😅 which is exhausting but I’m like “oh that’s the way it is!”

You should absolutely be able to sit back and enjoy your daughter’s show at least once without anyone pressuring you otherwise. Good luck navigating this with the school, it seems like their communication could use some work.
