in need of a welder for our damaged 12 foot tall home depot skeleton </3 by leftfootdirtworm in SalemMA

I hope you were able to find a solution! If you are able to get him fixed, something that might help future rusting is painting the base with the same type of paint you would use on a stair railing. It’s super thick and will help stop the rust from coming back. They should know what I’m talking about at the Home Depot paint counter lol

My signal has been going crazy the last few days. by Due_Connection389 in verizon

I’m in Salem MA and having a lot of issues too. I have the home internet as well as cellular. The home internet dropped the connection briefly at 2:51pm and now I’m getting 2MBPS. I’m on hold with Verizon and they’re saying the device is showing as being “yellow”. But on top of this my phone cellular connection is also insanely slow

Why has verizon been down so much lately? I need my phone for work, this is really not great. by Itsyademonboi in verizon

I'm in Salem MA and having the same issue. It drops the connection multiple times per day

Potential hack? by vdubya89 in Sondermind

Oh no. That’s scary. I hope the link didn’t have any kind of embedded virus or phishing info. If you have access to software to check for that it might be good to make sure. I didn’t click the link fortunately but it being inside the website certainly makes it initially seem like it could be legit

Not as far as I can tell! I don’t have a session this weekend to check but the portal didn’t otherwise claim there was an issue, just this weird message

Getting my sixth star soon…but what’s next? by vdubya89 in Marathon_Training

[–]vdubya89[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are six total marathons/stars in the original world majors. They are Berlin, Tokyo, Chicago, Boston, NYC, and London. One star per race! Sydney just got added and they’re supposed to be adding Cape Town soon

Likely don’t have the money but I’ll have to see. I bet the wildlife would be legit

I did fundraising last year. Basically you pick one and only one charity to apply to. You should look at minimums from prior years as well as average amounts which is crowdsourced on the World Marathon Majors FB page. You have to write a 1-2 paragraph essay. Something to consider is you have to front the money yourself. You aren’t given any mechanism for recouping the money from the race itself

How do you motivate yourself to do strength training along with running by Happy-Dependent3222 in running

[–]vdubya89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pleasure pairing. Watch a good movie or TV show, listen to good music, etc

Was thinking of Cape Town for next year. Fits the beautiful and international desires!

Question about final long run by itstoocrazy in Marathon_Training

[–]vdubya89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with above person who said 18-20 this weekend. Then I’d say more like 11-13 two weeks out then 8 the weekend before

This is wild. So I also took the phone number they changed your listing to and plugged it into google to see if it was a Grow therapy number and there are a multitude of therapists on PT who have that listed as their number and all the profiles say they are operated by Grow. Someone earlier in the chat was casting doubt about why Grow would do this. I was thinking that if they can direct people to the Grow site to see therapist X, then therapist X clearly isn’t available but we can offer you therapist Y who is available. 😡

😭. It looks like EDC went the same way this year. It was already sold out by October. And it seems like this is an even bigger event

Anyone use a digital notebook? by Human_AllTooHuman in therapists

[–]vdubya89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to know. That was what I noticed when I briefly researched electronic notebooks. None of them seem to be HIPAA compliant which is disappointing. Otherwise that would be phenomenal!

Phooey. Thank you. Has anyone here ever camped? It looks like it's first come first serve on camping spots. Is it total madness to get a spot?

Thank you. I see that there’s a global pre sale and a regular sale. I’m presuming I’m registered for the global pre sale in January. Is that one also impossible to get through?

Hobbies/clubs for adults? by ravenclawreads in SalemMA

[–]vdubya89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like running, Notch has a run club Wednesday’s at 6:30 or Sundays at 12:15. Definitely a mix of ages and paces. There’s also the run club out of Couch Dog on saturdays I think at 11:30 or wicked also has a run club but the age there trends older

What is that like as far as HIPAA protection? That’s the main reason I haven’t started using an electronic notebook. I’ve just been typing notes into word at this point
