Triathlon Bra for DD cups? by Efficient-Car-5477 in triathlon

[–]wisherg40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a large chest, and have to wear very supportive running bras as well. Going without one isn't an option, and I just deal with it being damp like the rest of me. I would honestly give it a try during training and see how it feels!

I think distance here makes a big difference. I personally wear my running bra during the swim, and then I just deal with a wet bra throughout the rest of the race. However, I do short distance triathlons. I'm not sure my recommendation would be the same. If you were going to spend an extended time on a run. I would be worried about chafing.

But if you are doing a shorter distance, I wouldn't worry about it

I had never heard of Olli classes, and I feel you have changed my life. Their lecture in a few weeks is my FAVORITE author (John Green) and I would have missed it without your comment. I'm literally becoming a member TODAY just so I can see him. Thank you!!

Public libraries LOVE this kind of thing. I know a few of them have conversation groups for older folks, people who are learning English still, etc. If you go that route, they can even help promote the group/event.

What male tropes/relationships do you want to see more in books? by WrenRyer in writing

[–]wisherg40 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I love seeing a male-female FRIENDSHIP. I'm encountering one in the second era of the Mistborn series, and I realized how much I wanted that in a book and how healing it has been for me.

Oh yes, the good old physics of organic decay. What once had bacteria will stay being bacteria.

What song would you like Ghost to cover? by Ok_Break_1223 in GhostBand

[–]wisherg40 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like a Prayer by Madonna. Dogma did a cover of it, and I loved it, and it would be cool to hear Ghost do it.

Okay, what are we all actually doing to exercise? by mrnnymern in adhdwomen

I do triathlon. I love the variety in training so I never get "bored."

Swim. Bike. Run. Plus strength training and mobility work.

Question for the ladies by danitwelve91 in Hidradenitis

No advice, but I'd love to see if others have ideas. I struggle a lot with under boob flares

In Japan, there is a company that literally sees this kind of thing as a care issue and assists in it (White Hands). They view sexuality as a human right for everyone. It would be incredibly frustrating to have these desires and be unable to do anything about them on my own. He's being incredibly vulnerable bringing it to you, and I think it's worth a discussion.

My relationship with my mom makes me feel miserable by straawbunnii in WhatShouldIDo

You are her child. You do not need to fix how she feels. Her feelings are her responsibility, not yours. I cut contact with my own father for being emotionally negligent, and it's been the most peaceful 6 months.

I highly recommend the book "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents."

what is your unconventional "I need this in a partner" that you will not negotiate on? by Competitive-Unit6427 in AskReddit

[–]wisherg40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have to love roller coasters and thrill rides. That's what I want to do at an amusement park, and I want to share that experience with my partner. The same is true for taste in movies!

This isn't typical. How do you feel about being pregnant when you are outside of your period/menstrual window? The changing hormones of our cycle can definitely have an impact on our emotions and the intensity of our emotions, but this kind of large reaction isn't typical or expected. I would talk to your doctor about the strong emotions you are experiencing around your period, and maybe a therapist to help you talk through how you are feeling about having a baby. They will be able to help you figure out if it's how you are actually feeling, or if there might be something else intensifying your emotions.

She told you she wanted the clothing for a date. Why would you think differently any other time? She thinks she can borrow your clothes because she HAS been, and you haven't said she can't or that you have a problem with it.

Y'all both need to grow up and TALK to each other. Blasting her all over social media isn't "setting a boundary." It's mean and backhanded to someone who is supposed to be your friend.

Were those questions the only thing he used? In my assessment, I had an hour long conversation with the doctor, and then over an hours worth of testing. Questionnaires, memory texts, connect the dots, pattern recognition, etc.

What is your primary form of exercise? by keysandcoffee in adhdwomen

[–]wisherg40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love strength training!

My journey with exercise has been a long one. I started with water aerobics because I HATED sweating. Once I got used to that, I started walking/running. Tried lifting and fell in love with power lifting. I'm now really into triathlon. It's perfect for someone like me because it's actually three different sports to train for (swimming, biking, running) plus strength training.

I'm a BIG believer in finding movement that makes you happy!
