LPT just for you - floating around on LPT Requests to just shit on people is a dh move and the makings of a very sad life. Enjoy it.

Raquetball is tons of fun. Go to a gym with courts and just learn it, then join in with regular goers and have a blast.

THIS!!! You don’t have to be a full time coach! in fact tons of coaches are part time, and are extremely active in their sport to be able to demonstrate and do it with the kids. Bonus: you set your own coaching hours and make side money!

Reply to LPT: How to remove virtually all blindspots from the majority of autos. Most people “gun sight” their side mirrors which is only ok if you have convex (aka bubble) mirrors also, otherwise it leaves massive blind spots at your 4:00 and 8:00. Read on for instructions. by Sapphire580
I drove home today in the dark and I wasn't blinded by headlights in my side mirrors. It did seem weird at first but watching the cars move from the rearview to the side view really works like you said, OP. Thanks!

Reply to LPT request: Can anyone give me a couple ideas or things to try, that might alleviate some of the guilt and shame I (28F) feel? by magdeedz
So, context: I come from a family with addiction issues but have somehow avoided them to this point in my life.
That said, on a long enough timeline, every person with the slightest bit of self awareness will do/has done things that bring overwhelming shame. We are all fallible human beings.
It is the fact that you are TRYING to do better, that you are making an effort to go down a different path, that makes you immediately worthy of respect. It’s so easy to fall back into the comfort of the devil that we know.
If there are specific individuals that you’ve harmed, reach out. Let them know how you feel and that you’ve changed. You cannot control their response, but you will sleep better knowing you left nothing unsaid.
I wish you the best of luck. Growth without suffering is impossible, as man is both the sculptor and the clay.

Reply to LPT Request: Dealing with neck pain for the past 3 days, what should I do next? What can I do in the future to prevent this? by DaisyClaims
Vicks rub is for breathing not muscles. For muscle I recommend bio freeze or Rock sauce. If still hurts in 2 days, see a chiropractor

If you want to go pro start taking steroids like the rest of them. If you don't want to fuck up your body for life then find something else for your competitive spirit

Hot water bottle and ibuprofen. Possibly see a physio therapist if it's rye neck. Otherwise try Yoga stretches like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2NQhpFGIOg

See I’m the opposite! I always crave a Tower Zinger and then complain cause they put random sauces in there AND I KNOW HOW IT’S MADE

Reply to LPT: Whenever making a purchase on a website that you see an “enter promo code here” - flip to another tab and search the website name and promo code to find discounts available. I just got 10% off a purchase without even leaving the search engine. by [deleted]
I use the Honey google chrome plugin. It automatically searches for and tries numerous codes before you check out

Get some muscle relaxers, i remember I would wake up with a very severe stiff neck I would take a relaxer and in 30 minutes I would feel like I could do head spins.

Excedrine. It's not just for headaches. It does amazing things for back pain, severe sore throat, and muscle pain.

Reply to LPT: if someone you know has lost a family member unexpectedly, particularly a younger one, do not bring up the death of your grandparents to compare. by idigthewig34
It's natural for people to try to let you know how they "understand" what you're experiencing. It's nearly always a bad idea. Frankly, it's not great listening skills at the very least. At worst, it's just terrible. If you're aware of something going on with someone, just be a shoulder if you can. Don't offer an example of your experience.

There are a lot of bad ones, not gonna argue that. That’s why I qualified it with “doctor recommended”. A competent chiro/PT combo provider that uses chiropractic technic in the process of broader physical therapy is largely recognized as a good approach to pain management and wellness

This also applies if you file jointly and one spouse makes more than the other. Same dynamics.

Ah, I guess your neighbors/street noise must be much worse than mine, sorry to hear that :/

On the flipside, completely forget this for a year after you quit your second job and make bank on your tax return when you do finally remember
-me, this year, got $4k back 😌

I check once. If you are going 90-100MPH and I don’t see you when I am checking for normal speed traffic, not my problem. I have had these assholes pass me on a blind curve no passing zone and get pissed at me for flipping them off.
