Looking to build a fence to enclose our property, but I’m having a lot of trouble locating any fence posts, terminal or support 8-10’ tall.

We’re looking to build a 5ft fence and 3ft of the pole needs to be below grade. All I can find is poles from Home Depot and those are only 7.5 feet, after putting below grade that only brings us to 4.5ft.

Any recommendations are welcome.

Edit: height wanted is to be compliant with by-law when we decide to put a pool in

Hi everyone!

I’m a 27F, 5’4, and 296 pounds. My goal weight is 160 within the next 10-12 months and I’m wondering if that’s at all possible, and my short term goal is 75 pounds in 5-6 months.

I currently am on vyvanse which really helps curb my appetite and focus on other things besides my impulses.

Exercise: strength training 2x a week, 60 minute walks 5 days a week, and playing volleyball 7 hours a week at rec level, but will change to only 1 hour a week beginning October.

Work: not working, but in school for my BScN so will be on my feet 8 hours, one day a week for placement.

Meals: high protein breakfast, low carb, doing 16:8 intermittent fasting.

The only missing piece is figuring out what my calorie deficit should be and if my timeline is realistic.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I recently got upped to 40mg/day and I’ve noticed that I have not been binge eating, but I’m also letting all my groceries go to waste as a result. I’m currently 5’5 and 293 pounds and my doctor wants me to drop down to under 200 as I’m diabetic. Has anyone had success with not only doing a calorie deficit, but also intermittent fasting and dropping mostly weight but not muscle mass? I play volleyball 2-4 times a week and I got a gym membership hoping that with strength training I can have a healthy weight loss.

My plan is: 1,000-1,200 calories a day high protein, 16:8 fasting, and strength training 3-4 times a week.

With this, how do you remember to eat?

Thanks everyone :)

Hi everyone!!

Has anyone been able to find a target location that carries sizes beyond xxl in store? I’m specifically looking for wild and fable clothing but every store near me seems to only carry up to xxl and it’s disappointing! I’m in the Niagara Falls, NY area

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

Im getting really annoyed with this game as I find that every time I am about to beat a hard level the game crashes like I wasn’t supposed to be able to beat it in one go with no boosters. I have screenshots of the freezing but I don’t know if it’ll do much.

Anyone have any success getting some kind of offer as an apology?

Thank you

Hi everybody,

I’m currently interested in buying an above ground pool for next year, upgrading from a small 10ft pool from Walmart. Our city bylaws state that the pool needs to be enclosed by a fence with a self-latching gate, so I’m exploring options and what would be the best, most cost effective way to be able to build this set up. It has to be at least 4 ft tall and I’m preferably looking for something that is non permanent and can just be put in the ground with spikes or pre built fences as I don’t want to have to get a building or zoning permit. I’ve seen the mesh fences and that’s all I’ve really come across. I’m looking for more ways to have this done if possible that I may not have come across yet.

If it helps I live in Ontario, Canada.

Thank you :)

Hi everyone,

My 57 year old father is currently listed for a transplant but is dealing with a lot of complications. One that we can’t seem to navigate is 80% of the time he cannot hold food down- he takes a few bites and it’s right to the toilet to throw it up. We’re concerned about this due to his muscle wasting, energy, potential stomach (again) and esophageal varicies, and just wanting him to feel a little normal. Has anyone had success with overcoming this whole waiting for a transplant?

Thanks :)

Hi everybody,

Tonight I came back to my car and there was a note on the windshield accusing me of hitting their car with an incident number. I called the non-emergency line and it was legit.

There is a security camera in the parking lot and I’m assuming that’s how they tried to accuse me because I parked in a few spots because the first spot had a puddle right outside the door, and then the spot where I apparently hit someone the car that accused me (confirmed with non-emergency agent) was parked too far in and I couldn’t get all the way in and I have a truck so I was sticking out a lot. I got out and realized I was too close and sticking out too much so once again I moved and I did look to make sure I didn’t hit them and I didn’t see anything at all on their car. I then moved the truck and when I came back I saw the note.

There is absolutely no new damage on my truck but the hitch is the only thing that could have hit them but there’s no sign of paint and there was nothing on their car, plus I would have felt it.

I’m going to the collision centre tomorrow but I’m afraid I’m being taken for insurance fraud. I was also parked there for over an hour.

Any advice would be appreciated

(Update: I went to the collision centre and the lady told me that the person who claims I hit their car didn’t say or provide anything saying how they know) This was reported outside of our collisions centres hours, but is this normal?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to find a dentist in the area or further in Niagara Falls that offers payments plans that don’t require you to finance through a third party, if that’s even a thing.

I need a lot of work done (4 wisdom teeth removals, 4 fillings, and 1 root canal) and I do not qualify for CDCP as I have private insurance but it’s to a max of $1,500 and It only covers 50% of all the procedures I need.

Thank you 🙏

Hi everyone,

I was looking at booking classes and I found one to try out and it let me book it, but then I saw that other classes like Hot yoga, Hyrox(?), Regymn are all not included unless you had the top membership. When I saw that, I also saw that my basic membership doesn’t include group fitness (what I booked), but it still allowed me to book it. I’m now wondering if they’ll deny me when I go to check in for the class even thought it allowed me to book it. I tried to book hot yoga too to see if it’s just a system error but it didn’t allow me to book hot yoga.

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone,

Besides being diagnosed with ADHD, I also have BED and It seems my ADHD symptoms have become much better on 30mg, but my binge eating is becoming a problem again and it’s triggering my Bulimia. I started 30mg in January and it was fine while I was in school (BScN) but then it stopped working maybe two months into my semester for BED but I was still able to study really well and get good grades. With that though, my binge eating has been very bad and I’m gaining weight very noticeably. School is very stressful for me as I not only am in a very hard program, but I have an extremely sick father that’s in and out of the hospital waiting for a transplant of his liver. I don’t know if my doctor would consider upping my dose because the binge eating only happens during high stress which has been 24/7 for me because of my dad and all I do is worry about him, stay up crying, researching until I can’t think anymore. I just don’t know where to go from here or where I can get help for this. I can’t afford therapy and I don’t know where I go from here to get better. If there is something I want to eat, I go and eat until I feel sick.

I’m sorry if this is all over the place or doesn’t make sense, I’m just dumping all my thoughts out.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking into getting a gym coach as I have no idea what I’m doing, and want to use my time effectively while at the gym.

If you had a coach/trainer, where did you find them? I go to GoodLife but I’m a student and cannot afford $75 a session unfortunately.

My only other idea was spreading out two paid training session and just using what they taught me in future sessions by myself.

Thank you!

My dad has had many hospital stays to stabilize blood pressure, do drainings (4 now since last August but now refractory so it’s become more frequent), one episode of HE. Today I brought him to a new hospital as he has been getting terrible care and Bandaid solutions to his problems. I cried when I talked to my dad’s doctor because of the vast difference of care, and him acknowledging how bad the previous care has been. For example, he was sent home and forced out of the ER by an ER doctor who said that he barely does drainings and he should go to a GI doctor to do it and scared my dad so much my dad didn’t want him to do it and my dad had to return anyways to get it done, he hasn’t been able to get into the GI or Hepatologist almost a year after first hospitalization. The Hepatologist my dad was referred to never got back to him even after 3 ER doctors and our family doctor kept referring him, and the decided to try and get him into a GI doctor and the first appointment available was may 15th and that was booked in January.

My dads ER doctor and the doctor he has on the medical floor told me my dad is a “top tier candidate” given he has no other co-morbidities, doesn’t drink, and has his whole family at home.

I cried when he told me today that he is going to make sure the liver transplant referral is done during this hospitalization. I’m so relieved, even though I know there’s a long road ahead.

(I forgot to add his current hospitalization is because he needed to get drained and the pressure made my dad puke up everything he ate and drank. This causes a broken blood vessel (confirmed with endoscopy to be benign and not varices) and he probably has lower GI tract bleeding so his hemoglobin is low, and he was taking metformin and that was causing high lactate levels and he has been taken off and it fixed itself. He is now being stabilized for parenthesis and colonoscopy to confirm GI bleeding)
