Just watched the episode where Numbnut Liz comes home after work. She opens the door, draws her wrapon, then sees Kate sitting there holding Agnes. Say WHAT? Who was watching the baby while she was at work? Did she leave her alone all day in a crib? This scene was unrealistic and ridiculous. What say the hive?
I cannot believe the writers put that horrible song "having my baby" in the episode. I hated that song when it hit the charts. Even at my young age I realized the folly of the lyrics. Romantizing the patriarchal notion that a woman shows her love of a man by having "HIS" baby. Let her do all the work while he pushes the agenda of spreading his seed. Now that I have lived longer I know having a baby is far from romance. Many women I know refer to their children as " MY" children. I wanted to barf when that song was played. Anyone else?
I am on season 2. Who else has a crush on Ressler? I think he is good looking, loyal, and supportive of Elizabeth Keen. He brings her birthday dinner, has her back on raids and shoot outs, even when she holds her ex husband hostage for four months. THAT was ridiculous. She is ridiculous. Ill take Ressler!
I am 69 and an athlete hanging on w a knee injury . I still lift heavy ( for me, I am small) , bike w high intensity and hike as best I can. All around me injectable peptides are being used. I hesitate. I do not want to willy nilly start injecting chemicals into my body w out a plan by a professional or knowing EXACTLY what the ingredients are. What about anyone else?
Hi all. I am researching indoor training set ups. My medial meniscus is giving me problems so I hesitate to get a regular trainer. I rode on the wahoo rollers with the front stand for 30 minutes. That felt comfortable but I do not know how my knees will feel riding longer and w more frequency. Has anyone used rocker plates to eliminate knee pain? If so what is your set up?
April 2024 I had a bike accident. It did something to me. I was depressed and anxious for 12 weeks, I received bad medical advice, and finally on my own figured out I needed PT. I have been diligently working at getting back since then and cannot get back to where I was. I have pain in my knees and feet. I still appear fine to others except MAYBE my husband who mostly seems clueless and annoyed with me, I was an athlete, not giving a thought to hiking up a mountain in Colorado, hammering out a bike ride going for a 6 mile walk. My legs worked just fine. Very little maintenance required.
Now, everything except work (which sustains me) feels like an ordeal. I no longer can be carefree and hop on a bike, go for a walk...etc. I used to feel strong now i feel like one false move and I will break. I feel my life is over. I seriously wish I could go to sleep and not wake up.
Communication with my husband is frustrating. He misunderstands so much. Today I told him I was tired from him waking me too early to tell me it was raining. He could not understand that just because I was tired did not mean I could sleep. I wish I coukd fall asleep anytime in 5 minutes like he can but I cannot. I think he would he better off without me. I do my best to ge a good wife but it is never good enough.
I am isolating more. If it were not for work I would spend my time alone going to the gym and relaxing. To look at me you would never know I am struggling.
Anyone else?
Hi Has anyone done a hike where they stay in the huts for a couple of nights then come down and stay in a hotel then go back up? Or is it better to just stay in better accommodations in the mountains? I do not want to carry a heavy pack so I need transport of luggage. I am an experienced day hiker having hiker 14ers in Colorado. am leaving from NY.
I need some form of cold and compression for my legs after working out. Has anyone used those compression cooling devices? If so, how do they cool and how cold do they get? Do you have a recc for which one to use?
Hi! I have been researching the wahoo products. Almost purchased the trainer but did not want to have to remove the rear wheel. Tried the rollers w the stand and bingo! It felt good! Anyone have experience w the rollers?
I have been wearing custom orthotics for my floppy feet since I was a teenager ( now 68 yrs old) . December 2025 plantar facitis kicked in due to complications from an injury April 2024. (I have been in PT since July 2024 for that) Since December my PT has had me working w out my orthotics, barefoot and barefoot shoes. Thete was no way I could wear my custom orthotics since December so I've been running around work etc w different OTC inserts. Yesterday, I walked trails and road 8 miles w my old custom orthotics. It did not feel good. Is it possible I dont need the stiff customs and can use the more flexible OTC? Has anyone else strengthened their lower chain and feet enough to ditch their customs?
