I learned it’s still a thing. The people with the “breathing house” in the UK that harvests its own water found they had to replace the piping more often than anticipated due to the acidity of the rain

I did one summer of IRL rowing 17 years ago so I can say Hydrow’s instruction on form and pointers for how to improve your stroke strength really good. My husband’s form cleaned up and he looked like a real tower after just a couple of their intro classes. Also, the instructors are all personable and really do make me…

I work way harder with an instructor than without. I have a rowing machine similar in concept to Peloton (Hydrow)and find I actually chuckle at the instructor’s banter in the middle of a grueling workout and at the same time am encouraged to push myself harder

I FUCKING LOVE MY HYDROW! Good for you and have fun!

Me tooooooooooo! Super performance he gave!

I appreciate his take on the experience. I hope he doesn’t lose work for being honest. It doesn’t sound like sour grapes or whining. It’s a nuanced perspective and a conversation that needs to be had.

That boiled it down. Painful and succinct 

I snickered. Thanks

Quarantining at home with COVID and had a breakdown today. I have a great husband and kid, a challenging job to return to, and have very few symptoms. But I am an extrovert and lifelong depressive. My best coping mechanisms are to go to work and fake it till I make it, then coast on that momentum in my personal life.…

“...THAT DOESN’T MEAN THAT A LESS QUALIFIED MAN SHOULD HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT IT INSTEAD OF WARREN”!

I’ve been watching his MasterClass and totally love him now. I, a slothful person, dream of having an ounce of his manic energy though. He cannot stay still. Always bobbing on his toes or something. But when he recounts going into debt to work in French kitchens and cooking for himself on a hot plate, I know we have…

“From January to June 2017, athenahealth surveyed 18,000 physicians at 3,500 practices on its network, and determined that more than 60 percent of physicians under the age of 35 are female, while just under 40 percent are male” (https://www.athenahealth.com/knowledge-hub/practice-management/healthcare-future-female).

I am sorry the author is going through all that right now and amazed by her husband stepping up so well, especially given his own and the kids’ illnesses.

I recently spent a lot of money on the Hydrow which just came out last year. It’s the Peloton of ergometers with a large screen mounted just beyond the handles. There are competitive rowers that are actually on the water leading your home exercise class. The way they film it, you are facing the instructor so you can…

I am so, so sorry.

My husband and I got married in 2012. At the time, were so broke it was painful (the wedding had cost all of $6,000). A college friend had a flimsy reason for not attending the wedding, but invited herself over a couple months afterwards.

What a violation and nightmare.  Those suspensions are a joke.

You’re right that group therapy is wholly different than, say, a public interview. Perhaps you’re correct that being so vulnerable in public is unwise, since it’s certainly earned him some snark here at this blog. From my perspective, however, such a well-known celebrity normalizing some of these coping mechanisms and…

That’s a dick thing to say since talking to your future self is very much a real part of recovery group therapy. It’s not easy to get your tenses right on the fly. He made a hash of his life and he’s making an honest attempt to figure it out. Even with his resources, it’s never easy.  

I really enjoyed this piece.
