Any pranks that involve a mess need the cleanup to be led by the prankster, if not solely done by them.

Lots of good advice already on stretching, yoga, walking etc but also if you are anything like me and have to sit at your desk for long hours consider investing in a really good chair, it changed everything for me upgrading from a random 50€ chair to something in the 300-400 range (still going strong after 8 years)

oh yeah I forgot how much this group skews American

What phone do you use? That hasn’t happend to me since 2008, personally.

If you take your kids seriously you'll be straight-forward with them. Life is not the collection of rainbows and butterflies that kids think it is and the sooner they learn this, the more resilient they will become towards the many difficulties of life.

The tip here is not to forget that taxis are an option. Taxis have published rates, whereas Uber and Lyft raise prices during peak times. Therefore, a taxi can be less expensive or more expensive and it's on the consumer to evaluate the costs and compare.

Physical therapists call this, "The McKenzie Method", it's kind of a big deal.

One very important help is actually knowing what the problem is. I got an MRI (a pain in itself, thanks UHC!) and the doc saw my scoliosis and prescribed a lift in my left shoe. I also maintain core strength and do a lot of stretching. If I get pain, I stop what I'm doing immediately and rest, alternate heat and ice every 15 minutes and take 4 ibuprofen every 4 hours.

Found a lot more relief from heat pads instead of ice packs. Heating pad from Amazon at home and those charcoal activated disposable heat pads when out. I had been listening to all the nonsense about icing muscles (with little relief) until I bought a car with a seat warmer and realized instantly that my back felt better after the heat.

Stand more then sit- hamstring stretches, EASY on weights. I would not start with weights until you are out of pain. You can start building core muscles right away by simply contracting your abs while standing- multiple times a day. Contract the muscles for 10 seconds, release. Build up to longer times. Continue heat and I also took ibuprofen when at my worst.

Sitting is the worst, stay active as much as possible, but within reason. Always listen to your body. Weight loss helps if you are overweight. I was pregnant 6 times- had many lower back issues, including sciatica. Now I rarely have pain.

Boys are grown now, and great men. It was worth it! Lol

Also, Firefly is not coming back for a season 2, no product announced tomorrow is real, and generally be skeptical of anything you see on the internet that seems too good to be true (anytime, but especially April 1st).

I assume this is when meeting people for dating. In that case, I care what the person does for a living because I want someone similarly situated in life.

…how did you get them on the counter without spilling them?

I've never met another person (in person) but have met quite a few people who know another person born on April fools!

Hope you have an awesome bday!

I just gave an additional tip about things that aren't funny. :)

Did you know you don't even HAVE to use paste? Now you know. 🙂

Alternatively, I flew to Austin, TX recently, and a taxi was twice the cost of an Uber. So definitely not a hard and fast rule.

Basically, yeah. The gen z and younger grew up with technology that was already developed and generally didn't need troubleshooting to get to work. The age of apps. You click, and it goes. If it doesn't, there's nothing you can really do about it. Where millennials grew up during the transition into the current technology we have. We had to learn on the more basic setups and make sure things were configured properly. We had to learn by necessity.

Depends on the country. In Poland it's opposite - the regular taxis, especially from airport, are the most expensive option.

Go get it checked out by a spine specialist! If it persists, GO BACK! My back pain wound up being a SEVERELY HERNIATED DISC, which was impinging on my spinal cord! That pain became so bad... It was indescribable. After I got home, my insurance company called and wanted to know if I was capable of walking... at all!

Stretch way more and do abdominal workouts

Look into Radio Frequency Ablation. See if your facet joints are affected. I got injured in 2009, L2-L5 bilateral. Gained over 100 pounds and was absolutely an inch away from giving up until I had my First Radio Frequency Ablation and turned it all around.

It's not perfect and it needs repeated, but the alternative is not an option. It's done outpatient at the hospital, noninvasive.

I lost all the weight I gained and a little bit more, and I've kept it off for 7 years. I was able to complete a physical transition because of the weight loss as a direct result of the RFAs. It changed my life.

Put off surgery as long as you absolutely can because you are never as strong afterward.
