Has the OP also won medals at the Olympics? Or competed as an elite athlete? If not… I hope she can sort out what’s wrong - clearly you wouldn’t abandon all that preparation for nothing. I’ve heard of athletes also having enough of elite sport and going back into normal life doing a normal job. The...
Jump to postI'm a 35 y/o in excellent health, I contracted Covid back in October after being careless with masking at a wedding (most of the wedding party contracted the virus as well).

Jump to postGood write up Doc! The next challenge will be convincing the Anti-Vaxers and Covid-19 deniers to get the vaxine. +1 on that.

Jump to postYou really never know with these things. I went to a wedding and was careless about my mask, and I contracted it, as did the groom and some of the wedding party. We all had symptoms within 3/4 days of the ceremony. The bride and the two friends I was staying with in a condo at the wedding did not co...
Jump to postQuick anecdote on Covid and some of its more surprising effects... I contracted it after attending a wedding just over a month ago (I know, dumb choice).

Jump to postGreat choice, QR offers a great product, flew them MIA-DOH-MCT back in March.

Jump to postI'm just saying don't ride right next to the lane line of the next lane then expect vehicles to be able to give you three feet. This is common sense.

Jump to postI worked hard for my Ferrari and other toys and don't appreciate some scumbag, that can not be identified, just riding off after knowingly causing damage. It would be fitting if a motorist just 'clipped' him, shrugged his shoulders, and drove off whilst he laid on the road. Karma. Again with the de...
Jump to postTo the guy above (not the waterpolo person) - never, ever ride close to the kerb. You’ll get yourself killed that way. Always ride further out from the edge of the road, that way if someone passes you too closely you have room to move. Years and years of experience here and hardly any hostile inter...

Jump to postThe Economy seats and ANA do not recline in the traditional sense, but slide forward in a fixed shell. I can't tell you with 100% certainty, but I would be very surprised if the last row was any different. So go ahead with the last row. Looking at photos, it appears you're right! That's good news. ...
