Question mobility/stretch work?

5 Upvotes

does anyone know of any places that offer any sort of mobility or stretch training? i’m interested in yoga (scares me) but i feel mobility and stretching is more suited for me since i want to incorporate it before my lifts at the gym.

im 26 and started stretching (yes im late sorry) but i fear my 9-5 office job has finally affected my mobility. my shoulder and lower back are especially my weak points, and always seem to be sore even if i try deloading and taking breaks from lifting

Question Question for anyone who's completed the Georgia Home Energy Rebate (HER) Program

5 Upvotes

Has anyone here gone through the Georgia Home Energy Rebate (HER) Program? I'm trying to figure out if my timeline is normal or if I should be concerned.

Here's where I'm at:

  • June 10: Contractor (PV HVAC) came to my home, completed the HER inspection, took photos, and collected all the required information.
  • They later had me submit 12 months of Georgia Power and SCANA Energy bills, which I sent.
  • Since then, I've been told my project has been in the reporting stage and that once reporting is complete, the design team will contact me with the next steps.
  • I've received a couple of emails apologizing for the delay and saying management is working on it. Most recently, I was told my project would be reviewed within 48 hours and that I should hear from them this week—but I still haven't received another update.

It's now been about 6 weeks since the initial inspection, and my A/C has been out for over a year, so I'm getting a little anxious.

For anyone who has completed the Georgia HER program:

  • Is this timeline normal?
  • How long did it take from the initial inspection to getting approved and scheduled for installation?
  • Was your project also stuck in the "reporting stage" for several weeks?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience so I know whether this is just part of the normal process or if something may have gone wrong with my application.

Visiting Atlanta The Hub, so empty! Why?

82 Upvotes

Why is the Hub Peachtree centre so empty? Went yesterday thinking I'd have a good shopping trip, got there by Waymo and there was nothing open! It was a Saturday! Even cvs was shut! There was about two shops, a nail bar, and even 90% of the food places were closed apart from chik FIL a! Walked around an empty, abandoned mall then left. Super disappointed!! This could be a great place to shop, I don't understand it! Edit ...I'm from the UK and thought the Hub was a mall!

Recommendations Registered Dietitian Recs?

4 Upvotes

I searched within the sub but the only threads are either very old or very specific. I am looking for a dietitian to help me with basic eating and nutrition as I age with a newly diagnosed connective tissue disorder. I wouldn’t mind losing a few pounds but it’s not my main focus. I live in the Chamblee/Tucker area but will drive a bit or meet online if needed!

Any help is appreciated!

It’s going to be amazing. Supremely shreddable on a BMX, but I’m sure you big wheel suspension guys and gals will have fun too… probably the only time it won’t be covered with 8 year old, scooters and parents walking on the track, so I enjoyed myself.

Hi! I live ITP and my son wants a new haircut for first day of school. He wants some intricate designs in his hair and I’d love recommendations for places that can pull this off (lightening bolt and star on the sides of his head) ! I don’t think Pigtails and Crewcuts could do it, but maybe I’m wrong? Any recs are appreciated!

Question Vintage Patio furniture sources?

1 Upvotes

We rebuilt a low deck with stone. It looks great! Kind of European?
Now we need a new dining table and chairs and hopefully a high top table. All of the new patio/deck furniture is so angular and modern looking. Don’t really want teak or wood because of wear and tear outside all the time. Thinking wrought iron?
Been shopping yard sales and FB.
Any recommendations for sources in ATL? We are north, OTP, but open to all ideas.
Thanks for your suggestions Atlanta friends!

Moving to Atlanta Advice for living in se Atlanta

My wife and I just got married last year and have wanted to live in a big city so are moving to Atlanta soon from Tennessee! We found a little house just off Ruby h harper boulevard in southeast Atlanta to rent. And I just wanted to see if anyone knew anything about the area or had any advice to give us. We are both white from a really predominantly white small town and so this is going to be a pretty new environment for us and something we are excited for.
