I like repackaging things nicely when i have to return something. After a few phone calls and many regular resets and restarts, I finally just ran my own diagnostics and narrowed down problem being the modem, not the router. This is only a 3-yo modem, but I'm going to have them exchange it. I really don't want to get a technician out. We had one come out only a couple years ago and he did a bunch of work. It worked great after that for a long while. Really nice guy who has been working for them for almost 30 years.
I don't return things often but when i do, you can expect a near-new looking packaging back. 😁🙌

Been suffering from plantar fasciitis? You've got to meet Lauren. I referred my friend to her, and she said "she cured it". She didn't even have to meet Lauren in person.
Who am I? And why do I care so much about helping women get rid of stubborn plantar fasciitis?
Hi, I’m Lauren, Functional Movement Specialist and Creator of the Retrain Foot Pain Method. I've helped hundreds of women recover from plantar fasciitis. I know firsthand how frustrating it is to deal with persistent plantar fasciitis that won’t go away no matter what you do.
Years ago, I struggled with chronic foot pain that made it hard to get out of bed in the morning, let alone stay active and continue running, which was a huge passion of mine. I also dealt with headaches, achilles pain, elbow tendonitis—you name it. I was a hot mess.
I saw the specialists for my plantar fasciitis, tried custom orthotics, bought all the shoes, did the stretches… and nothing worked long-term.
What finally changed everything?
Realizing that plantar fasciitis isn’t just a foot issue.
It’s a whole-body and nervous system issue. And healing means going deeper than the usual tips and tools.
That realization about persistent musculoskeletal pain—that the site is not the source—led me to shift my entire approach to movement and recovery. Now, it’s the foundation of how I help women heal.
If you're tired of chasing quick fixes and are ready for a new approach that addresses what’s really keeping you stuck, I’d love to share what I’ve learned.
I’m hosting a free live training TOMORROW to walk you through why your plantar fasciitis isn't going away and what to do instead.
It’s the same starting point that has helped many women return to activities like walking, hiking, playing pickleball, traveling, and living without foot pain.
Join me. It might just change everything.
Because when you understand what’s really going on, healing becomes possible.

If you are suffering from Lymphedema, Essentrics might be able to help you ease the swelling and pain. Amd here is why:
Obstracted lymphatic system must reply on additional support from other methods of drainage - gravity and muscles.
Essentrics workout often requires arms above head, which recruits gravity assisted drainage. Essentrics also repeats lengthening, relaxing, squeezing of the muscles - using muscles as pump of lymphatic system.
Pain comes from the stagnation of fluid not having a mechanism to flow through. With Essentrics, you manually guide tge fluid to move through and out of your arm(s).
Give Essentrics a try if you are seeking relief of Lympedema symptoms. It might be the answer you have been looking for.

When no one is around and you have an iconic backdrop, even with bad lighting, and no prep, spontaneous Essentrics filming could occur.😆
I'm too lazy to edit, or add music, so you will see me thinking 😆. I was humming the song I've been working with for a homework.

Essentrics anywhere!...but when you have leather workboots on....footwork felt too inhibited 😆 Thank you to Climate Pledge Arena for having the area so cleaned even the morning after Kraken game that I felt completely okay to get barefooted!

Essentrics® workout isn’t anything like what’s offered in current fitness industry. While the trend is still “No Gain, No Pain”, Miranda Esmonde-White, the creator of Esmonde Technique, which is the base of Essentrics®, teaches “No Pain, Ever”. Essentrics® workout is for everyone and anyone at ANY fitness level - from 0 to 10. A professional athlete and a chronic pain patient can participate in a same class by adjusting the intensity to their ability of the day, yet they both receive health benefits. Why? Because regardless your age or fitness level, your body needs the same thing: balanced body, good posture, muscles that are strong AND flexible.
My first introduction to Essentrics® was winter of 2014 when I watched a program called Aging Backwards (now called Age Reversed) on PBS. What Miranda was saying made complete sense to me. I thought this is EXACTLY what I have been looking for! I donated to PBS to receive the gift package of DVDs of Aging Backwards. But just like many things I did, it just got thrown in a junk drawer and stayed there, with plastic wrap still in tact.
Fast forward to spring of 2017, I found the DVDs when I was in a process of cleaning out clutter after being inspired by a book called “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up”. Decluttering had afforded me extra space I could do the workout, so I thought I would finally open it up and do a workout. I had turned 40 since I bought DVD, and I was experiencing lack of energy, back pain, slow getting up, pain during chores. Joints were achy and my upper back was really tight, mostly blamed on my 8-5 desk job. When I watched Biggest Looser contestants being evaluated of their health in age, I muttered to myself that I would probably be given upper 70s.
I felt completely out of shape and was afraid of injuring myself from any strenuous work, so I chose a 30-minute “Pain Relief” workout. The workout incorporated breathing with movements, and most movements were simple like sweeping the arm front to back in a very slow and controlled movement. I laughed at myself at one point because I believed the program was meant for people with chronic pain, frozen shoulders, surgery/injury recovery...people with medical conditions. My condition was extreme lack of activity. Movements were so slow and simple and it was almost ridiculous how slow I was moving. I had never done slow exercise before. BUT I liked how slow it was and how easy it was. Because I had no clue where I was as far as fitness level goes, I felt safe and not afraid when moving slowly. Some slow movements turned out to be quite challenging and I had to take many breaks for my muscles....
30 minutes workout, including barre workout using a chair, was over. I was experiencing humming of my entire body, head to toe, literally. It was really odd sensation, and I wasn’t sure what to make of it. I was not out of breath - not because I was in a better health than I thought but because it was non-cardio. I felt encouraged and determined to do this everyday - because I felt like I could! When I was walking away from my new exercise spot in my freshly decluttered home, I noticed that pain I had in the hip where my right leg and hip connects that made me limp to walk, was gone. I was blown away.
For the next 30 days, I did it every day. Before this I would get up 15 minutes before I left for work. To do Essentrics® workout I got up at 6:00am and worked out in my pajamas. I looked forward to my daily morning Essentrics workout because it made me feel like I was regaining health back. It truly felt like I was aging backwards! I was becoming more flexible, too. For my entire life, I had never been able to touch my toes, even when I was little. Only 30 days of this slow exercise, I was touching my toes and still gaining more flexibility.
When I was trying to find some web links to send to my co-workers to share what Essentrics® workout is, I found their certification program. I signed up right away. I had never taught anything. But I didn’t even thing twice. I felt very strongly that I needed to share this great program with everyone and everyone should try it at least once in their life.
I consider Essentrics® as a non-discriminating fitness program. People who really need to exercise are not good candidates for popular workout programs offered. They try to find what they can do, but they often settle with programs that are not best suited to achieve their goal, sometimes causing even more damage. Healthy people can also do maintenance work so that they can enjoy their active life as long as possible. Essentrics® can help counter joint-compressing activities like running and weight lifting and most of other activities so that you don’t need to prematurely retire from what you love to do.
Essentrics® seems like it’s going totally against the current trend of extremeness. It’s not flashy, shocking, or daring. It’s just common sense backed by science.
