Following, some friends do iMentor in NYC and chicago, but I haven't found a similar organization here.

Big brother big sister ATL is great. I joined looking to mentor a kid who didn’t have my opportunities or resources, and I got a 14 year old who’s 16 now and it’s been really fulfilling. Most of the kids are pretty young for me though

I’m on the high side of the BMI scale and really want to prioritize healthy movement. Not ready to formally go back to the gym or do fitness group classes inside (both from a covid mentality and feeling uncomfortable due to size). Started walking more and incorporating some cardio videos, thinking of getting a machine for my apartment (bike, elliptical, etc.)…any recommendations of best machine to incorporate or additional fitness ideas?

Anyone familiar with Covid Supplemental Paid Sick Leave in CA? Does having planned time off nullify a full time employee’s ability to use the C19 sick leave if they become sick just prior to the planned time off? (I’ve only been able to find references to eligibility being based off of hours work preceding C19 sick leave - nothing about planned time off)

Would love some gift suggestions for the husband. He’s been super amazing and I wanna get him something super nice for our 4th year anniversary. Can’t do vacays or experiences because of the Covid and new baby combination! Don’t know if it helps, but he enjoys fancy gifts, not into drinking or smoking or gaming!Trying to keep it under the $500 ish range if possible!(Fully aware that it won’t get me something super fancy)

Any suggestions? I’ll owe anyone that’ll help out! 😅
