Nicolette, the measurements the piercer gave me were 1/4 teaspoon of noniodized sea salt with warm (but not uncomfortably hot!) water with 1/2 cup of water. I cut it in half and estimated about 1/8 teaspoon with 1/4 cup of water so I could pour it into a shot glass 🙂

My boyfriend was pretty unsure about it at first, until I showed him a video of Jenyne (same video I showed to my mom, actually) and it was an instant change of mindset. My boyfriend is incredibly supportive of me poling and shares in my excitement when I finally get a new move. I think if your man isn't going to let go of his hang ups in support what makes you happy, then you'll probably feel uncomfortable discussing / obsessing about (LOL!) pole around him and that really doesn't make for a good close realtionship, in my opinion.
Hopefully this is not the case, but if it is it only means there is someone out there who will appreciate the multi-dimensional sport pole is and at least love what makes you happy! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif best of luck! Everything will work out as it is supposed to!

That's a good point, Veena. And perhaps it's too much to expect a pole to be perfectly straight.
Should I be concerned that it doesn't spin smoothly though, even when it's not overtightened?
-
Only reason I am a little concerned about it is because I could've sworn when I put it up it was wobbling as it if it were slightly bowed, and when I put it on spin mode it was not spinning as smoothly as it should have been. However, I know it wasn't tightened because it slipped while I was on it (so glad it didn't fall down, but it still startled me!!)
Hopefully I'll get my pole up again tomorrow afternoon and I can double-check this. I hope it's not actually bowed (though I don't think my eyes were lying to me…) because I feel really silly for contacting X-Pole about this pole so many times. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

That’s another thing I worry about. If my pole starts bowing someday I feel like X-Pole will just say it’s from improper use…
sensual, did you contact X-Pole about it? If so, what did they say? And can you still use the warped pole? -
I was literally JUST thinking that; both of the X-Poles I’ve purchased now have been defective! That’s definitely saying something.
X-Pole has fantastic customer service, but if they’re constantly having to send out parts to replace inadequate ones then they’re losing money and customer confidence. I will definitely mention this to the customer service rep I’ve been emailing. -
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif Omg really??? I'm sorry that happened! I'll admit I'm kind of embarassed and feel bad that I didn't know…
I never used the 125mm extension, just the 500mm because my ceilings are 9' 1". I'm starting to wonder how common of an issue this is now…
I did end up emailing X-Pole tech support about my adapter not fitting in the extension, and they said they would send replacements and try fitting them together prior to sending them so hopefully that will take care of this issue. I wonder if they'd be able to offer some advice to you regarding this issue as well; maybe they'll notice it's a recurring issue and look into it?

WOW some of those video clips were actually kind of frightening haha that's my biggest pole fear, is that my pole will come crashing down and break something (or break me!)

I used to pull my hamstring a lot from figure skating (I rather enjoy doing splits on the ice haha it looks cool). It takes quite a while to heal, unfortunately. I would think the best way to avoid them, like all stretches, is to be properly warmed up!!
I wish you a speedy recovery! I understand how hard/frustrating it can be to have to rest, but do take it easy until the muscle heals up. And don't give up on the splits! 🙂

X-Pole's assembly video is extremely helpful with the setup, and once you get the hang of it it's really not a big deal. I disassemble my pole completely every time I use it and last time I set it up I looked at the clock and it took about 6 minutes. (Sometimes I get lucky with getting it level and it's really quick, sometimes it takes a couple minutes of adjusting to get it leveled).

Omg Giedre, I must say good for you for taking a stand and planning to move out! I know it’s horrible to just up and leave one day, but your mother’s behavior is completely out of line and if you wait for permission you will probably be there forever just going crazy.
I can’t say my parents are that extreme, but I certainly see some similarities in their — particularly my mother’s — irrational behavior. For example, I recently told my mother I may spend the weekend at my best friend’s (whom she and I have known for 8 years) cabin and she absolutely forbid it because she had gotten it into her head that I was really going to a hotel with my boyfriend for the weekend. Totally out of the blue!! I also have been talking to other guys recently, just chatting as friends (I work with almost all men, so naturally I’m going to talk to them), and even though I know she doesn’t like my boyfriend because his parents don’t have much money and he’s too short and “chubby” by her standards, she (and my dad too) now thinks I’m an easy girl who’s desperare for attention and cheating on my boyfriend. Again, all of these ideas she came up with on her own!
I’m getting long-winded here but I just wanted to say good for you for finding a way out of their grasp. As unfortunate as it is, they really don’t seem to be giving you any other choice! Whether they like it or not, I too plan on moving out when I finish school in two years so I can go to grad school out of state. They absolutely hate the idea of me moving out and think the idea of going to a non-local school is stupid but I seriously need to live my own life as the responsible, level-headed woman they raised me to be — a fact they don’t seem to understand.
Again, sorry for this long post! Haha 🙂 -
Photo privacy settings can be changed at the individual album, not privacy settings. They changed that too…

Wait was it your picture that was stolen?? I kind of feel your pain, since one time I met a guy at a bus stop who found me on Facebook and shared my profile picture on his profile. So damn creepy!
-
The link didn't work for me but imagine if you saw someone else with your own photo! How creepy would that be!?

Adding on one more thing (sorry!)…I agree that if you push too hard, it will have an effect opposite of your intent. I think if your daughter is the smart capable young woman you know her to be, she will figure it out! This is all just part of the growing-up process. Especially if her friends aren't crazy about her boyfriend, that may help her along as well; teenagers highly value their friends' approval.
Just gotta have some faith in her! 🙂
