Non-Slip Surface

I have a yoga mat underneath an area rug in my living room - it's useful for subtle feedback when getting close to the boundary zone while in a VR game without the immersion-breaking Fence appearing in the game. Marigold can always do something like that if she decides to play a VR game for her audience. And it means that my exercise spot is always out and available to use, without being a tripping hazard.
That's a great idea! Thanks for posting it!
lol I love Dale
It occurs to me that both Marigold and Hannelore are very ... prosperous. Marigold has a big income, and Hannelore is just rich. I'm pretty sure her dad would just hand her millions if he had the faintest idea she wanted money. The gift is literally just a gesture, of no economic significance to either one.
Soooooo much unneeded and even less wanted advice! The last thing she needs is an effing audience!!!!!!!
That's what Freecycle's for, Marigold. To remove the reminders.
Who needsFreecycle? These days out it on the sidewalk with a "Free" sign
For me, personally, the more I spend on an activity, the less likely I am to successfully pursue it. Then, like Marigold, every time I see the objects associated with the "failed" endeavor, I feel a twinge of regret and shame.
Well, good news for Marigold, then: she spent nothing on this.
There are an awful lot of my favourite characters in that last panel.
Where's Emily with her prototype adaptive fit yoga tights that won't turn sheer when you stretch?
Just make them out of neoprene. No see through. (Or breath through though....)
I love that Hannelore colour cordinated her top with the mats
Fact: Yoga mats are 6 x 3. This means you can cut one in half and have two non-slip mats of exactly the correct size to play the X-wing miniatures game (in which it is very important to keep the miniatures from accidentally sliding around). Because yoga mats are so much cheaper than the mats sold specifically to play the game on, for a while when the game was new, Amazon's "You might also like" suggestion for yoga mats was X-wing miniatures.
With this attitude toward *potential* failure, how did Marigold ever, ever, EVER, try something she hadn't done before? Like, streaming for the first time, or even playing a game with other people around to see her?
Well streaming she gets to hide behind an avatar which probably helps and I bet its the only thing she thinks she is good at.
I expect the blocks and straps could be useful for better positioning though.
Hanners the Phobic went away and returned as Hanners the Wise.
Marigold, yoga mats are dirt cheap and Hanners is just being thoughtful! Don't read too much into it!
THE FRICTION BURNS ARE THE BEST PART!
no pain, no gain?
Things to not have sex on: Yoga mat, bare mattress, shag carpet, concrete, airport conveyor belt, wood chipper intake, canoe.
Nah, the wood chipper is great! It adds to the sense of danger by being actively dangerous!
From personal experience, you can definitely use it without getting friction burns. The key is expecting no slip
I imagine the lack of slip could even be beneficial in certain positions? Doggy style, for example, could benefit from limbs not slipping around?
Dale knows what's important. I can also recommend not having sex on a bare mattress with no sheets. Or um so I've heard.
Slip n slide or Velcro, no inbetween
I have so many yoga mats and I've never used them for yoga. Or for sex, that just seems like a bad idea.
Not nearly enough padding!
Just a heads-up: that's good advice. VERY good advice.
Now at least she will be guilted into trying out yoga long enough to be sure that she hates it. Too easy to just do 1 or 2 sessions, be sore and give up.
Just write "Burger Oni" on it and sell it!
'May, here's 500 yoga mats and a Sharpie. Get started.'
I would like to see a Dale-centric storyline at some point. He's a good dude.
With all the build-up I now have my fingers crossed that it's going to turn out Marigold actually *loves* yoga
Turns out that being super bendy is her secret super power.
***ow***
Team Hanners/Team Marbear..Assemble!
First thing I think is, yeah, I need another one of those so I can put my workbench on it. That way it won't slip when I'm .... planing.
Sure Jeph. We believe you.
So is it worse than carpet burns?
I've been told it's quite a bit worse. But I'd personally think it would depend on the carpet. I've personally skinned a knee on a yoga mat, but that was doing yoga at home in my shorts rather than doing it in sweats. On the one hand, that wasn't much more painful than the one carpet burn I managed to get. On the other hand, getting the carpet burn happened at a much greater speed and level of force (I was carrying a heavy load and tripped - but somehow kept from spilling my load so all that extra weight was on my knee when it hit, too.)
Hmm, so does the mat have that kung-fu grip?
Uh huh, I'm sure... XD
A yoga class, but for fuckin'
You know, a certain website that's a Hub has a few videos about that.
GDI May
Is this... also from personal experience? Edit: for once I failed to read the subtext :(
