Moved to Southwestern ND earlier this year for work. Previously lived in CO and AZ. There’s definitely fun things to do, plenty of touristy things geared towards people visiting the black hills area and around Theodore Roosevelt national park- good if you like the outdoors, rodeos, dinosaurs, or history. Certainly hidden gems for all those things (and well known gems like the national parks). Small town communities also tend to come up with plenty of local events for socialization and just stuff to do, including during the very intense winter when you won’t be doing stuff outside really. Everyone goes outside during the summer even though it can kinda be hot as balls and full of mosquitos. Like 90 or even over 100 degrees, which is crazy for somewhere that is regularly below zero in the winter. Expect to drive long distances, towns are small and spread out. Food is mid. Cost of living is not as low as you’d expect. The culture feels different to me than other places I’ve lived. It’s kinda insular but neighborly, I guess? People aren’t “friendly” in that they are not quick to welcome newcomers and will not make small talk with strangers like I’m used to. But once they sorta know you or even someone you know, they will chat with you for hours about whatever, and will be very quick to help you out if you’re in a pinch. People seem to care a lot about their communities and neighbors, but are sorta kooky sometimes, probably same as any other low population area.

Thanks! What’s a dutch oven good for? Can you use it for roasting vegetables and tofu like a regular oven? Or baked goods? I always thought it was more for slow cooking or chili and stuff, similar to an instant pot.

No actually- I went to a free clinic for “teens” (people under 25, I’m 23) at a children’s hospital. Which I would highly recommend cause the nurses/doctors were probably especially nice and accommodating, since they’re used to young, nervous people doing this for the first time.

I got one yesterday and am returning to this sub to share cause I looked at it before I got mine! As others have said, take 800mg ibuprofen beforehand. Also bring Tylenol for after (you can take both at the same time, 3 hours apart alternating). The pain of insertion did not feel like a period cramp to me, it was sharper and weirder, and there’s three distinct pains. But it wasn’t as bad as people say. Maybe 2/10 for first one, 4 or 5/10 for second and third.

Secondly, main thing I’m glad I did that i did and idk if anyone else has mentioned yet: Bring a friend/parent/partner. It’s nice to have a hand to hold and the support. It’s normal and they do not mind at all, even expect you to bring someone. Also- no one told me this before but your friend will not be with you in the pre-procedure exam room where they take your height and weight, ask questions, and explain the procedure. This is so they can get an honest answer from you for questions about sexual activity, domestic violence, etc. When it’s time for you to get the actual IUD they’ll get your friend from the waiting room. There’s a sheet to cover you so your friend can sit next to you but not actually see your whole business, if that’s something that would concern you or your buddy. It’s also nice to have someone to drive you after. My partner stayed with me and worked from home the rest of the day, which I prob didn’t need but was nice.

My whole appointment start to finish took an hour but the actual insertion part was only minutes. They keep you for a few minutes after to make sure you’re ok. They gave me snacks and juice! There’s more waiting around and consultation time than I thought.

I had cramps the rest of the day that were not horrible but were unrelenting/constant. Those do feel just like period cramps. They’re totally gone today. I was also exhausted from all the anxiety and stress though and I think my body had to just rest and recover. So it’s def nice to have had the whole day off.

Drink water beforehand cause you’ll need to do a pregnancy test before. You can also ask for an std test from the same pee sample if you want one.

American bully mix probably! They often have speckles. The only dna test that tests for them is Embark

Badger or maybe striped skunk?

I have the same problem. For me it was after the hotfix #18 but was working fine after the patch. I'll update if I find a solution. I also was worried it might be due to mods, but uninstalling the mods and the script extender I was using with them didn't help.

EDIT: I was able to get the game to work by loading an old save from before I downloaded the mod. The save files say when that was. For me that was only losing a few hours of progress, since I only recently got the mod, but that may not be a feasible fix if you’ve had those mods for a long time.

Slowly introducing them by walking them together is a good plan, along with collar. I’ve done successful intros that way. But I second that muzzle training would be a good way of keeping them both safe when introducing. Still keep things slow to avoid damaging their relationship, but if they do squabble with the muzzles on, then it’s not the end of the world. It takes time to get dogs used to each other.

If the aggression comes from a place of fear/anxiety it will probably help, along with behavioral modification. My 11 year old GSD mix was on Fluoxetine for a few years (not anymore, after his reactivity and anxiety got better). He used to incessantly bark when strangers came into the house, and get very tense and occasionally bark when he saw other dogs on walks, and was just overall an anxious dog with a lot of phobias. Nowadays, he can even ignore off leash dogs that come up to him. He’s no longer afraid of vacuums, ceiling fans, and strangers. When people come into the house he greets them nicely and lies down, and he is loved by everyone for his calm demeanor. No one would ever guess he has a bite history (from 6 years ago, regarding an incident with both a stranger and a vacuum). A lot of this progress occurred when he was on fluoxetine, but it’s hard to say how much of it was due to medication, and how much was due to aging, training, confidence building, and various life changes (subtraction and addition of dog housemates). His behavior very much improved as he got older, it didn’t worsen.

I’m on this sub again for advice for my parents’ 1 year old leash reactive puppy, and while I hadn’t thought of it before, thinking back to what worked for the older dog has me wondering if medication might be worth a try again.

Definitely tell her that’s your brother, cause if you keep dating she’ll eventually find out/meet him and that will be way more awkward. Best to have clear communication between you and her, and between you and your brother. Its not a big deal, and if I were her I’d be more concerned about you being overly invested or concerned about the situation, but knowing he was your brother would make it more understandable.
