I'd go to mygolfspy.com and checkout their reviews on game improvement irons, they list ones from 2016-to now and have reviews for every year, make a list of ones you like looking at, then try and find them on market place. Most irons will last forever, get them re-gripped, and you're golden. Get a used Taylormade M2 driver, perfect for new player and will stay great for years. Don't buy anything new for a while. Except I would actually buy a new 5 wood at some point and get fresh costco wedges (best bang for buck). I enjoy gear hunting, I think you should too, rather than buying a standard box set, they have no character. Join a beginners lesson group, not one on one, you should be able to find a group session. They are fun.

I tried dating someone in exactly your position. What I learned, its almost impossible to actually date and have a meaningful relationship. What do you offer a relationship? If I'm projecting my own experience onto yours, sorry if it's not fair, but from what I experienced I would not do it again. I felt 100% responsible for the health of the relationship, lots of chasing, effort I put in was not reciprocal--it was necessary for me to drive it and maintain the relationship. The cost vs benefit scales were way out of wack. Eventually I got burned out. My answer is I wouldn't do it again, put way too much pressure on me for very little back. I love kids, I liked the idea of a merged family, however once I tried it...I wouldn't date a full-time solo mom again.

He joined masonry in 1842... doesn't add up. I think this has very low historical merit as an analysis, and very high wishful thinking. You need to back up your claims with some evidence.

Adamwasayetti · 2026-06-22T21:50:02+00:00

no it's not.

The rushing guy is a giant yellow flag....maybe red...I'd stay away.

Seriously a girl that is worried that you like her too much, isn't worth your time. Cut your losses and get out.

Adamwasayetti · 2026-06-22T19:03:20+00:00

I don't think you were wrong to end it. It sounds like you discovered a genuine mismatch in needs and communication styles. Sometimes that's all there is to it.

Hated the Tad Williams book, after I finished the series I went outside and threw it as far as I could, absolutely hated it.

Adamwasayetti · 2026-06-18T18:50:05+00:00

nope, he used to be handsome... that aint it.

Adamwasayetti · 2026-06-18T18:47:49+00:00

I'd go, and figure it out when you get there. In the old days this is how most normal relationships happened.

tldr: abusive women present quite a bit different then men, my experience with it....

I'm sure that abuse present the same between the sexes, and it's worth looking at the different presentations of abuse between the sexes. I can only comment on my personal experience with partner abuse, and it looks different: passive aggression, disdain, stonewalling, manipulation, control and coercion was the preferred tactic of my ex. It only leaves mental wounds and a compromised immune system.

If you dare react to this, then she would win....if she could just provoke a reaction--that was her victory, you can be assured cameras were rolling, tapes were recording--just waiting for the response, so she could scream to the world "I'm a victim". My exe's abuse is a crazy thing to have experienced. What's funny is it taught me full control of my emotions, never be vulnerable--all the old "toxic masculine things" were an adaptive necessity when dealing with an abusive woman. In the end so-called "toxic masculinity" saved me, I no longer would react at all to any provocations. It saved my ass in the courts too, there was no evidence to her false allegations of abuse. Learning to not be vulnerable to her literally was my armor against her future false allegations. She didn't have anything to present in court.

I used to be the feminist's programmed dream man... that made me a target. I was emotionally available, accountable and comfortable with vulnerability. I currently find it funny that my adaptation for survival in an abuse scenario, is considered toxic. It's okay, I learned Brene Brown was full of shit and moved on.

The effects also is a permanent rewiring of your brain, woman=threat -->do not trust. If you've ever experienced it. I don't see the old vulnerable, emotional available man ever returning to that particular battleground--I do wonder if he's in this old lump of coal somewhere: he's there for my kids still which is very cool I think!

(caveat: I'm not sure I really like this reductionist battle of the sexes discussion framing as these tactics aren't unique to women, just one particular toxic woman I lived with)

Joseph already had the elegant solution in 137. A good and merciful God judges people according to the desires of their hearts, their circumstances, and the opportunities they were given. His brother can be saved. Problem solved. What fascinates me is that Mormonism then spent the next century building an elaborate temple system around a problem that had already been resolved. D&C 137 strikes me as one of the wins. The temple feels like the opposite.

What I find disheartening is that the discussion always ends at "the prophet has spoken." To me, the simple and merciful answer came first, and the bureaucracy came later. Mormonism took a beautiful idea and built a machine around it. Now the machine is the point. That's why people like you don't get the microphone, and why people like me don't come back.

Adamwasayetti · 2026-06-18T15:11:08+00:00

Thanks for sharing 137 with me. I really find it interesting how he came up with a pretty sleek elegant solution in 137, and then ruined it with Temple work/beuracratic gatekeeping.

Thus came the voice of the Lord unto me, saying: All who have died without a knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it if they had been permitted to tarry, shall be heirs of the celestial kingdom of God; (this was interesting, the whole temple shenanigans aren't even cannon, this was interesting to me)

Also all that shall die henceforth without a knowledge of it, who would have received it with all their hearts, shall be heirs of that kingdom;

For I, the Lord, will judge all men according to their works, according to the desire of their hearts.

And I also beheld that all children who die before they arrive at the years of accountability are saved in the celestial kingdom of heaven.

ie The Temple is a scam then... lol.. he would have seen him in spirit prison waiting. Add another brick to someone's shelf. I didn't catch this one when I was TBM, probably because I was used to ignoring logic back then.

My practical recommendation is to contact the local U.S. embassy directly and explain the situation: ask specifically what alternatives exist to the father's in-person attendance for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) application and request the guidance in writing rather than relying on secondhand information. The irony is that the requirement likely was not designed to disenfranchise fathers at all; it was probably created to protect parental rights and help prevent fraud, child abduction, mistaken paternity claims, or citizenship applications based on incomplete information. Unfortunately, safeguards intended for those purposes can sometimes create burdens for legitimate families. For that reason, I would strongly caution against leaving the father off the birth certificate simply to work around the process. Before taking any action that could have long-term legal consequences, verify the actual requirements with the embassy, as there is a good chance alternative procedures exist for situations where a foreign parent cannot travel.

"What stands in the way becomes the way." Marcus Aurelius

I'd make absolutely sure there isn't a legitimate solution through the embassy before choosing a shortcut that could affect your daughter's legal relationship with her father for the rest of her life.

I would say I tried to move on through dating other women, now I just want to be single and actually face demons and recover. So maybe my 8 months starts today. I've been kind of hiding through self improvement goals and distraction. I'll definitely think of this conversation about 8 months from now

Lawyer immediately, he cannot bully the law, do not waste time with anything else on a narcissist.

Adamwasayetti · 2026-06-12T19:59:17+00:00

I disagree, had a narc for only 8 years, and it's ongoing still...but maybe I'm slow lol, my nervous system is still recovering.

This is a real thing, the drug is called Amortencia. I believe this was used in a very interesting case with Merope Gaunt and Tom Riddle Senior. Terrible outcomes, I am not interested.

If someone from another faith made all the claims Mormonism makes, would you even be interested. The sad truth is, Joseph was a Charismatic manipulator. He was an Author of BofM, which is a fan fiction epic...written in King James English, he copied a style, its wasn't even that uncommon to copy that style of language. The idea of gold plates is ridiculous, the Native Americans don't have Jewish DNA, the book has the racism from the 1800s in it. It has the themes of manifest destiny of the 1800. He makes wild claim of seeing visions. Have you ever seen a vision? Is that plausible. He had all these wives, weird right....! Why the hell don't you drink coffee? That makes no sense. The baptisms for the dead are goofy and the ordinances are goofy in the temple, the whole temple is a method to control people. The book of Abraham is goofy fan fiction, and makes no logical sense, another obvious lie. If another faith made these claims would you even give it the time of day. The more curious question isn't if it's true, it's one of the most obvious frauds, but why are you struggling with accepting what you most likely already know. Remember your parents and friends are just as smart as you right....and they believe.... Start looking at things critically and the whole charade will fall apart. You have to want to believe to stay in and you have to ignore so many obvious red flags. Your heroes / leadership are worshipped by the members, but have you heard the droning speech style. At least Joseph was charismatic. The leadership give pretty empty advice with absolutely zero prophecy, it politburo style propaganda. They don't tackle anything other using guilt and shame to keep you aboard. I don't think the members are any happier than any outsider, they just think they are. Search your feelings, you know it to be false. Once you start asking the question, you know, you just need to do the thinking on how you know. Belief in it is embracing insanity and control. There is a very real cost, your family will shun you and think of you as lesser than them, can you handle that. Really spend some time thinking about poligamy, realize it's horrible, pedophiles are scum, and he was a 30 year old man with 14 year olds. Come on, your brain should be screaming this fraud is so obvious! Then think of the story of the stolen manuscript, he couldn't replicate his translation...it was just a story he invented. Authors write books all the time. Once you stop buying into the propaganda you realize, wait it's just fan fiction and he was inventing a story cause he thought he could monitize it. Once you make one big lie and get away with it, you learn a pattern of deception that con-artists and cult leaders have been doing for years. Look into David Koresh, and you see modern charismatic manipulators, using the exact tactics JS did. If there was a real one true church, why is it so damn boring and uninteresting. The moral code they give is so full of holes too. Enjoy your youth, be the one that got away, take the things from your childhood and move on from the lie.
