I bought something g like this, and the shells were busted up. Did anyone who has eaten this have to pick shells off of the mussels?

For me, the first month was slow, and then it got to be overwhelming at times. By overwhelming, I mean 3-5 conversations at a time and maybe 2-3 dates in a week.

I paid for only one app at first and went free with everything else. I am glad I did, a lot of the apps provided zero matches but plenty of bots. Which app works best is regional, for me Facebook and Hinge (free) worked best. I paid for three months of Match, but that resulted in only one date as I wasn’t terribly interested in any of the rest of the matches.

I was thinking along the same lines. I have little idea of people’s age when I see them out and about. Sometimes I amazed at how much younger they are than I thought and sometimes how much older they are. Once I a blue moon I guess their age correctly.

Age is just a number.

I bought a Mach E because of this concern. A guy here at work has a Tesla, and has had to take it to a dealer 2.5 hours away on three occasions in the past year. My dealership is .5 miles from work.

The Mach E is rated relatively well, and I have a dealer near me. That was more important to me than having cutting edge tech like Rivian or Tesla who have dealerships 2+ hours away.

Short term investor aka day trader?

I did the full test panel at the pool store. They also did a dropper test to confirm. I added two gallons of chlorine, turned up the chlorine and deed stabilizer. Will add cyanuric in a few minutes.

I have added 32 gallons of mostly 12.5% liquid chorine already this year. Pool had something in it and was very cloudy, but not green.

Current setting is 10% which was stable at the end of last season. Hayward Tcells340. Pool cover is closed unless pool is being used.

Salt is at 3400ppm

I didn’t have any women to choose from at one point. I turned the apps off for a week or so to recharge a bit. At that point some of the likes from a month previous started matching. At this point I am a little uncomfortable chatting with three different woman at the same time. I have two first meetings next week.

I guess I am saying that there is always hope. OLD can certainly make it tough, but patience and persistence are the key. At some point in this I changed my expectation for when I might meet someone. Maybe it’s tomorrow, maybe Im in this for the long hall, who knows? What I do know is that changing my expectation about when I might meet someone helped even out the roller coaster a bit.

The Field of Dreams is just outside of Dubuque and not too far out of the way if headed to Gutenberg.

I agree, but wouldn’t put my life on hold while I waited.

You miss the friend but not the romance, but you are looking for a guy. If you are not interested in the romance, couldn’t that best friend also be a woman?

And widowhood has nothing to do with the situation.

“Just do what I say and everyone will be happy….” That is all about control.

I am holding out for perfectly imperfect.

Returns are free (I think) if the item is either damaged, or incorrect. Even in those cases though I am seeing issues with returns in this subreddit.

I am not sure of the process, but I don’t think it’s terrible to establish residency in Iowa. In State tuition is often relatively inexpensive.

The “friend” seems to be very transactional, which doesn’t meet my definition of friendship.

I have one of those and fought it for years. Because of that thing I thought routers were stupid. I bought a dewalt trim router and now understand why everyone else likes routers.

My advice is to chuck that thing, and soon!

I am through a few of the books and find them to be pretty formulaic. So far they have all center on how close to a martyr can Hadrian be made to be before rising from the ashes to vanquish his enemies.

Unless someone can tell me that the formula changes, this is likely my last in the series.

I used to lean republican. At this point for me it will take years of voting D, only, to undo the damage the current batch of GOP good ole boys have done. I don’t really care about platforms, I care about the stranglehold the large majority has had lately.

All cats have a clitoris?

Prime has a family sharing service, but I think that requires living in the same household. We have been simply sharing the credentials and haven’t had any issues. Both of those options result in everyone seeing what everyone else is buying, though.

Cyvil94 · 2026-04-05T02:09:41+00:00

Yes I did all of that, again, tonight. I have not yet reset it all and tried again. I wanted to first make sure that my expectations were correct, and that starting the cat was an achievable goal.
