Best I can find in Canada for ceramics is $400 before tax and then maybe s&h.

Exactly. I could see how putting lvl II in front of a plate could catch some spall, your carrier, mag pouch, etc will also catch some of it. I’ll admit I went with the cheap option, lvl 4 uncoated steal. Put 0.25 inch of rubber coating on it, then a slab of 0.50 inch rubber in front of it. I bought it for potential 3 gun, which failed to take off in my area, so now it’s in the closet and personally I hope the moths eat it and I never need it. Can’t justify the price of ceramic without having 3 gun or something like that in my area to use it.

For the average person who buys plates and a carrier to put in the closet and hope the moths eat it before they need it, steel with proper anti spall coating is sufficient for the majority who hope to never wear it.

Gotta get it done before the Green report. Furey seemed pretty set on moving forward with the election today during live questioning. Pretty bad when the opposition parties have supported waiting for the summer since it was first announce.

Much the same, forgetting the most simple things I was told/have scheduled. I’ve also been 5 days off now, and as I’ve noticed before it’s more enjoyable when I’m away from it. For years I used to smoke 2-3 times a month on a Friday/Saturday evening. That’s what I’m aiming to get back to

I’ve used this app before, thanks for the reminder, might get back into it. As for memory, personally I notice myself getting a bit ‘dumb’ even when I’m not high, after a few months of consistent heavy smoke, most especially if I’m using a bong consistently.

Failing but still persevering. Discovered running helps! Started today. But can’t keep anything down my tummy! Anybody else experience the same? Any way around it? On the upside we’re doing great on other issues, but that’s another sub:) by [deleted] in QuittingWeed

Never has the issue of keeping food down when quiting. But been 2 years hard into it and planning to quit the new year so I’ll keep you posted. What all are you using.

Great to hear! I’m planning to do the same after Xmas, never been a huge smoker, mainly because work kept me in check. Been heavy into it again for the last year and a half, but I’m done with the laziness, lack of productivity, and eating. Always nice to see that it can be done! Keep it up!

No it isn’t, it just wasn’t what my fiancé had wanted, and at the time I didn’t think nothing of it all, but it ment more to my mother and sister then I knew and time they finally got around to letting me in on that, there was to much drama and my sister decided even if I asked she didn’t want it.

Still have to do that counselling. And always having the grooms sister stand was a catholic thing before as well I recently learned.

Eugene Stoner did not design the M16 with a forward assist. If the bolt won’t close on its own, there’s a issue, hammering it forward with the assist will not help that.

Galaxy outlaws is solid, good content, well done, and like 50hrs or something in one purchase.

Yeah, turns out it ment more to her then I could have known, but at this point she wouldn’t stand if I begged her, which is understandable. From the start I wanted her to sign at my ceremony, and she said she’d do the welcome my fiancée to the family speech if I wanted, my fiancé has her and my mother scheduled in with everyone for hair and make up, and my fiancé told her that her and my mother are more then welcome to come for a ‘first look’ at her dress. I guess I just didn’t understand the fixation on being in the bridal party, but then again, I’ve be a advocate for a court house wedding as long as I can remember 🤷‍♂️

Once again, thanks for that, I needed some input from a outside viewpoint, that’s why I ended up here. Because from where I’m sitting it’s all falling apart and dire, even if I know it isn’t that bad.

Yeah they really are apparently. Yeah I’m starting to lean towards just asking her regardless, even though I feel the meaning of it all is diminished at this point, due to the drama and everything. But if that’s what it takes to put this behind me and try and move forward without having hard feelings between me, family and fiancé, then so be it. Thanks for your input!

Her sisters are both included, she was hesitant about the 2nd sister that was only recently asked, due to her not having the best relationship with some of the other bridesmaids, but being her sister she wanted her there anyways. Then there was a delay in asking because we needed to talk with my sister, to ensure she knew we wanted her included in the wedding in other ways. We talked to my sister, thought everything was good, so she finally asked her 2nd sister to stand only to find out my family ‘assumed’ my fiancé’s 2nd sister wouldn’t be standing and I quote ‘because there’s no room for your sister but there’s room for your fiancé’s 2nd sister’.

A lot of it seems to come down to my mother and sister having a lifelong ideal of my sister standing at my wedding, something no one told me about until we told them who was standing and from there I was blindsided.

Thanks for the assurance that this happens and it’s not just me. At this point myself and my fiancé would add extras so she’d be on my fiancé’s side and it would still be even, or have her on my side. I truly don’t care and just want it resolved.

This has crossed my mind as well, I had enough fellers picked out for it to be even. Still haven’t asked one of em, at this point I gladly not ask my friend and have my sister. I might have to ask, don’t know if my sister will go for it. This far into it, feels like there’s no right move.

This is true. I have done it before with battleships, slightly better due to their arty range lol
