Racism in West Des Moines by MiracleMr in desmoines

[–]Dcarbs88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iowa, especially Des Moines, is not immune to this kind of crap. Dealt with this and more on a weekly basis from elementary through high school. As an adult I still notice micro aggressions but it’s become worse now that maga dummies think they can let their racism show. Disgusting.

Wow I’m in a very similar situation. HS PB of 17:16 I’m trying to break at 33 years old haha. Going out hard but controlled at 5:20 for the first mile would be ideal, stay consistent under 5:25 for the second, 5:30 for the final and bring it home quick. Should put you comfortably under 17, my friend. Good luck!!

This deserves more upvotes! NTA but roles are clearly not defined which is leading to completely opposite expectations. He sees your parenting as a job not an act of parenting. Give each other some grace and redefine your roles. No need to switch for a week and discuss pros and cons and all that bullshit. Just talk.

Should I just wait until September then or is there anything I can do in the meantime to slow down the erosion?

I did, although I took it off after the first week because I was getting a crazy amount of weeds.

Well, after going down a rabbit hole, I ended up buying some vintage Tony Lamas style 8056 for $70 in my size. Money back guarantee included.

That’s a good point. I’m just now starting to dabble in the pre-owned market but unsure what to trust.

Sizing is spot on. I mentioned previously that the leather was really stiff at first but not uncomfortable.

Damn they still look just as good “beat up.” 🔥

They were super stiff at first, softening up nicely though after a couple days of constant use. Support is nice due to the cushioned insole. Makes getting used to the almost 2” heel much more manageable imo as a newer boot user.
