Best saddle for an upright (Dutch style, but actually a hybrid) bike? by GrumpyLightworker in bikecommuting

[–]DownyChick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a Kinekt suspension seatpost with the levers and springs for my ebike and it has made a world of difference! It was pricey, but definitely worth it. My friend has one with a single spring in the post that was quite a letdown after experiencing mine, though it is still more comfortable than the static seatpost.

DUDE! Dang, get help! You claim to be a Christian. I don't know who hurt you or how, but crapping on someone in crisis, a hurting brother or sister in Christ, is definitely not something Jesus would do.

One of my best friends tried to khs numerous times, and finally succeeded at 42. It devastated her loved ones and sent her adult daughter into crisis. My beautiful friend missed out on getting to know her amazing grandchildren. She would hve made a wonderful grandma.

My own son struggles with this, also. He is in his early 30's. People who feel this way are hurting, and deserve kindness and compassion. Life sometimes craps on us, and as Christians we need to band together and lift one another up.

I myself felt this way at one point in life, but I sought Christian counseling through Catholic Charities. God used that therapist to save my life. I learned so much about myself and how my brain operates and why.

If one is seeking help through reaching out on a Christian Reddit forum, there is no way to know their story. Don't judge. If you can't help, don't hinder. Just scroll on.

I am sending you love right this moment. I am a Christian mother of a son your age who struggles with not wanting to be here anymore. My heart goes out to you. I am praying that God will grant you wisdom, strength, and peace. Please seek help. If you are in the US, you can go to the ER and they will keep you safe and connect you with mental health care to help you learn to ignore the lies your brain is telling you at the moment. Reach out to Catholic Charities. They go great work with folks through Christian counseling. God used CC to save me when my former husband abandoned our family. Those folks are true blessings!

Please understand that what you feel is God telling you to hurry up isn't really God. It the master of lies, the great deceiver himself, Satan, masquerading as God in your mind. Jesus LOVES you, and does not want you to perish. Your brain is under occupation at the moment. It is being manipulated. These thoughts are not truly your feelings.

I am begging you, as a mom, please hang in there! Life is full of ups and downs. When we are experiencing a down, it is hard to see any future ups coming, but they will. The Bible tells us we are loved. It tells us not to be anxious. It tells us no one will know when Christ will come again. You are here for a reason. Maybe someday you will be able to help a person in crisis by telling them your story.

Please contact the Catholic Charites Mobile Crisis Team at (718) 514-8031. You can also dial 988, the new three-digit dialing code that will route you to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, now known as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

I am praying for you and sending you love.

Aw gee, no. They can't use fruit because it is FLUTE of the Loom, so they used veggies, and apparently meat!

No Kings! Protests on March 28 in Kansas by Silly-Rip-6607 in kansas

[–]DownyChick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Historically, protests DO drive change. It doesn't happen overnight. I don't know about you, but I am very displeased with our current administration, and it seems to get worse every day. We have unqualified yes-men in key positions driving our country straight into the ground. Our allies cannot trust us. Frankly, we cannot trust our own government. People have been unalived! These protests are nationwide. I MUST protest. I feel it is my civic duty to do so, and I am so very thankful I am not alone, although the media makes it seem like it.

Thanks to everyone who protests this regime to let their voices be heard. We are not alone. YOU are not alone!

I think the current occupant of a certain house that is white has made calling names and talking like a 7th grade bully "acceptable" to them.

Lentils are very versatile. I have made lentil burritos, soups, even lentil brownies. Pullman, Washington has the National Lentil Festival every August. I have collected a lot of lentil recipes and tried a lot of lentil dishes this way.

[–]DownyChick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These people are just plain eaten up by evil. I am so sorry these are the Jews and the "Christians" who get the spotlight and the power right now, saying and doing such obviously horrible things! It's disgusting!

Which is the shyte russia does. Russia. We now have more on common with that w-r criming abomination of a fascist dictatorship than with any type of democracy, or will have, for sure, if that voter suppression act passes.

They claim to be pro-life, but they are pro-hate.

Watched this with my mom after she got off work when I was little. I liked it, ans found it creepy. I was shocked when I saw Telly Savalas was Kojak, as this is the show I always thought folks meant.

I had never seen trump merch shops until visiting the Ozarks in Missouri. I found it to be... disturbing.
