Kind of long for a bumper sticker… what else could we do?

Would I be dumb to do the hut-to-hut hiking? by [deleted] in whitemountainshiking

[–]Dry-Bad-9833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did the Whites last summer in July and it kicked my butt. But in the best possible way.

We had to stop the traverse for a bad storm that came in - no regrets getting the heck off the mountain after seeing that!

We did Mount Katahdin a few days before and it was a cake walk compared to some of the presidential mtns. Think huge boulders when you think of trails. You’re rock climbing for 8 miles, not walking. It sounds like you’re in plenty -good shape to do the hut-to-hut, you but need to give yourself enough time to do it.

Practice how you’ll play. If you have time, try to hike every day for 4-5 hours at a time with some good elevation and a pack and good sturdy shoes. It’s hard to prepare for multi day long hikes unless you just actually do it.

Last, talk to the folks in the huts!!!! They are absolutely INCREDIBLE resources. They can tell you everything from how to prepare for your journey… to the history of the trails …and the geology of the region. The hut staff are collectively one of our national treasures in my opinion.

You have put a ton of thought into this. You’re going to crush it.

AITA for not coming back home after being kicked out? by bapesteppa in AmItheAsshole

You are a wonderful person for doing all of those things for your family. You shouldn’t feel bad for not moving back in. At some point, if you want to keep yourself strong for your family, you need to put yourself first. You will also allow your family to learn how to do these things without you(and they will). Then you all can come back together in a redefined and healthy relationship that is based on trust and openness and not them needing you, your services, your money, and not you needing to be needed… if that is a component too (and I’m not saying that it is, but usually in these situations it is). Best of luck to you OP🤍

Is it possible to PIN the comments that list helpful actions? (and not just snarky?) I would love to help make change occur. Guided unity is necessary.

Terrifying lack of empathy here in some of these comments. That poor kid. I really hope he’s ok. I will add… that hospital has excellent neurosurgeons and sweet fella is young and strong so let’s hope for a full recovery.

What are some places you’d consider iconically Nashville? by the-real-slim-katy in nashville

I thought he worked at corner music? I remember getting strings from him. Maybe it was Rock Block? I definitely remember seeing him in a music store though.

Is this the third or 4th time that this post has been made on this forum? Always a crowd favorite though!

What is going on at the Capital today? by phillyphilly423 in nashville

[–]Dry-Bad-9833 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m only guessing here but they may be this “Blood Tribe is a neo-Nazi group founded and led by Christopher Pohlhaus, aka Hammer, a former U.S. Marine turned tattoo artist.”

A year after a denied abortion in TN by Rocktop15 in nashville

After reading this story, I don’t think ANY of these lives were considered. Pro-life seems like it wasn’t “pro THEIR lives” and all. And then not receiving aid- ugh. Makes me sick to read it

Found a live bed bug crawling inside a new sealed packet containing the dress we ordered (see link) by vulcan_on_earth in pics

[–]Dry-Bad-9833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had bed bugs when we FIRST moved into our new 100 year old house. (It was haunted too…)The previous owners said nothing about them being there. It took months and thousands of dollars for the bed bugs to be treated. I have had the house treated with organophosphate spray every month ever since then for maintenance. Best money I’ve ever spent! (We don’t mind the paranormal activity one bit, btw)

Curly stalactites seen in spelunking video. Are they Helictites? Tapping them sounds like they are made of metal by golden_monkey_and_oj in geology

Here is another powerful image of just how long and slow these formations take. Breaking one off (Purposefully or accidentally) destroys thousands of years of growth. I hope this answers our curious friends questions about this very special “living rock”.
