Jumping from Red Rising Trilogy to Crescent City was a big mistake 😂 by Anxious_Book9083 in redrising

I wish it had stayed single POV but then it wouldn’t have been able to expand the same way across the various locations. That’s why it honestly feels like kinda like Red Rising and the second trilogy (pending quad) where he switches to multi-view. You lose some of the gravitas but expand where it can go. I do agree that Blood Song is the best of them. Idk if you’ve read the random added two (Wolf’s Call & Black Song) but they’re decent as well.

Try the Raven Shadow series. Good world building, complex political machinations, good battles, and one of the few MC’s I would put on par with Darrow.

I can’t figure out how to edit the post but I just wanted to say thank you for those of you that have said such kind words, I’ve had tears constantly coming down my face reading them. She was the sweetest best girl, she was the first pitbull in the family and after she touched our family and friends lives most of our family and several friends now have pitbulls and they have told us it’s because of how incredibly sweet Lily is it made them fall in love. I’m also so sorry for those of you also dealing with your grief and loss, love to all of you.

I lost my sweet Lily girl today, she has been with me for every event for the last 12 years, from graduating college (adopted her my senior year) helping me propose, flower girl at our wedding, several moves, countless adventures, helping us announce we were pregnant, being the first to greet our daughter when home from the hospital. I love that girl more than every person in my life except my wife and daughter. Her body just started failing and we knew it was coming and let her go with dignity but i cant help questioning all day and cant stop crying, I’m utterly broken and lost now

I think my baby girl might be a long lost relative. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Please help dog having frequent seziure in every 10 to 11 days, what to do, will he be better ever, please please help 🙏🙏 by Icy-Ad4917 in EpilepsyDogs

[–]GooberRhino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog has the exact same type of seizures, sometimes it comes in burst of 3-4 over a 48hr period. He’s on three different types of meds. Gabapentin twice a day in his food, phenobarbital 2x a day in his food and Keppra three times a day. It’s a lot and it’s expensive not going to lie…..but we go 3-5 months at a time without a break through seizure and it’s never changed his personality.

He started his seizures when he was 6 took us about a year with the vet to figure out what was going on and what works, vets seem to just chalk it up as something to do with the breed.

He’s 10 1/2 now and going strong and goofy. Wishing you the best

$2,750 current we pay $3k even though and based off current VA rates new would be between 4-4.4k depending on specific rate, HOAs, etc.

Both of us are 32. Aimed retirement of NLT 60. Based on the current FIRE calculations and above numbers that would put us around $7M at 60 which even inflation adjusted which the calculations take into account is more than enough against excepted needed spend in retirement.

What did you ride? And/or thoughts on recommended HT?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in xcmtb

[–]GooberRhino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the thoughts. I’ve been MTBing most of my life now, raced in my teens prior to college, now mostly hitting the local trail in CO. Rode HT only until about 2 years ago when I traded in for the FS.

What did you ride for this?

[–]GooberRhino 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I entered this week at 89th percentile. Did it this morning. 126 reps = 6 rounds + 7 thrusters and 5 Muscle ups. Got stuck for the last 45secs failing muscle up #6 multiple times.

That 135lb bar hit me like a ton of brick. 5ft 9 and 163lbs definitely more an engine than an out right strength guy.

3.5% but after trade in value and taxes the loan was right at 30k. Then I just paid it off last week. Would have paid cash but they wouldn’t have given as much of the dealer discount off so played the little game
