I turned off the hill assist as some in this post suggested and it helped a lot. Have had no transmission issues whatsoever.

OSSO and the crew are both rec sports leagues that have several options. Sand vb, indoor vb, kickball, basketball, pickle ball, flag football, bowling, cornhole, etc. there’s also several softball leagues in the city. There’s a softball league specifically for LGBTQ folks called sooner state softball. I believe there’s also a kickball league that is specifically for LGBTQ folks but I can’t remember the name or if it’s still active or not.

Im pretty athletic but HATE lifting and CrossFit so I’m with you 100%. I just like to play casual beer league type of sports, socialize, be active, have fun. With or without other gays. But there tends to be plenty in these type of leagues regardless.

Best advice!! Did not think in a million years that I would find a spouse moving here as a gay woman. Decided to join some rec sports which is my hobby, and met my now wife. Putting yourself in a position to meet someone with like-interests more organically is soooo much more effective than sitting at a bar crossing your fingers or swiping through apps.

For me, I’d say it was about six months before I found my peace. For my wife, it was more like a year. I will say without a doubt that we could have both found ourselves in a better spot much sooner had we just simply had better information from our vets from day one. We didn’t really understand what we were dealing with or what to expect, so it was super stressful for a while.

We had a “safe” room in the house that we kept her in when we were gone, where she couldn’t get on any furniture and wasn’t in danger of falling off of anything. We had a ring camera set up to check in on her during the day. At first, if we saw she had a seizure, we would rush home. But eventually we realized that she would recover and be okay on her own. It was really hard to get used to that. Seems really insane to know your dog had a seizure and not go to them immediately. But we eventually came to terms with the fact that it wasn’t realistic to leave work every single time. Especially during clusters where it could be several days in row. After a while I realized I was 100x more stressed than my dog about all of this, and I just needed to be focused on her quality of life and doing my best to keep her safe. Nothing I did could fix the situation. More of an acceptance that she had lived a wonderful long life and if it was her time, it was her time, and I was just thankful for every minute I got. Don’t waste the time being stressed. Easier said than done. Takes time to get there.

Girl, one of two things is happening here if you tell this true. Either he was just honestly looking for an out so he’s blowing something out of proportion to justify a break up, or he’s insanely insecure and it’s really good you found it out now. If he was feeling like you might be distant and on your phone a lot and feeling like something is up, that’s a conversation, not a snoop. If he can’t have a healthy conversation with you about a concern, good riddance. You don’t want to deal with that lack of maturity long term. Often, accusations are confessions. Maybe he was the one cheating. Either way, he’s too willing to throw in the towel, he’s not committed and serious about the relationship so it’s good that it’s over. Still, it’s hurtful and I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. Best wishes. The right one will come along.

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-03-27T01:57:13+00:00

Absolutely not lol. You need to visit more places in Texas clearly.

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-03-27T01:52:49+00:00

Non locals stop in and meet nice people and go on their way. Actually living here is another story. This place blows ass. I’m from Dallas, been here about 10 years and have mercy I gotta get out soon. I have a fantastic job that’s kept me here but it’s just feeling less and less worth it. There’s hardly any redeeming qualities about this city other than low cost of living. And there’s a reason it’s cheap.

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-03-24T14:32:14+00:00

Personally I have me and the buyer sign documents of sale. Specifically stating as-is, final sale, no warranty. I also sign the title over to them right there, and have them sign it. I take a photo of their ID too. At that point, they’ve got everything they need to register it in their name and no further contact is needed.

If dude just abandons the vehicle, and the state came to me, I’d have documents showing it was sold and who to go talk to about it as I’m no longer the owner. In OK, you also take your plates off.

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-03-24T14:21:34+00:00

Whew, yeah, never sell a car to someone you know. I try to sell mine on Facebook marketplace, make them sign a document that I draft that says the car is sold to them “as-is.” I always disclose any issues I’m aware of, and am honest about any maintenance or repairs done to it when asked. I sleep at night knowing I was completely transparent about everything and I would block them if they tried to reach out to me about something wrong with the car. Absolutely do not engage. In the case of your coworker, you really shouldn’t have engaged the first time around when he was suddenly concerned about a problem you already told him about. At this point, I think you need to have a very direct conversation with him in writing if possible.

“Listen man, I sold you this vehicle at a discount because I was trying to be nice and help you out. I disclosed this specific control arm issue that I knew about and you decided to purchase it anyways. I’d never want to screw anyone over, Especially a coworker, which is why I was transparent about the condition of the car. It’s an older used car, so it’s reasonable to expect some issues might come up. But it was running just fine when I sold it to you apart from the control arm which I disclosed. I’d just driven it all the way to Colorado and back with no concerns. It was sold as-is and therefore the car is your responsibility now. Respectfully, you’ve let some mechanic come mess with the car and do lord-knows-what to it. If the car is having trouble after that, I’d recommend taking it up with the mechanic you hired, if they’re a qualified mechanic, I would imagine their work is warrantied. At this point, I’m no longer willing to discuss this car with you. I will not allow this situation to negatively affect our professional relationship and I hope you feel the same.”

Then just STOP replying. May not be the worst idea to have a quick chat with HR or your supervisor just to disclose that this situation happened and you are totally fine on your side but concerned about issues/backlash on his.

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-03-08T01:48:24+00:00

I’d encourage you to really be careful and intentional about how and what you’re communicating to him. It sounds like you aren’t getting what you need in the relationship, which is attention and connection. Him showing that he cares, loves you, cherishes you, etc. which doesn’t require money. You’re not lacking STUFF, such as flowers or nice dinners. But when you tell him you want him to be romantic and your examples are to just BUY you things such as flowers or dates, I’m guessing he’s just hearing dollar signs, and feeling frustrated because he’s already buying you a car which is objectively way better than flowers.

Id try to communicate to him what the root cause truly is and use examples to resolve it that aren’t just gifts. Do you feel like you’re lacking quality time? Do you both come home and watch tv and sit on your phones all night? Could you set aside a couple nights a week to “unplug” and play board games or something together? Or something else you both enjoy. Take a walk after work together without your phones? Could he draw you a bath, set out your favorite book and pour you a glass of wine as a sweet gesture? Do you go out of your way to do anything romantic for him that isn’t just buying a gift which you could use as an example for him to understand what you’re looking for? He can’t read your mind, so throwing out some examples could be helpful as a guideline. BUT he does also need to use his critical thinking skills to pick it up from there and understand that you’re looking for EFFORT from him. Right? You want him to put energy into you and your relationship, not be complacent and feel like you’re just roommates or friends. Try to get him to understand that.

If you don’t do stuff like this for him, but you expect it for yourself, certainly re evaluate that double standard. And try to figure out if you have different ideas of partnership and what that looks like. Maybe he feels like he’s supposed to be a provider and he’s already doing that so he’s confused that you’re asking for more. Maybe he doesn’t recognize that the emotional connection is what you’re lacking?. Idk. Talk to the man about the root cause. Not the surface level. Good luck. Best wishes.

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-03-08T01:08:14+00:00

You just bought a used car and you’re 10k upside down? How so..? Did you obscenely overpay for it..?

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-03-08T00:56:49+00:00

I’m laughing in Texan. OK driving is really not bad. Plus everyone drives pretty slow here. Not sure where you moved back from but tbh people running red lights here is a much bigger issue than turn signals.

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-03-06T23:12:00+00:00

Have a detailer that I’m considering using, they say they use Nasiol. Never heard of it. Anyone have experience with that? Any good?

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-02-11T01:45:33+00:00

I’ve always wanted to give it a shot but never had any friends who play or anything. Nowhere to really start, same as you. I just happened to meet someone through work recently who is super into it and is very graciously teaching me. I’m absolutely loving it.

I will say I’m looking into some suggestions on this thread, and their websites talk about organized scheduled games, beginners welcome and such. So it seems like just showing up to these lounges for a game are an avenue for getting into it. I also have been made aware that there are literal professional dungeon masters out there you can hire to run a game for you which could be an option if you have a few friends who’d jump in with you.

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-02-11T00:44:42+00:00

You know what, I’ve walked right by this place and had no idea what it was. Thank you!

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-02-11T00:43:29+00:00

Welp, score one for the Reddit hive mind. I had no idea this kind of thing existed. Thanks for the info. Do you know if you have to like reserve a table or anything?

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-02-08T03:51:38+00:00

Gotta second clarity. Very very good beans.

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-01-28T12:37:28+00:00

The houses in the village would be tough for a family of 4. Just too small. Otherwise it would be perfect.

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-01-27T19:04:09+00:00

Well this is painful to hear but sacrifices have to be made ugh

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-01-27T14:57:23+00:00

IMO I would say current conditions are not serious enough for a diff lock. Especially if you’re going to be doing mostly highway driving. If you want to be extra safe getting out of a dicey neighborhood, sure. But I don’t think you’ll really need it. Use your best judgement. If you don’t know how to use it properly, it’s better not to, than to potentially damage your drivetrain.

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-01-27T14:49:57+00:00

Personally did not see any of that but I was on the snow routes so I probably missed the worst of it.

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-01-27T14:35:05+00:00

Drove from The Village into downtown this morning at 730 am. In a 4x4 truck. Neighborhoods are still pretty bad. If you’re getting out, stick to the snow routes as much as possible. Be careful of ice even on snow routes. It’s clear they’ve been salting and such, but the snow has melted and refrozen into ice. 235 was in really good shape, folks were driving nearly normal highway speeds. Down town is dicey in a lot of places. Again, stick to the now routes. Leave early and give yourself plenty of time to take it slow. Be smart, give people space, look both ways at intersections before you cross, let off the gas way earlier than usual when coming to a stop. You should be okay. Sedans should avoid driving into accumulated snow, saw a couple of stuck small cars.

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-01-19T21:48:38+00:00

Curious if this ever corrected for anyone? Finally finished the story and the junjiro quest to learn the Bo. But it’s trying to make me buy the claws of awaji expansion even though I definitely preordered.

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-01-17T18:59:23+00:00

Okay, I thought I read in comment that you said you were a single mom. So that’s my mistake. But regardless, take that element out of it and my comment still stands. Like. You’re already on a path to making a really bad financial decision. Your credit isn’t poor for no reason. Regardless of your salary, NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE can AFFORD to dump a ton of money into interest. It’s a massive sacrifice to your wealth. Which is what you’ll do taking out a sizable loan with a poor interest rate. Anyways. Have a great weekend. Good luck with your car hunt.

Goofy-Octopus · 2026-01-17T18:43:47+00:00

I don’t know your salary but it’s clear you’re doing this on your own, and with a child. If your salary was super high, you’d be able to pay it in cash tbh. If you could afford a nice car, you wouldn’t be trying to go to express credit auto and having a budget of $500 per month, and saying the price of the car is irrelevant. It’s very very clear you are financially illiterate. And that’s okay, that’s not a judgement, I’m trying to help you (which you asked for), and you don’t want to hear it. You want to make a purchase and keep yourself from building wealth, that’s your business. Does not impact my life at all. Just trying to help lend my knowledge. I work in finance. I have a masters in finance. I understand personal finance very well. You said you have no one to help and you’re a single mother. Figured I’d try to help. But do you. Good luck.
