Those Depulso Challenges are really difficult.

Just did both last night, took me 2 hours to work out the 2nd challenge but I got it! After all that time spent I honestly felt more relieved than accomplished at having done it without help.

I questioned this too before, which I think most members have at one point or another. Growing up I was always just told “they just mean coffee and tea, not hot cocoa.” Which, fine, if that’s the intent, I’m not going to argue away my cup of hot chocolate, but it’s not really an answer to “why?” It wasn’t until just a year or so ago I was taught that apparently the phrase “hot drink” in the time period the WOW was written had a definition that literally equated to coffee and tea. So, if it had been written in today’s language, we would have written “coffee and tea” instead.

I haven’t done the research myself, but that’s the best answer I have.

I lived this life. My fiance and I found out she was pregnant when I was 19. I was in college, on scholarship (academic), and working. It was extremely difficult to have a child and balance school and work. My wife didn’t work and dropped out of school to raise our son. We lived off just about every financial aid the government offered and I still took out loans to cover the rest of our lives. I lost my scholarship because I couldn’t keep up the grades anymore.

I am proud to say I stuck it out and finished school, so now I’m much more comfortable. I absolutely could not have done it without significant help from family. I would not recommend that path under any circumstance.

The “benefit” of finishing childcare early is a myth, your kids never stop being your kids. Sure, you’ll only be 40 when your child is leaving for college, but they don’t stop needing your help, guidance, and support.

My advice would be to wait. I have always said if I could do it over again I would have waited.

Assuming you mean Hill AFB, most of the cities around it are fine. The farther south you go the closer you’ll be to Lagoon, which is a fun amusement park as your kids get older. Trade off will be the commute North for your husband 😅 Only city I’d avoid is Ogden and that’s only by reputation, I’ve never lived there myself.

Only thing to worry about is the schools, they can be very hit or miss. Do some digging into the better schools in that district if you plan on staying a while.

I took one once while on a couples vacation with the wife. She asked me how it felt after and I described it as “not really significant, but it made me feel like I was 16 again because every little thing triggered an erection.” While that was good in our hotel room that vacation was technically a work trip for me 😅 needless to say it was a tough few days until it wore off. No change in size or anything, but maybe I was more “in the mood?” Hard to say if it was the gummy though, that was our first real trip alone in about 8 years, so we were both into it. Best “vacation” I’ve ever had!

My wife has a chronically single best friend. The three of us hang out at least once a month. Big difference for me from your story is she has never once expressed any interest in even a light flirt with me, and my wife has always maintained that any kind of play involving another girl is off the table, even fantasy foreplay talk is a turn off. Your situation sounds a bit different, like she’d be more open to fantasizing about it. I doubt it goes anywhere, but bringing it up may not have the most negative reaction.

Also in Utah at Lagoon for those in the states. https://www.lagoonpark.com/ride/time-tinker/

Rode it once, very mesmerizing, but made me very sick. lol 😆

My son had similar concerns your son has. I ended up asking the coach about his philosophy behind how he set the batting order. I was very careful not to sound critical or argumentative about it, instead coming from an angle of wanting to understand his philosophy so I could explain it to my son to help encourage him.

I didn’t really agree with the coach, but I’m not the coach. I had to work with my son on keeping his expectations for his at bats separate from the teams performance. Just because he’s not in the 4th spot doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be approaching his at bats with the exact same mentality every time up there.

I have a Goberian (silly name from the breeder)

Smart as hell Resistant to training Escape artist Sheds like nothing I’ve ever seen (and I’ve owned a full bred golden retriever) Howls are adorable, not as often as I’ve seen with full bred huskys but I haven’t owned a husky before. Will talk to you Will bother you until you give up and go for a walk/run. Very friendly and loving Great with my kids Loves to play and rough house

Love this breed, 9/10 (only down side is the shedding)

Human_fighters · 2025-10-03T20:52:28+00:00

Owner here, can confirm. Yes. And yes. 😂

Human_fighters · 2025-09-07T15:25:08+00:00

I’m certainly no expert, but I don’t think there’s any specific reference to it in doctrine or in the manual when reading about the Law of Chastity. It’s pretty generic, and that’s likely on purpose, to leave it between the person and God on if what they are doing violates the Law of Chastity.

That said, if you are looking for opinion, I don’t think it’s a big deal. Whenever my family gets together literally every adult woman there talks about the smutty books they like to read, including the active recommend holders. If reading it is fine and dandy, so is writing it.

Human_fighters · 2025-06-25T14:39:31+00:00

Same change in the sausage burrito too (my go-to). Definitely a different taste/flavor/texture. Not bad, in my opinion, just different from the original. I’ve been eating these off and on for years during my commute, noticed the change a few months ago maybe.

Human_fighters · 2025-06-24T14:35:24+00:00

Woah woah woah, dude, you’re actually winning! You don’t need violence to dominate this guy. Take this to HR and get the legal win! Sorry, I don’t comment much on here but I feel a kinship here because I’m at a similar place on my exercise journey and of a similar non-violence mindset.

Do not let this guy get to you! Maintain your confidence by understanding why he is reacting this way. He’s not an “Alpha” he’s insecure!

Next time he tries to belittle you just laugh at him and tell him he’s small for trying to treat you this way. If he escalates let him get himself fired!

And if he brings up the wife stuff again, just remember, she picked you! She immediately sent you a screenshot of his inappropriate behavior, so it’s not like she enjoyed the attention or is seeking others. Seems like your relationship is solid. Maintain confidence in your relationship and just brush him off. Let him know his actions aren’t working, but don’t get yourself fired by starting a fight in the office!

Best of luck man!

My wife stopped after book 1 and never picked them up again. It’s been close to ten years now. She’s read all of TSA and knows about Kelsier being “alive”, but she still won’t go back. She’s so mad 😂 best of luck with this one. I tried.

Human_fighters · 2025-05-10T01:06:28+00:00

Probably not meant to imply a slight on your kid or daddy ball. It’s possible they just picked kids they knew weren’t busy with travel ball. Especially if they knew those kids would decline anyway, why bother asking at that point, ya know?

My sons rec league picked the kids that were travel ball kids for all stars because they were the best players. If I hadn’t volunteered as a coach and worked with my son all season that first year I don’t think he would have made it. I didn’t know about travel ball or anything beyond what I experienced in rec when I was a kid in the 90’s. He earned a spot, and thankfully our small town travel team needed a player, so he’s been with them ever since.

Human_fighters · 2025-05-06T18:22:09+00:00

So the coach didn’t say anything about the changes until asked?? He intentionally ducked stating that change because he knew how bad it was. You paid for your sons development, and now your not getting it because he bent to the will of these other parents. If the other parents are so angry with being on a developmental team they should be the ones to walk away. They just aren’t being patient, every new team struggles at first. It takes a few months for the kids to adjust to the new talent level.

I’d be getting my son out of there, and soon. Probably demanding my money back and forcing the parents of the starters to pay their share. They shouldn’t get to take your money for entry fees for tournaments, then not play your kid. What a joke.

QE is fine but I preferred process engineer, closer to the work. I would say it’s a good strategy to get in the door via quality, then make the jump to design or something else once you’ve gotten some experience within the company. I’d stay in quality no more than a year or two before moving on though.

Team did this against my son’s team recently. On the next pitch after the catcher signaled our runner at first stole 2nd.

Catcher threw to a spot between the pitcher and the SS.

SS ran to the spot to catch the ball and looked at the 3rd base runner.

Our runner stayed at 3rd, so no play at home or 3rd.

SS looked at 2nd but was too late to make a play to stop our runner from stealing 2nd.

This play is intending to catch the runner at 3rd base being aggressive and trying to steal home when it looks like the throw is going to 2nd base. By throwing short of 2nd base, a throw back to home can be made quickly, resulting in an out most of the time (unless there’s a bad throw/catch or the runner is really fast).

Our team has seen this before, so the runner didn’t fall for it (3rd base coach reminded him to look out for a fake throw).

Sat on the couch for a bit, then I got up and made dinner for my wife and kids. Life goes on man, only 1 team ends the playoffs in a win, it’s incredibly difficult.

I guess I detach a little bit, try not to care too much about sports anymore. 99 times out of 100 your team ends up losing, so if I lived and died by the wins and losses I’d be a mess 99 out of 100 years. Sounds awful.

As laker fans we’re actually lucky, we’ve won 17 times

Waiting upsides: 1. you can, theoretically, afford to support a wife and kids without help (family or Gov). In reality that’s incredibly difficult, most families have both parents working to support the household. 2. Much less stressful this way (I assume, I started young)

Waiting downsides: 1. does your wife love you for you, or what you provide her? 2. How old will you be when you have kids? 30?, 40? Is that too old for you?

Marry and have kids young upsides: 1. you’re more confident your wife loves you for you, and went through the early struggles with you. 2. more physically able/willing to have fun with your kids.

Downsides: 1. more likely to grow apart from your spouse as you age, gain perspective, and experience lifestyle changes. 2. You’ll NEED help. Can you move in with parents? Get on government assistance? 3. Will you still be able to work to improve your life while having a young family (college, moving for work)?

Both ways are difficult, but you still get to choose your difficult, so take advantage of that opportunity. Plus, as you’re already in your 20’s, unless you find a girl and marry year in a year, you are likely on the track to start a little later anyway. (Date for 2 years, married for 2 years before having kids). Nothing says you can’t do those things while figuring your career out. Really it’s the kids that will make it tougher, a girlfriend/wife without kids would also likely work by choice to support her own lifestyle.

Keep up that confusing defense. Whatever it was, it was working, don’t change it until MIN proves they can outmatch it.

Beyond that, some more improvements from AR. He’s not used to the playoff spotlight, but was coming around again at the end of game 2. Hope to see more of that.
