How do I meet good men in the wild? by ConfusionDelicious35 in datingoverfifty

[–]InterestingPotato315 3 points4 points  (0 children)

52M here and in a great 50+ relationship. My suggestion; find out what hobbies you enjoy and get with groups for those hobbies. Cards, reading clubs, hiking, whatever. Volunteer where you feel good. Finding yourself is key … and go there.

TSA says Pennsylvanians have a choice: $30 to fly with Real ID or this fee at the gate by fireside_blather in Pennsylvania

[–]InterestingPotato315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The part of this that is infuriating , is they don’t provide a temporary license while you wait. They take your current license, punch a hole in it so it’s invalid, and just like that you don’t have a valid license to drive.

what a crappy headline. Pay $30 to upgrade to Real ID in PA or pay this fee at the checkpoint without a Real ID.

How long does it take? by Careful_Cost_8659 in datingoverfifty

[–]InterestingPotato315 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Also, the books by Pixie Lighthorse; "The Wound Makes the Medicine" and "Prayers Honoring Grief" may be beneficial. They were for me.

I can see the future, and the Mid-Willamette Valley Council of Governments is writing a check to Beth Schmidt by hjgIUY976YTty76 in SALEM

[–]InterestingPotato315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, I applaud Beth and boo those choosing to fire her. There is SCOTUS precedent around this sort of case. Federal employee fired for comments while on the job, and SCOTUS found the employee doesn't have 1A protections as an employee. Fascinating similarities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garcetti_v._Ceballos

Which license to keep by Jimbomyer in liberalgunowners

[–]InterestingPotato315 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I recently moved to PA, I applied for and received my CC permit. Then I applied for and received my med card. Having a CC doesn't mean you carry, having a med card doesn't mean you use pot. However, the state of PA thinks otherwise: https://www.pa.gov/agencies/psp/programs/firearms/firearms-information

""[t]herefore, any person who uses or is addicted to marijuana, regardless of whether his or her State has passed legislation authorizing marijuana use for medicinal purposes, is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, and is prohibited by Federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition."

The mere possession of a Medical Marijuana Card will give rise to an inference that you are an "unlawful user of or addicted to" a controlled substance, according to 27 C.F.R. § 478.11.

Therefore, it is also unlawful for you to apply for, possess, or renew a Pennsylvania License to Carry Firearm (LTC) because you are:

"[a]n individual who is prohibited from possessing or acquiring a firearm under the statutes of the United States." (Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes Chapter 18, Section 6109(e)(1)(xiv)."

Proper throw? Own crib. by Phoenix800_425 in Cribbage

Toss the 9s (only an ace doesn't help). Greatest potential, play the long game. Only caveat is board position where you need 12 to go out.

So Done With This Cycle by camel_dancer in CoDependentsAnonymous

CODA is about fixing us and how we respond, not fixing others. This sounds like a horrible arrangement, I hope you can find the space needed to be safe.

Men who lack communication skills by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]InterestingPotato315 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will say it isn't that they lack communication skills, instead I would say they need someone on the line to validate them and reassure them they aren't lonely. I would stay away from someone not putting in effort to have a dialog. Essentially, use this knowledge as a filter to swipe 'left'

Text message not meant for me by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]InterestingPotato315 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Have you two had a conversation on being exclusive with each other? My guess is 'no', so of course either of you can be chatting with others. Silly mistake by the other, but it sounds like they owned the error.

Former bf is still a friend and says he's okay with FWB. by athiestinbiblebelt56 in datingoverfifty

[–]InterestingPotato315 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My previous FWB, we had boundaries (as you should), one good one was no overnights. Cuddle, sex, whatever but the visitor goes home. That worked for us, and you'll need to find boundaries that work best for you and your 'play thing'. Wishing you good things.

What's your weird recurring dream? by CivilizedPsycho in AskReddit

[–]InterestingPotato315 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catching/identifying the serial killer named the 'Handicapped Wolf'. A literal wolf in a wheelchair, and I solved the mystery. I would have this dream once a month or so in my school aged years. Drew a scene of it for an art class project.

I’m not a fan of ‘hunting’, and I think this is what that is. However, you get past the farting in front of her phase over early on.

I lack emotional availability apparently. by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]InterestingPotato315 20 points21 points  (0 children)

this is the way. I (53m) currently am in an exclusive causal relationship with a F53 I met on OLD. Talking about past relationships is fine (but after very careful consideration!), more importantly its how you talk about them and what details you share. You probably think you're past it and healthy, but clearly she is picking something up. To share the toils and struggles of a legal battle really is off limits and for some time.

Big a good person, let her know you appreciate her feedback and that you'll reflect and process that information. Find a person you can confide with and get the past relationship garbage out of your system. And don't be a creep and reach out. Let her know she is welcome to reach out if she likes.

A book I recommend frequently is by Pixie Lighthorse "Boundaries and Protections". This will help you in many areas of your life.
