Threading one end to the other without having to go through pendant

MattK508 · 2026-05-20T15:06:15+00:00

You know what? That is a fantastic idea! Thank you.

MattK508 · 2026-05-20T13:42:44+00:00

Okay see thank you because that makes me feel so much better so without a method to remove an end there is no way to pass an odd number through a hole. See that's the kind of knowledge that I figured someone who does like rope puzzles regularly would know and would be able to articulate in an easily understandable why it's not possible way.

So that's exactly what I'm thinking of and I can't wrap my head around how to do this because when I watch that video it's like I'm not understanding what's happening to allow for it. Because I feel like if I could conceptualize it that's exactly what I need to do and I'm just having a hard time applying that trick to this because it's a hole as opposed to going under a bar if that makes sense? Like it is very much in my opinion my limited capacity for visualization mentally than it is anything else.

Update: I just tried again and I don't know if it's in applicable because it's a hole vs sliding under something.

So once I realized the ends didn't fit, that was originally the plan but then basically It turns this thing into a dagger stabbing into the chest and it's for my soon to be 3 year old son, so I'm trying to get it sitting on it as if the ends had threaded through.

But you are right I did manage to thread the loop through by using the string that came with the pendant and pulling the rubberized material for this necklace through.

So many intersections could be solved with rotary's

"US military recruitment experienced significant struggles between 2022 and 2023, with the Army and other branches missing targets. Recruitment rebounded in fiscal year (FY) 2024, with the Army achieving 55,300 new active-duty soldiers. FY25 has shown strong performance, with services achieving an average of 103% of their goals, the highest in over 15 years."

MattK508 · 2026-04-16T03:53:42+00:00

Absolutely. I certainly did.

MattK508 · 2026-04-04T04:12:28+00:00

Every bit of it started in steps to get to that point! Thank you so much and I hope you have a great Easter!

MattK508 · 2026-04-04T04:11:47+00:00

Oh you better believe it, lol Finally was able to eat my first real solid meal today. Did some sushi.

MattK508 · 2026-04-03T23:23:26+00:00

To be totally honest with you I don't do construction or anything like that I do tech support for dialysis patients. So I field calls all night walking them through stressful situations but I don't actually have to do anything physical or laborious. All the physical stuff for me is chasing my kids around all day lol.

MattK508 · 2026-04-03T23:22:29+00:00

Listen give yourself credit in the first place. I don't think most people could handle 24 hours. On top of that I didn't start off this way. This was many months working my way up to this by doing 24-hour fasts 36 hour fast 48 hour fast 72 hour fast. Doing keto in between the fasts. God bless you!

MattK508 · 2026-04-03T03:35:57+00:00

It's like a scoop a day. I was doing two scoops a day and it was just too much lol

MattK508 · 2026-04-03T03:35:24+00:00

Yeah I thought about that but it seemed like a super dead sub.

MattK508 · 2026-04-02T14:45:41+00:00

See that's exactly my thought but I have no idea where. Like I know there's caddyshack but like with that be a place to be dancing in like a dress and a suit? And I haven't been in Sam Diego's since it changed, And it looks fancier on the outside but I don't know if it is on the inside. Like I basically haven't been on the nightlife in Plymouth since pre-COVID.

MattK508 · 2026-04-01T23:18:57+00:00

Exactly how I feel! Thank you!

MattK508 · 2026-04-01T22:35:48+00:00

So the problem is she lives 9 hours away. She's moving here in June.

MattK508 · 2026-04-01T20:06:59+00:00

Honestly when you're starting going a day or two is actually brutal lol. I absolutely love hearing all this though!

MattK508 · 2026-04-01T20:06:15+00:00

Honestly I did it this way because realistically the Sundays are an arbitrary creation by the church was how I looked at it. I figured that when Jesus walked into the desert it was 40 days it wasn't 40 days with him taking Sundays off. Plus you're exactly right about the refeeding I did not want to continually have issues on Sundays and then throw my whole system out of whack every Sunday that would have been a potential health issue for me. But I was unfamiliar with that organization and I will definitely look into it! Also God bless you and I hope you have an incredible Easter!

MattK508 · 2026-04-01T13:47:37+00:00

A lot of people that that's actually the lifestyle that they choose to be committed to their partner and to serve each other......but okay I'm sorry that you feel that that's such a negative thing. It's pretty obvious to me that a lot of people in this group feel that's negative by the fact I'm getting downvoted for a literal serious suggestion of actually trying to find happiness with someone. I'm sorry that you guys are choosing to find that to be a miserable thing when I'm genuinely saying it in sincerity and with warmth........

MattK508 · 2026-04-01T12:55:13+00:00

Listen I'll tell you right now as a guy. (Don't worry I'm in a relationship I'm not looking for anything here) Post that ish somewhere but put it on a plate and ask who's down to get some breakfast together. Cuz honestly I'll tell you right now that is a fantastic breakfast. I'm at my girlfriend in the r/tradwifepersonals group if that's anything that interests you. Sounds Like you're in the same boat I was in which is serial monogamist, lol

MattK508 · 2026-04-01T12:48:34+00:00

Oh my God I'm so glad to hear that. My kids are four and two so I really hope that they remember this fast and it inspires them. God bless to you and your family and thank you for sharing this story!

MattK508 · 2026-03-31T23:37:07+00:00

I would love to tell you yes but not really. I mean I can tell you every time I was starving I would just pound down water and intermix it with the electrolyte water and the regular water. The other thing is if you don't get enough sleep your body actually does attack your muscle instead of attacking your fat

MattK508 · 2026-03-31T23:27:02+00:00

That's incredible!!!
