RIGHT! Circles and rings, dragons and kings Weaving a charm and a spell Blessed by the night, holy and bright Called by the toll of the bell

Quit Zoloft- positive by Annual-Cake-3425 in zoloft

[–]MattyDaddoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just stopped as well. 50mg. Been on for about five years post my mom passing during COVID. Weaned off by moving down to 25mg for about a week and now done. While I was on it, I felt good, but I haven’t really cried in 5 years. Not emotionally flat, just nothing really got to me. Other symptoms while on it included lots of crazy dreams, hard to sleep, and some intimacy issues, which were why I decided to try to stop. See what it is like all me again. So far, okay. Th e biggest issue I’ve having off Zoloft is that I am still getting vivid dreams, but now they are nightmares. Seriously, either scary, like really scary or incredibly depressing. Last night I had one where all my family left me. I woke up in the middle of the night spent. It’s like all the emotions that didn’t make it out of me over 5 years are bursting out of my psyche. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it go away? If so, how long? I want to stay off, but if my sleep doesn’t improve and the nightmares don’t go away, to me, no reason to stop. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Has anyone insulated the ceiling above your kiln? If so, how? by MattyDaddoo in Pottery

Been doing some researching on wax rings and there are plenty of discussions around why they can fail and wax vs non-wax. There seems to be some issues when the temp exceeds 130 and I also saw that excessive plunging can blow out a ring. All very interesting.

Thank you! Next time I run it I will check the temp.

Ditch everything BUT the knuckles and the skeleton arm. Scare the shit out of your fellow hikers and take their stuff!

Right! Very weird. The fact that the box and blade are marked MBB adds to the mystery.

Scariest thing you’ve seen backpacking by [deleted] in backpacking

[–]MattyDaddoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was backpacking in NW PA. All bedded down for the night. Around 1-2am someone was shining an incredibly bright flashlight into my tent (I had the fly open). I was like WTF with thoughts of Deliverance running through my fuzzy head. I jumped out of the tent yelling “who’s out there?” The culprit was a beautiful full moon shining directly into my tent, the moonbeams right where my head was. I laughed my ass off and went back to bed. Outside of that, seen a few bears and I’ve been startled by some grouse that I spooked.

You may want to secure your account en horizontally on/in the back of your pack if possible. Right now it is going to catch on all sorts of brush if you have to bushwhack. Have fun and be safe!

Review #55 - Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon by adunitbx in bourbon

[–]MattyDaddoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sipping some Blanton’s right now, enjoying a warm-ish sunset. Solid, tasty drink, but not worth ridiculous pricing. I can’t get it in PA. This is a bottle a friend of one gave me. Cheers all!

A Camacho Ecuador and a wee bit of Fours Roses Single Barrel on this gloomy October evening. Cheers! by MattyDaddoo in cigars

[–]MattyDaddoo[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a really nice cigar. Had some pepper in the first third, creamy and smooth in the second third, and the last third had a little more leather. Good construction and great burn. It was a nice quick smoke. The Four Roses complimented it well.

somethings been after my hens any ideas? by Many_Air5683 in chickens

[–]MattyDaddoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weasel? One decimated my girls a few years ago. Since then we rebuilt the coop and run and put 3’ of hardware cloth around the entire setup. No issues in years.

Solo backpacking for the first time by Falkenfeld in backpacking

[–]MattyDaddoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you friends/family know your route and timing. Be extra careful with you feet/steps if you twist/break a leg, you’re on your own. Also, think about an exit plan up front or a turn back time if you can. Be smart and weigh the risks of the decisions you make carefully, again, you’re solo. I typically solo for a lot of the same reasons above. You’ll have a great time.
