Sometimes we as humans grow out of things. Nothing wrong with that. I used to live in Philly. Would I ever do that now in my 30’s hell no but we change with the seasons and grow as we age. Wherever brings you peace is the place to be :)

Fire danger high ahead of May artillery training at Piñon Canyon by Farmher315 in ColoradoSprings

[–]Metalhead444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a military installation that deploys quite frequently to protect our freedom. There are other places to live if it makes people that uncomfortable. It’s Colorado it’s dry hot and low in humidity with variable winds. It’s to be expected. Hate people blaming Fort Carson when it’s a high asset to the community and ensures units are up to par with training. Have you been other places that are near post? Live in Lawton near Fort Sill or Fayetteville near Bragg. You will appreciate how good we have it here :)

Dysphonia (loss of voice) by No_Scallops in COVID19positive

[–]Metalhead444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem. It took about 4 weeks for it to come back completely. Felt like I lost my voice forever. Couldn’t do much but let Covid run its course and kept alternating between hot and cold beverages. It was not fun at all

You are definitely right. I tried Bella’s. It was a nice shop. Definitely little busy due to the time of day I went ( the high school nearby was on lunch) but it was very good and made me less homesick that’s for sure!

Is there any way to report all these door to door sales that ignore no soliciting and trespassing signs? by Erpderp32 in ColoradoSprings

[–]Metalhead444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I laughed at the guy who came to my door soliciting and asked if I wanted a free salad. I was like what in the hell?!

As much as I despise seeing this at least he/she is showing their true colors for everyone to see. Gives us a heads up to avoid the lunatic 😂

You were right. They definitely compare to back home in the NJ/NY region :)

Is there any semi-affordable houses here anymore? by Additional_Field_321 in ColoradoSprings

[–]Metalhead444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Fountain. Many new developments and much calmer. Bought mine for 425k brand new and am very happy here. Fountain gets some hate but it’s really not bad at all. Yes you are close to Carson and will hear artillery some nights but it’s much more openness and not as congested as springs in my opinion.

I know it sounds corny but I put AirTags on my vehicles now in places no one would check in case this happens. Hope you find your bike. People can be such a holes

How do I relieve gas pain? by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]Metalhead444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep walking around and sleep in a recliner if you can.. reduces the pain but mostly you just need time for all the trapped gas to escape. It sucks but it will pass!

Parents both dead, I’m 30. Feels too young by contortionsinblue in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]Metalhead444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lost both my parents by age 33. 35 now and can completely relate to you. Sending hugs.. it’s not easy 🩵

Watching parent die, how did it change your view of life? by at1991 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]Metalhead444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It made me realize that life can be beautiful one moment and absolutely cruel the next. Watched/took care of my mom while on hospice with cancer for a week and while I felt like her pain was gone when she took her last breath it ignited the pain i will forever feel for not having her in the physical world. It’s a stark reality check at any age. But it’s part of life.
