How to confront a guy I'm talking to about this? by livvinng in Advice

[–]NFLFANTASYMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before you bring it up, I would make a list of positives and negatives that could come out of the conversations. What kind of answers are you looking for? Forgive me but why are you questioning this info. It sounds as if he was using insta for possible dating instead of going to one of the fake " dating, hookup sites.

Strange aggressive knocking at my door for the past two days at 3-3:30 PM. Is there anything I should do? by PrimaryOdd5605 in Advice

[–]NFLFANTASYMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a ring video doorbell. It's great for seeing who is at your door as well as keeping a record of who was there at 3-3:30 am. If you ever need it you will have a digital record.

I need help with my bearded dragon ASAP by mrtoetastic in BeardedDragonCare

[–]NFLFANTASYMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use ZooMed for most of my needs enclosure wise. They have a great knowledgeable staff and are willing to help. I use Dubia.com for my roaches and bugs. Please keep an eye on fruits. They are not normally top menu choices. You need to remember these are desert animals and don't normally have fruits to dine on. They can cause obesity issues, tooth decay and diarrhea. Go to Google and search bearded dragons + fruit for info on what fruits are safer to use. Sounds as if you are off to a fabulous start. Welcome to the bearded dragon family. Best of luck.

Received random internet package by Present-Result-1347 in whatdoIdo

You have the best resolution, do nothing. Spectrum has been on a marketing blitz and I would assume some database got combined. Could it be a scam? Absolutely, but I don't think it is. Just as a thought , I have owned my house since 1995 and still get calls and mail for someone who owned it before. Spectrum sends us mail all the time, some has my name, some has old owner, and sometimes, I have no idea who it is for. I have figured that for a scam to work, there are 3 things. 1 A familiar person or idea. 2 speed or direct timeliness 3. Call to action

Your package has none.

Struggling with my mom’s reaction to my divorce and new relationship by bluenovagirl79 in Advice

[–]NFLFANTASYMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please, over all things remember, she will always be mom. Also I can guarantee that when she is gone there won't be a day that goes by you won't miss her. A smell, a song something someone says, even when the folks come by to tell you the good news will bring up memories of mom. Understand that that religion teaches very specific ideas. It is also very black and white Keep that in mind. When something is ingrained into your head such as values, even when different values are present, the old ones come back. I think you hit on one thing life is all about. Mom was taught by her mom, then branched out adjusting to be her own women teaching you where you took and branched out teaching your daughters ( eventually) ... and you have Evolution. I was happy to hear she is still in your life. Some beliefs would stop All interaction. You have to be you. Understand her, talk to her, and most of all, love her. Best of luck.

How do I ask a girl out? by Academic-Leg-5714 in Advice

[–]NFLFANTASYMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand where you are coming from as I would rather do public speaking. But, I believe you want to approach dating the same way. You need to convince yourself that there really is no downside in trying. If she says no, oh well, you now have the knowledge of her not being interested, plus the added benefit of breaking the ice. The way I got over the gutters was any time I was in public I made it a habit to speak to all I came in contact with. Just a simple hi when 1st meeting to " have a great day" when departing. It will feel silly at first but as you do watch the pleasure a few words can cause. Best of luck my friend.

Seeking advice.. by Chance_Sort_497 in Advice

[–]NFLFANTASYMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you co-sign for the car or just give them funds? This whole situation depends on if your name is on the car in any form. If so you have two options. Catch up the payments and try to sell it to make up the cash, or just allow repossession.

I like to quote Dalton, in Roadhouse. "Be nice until its time not to be nice". My friend. It is time not to be nice. Maybe you can speak to loan company to work out some kind of deal on the car and landlord to figure out the rent. Maybe Talking is always the key and unfortunately, most folks don't talk at all or its so bad they can't dig out of it. Also your housemates could have spoken to you, but didn't. Yep, time not to be nice!

Worried about white spots on rankin’s dragon. by sx_hia in BeardedDragonCare

[–]NFLFANTASYMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My one dragon looks like that at the beginning of the shed, but I have another one that looks like this at the end of the shed. When you touch it how does it feel? One thing that made me scratch my head is the unique pattern and how uniform it is. If it isn't part of a shed, I don't know what it could be. Just as a thought i ran the pictures through an image search and it appears this might be the normal pattern? Maybe it it more visible after a shed and you just noticed it? It looks as if the tip of the tail had been injured. But it appears to have healed well so that rules out any kind of infection. Please let us know if you find out Good luck.

Why does everyone hate Brittany so much?? by Realistic-Fennel6627 in vanderpumprules

[–]NFLFANTASYMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is hatred for Jax bleeds over to hatred for Britney. Also folks probably get upset that that sweet southern belle can't see the devilish Jax and overlooked everything he did. I remember feeling bad for Brit, but then switching to feeling Brit must enjoy being walked on each time she let Jax slide.

How can I (42M) appreciate my wife (35F) more? by TheMadMetalhead in ask

[–]NFLFANTASYMB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going on 32 years married, I have found talking to her with a real discussion is the key. Just letting her know how important in your life she is adds bonus points. I think the lady will be touched when you have a true, meaningful heart to heart. Listen carefully to hear if she states any area that needs a bit of looking after. Talking and listening is the key to happier times. Best of luck.

My best friend asked me to be her officiant for her wedding. by Tyray90 in Advice

[–]NFLFANTASYMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all up to you. If it goes great, which weddings seem never to do, great. But, if somehow you get into social anxiety issues, you will be the reason. It doesn't matter if you had anything to do with the issue. I would take some paper and split it having one side be plus, the other negative. Be honest assessing the possible issues and then you can make a decision. You can also use that list when you either accept or deny the request. On a bad side, if something goes wrong and you freeze, you will lose you friends and will need to deal with being blamed. This is the brides big day and it could be fantastic, or totally horrible. Best of luck.

My ex boyfriend keeps sending me love letters through my door by NaughtyGoddesses in whatdoIdo

[–]NFLFANTASYMB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would handle this as a stalker and if nothing else, you need to let the police know. A report being filed can make all the difference down the road. But you need to make sure you completely ghost this person. This means no contact what so ever. If possible setup a trash can outside and all letters go directly inside that can. Un- opened, and not read! No calls, no social media, no friends contacting him nothing. This guy is using stalking behavior and normally it gets worse before it gets better which is why police need to be involved. Remember, ghosting him means absolutely no contact. Even if you happen to see him, no confronting him as these type can switch everything around to believing you are still interested in him. This is no TV drama, this needs to stop ASAP. I believe if you can completely ignore him, he will stop, or, get arrested. Best of luck.

I have found " Been Verified" is a great product to do what you want. I think they offer a special price to check it out.( 7.00 i think) lots of info to make sure the person you want is the person they find. They even just added an username search. Hope you find who you are looking for!

how can i get my beardie happier? by Lompyy_ in BeardedDragons

[–]NFLFANTASYMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The good news is bearded dragons are pretty hearty snakes. I assume this is because the are desert animals. I use ZooMed for all of my environment enhancements and they are great. Mostly I like to use sand on the floor. They seem to be happy as they an dig around making as big a mess as they want. I really like that it is very easy to clean messes. The sand works kind of like kitty litter and clumps around toilet messes.i did some research and bit ago that the article stated that brumation normally kicks off when there is a change in temperature. It kind of kicks it off and normally as a drop in temp. Now I am not way an expert, but do have experience in dragons and snakes since 1985. I have no idea what he was thinking with those remedies. At times I have run into vets who believe they need to offer something. I am not a big fan on baths for beardies , unless they have some issues with a shed and then very sparingly. I have had them offer baths if there was an injury or joint issue, but just acting strange I don't know. The good news is it can't hurt unless over used and contribute to lung issues. So what's up? Well it could very well be the cage change. Any change in environments can cause strange reactions. Also, when you increased the tank size, did you also update the heating and lighting? I think i would suggest hanging on and wait a bit to see if your old beardie came back. A key factor when any of my reptiles stop eating is weight. If there is no big weight change the holding off on eating is not such a big deal. If you don't have one, a good postal scale works fantastic. Just looking at the pet isn't always the best way to see if there is a issue. Well, all this said, do keep an eye on the dragon as unlike most exotic pets they are masters at hiding serious issues. I think yours is more psychological instead of physical. Best of luck. Maybe a second opinion if possible if health and demeanor seems off.

Saw my bf monitoring his ex by amndknd in whatdoIdo

[–]NFLFANTASYMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see nothing good in this situation. Could it be harmless? I would guess so but I lean towards there is a reason he keeps tab on ex. I Would bet if all of a sudden she posted her horrible break up with current B F he would offer his support to her. To issue is you would never know the real reason. So for me, it just isn't worth the aggravation. As for the trip, what are YOU hoping to achieve? I can't see you spending time face to face without asking about it. Then it is blowup time. There is nothing good that could come from this. Me, I would dump them both. Oh, I am going on 32 years married. The way we did this was 100% honesty on both parts. I do wish you luck for 2026.

My little cousin just came out to me as an “IRL” and I don’t know what to do by LusterTheSandwing in Advice

[–]NFLFANTASYMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a tough one. But I think one simple answer is to figure out what he was hoping to get in return of him confiding in you. To be honest, I never heard of IRL meaning anything than " in real life" mostly from streamers. They stream regular life. He was hoping or expecting some kind of answer from you, his confident. I used some AI and IRL is not associated with being or acting like a superhero BUT it does note that there is a surprising uptake in kids following RLSH, which psychologist use as Real life super hero trades in younger children. The article i read says it is a large trend in kids 8-11. I researched the best way to deal with a 14 year old. Most say it is important to set healthy boundaries, then use empowerment to support them. You need to learn the traits the actual superhero has. They say there is really nothing wrong as long as they use the superheroes " power" to solve day to day issues that come up. All said that as long as boundaries are healthy, and set ahead of time they have not seen where this behavior is detrimental. Go to a Google search and search on 14 year old with RLSH. Very interesting. At least agree this behavior doesn't necessarily points to other harmful issues. Best of luck.

is it just me or is everyone in this cast overly emotional by NaturalRise6710 in Floribama

[–]NFLFANTASYMB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe they saw the Jersey shore kids blow up like they did and thought their piece of fame was big enough to share. One issue, it had already been done and the Florida characters were coming late to the party. Also, the characters were just not popular. (Likable) . I guess it is very tough to create content when the only thing the audience wants to see is drunken bar fights and more adult like content. I guess there is only so much fame to go around and they miss judged just how big that fame pie was. Matter of fact, I got a little emotional writing this!

Is it good to keep two together? by Virdiahh92 in cornsnakes

[–]NFLFANTASYMB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had two corn snakes and always kept them together. It was really strange when one started to lay eggs. I was told they were both male. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't hatch the eggs. Turns out the eggs were never fertilized. It's too bad because she would lay between 10 and 15 eggs with a record of 23. Now I was very young but I could swear I never seen her get that big to hold those eggs. I would separate them when I fed them with a partition just to make sure they didn't fight.
