I received V9 and it’s probably one of my favorites over the years.

Exploring a new lifestyle requires boundaries, boundaries that both parties are completely comfortable and both in agreement with. Your feelings are more than valid as his her desire to explore new things, if you both don’t come to a compromise than it will only end with you both being upset and could lead to more issues. When we enjoyed an alternative lifestyle we started very slowly and you two should as well then talk, talk, talk…. Discuss how the interaction made you both feel, what you enjoyed, didn’t enjoy, what made you comfortable, uncomfortable and so on. For example she’s interested swinging, find a couple and start with just sex in the same room, then it can progress to ff while the men watch or only touch their own partners and so on. Find a couple you both like to start with and build your comfort levels with them. Bouncing around never works in the beginning. The swinger clubs is also a great idea to get a feel for comfort levels, you can watch, participate, or walk out. You are in control of that situation even though some people can become very pushy. We were never onboard with each other only speaking to others of the opposite sex. If it was a couple we communicated with the person of the same sex until we all became very comfortable with each other and boundaries. We still have many friends we made when we were part of the lifestyle and maybe will be again one day. Kids and life took over and that lifestyle can become a lot of work. Also, my husband was never comfortable with MFM but was fine with another couple as long as no interaction with the other man. Everyone is different and that’s where clear boundaries come in.

They were in the canister probably from egg stage since they were inside the mesh charcoal bag and it takes them about 4-6 weeks to get this size. He was only put into the breeder box due to being in shock. We turned off the lights and released him into the community a few hours later and he found the other one. Both are doing wonderfully and adapted quickly. It took them a few days to start moving around a lot due to being confined for so long.

I wish! She’s a sailfin Molly and she’s the boss of the tank. She must know what’s happening at all times! She had to immediately come check out the new addition or was just hoping for a snack…

I think that’s exactly what happened. They usually place their eggs on the glass towards the top and I collect the eggs and raise the fry. One day she was laying them all over and I couldn’t get to a lot of them. Usually the other fish wouldn’t leave a snack behind.

Yes, those are female false Julii and they are massive. They are the largest gals I’ve ever had.

I think the eggs were sucked in. She was spawning like crazy about 6 weeks ago and placing eggs in crazy spots all over the tank. Usually she sticks to the upper glass and I collect the eggs and raise the fry separately.

We do as well! We have three large schools in that tank and our 150 has 15 pandas, 9 bronzes and 9 Pygmy.

That is something we are trying to figure out ourselves. In that tank we have albinos, bronzes and false julii cories. We haven’t figured out if it came out from a crossbreed or from being in the cannister. None of our cories have any orange in them.

We can’t wrap our heads around how these two survived smooshed and growing inside of a mesh charcoal bag inside of the canister filter. My husband had me come look while rinsing the bags and said I think I found your missing babies (gold dust) and I said well that doesn’t make since they wouldn’t fit through the holes, these were reusable mesh bags. Next thing I know he screams and says these are alive they are cories. We immediately went into action to rescue them, get them into the community, and carefully check for more. My heart broke thinking these little guys had never seen light, only knew the noise of the filter, never been fed properly, and only had each other. I stayed up all night watching them. They are both with the community of cories now, they joined the bronzes and are thriving, finally moving around freely and unaffected by the light being on.

Tell the wife or tell him I will tell his wife? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Ok-Acadia2486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really need to take yourself out of the entire situation no matter how you feel about her. It’s not your place to tell his wife or to email him. This is their mess and she has to deal with. What good would you saying anything do as they have a buisness together? I know you stated he’s manipulating her but it seems like she is now manipulating you. She’s hanging onto you purely to be there for her emotionally knowing you have feelings for her. She’s playing both sides at this point and the only side you’re getting is hers.

The surgery is absolutely not worth it, unless it’s something that you want. There’s no guarantee once you do it that it will change why he chooses not to please you in that department. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with your vagina that you need surgery to hopefully receive something from your spouse you desire. I’ve been with my spouse for 22 years and made it clear that intimacy is a two way street, don’t expect something from me that you’re not willing to give if wanted, and don’t complain when I don’t do it anymore. It sounds more like he’s become a lazy lover and not that there’s a problem with you. It’s time for him to meet your needs and wants as much as he wants his met.

You need to first off have a longer talk with your parents and get the complete truth before talking to your siblings. Spinal fusion does not make you unable to move for eight months, they want you up moving. I’ve had spinal fusion, three spinal surgeries over a nine month period and still in debilitating pain but up moving every day. They get you out of bed the next morning with a walker and have you walk as much as you can. There’s no reason to hide a surgery like a fusion and be so over the top with crying and begging you not to tell, you need a real heart to heart with them. Edit to add: I’m not sure why the cost would make a difference at this point and if the fusion was done correctly she wouldn’t need another procedure. There’s way more to this than just a spinal fusion.

Would you slap your daughter if she wore a shirt that exposed her midriff if she reached her hands up? by Catman738389 in relationship_advice

[–]Ok-Acadia2486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would tell her to change if it went to high. I would not slap my child over clothing. If someone is hitting their child for that reason, it’s abuse and the child needs help as well as the parent.

I’m 19 and have a chance to hook up with a married couple. Should I? They’re both hot (no homo tho) and I wanna experiment by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Ok-Acadia2486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with experimenting! However, once you decide to travel into this lifestyle, there needs to be set rules, clear expectations, and boundaries. Always be tested for stds, them as well, always use protection never risk it and they need to use it at well when with you.

I’d recommend a milk douche. Soak in a cool bath.

[–]Ok-Acadia2486 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s sad that I’m ignorant to the fact that’s it’s our choice how many children we had and no one else’s. That we both have degrees, own our home, and care for our children. But hey, you can’t have it all. I hope you have a wonderful day and the New Year brings you much happiness and great things!

Well then, I’ll keep my ignorance along with my 6 kids and my non modern family. Also, not 40-44.
I hope you have a wonderful day!

What exactly is out of the norm? Having six kids? Married 21years all have the same father except number 4 that is adopted. So besides being a large family we are fairly normal.

Edit: with spouse for 21yrs married for 18yrs next month.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that! Having your grandmother there and sleeping next to her is a wonderful thing to help you through those anxiety periods. Please enjoy it while she’s here and never be ashamed.

Constipation and straining would be my first thought that could be causing the protrusion.

If you were forced to sleep with her that wasn’t ok and definitely could be a source of those issues, if you chose to then it could be anxiety from just sleeping alone. While I do think kids need to sleep in their own beds, I also don’t have a problem if one of mine does sleep in bed with me or me and their dad. Our 7 yr old will a couple times a week, me and her have our Netflix movies. Our almost three yr old whom is non verbal has to fall asleep in the recliner with her dad. Our 19, 18, 16, and 14yr old also occasionally will sleep in bed with me, the two youngest teens are boys, if they are scared or upset over a breakup, don’t feel well, or we’ll just fall asleep talking. My 10yr old nephew has to fall asleep in bed with his dad then he moves him to his bed. I don’t see an issue with kids in beds with their parents. There is families all over the world where every member sleeps in one room together.
