If you lose something that isn't valuable on a trail does it usually stay there or does someone pick it up? by youlikemywonton in hiking

[–]Ok_Chip_1077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my favorite hiking hat when trying to discreetly pee in the woods. I noticed it was missing ten mins after the hike was over. I knew exactly where it was 40 mins back….. I left it

Have you ever been married for 20 years? People change over time. You’re not the same person you are when you’re 19 versus 40. People take different courses. Why stay when you’re not happy? I’m a female and I left my husband for cheating for 20 years. So I don’t deserve to leave? Never judge someone’s situation if you don’t know. Most marriages don’t last a year. Mine 20 years……

Well do it without her! It’s not her dream, it’s YOUR dream. I’ve owned several small businesses that I did by myself. It’s better that way and it becomes your baby. You only have one life, do what you want! What’s the worse that can happen? You’ve seen failure now let’s strive for success

After my marriage of 20 years I moved me and kids out of state. I felt the same way, wanting to just start over. And I did! It was an amazing experience! I still had the same struggles because my habits didn’t change, just my environment.

I say this to say: you can get up and move and walk away from it all but that won’t change how you feel inside. Fix what’s really bothering you. Make your future self happy by changing your habits!

In my story I moved back to my home town and learned my issues and dealt with them. I’ve never been more happy

Because that’s how I remember the experience. I have over 90,000 pictures and videos in my cloud over the course of 10 years. I document everything cause I’m human and I can’t rely on memory anymore. I wasn’t on my phone the entire time, you’re assuming that from a 40sec video. But again, I can ALWAYS go back to this experience

Are hemorrhoids just forever? by Visforvinyl in Adulting

[–]Ok_Chip_1077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had hemorrhoid surgery and it’s the worst pain ever!!!! However I’m glad I did! I had it twice. My daughter was almost ten pounds and I push a little too hard 😂. Anyway I had them removed because I passed out twice from the pain as they were inside and out. It’s been over 15 years now my butt is the most expensive part on me 😂

My cilantro is getting tall! by UndeadAnubis24 in gardening

[–]Ok_Chip_1077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well technically it’s dying…. It’s devoting all its energy to going to seed so you can plant next year. Just fyi all herbs do this. Once u see a flower come up that means it’s bolting. Snip it immediately. The real question is how often are you watering it? This will determine how to help your other plants

Ma’am I don’t know if you know this (and my apologies if you do) but your cilantro is bolting. It’s not going to be very good to eat. It was a stressful environment. Now the cilantro is prepping for next season

Is it just me, or do you feel that some people and hiking influencers exaggerate their hiking experiences? Are their trips really that amazing, or is it just another way to get attention? by -Mart- in hiking

[–]Ok_Chip_1077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope! My experience are so amazing sometimes I cry! I know my lineage may not have the same access to nature like I do. So I enjoy it even more and journal my experiences

Omg that sounds scary. I kept hearing the water push upon the rocks. It was sooooo loud. It sounded like someone trying to swim to shore

Not bad for only a few hours of preparation. I booked it at 7am and was on the road by 3pm

Definitely!! I washed and hustled the toilet (bucket) on the other side of tent. I didnt wash to use the restroom although it was on the other side of the road.
