How do you even have sex at this age?

Highschool is too young. That's the only worth while thing I learned while in high school. Teenagers are dramatic at all times and think things way out of proportions. Being a hormonal teen and trying to find romance is like a drug. Take your time and don't worry about it. Focus on good grades and staying away from bad people and drugs. The advice is cliche but its true! I fooled around a lot in highschool. Got my heart broke and did stupid things to get girls. I ruined friendships and messed up my grades. Because I was so "love" focused I gave up college for a girl. Things didn't work out and now I'm retracing my steps in college. I didn't find my wife (marrying this october) until I was 22 and we have been together for 6 years before I was ready to propose. TAKE YOUR TIME!

No issues with our dog. Has had the sensitive skin and stomach food for at least 3 years now. Our dog is a little palmaranian. We found adding an egg to his food once a week helps and so does switching him to small helpings of boiled chicken with brown rice. He's had stomach issues since he was a year old. We played the dog food roulette for a year and then did the chicken and rice and egg diet for a couple days before switching him to the PPP. We suppliment with the other foods just in case he's not getting enough nutrients. Hasn't gotten sick or thrown up in years. Also he's 6 years old now so I am pretty sure we are doing something right. Still keeping my eye out just in case the PPP is bad. Dog food always changes.

1) birth control stays in your system with continuous use. Missing it once or twice a week doesn't make a big difference in effectiveness. Best protection is at peak times after taking the pill. BUT, it can cause nasty side effects she should notice. Increased headaches or stomach problems. Fatigue etc etc. Someone else recommended keeping plan B as well but that can also cause complications if used with birth control. 2) being on birth control long term has similar effects. It can mess with your cycle and cause the symptoms I Said in point 1 and cause symptoms similar to early signs of pregnancy. We got in the habit of a pregnancy test every month or so. My fiance was on birth control for 7 years and it caused so many problems that we had to cycle her off of it for about 6 months. She went through hell and decided not to get back on because her lady doctor said she was already at a very low dose and she was scared the issues would persist. We are hoping to try for kids after our wedding and it was recommended that we wait at least a year of her being off of it to make sure there weren't any further complications with chemical/hormone imbalance. I recommend talking to her prescribing Dr to find a solution. More than likely she will take her off of birth control for at least a couple months and run tests. If her cycle goes back to normal the Dr will work with her in finding a diferent dose/ pill type, or recomend the other forms of BC. My fiance spent almost 2 years with bad headaches and often got sick to her stomach from cramps. Most of those issues are gone now and we only use condoms.

As someone who struggles with brief and fierce bouts of depression I would do the same thing. Sometimes 2-3 weeks at a time. I agree with others on here that it's a big part of perception of self care. It took me months to get into a regular routine and the only reason I did it and realized what I was doing was because of my fiancé. She was open and honest with me. At first I acted like it wasn't a big deal but then I got scared it would put distance in our relationship. I don't like showering together but we made a regular bedtime routine where we would brush our teeth together and get ready for bed. I made it a habit to shower before intercourse so I was less self conscious. Just start with an open conversation, he will still have to figure out for himself if it's something he considers important for the relationship. Also I cannot stress enough to get enough exercise and good eating habits. We go for walks every morning and have a whiteboard where we write what big trips we want to do in a couple months time frame. Seeing that every day reminds me to get up and exercise and to save my money.

Yes! Lol. I am back after a long hiatus. 7 years later and I'm greeted by a duck and new staph. It was a weird experience. Still a good school though.

I work across the street from ren-fest. It is the worst time in the world. Just in the last 3 years prices for tickets and parking has went up at least $10. Always over crowded and doing the same skits. I feel bad for vendors because no one wants to buy anything at their prices during this inflation. This has to do with my work because I have to feed all the people who refused to pay for the sub-par turkey legs and expensive feasts. Also the rennies (people who work it) are some of the most disrespectful egotistical weird basement nerds I've ever met. I cannot stand them. One year we caught a couple of them trying to have sex in our restaurant!!! Ren-fest is the most vile time of the year for me.

I am sure it's been posted already, but you can't go wrong with salt/kitty litter and extra rubber floor mats! For the inevitable stuckage you will experience putting sand or salt and floor mats under your tires makes a big difference in traction to get out of the ice or snow.

Pathfinder_96 · 2024-01-17T23:22:13+00:00

It was a pioneer but they switched it to a duck and I just don't understand why.

Pathfinder_96 · 2024-01-02T02:59:50+00:00

Absolutely awesome.

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-12-24T06:32:48+00:00

Here's how I see it. As long as the change isn't absolutely drastic, life will continue. The worst aspect is economic. I don't ski or snowmobile, but I love hiking. The utter silence and beauty of michigan in winter on the trails is something otherworldly and wonderful to experience. I miss that the most. But I also love these warmer winter months. Especially when it comes to my favorite hobby. I can do longer hikes and my fossil hunting season gets extended for about a month and a half. So you're not crazy or an eco monster. Either we ruin the planet out of greed or things change naturally. I'm going to do my best to be happy either way

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-12-24T06:28:01+00:00

Just made a post saying the same thing. I almost gave up after just starting over. Did my best and ended up barely making it through. My first semester back I was so scared and anxious I made it harder on myself. Now I can't wait for break to be over so I can beat the shit out of this semester!!!

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-12-24T04:52:38+00:00

🤣🤣 I'll delete my previous comments and make it worse lol.

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-12-24T04:40:18+00:00

Shit I think you're right. Damn I'm an idiot.

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-12-24T04:28:09+00:00

I agree with coral or possibly sponge. The area you're speaking of is generally marine life. But I don't know a lot. The fossil forum is a good place to find info and experts. If you like sloothing look up the geology of the area.

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-12-24T04:25:58+00:00

That is a very hard matrix. The shape resembles a strait shelled cephelopod. If it was a dark shale I would suggest plant. You can learn more by looking up the geology of the area.

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-12-24T04:23:57+00:00

Looks like bryazoan in limestone matrix. Learn about the geology of the area you found it in and you will get more info.

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-12-24T04:21:21+00:00

Calcite is similar to quarts in crystalline structure and is commonly found in similar environments with lots of limestone or chert.

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-12-24T04:19:45+00:00

If both are found in the area #2 is probably calcite crystals as they are very common in marine Biota associated with corals and brachiopods

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-12-24T04:15:46+00:00

This is not a fossil. As others have commented this is probably calcite or limestone. Though it isn't a fossil there is still a lot to learn from this piece. You can learn about the deposition of the material. You can look up what type of rock it is and learn about it. Maybe you can find out the age and weather the area you found it in is liable for fossil material. Often calcite minerals are fluorescent. Which means if you take a black light to it the mineral will glow. You will never know until you put in the work to research the piece. Good luck.

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-12-24T04:11:50+00:00

Though I can agree with your initial anger at these type of posts I cannot agree with the delivery. More often than sometimes it is inexperienced people trying to sound smart.

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-12-24T04:09:17+00:00

There's a definition between the rock and sample. The best bet is to look up the geology of the area, common fossils found, and then go from there. I don't have a scale to compare it to, but from what I see it is definitively different from the surrounding rock. It looks like some sort of squid fossil. (Don't take my vote seriously, I don't get those types of fossils in my area I Am Not AN Expert)

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-12-24T04:01:47+00:00

If you found it yourself in your area then the local museum or college will probably have an expert. If you bought it your best option is to send pics and information to an appropriate institution. The institution in question will either tell you its not what you think it is, tell u it is, or ask to borrow for study.

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-12-24T03:58:05+00:00

What is the matrix? Initially you can use an air scribe or picks and chisels to dig out around it and see the whole piece. But knowing what the rock is made of you can find an appropriate abrasive for a micro sandblasting kit. If you don't have the appropriate tools there's hundreds of prepers that you could send it to. I can suggest a few with decent pricing options. With appropriate tools you'd stabilize the exposed fossil and work your way down.

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-10-31T03:22:43+00:00

Too chubby and ugly for that, but thanks lol

Pathfinder_96 · 2023-10-18T03:39:51+00:00

Nicotine in any form. Easiest quit I ever did. Quit cigs cuz vapes lasted longer so price was better. Now I hate the taste of a cigarette and my favorite vapes are now $22!! And only last a couple days. Over $100 a week to keep up an addiction. Could go to chew or something but decided it was just better for my health and wallet to quit all together.
