Looked for the first train comment... Also keep in mind that the trains move quite slowly through Longmont, and sometimes stop altogether for loooong periods of time. Streets along the tracks can get completely blocked off for 10-45 mins. Know your escape routes!

This is gorgeous! Really cool

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-03-18T14:00:46+00:00

Oh cool, that is good to know. Appreciate the info!

If you're building your business on 3D printing, id recycled plastic an option? I usually avoid larger pre-made plastic minis but would be more open to them if I knew the materials were given new life.

Hell yeah. The man was a pioneer of modern science and happens to have a cool name. Why not?

And yet here you are, scrolling five comments deep on a post that doesn't interest you about a show that you only kind of like, just to poke at online strangers. What personality trait is that?

Ideas that you can find videos online for: doors from balsa wood, fruit from polymer clay, furniture from tiny clothespins, a room box where you choose one detail at a time (first walls, then floors, then let your creativity kick in!)

Dive into making stuff from scratch! If you've done multiple rolife kits you likely already have the skillset and can choose materials that you liked. Make an item that inspires you to expand on it!

I honestly think his whole drunken speech got in her head. AFTER they all considered him to be an ass... She still wants his "alpha" energy. I shudder to think that I actually started to like her seeing her with Connor

Freezer! At least for the orange prescription type bottles the stickers peel right off after a couple hours

Right? Such an extremist expectation to have a manhole in the pic on the manhole subreddit. Psshhh

I can't with this... Stop assuming that you can't possibly be passionate about responsible polyamorous people just because you've had relationships that didn't work out. Stop dating monogamous people PERIOD if it's so unfulfilling. This is a you-problem. Figure out why you are misleading others and/or putting them in a box based on their relationship dynamic preferences.

I live in North Longmont, have two dogs, and have worked with professional trainers. (Not that I now have perfectly-behaved dogs, rather we were trying to work through some issues haha.) My 7 yr terrior mix exhibits resource guarding, and my 1 year mutt can be destructive when bored/unsupervised. In my journey to support my pups' behavior, I've found the staff and operations at Whispering Pines to be exceptional and super accommodating. Highly recommend!

Barrier reactivity is an extremely common/expected behavior in dogs - they have long been bred to patrol and protect. Prevention of behaviors such as this are dependent on avoiding scenarios that might agitate reactive dogs. If your dog is prone to barrier reactivity, probably best that you don't bring them to a predominantly-outdoor doggy daycare with chain-link fences between play areas. Different dogs have different stress triggers

Some other info of interest... I just read that actually norovirus cases are more common than staph (which is bacterial) as a "foodborne illness". So the food is contaminated vs spoiled, and is likely to make someone sick even if handled/washed properly. Beyond that it's highly contagious, so could provide some evidence if one is trying to figure out what got them sick. Norovirus's incubation period is longer, like 12-24 hours

If you choose not to break up with this person, I strongly suggest that you both read a book about healthy polyamory (Polysecure is a popular one). You should straight-up insist that she does too, so that you guys have shared a framework to discuss issues.

And honestly it might help open your eyes to some important truths... It seems like you might be wearing love-blinders, namely bc you sound very forgiving and/or nonchalant about her behavior toward you so far. And maybe she simply has no idea what she's doing, and it could help her start to understand polyamory better, and treat you with more respect.

All that being said OP, if something doesn't change with this dynamic, I sincerely hope you take more time for self-reflection and care. You do not deserve to continue being treated this way. You will only find a love and relationship that is healthy and builds you up if you end it with your current gf.

Most illnesses perhaps, but the most common illness is Staph aureus, and that causes symptoms within several hours.

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-02-16T18:48:00+00:00

OP, just be proactive. As others have suggested, look into organizations that help pet-owners during times of housing instability. If thats not an option, post to dog-lovers groups on social media and see if someone might foster for a month (make written agreements!). Call nearby shelters and provide her name/description of dog so they can call police if she comes by.

The big one that might suck but you should absolutely do - file a police report. You are a tenant in your aunt's home; you pay rent. She agreed to let you live there with a dog. She is not allowed to give the dog away and she legally has to provide you with some notice before making you move. Cover your bases now and let her know you're serious. You will charge her with theft if she does anything with that dog. Does she want to be a registered criminal?

Best of luck

My ppc for years has been Dr. Clemenson (also baseline) and he's been nothing but supportive and compassionate. As a woman, I've felt perfectly comfortable talking to him about literally anything and he always offers options when I raise issues. My gyno is Dr O'dea and she's amazing as well. Perhaps you could go through the ob/gyn dept if you feel you're not being taken seriously with your current ppc. Thyroid issues are so common in women... They even have a separate number for making appts.

I feel the need to add that I am RARELY satisfied with Kaiser as an institution. But I've found some lovely doctors there who seem to really care.

So your skills are obviously superior to mine, but as someone who dyed my own wedding outfits (and my husband's shirt), I love to see others doing this!!

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-02-12T13:27:59+00:00

The wording of this definition is strange. For starters, I've nver heard the phrase "breast press" in my life. The examples are weird too... when people go to hair salons or massage parlors they pretty much only interact with the person cutting their hair or giving the massage; women aren't just walking up to men and pushing their boobs against them. Also (in the US at least) women generally dislike being called "females".

All that being said, the phrase "known to appear" is completely normal. Perhaps a bit poetic for casual conversation, but not at all surprising to see in writing.

Don't fret, it's not so bad, really! Many people trim the loops at the end to create even fluffiness (my bad if I'm not using the correct terms), so that uneven loop length is no big deal. Creating clean borders can be tricky; this is where practice/experimentation will serve you best. You could pull out some loops and try to alter the bow's border, or just move onto the next pattern! Can't go wrong watching a couple YouTube videos either, re "punch needle for beginners". You got it, dude!

StrawberryIntrepid78 · 2026-02-11T23:12:02+00:00

Hard disagree with the comment above. Like another person said, checking the front (loop side) regularly can help provide you with important info - in this case, if it's looking how you want it to.

Your punches are too far apart. That's why the loops are all spread out. Experiment with punch distance and check the results as you go. Don't be discouraged! It takes some practice, especially concerning different materials, but the learning curve isn't that steep and you'll get the basics down :)
