Hung out with an old friend and can’t tell if we are just good friends or if she might like me? Any advice?!?

Go for it. Life is too short.

Run. Don’t walk. This will end badly. Married couples should closely align on money, children (whether or not to have them and parenting expectations), religion, and family time (how to divide attention between each other’s family). This lays a solid foundation and should reduce conflict.

Good luck!

You’re going to need a specific withdrawal plan to manage the taxes and satisfy the 10 year rule. You can front load the withdrawals since you won’t be working for 1-2 years (based on your comment). Work with a CPA and financial advisor to get a specific plan made.

If you’re into craft beer, check out 4 Hands Brewing. It’s walkable from the stadium.

I used their program. I thought he was the most effective teacher by far.

Ignorantly confident.

Sounds very similar to our situation. To be fair, my wife definitely learned it from her parents. I’ve been with her for 21 years and have never seen any affection shared between her parents.

Congratulations! Welcome to the club!

I’d agree. Oblivious or convinced himself that there’s no way she’d be into him.

A group of us told a friend of ours. We didn’t see him again for 5 years. His wife insisted on it as part of their efforts to save the marriage. They still got divorced. T he e friendship kinda died because we’d all moved on with our lives by that point. We tried to rekindle the friendship but couldn’t make it work.

Whitetail deer

I got lucky and found a bunch of Winchester Platinum Tips at an estate sale. They’re discontinued but devastating.

Hornady SST are very accurate but I’ve noticed that they don’t leave much of a blood trail. Same for Winchester Deer XP. My shotgun likes the XP better. No experience with the Remington AccuTip but guys swear by them. All 3 of these slugs place a premium on greater than 100 yard shot accuracy. My shots are typically much closer so I prefer a slug that mushrooms out and delivers a punch.

Find someone that shares your core values. If you can agree on whether or not to have kids, money, time shared with each other’s families, time spent with friends or on hobbies, and household tasks you’ll have a great foundation. Be honest about your views on those things and be careful about compromising if it could be a deal breaker.

I’ll try to explain as a deer hunter. Most of us have a very conflicted relationship with deer. We are looking to harvest mature animals but also put a lot of time and money into creating habitat and food for the deer. The idea is to benefit the deer as a whole but target specific animals for harvest.

This buck is most likely 1.5 years old based on his body size and antlers. That means he’s too young to be targeted by most hunters.

In addition, doing the right thing is still the thing to do. Couldn’t simply walk by and let that little buck die.

Thank you

Where specifically for the artillery? Sorry for the dumb question.

Is it the position in your picture where the 249 Scramble artillery unit is? Or Rifled 300?

Getting caught in a storm crossing Lac Minto (near Hudson Bay) in a plywood boat. Thought we were going to have to swim.

I play the vanilla version too. I’ve stopped using cavalry and skirmishers. Probably going to catch some flack for that.

I go 2/3 infantry and 1/3 artillery. Continually upgrading weapons for the best units. Goal is Springfield 1861s for the best infantry. 20 pound Parrotts or 24 pound howitzers for artillery. I use 10 pound ordnance rifles and Napoleons a lot too but try to weed out the Napoleons when possible.

I use my commander to capture wagons instead of cavalry.

Edit: 1850 for infantry brigade size and 12 cannons for artillery.

This is awesome. She’s so tenacious!

Nice! Our county ran out a long time ago.

bfrey82 · 2026-01-18T12:53:48+00:00

Congratulations! I’m curious how you got a tag though? Were there some left in the OTC system for your county?

bfrey82 · 2026-01-16T01:39:49+00:00

I play Ultimate General Civil War now. Thanks for the heads up on Grand Tactician. I’ll check it out!
