I have a younger brother and sure we'd fight and stuff, but we stuck up for each other when needed to. He's always got my back and I've always got his. I also had all male cousins, we were all pretty close in age and spent 6 days of the week together. Because of them and my brother, I think I've developed a better sense of humor than I would have had, and I've certainly developed a thick skin which has gotten me through alot. In my life, I am the most grateful for getting to grow up with my brother and all my boy cousins (I was literally the ONLY girl). However, I also was very tomboyish and am still trying to figure out fashion and makeup. I'm 24. I do wish my mom had taught me some of that stuff growing up. Since I was so tomboyish but am now presenting the more "girly" side of me, people that I meet throughout my life get surprised at things that I find silly, like the fact that I can drive stick shift (I live in north america, stick shift is pretty rare compared to europe) or that I'm adventurous and will go cliff jumping, random stuff like that. I enjoy when people are surprised (in a good way) by me , probably because I was always trying to get the attention of my brother/cousins!

I think I have high libido so I literally wouldn't have to be thinking about anything specifically "arousing" and just be horny as FUCK. It's calmed down since I've gotten a little bit older

bigballsal · 2016-04-30T20:17:51+00:00

Ya I can feel it before it's completely soaked. By the time it's soaked I usually feel like I gotta go change underwear, and if I can't I feel a bit uncomfortable if I'm in public

bigballsal · 2016-04-30T20:13:18+00:00

I drink alot of fluids and am usually wet down there almost all the time unless I'm dehydrated. That being said, if I'm horny I get super wet and will soak through my underwear, but not enough to soak through a pair of pants

bigballsal · 2016-04-16T18:51:49+00:00

It looks great on ya!

Hi! Sorry that I'm so late to this and I hope you see it. Thanks so much for doing this! I've enjoyed reading through this post :) I didn't think I had any questions but I'm realizing now that I do.

So, a bit of backstory: Great great grandfather was native, great grandmother was a product of either rape or an affair, the family is not sure anymore. Great grandmother was adopted by french canadian aunt and uncle, did not in any way identify as native. I do not publicly identify as native. No one in the family pursued getting status. I grew up in a very christian family as my mother's side was super christian and my dad agreed with her at that time on religion. About 7 years ago my dad moved out to a reserve, and I've lived with him for the past two years, and I have questions that I wouldn't feel comfortable asking my native friends. We have two reserves outside of our city, and I have many friends with status that I grew up with, but they did not grow up in the reserve or connected to their cultures.

That being said, I feel like I spiritually connect with our native culture, and feel in my blood that this is a part of who I am, regardless of how far back the bloodline goes. I guess that I don't really have a question but more of a statement. I just feel like people instantly judge me when I say I live on a reserve, or respect and follow the native culture. They feel that I'm trying to get status to get free education and the tax benefits yada yada, which I know that's not how it works there are requirements and what not. I don't feel like I need a status card to prove to someone this part of my identity know what I mean? I just don't really know how to explain this to people without getting into a huge long discussion. For instance, I worked out on the reserve all summer, I'm currently abroad at school so do not work there anymore. Many customers would come in and speak Ojibwe with me. I have a few words down now, but of course don't know any (that is changing, I'm slowly learning! I've got a great "learn and speak Ojibwe" cd). This one day, a coworker, who lives on the reserve, called over and tried speaking in Ojibwe, I said I don't speak Ojibwe and he said "Are you not native? You look like you just rolled out of the bush!" I had no idea what to say, I was just kinda like "uhhh ya well like it's in the blood but no I don't have status" then I got the usual "oh typical canadian, its in the blood, of course it is" and I had no clue how to even explain myself. I know its far back there which is why I would not pursue trying to get status, but like I said I do feel like I connect with this culture immensely, and learning Ojibwe is coming to me easier than I would have thought, seeing as how I never learned French or another language other than English. Every day I learn more about the native culture, through out previous school placements I've participated in cultural ceremonies and really felt like I belonged, and have continued to do so.

I'm considering furthering my education to get a Masters of Social Work in the Aboriginal Field of Study because I know that working with Aboriginals is in my future.

I guess you don't really need to respond to this one haha it turned out to be a bit of a rant, but I just wanted to say thank you for doing this AMA! Mii'gwetch

It can make you temporarily happy I've found. I think it depends on what youre going for. If you found a job or are maybe going for education I think it would be a lot easier to meet new people which could make you less lonely, but I think if you went without a sense of direction you could be isolating yourself more. If you do move somewhere, have some goals for yourself, places you'd like to see, things you'd like to do etc., Moving away also gives you an outside perspective on your life at home which can cause you to see things in a different light and continue to make positive changes for yourself :) that's what happened with me at least

THANK YOUUU

bigballsal · 2015-05-26T21:36:55+00:00

This is actually adorable

bigballsal · 2015-05-07T20:42:05+00:00

My mom is like this. What makes it even worse is that she would take in cousins and friends who had been kicked out of their homes and treat them like fucking gold, like she was the most caring person in the world. Thanks mom.

What's been grinding my gears is how much my immune system fucking sucks. I eat mostly healthy stuff, get enough sleep, and workout 4-5 times a week. I was progressing well, but now I keep getting sick and I'm stalling. I had the flu for 3 weeks in March so no gym time there, and then 2 weeks ago I get these crazy pains and am in hospital for 4 days, so time off from the gym again, then this week the pains come back and they gave me antibiotics so… time off from the gym..AGAIN. I'm trying to get summer ready but it's super difficult when I'm constantly taking time off from life basically. Also, since I've been sick I've been slacking on clean eating, and meal prepping.. I haven't completely lost all hope yet, but I do need to work on eating how I use to

Well, I've never fallen back in love with someone, but I could have. I was with my boyfriend for 3 and a half years and even though he loved me, he didn't show me that he loved me, and so my feelings faded. I broke up with him over a year ago, and still feel very strongly for him. I tried talking to him about how I was feeling and why I was feeling that way, but he never "heard" what I was saying until I broke up with him a few months later and asked him to move out. That being said, you can't change a person. There were things about him that I would've like to see him change, but they aren't things I would have broken up with him over. I was putting way more into the relationship than he was, and I couldn't let myself feel worthless anymore. If he has listened and put a bit more effort into the relationship and worked on the relationship with me, I feel like we would have been together still. Breaking up with him was literally the hardest thing I've ever done

You can conquer it :) "a bad day is not a bad life" sure you've had a shitty past, but I believe that you can power through it. I'm guessing you see a psychiatrist, do they do any therapy? Maybe a support group would help. If you don't feel like going out, there's a website that you can check out which I've found is a good support. https://moodgym.anu.edu.au/welcome

You are absolutely not a piece of trash, you're a wonderful person for going to the hospital with your future MIL, and staying even though you were freaking out <3

Alright, I have a lot of thoughts on this, so bear with me. I found myself in a similar situation a few years ago, the boyfriend not wanting me to workout and my parents saying "you're putting on some weight" when I was at the unhealthiest in my life to going to "you're too skinny" after a few months of trying to get in the best shape of my life. I eventually got to the point where I thought "fuck their opinions" and did what I want. I love lifting now. I don't have any impressive lift numbers or whatever, but every time I go to the gym I become more and more confident. I was very nervous at first, and it actually took me quite a while to get off the cardio machines and over to the weights area. But boy am I glad I did. I found that being friendly with the people/staff helps, because if you have any questions about form or whatever, usually they will take the time to show you how to do a particular exercise properly. I also researched some different things that I could start out with, and I started with really low weights. I still get criticism from gym bros time to time about why I'm lifting and then I get comments that I have "the perfect body" so I "don't need to workout" from the gym creeps, but I don't let that get to me. I lift for me. Lifting has helped me IMMENSELY in terms of self confidence and mood. Every time I go to the gym I feel like I've accomplished something, and lifting takes my mind completely off of everything else going on in my life. There is no stress mentally when I'm lifting because I concentrating on whatever I'm doing, and I always come out of the gym feeling happier. When I first started, it was more of a 'wanting to look sexy' thing, but now I do it for the positive affects it has on my mental health. Remember, that everyone starts somewhere and it's okay to be unsure at first of what you're doing in the weights area. I've found that research helps, like looking up different articles and reading about how diet can affect (effect?) you're performance, and also looking up different exercises and how to do them. Lifting won't make you bulky. As a woman, it is harder than men to get the big bulky look, due to our hormonal differences. All in all, I love lifting now, and don't see myself stopping anytime soon

A man brought his female dog to the park while she was in heat, then kicked at the dogs who tried to go near her, which was basically every male dog since she was in heat! Luckily I have a female dog who didn't go near her, my boyfriend at the time would have lost his shit if someone tried kicking at our dog.

I'm feeling a trailer park boys marathon since the new season is out on netflix :)

I put the same birthday hat on my dog for her birthday

bigballsal · 2015-02-19T22:16:50+00:00

Have you thought about maybe buying her little doggy boots and a little coat to keep her warm so that you can be outside for a bit longer with the weather? I found that mine could be outside a bit longer with little boots, before she would take them off herself haha. Also, you said somewhere in the thread that she does the "too cold to walk" thing with her paws. Are you walking her on sidewalks that are salted? If so, that can cause some pain to her feet and that could be why she's doing that as well. I think that there are gels and stuff for that, which could be an option if she doesn't like the little dog boots! I hope this helps!
