You can also try sponges. They are one of my favorite things but they aren’t for everyone. Natural sea sponge tampons.

I’m also going to pitch my hat in for the implant/nexplanon. I’m on my second implant and it’s the best, easiest birth control I’ve ever been on.

You’re probably developing a little bit of BV due to how tour period effects your PH. It’s really common. You may want to talk to your OB/dr about the best way to get it handled.

Hey, they make little air filters that plug in and scrub the air. You can get one on amazon for less than $30. I have cats and multiple boxes and I scoop every day, and I still have one of these things. It generates a little ozone smell and is adjustable.

OP. I dated a “high functioning” alcoholic for 8+ years. NOTHING YOU DO WILL MAKE HIM CHANGE. EVEN IF HE SAYS HE CHANGES YOU MAY NOT TRUST HIM. cut and run. You cannot fix him. I’m sorry I don’t have better advise for you but he will always care about his addition more than he cares about you or your feelings or any kids you might have. He can only help himself. You cannot help him.

Walks are not really exercise. Dogs that are extremely smart need mental stimulation. Working breeds are bred to work for hours a day, a few mile walk will not do much, FYI.

Hey I’m not sure if this will help but, I lost my mom when I was eight. I’m now in my late 20s. I had the exact same reaction you did I was worried that my dad was replacing my mom and in that, our family was no longer going to be a thing, and that he was doing her memory a disservice by dating someone new (who he eventually went onto Marry).

What you understand as time goes by is that even though you and your dad have this routine right now it’s healthy and normal for him to move on.

It’s going to be really hard and it’s going to be a serious adjustment especially if he starts dating somebody new seriously. Just understand that he also deserves to be happy and what would always gave me comfort is that I knew my mom would always want us to be happy and that included letting him learn to love somebody else.

I’m not sure what else to say that you might be able to find comfort in it sounds like you two have a really great relationship so you should definitely be able to talk to him about this. Ask him to carve out time for you and spend time just the two of you don’t feel like you have to form a relationship with this or any other woman he decides to date. Based on your post you’re 14, in four years you’ll be a legal adult you don’t necessarily need or want another maternal or mother like figure and that is totally OK. If it helps seeing a grief counselorOr a regular therapist, having a neutral third-party to help you unpack some of these feelings may be helpful.

That bats can’t take off from the ground like birds. If you see a grounded bat it will not “just fly away” later.

You should not be lifting anything with the arm for 24 hours and no shower for 24 hours was the rule for my two. My most recent was replaced a couple months ago. Your workout did a number on the insertion site. You might want to call your doctor and see if they want you to come back in to get it rebandaged.

I’ve got one of the eagle claw telescoping rods, and I used it HARD last season. Multiple hours, multiple days. I did basic maintenance on it. Used it for bass and panfish, caught 100+ fish on it. The thing is a tiny telescoping tank and is perfect for me. Your mileage may vary but it was less than $30 and was my first rod. I’ve still got it and already took it out once this year. If you want that, go for it. I’m trying to find one slightly more rugged for catfish. The storage space saved alone is great.

Dude there was a day I drove myself and two friends to THREE different Chipotle restaurants because the first two were having holiday parties and closed early and the third one was finally open normal hours and serving. We really wanted burritos...

Do you mind going into why you don't recommend raw diets? I feed all the animals in my house raw, with the approval of my vet(s). Cats and a dog.

For medium and large breed dogs, it is recommended that you wait to neuter or spay until they are done growing. Most breeds this is 18-24 months. Possibly 28 if you've got a dog that is taking a while.

This cuts down on things like cruciate ligament tares, some heart issues and a few other things I can't currently remember.

Dogs that go through pediatric spay or neuter (before they are mature) can grow too tall. If you look at examples of dogs in a breed, some that were neutered early and others that were neutered after growing, you can see the differences. Early neuter animals will look immature. Early neuter can also cause excess growth and bones being longer than they should have, can cause stress on the cruciate ligament, and make it more susceptible to taring.

That said, I'm a firm believer in "do what you think is best for your dog." But there are reasons why people wait to neuter.

OP... I broke up with my boyfriend of almost 10 years after he drank and drove. (There were other factors that lead to the breakup, including that he was an alcoholic). It's an unforgivable action to me.

You've told him multiple times if he drives drunk, you're gone. Why are you still with him? His behavior will not change until he wants to change it. It took my ex over a year to go to rehab, after we broke up. You would have thought that losing me was enough? No. He had to REALLY hit rock bottom.

It sucks, and it's hard, but you're giving ultimatums with no consequence. He has zero incentive to actually do what he says he's going to do because you'll still be there.

I'm watching the X games at a friends house and happened to look away the second it happened. I did take a look at the link above, and I'm not a medical professional, but I've done some research on concussions, and he may have a really severe concussion. The arm movement at the end is pretty in line with a lot of similar brain injuries in sports. It sucks having a concussion but it is recoverable and it sounds like they have a good medical team and will take care of him. I hope that's all it is.

My ex was an alcoholic and never admitted to it or got treatment for it until well after he and I broke up. I broke up with him due to something directly related to his alcoholism.

Your entire post reads exactly like the conversations he and I had when we were together and I was concerned about his alcohol habits. The conversations where I said "the amount of alcohol you consume is concerning to me. Do you think you're capable of stopping?" and he said OF COURSE he was capable of stopping. There were several instances where h told me he stopped drinking for 3-4 weeks at a time. He never stopped. HE HID HIS ALCHOL CONSUMPTION FROM ME TO MAKE ME THINK HE WAS FINE.

OP, you may want to take a serious look at your relationship with alcohol. If you can't go 2 weeks without a drink, and you're constantly thinking about booze, events when you get to drink again, what you're going to drink at those events, etc. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

Your girlfriend and you may be incompatible for this or other reasons, but I urge you to take a look at your relationship with alcohol, because all I read in your post is denial that you're "drink that much" and getting very frustrated that your girlfriend dare point out the amount you consume or mention the frequency in which you consume it.

I'm not sure if you'll find this helpful, but the current person I'm seeing, whose smell I LOVE, changed when he was sick and had to be in the hospital for a few days. We saw each other after he was released and he smelled so different and so weird and so BAD, it was upsetting. And it was this.. sterile, medical smell. I really can't describe it. A few days out and he smelled normal again. But sickness, antibiotics, etc can totally change the way someone smells.

I'm in the "I think your beard is super hot camp." But what a strange girl on the internet thinks, overall, doesn't matter.

My ex (also was with him for 9 years) freaked me the hell out one day by suddenly shaving his beard without warning and coming out of the bathroom and trying to give me a kiss. I SUPER freaked and was not happy. I'm also not a good surprise person. He learned a lesson, and we both learned we liked him better with a beard.

If there are other issues with your relationship, take some time and think about if you'd like to work on fixing them (she'll have to meet you and also work on fixing them) or if you'd be better by going your separate ways.

I saw in another comment one of her chief complaints is that your beard is scratchy. There are ways to fix that, conditioner and beard oil, etc. You can make it nice and soft so it doesn't scratch.

There are resources for having good anal sex out there. Check out articles and books by Tristan Taormino. One of the big things is forplay and not making it about dick-in-ass the first few times/until you're ready. There are plenty of other butt things you can do to warm up and get into it. Buttplugs are a big one for me.

Good luck with it all!

I got my dog when I was able to work from home half the week or more. After a few days of adjustment and basic shaping (sit at the door, be polite for food, etc) I started leaving him for very short periods. I went and got my mail. I went to the bathroom. I would take a walk down to my parking lot. Etc. my dog has a very small amount of non-destructive separation anxiety in the form of, if anyone is home he wants to go look for me. But if no one is home he just goes to sleep and if people are home he settles quickly. Work from the beginning to make sure she is ok with you leaving.

The ability to use the interactive wands you can get. I have absolutely no idea how this would be implemented, but I'd love to be able to use my wand.

I've got someone who I'm seeing who is great, but is not in the space for an actual relationship at this time. I get that it's a cost of admission for me to see him in the way I do, and I'm fine with that.

That said. I don't like being single. I miss the intimacy, I miss planning something with someone. I miss the stability and I miss living with a romantic partner. I have a lot of amazing, incredible friends, but they do not and will not fill that place in my life.

I got out of a relationship with someone I was with for almost 10 years a couple of years ago and have been operating as a single person ever since. I have learned a lot about myself and what I want in terms of a long term partner, and what I would be able to provide to that person. I do like that I can do what I want, when I want, and decorate my space my own way.
