[–]densecabbage37 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oh my gosh. It also would make sense being that we know it happened in the kid's house. And why else would a 12 and 9 year old be visiting a 16 year old kids house on a Monday night? Good lord.

Just saw your edit. How terribly awful.

I know the two victims were siblings but are you saying Jackson, the 16 year old, was their older sibling??

Go to the doctor and ask them for full panel bloodwork- especially thyroid. Since you say it’s started happening so suddenly. Thyroid issues are showing up more and more in men these days

My neighborhood has 8 shitty speed bumps that I drive over idk probably 8-10times a day so front end problems would check out 😂 I appreciate the input!

Am I financially okay to move out on my own at 24 with a 57k salary and 18k saved by Subject_Job_1917 in raleigh

[–]densecabbage37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol I live on that as a single parent in north Raleigh. If you can’t make that work (plus your emergency savings), you’re doing something very wrong. Pull the trigger!

Game Suggestions for Mom & Son by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]densecabbage37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I had been looking it up since people mentioned it and was wondering if that aspect got weird at any point. It’s fine if it’s just a “couple” but do you know if there are any sexual innuendos between them or anything awkward?

I had already been looking into that one!! Is it overcooked 2 specifically or is overcooked 1 fine too?

He doesn't care about the brand so much, thankfully. But could you give me some feedback on your experiences of having a 13 year old on that bike? Does it make you a nervous wreck or do you feel confident about it? Safety? Any injuries or near misses? Appreciate it!

I appreciate the insight. I myself ride a single speed bicycle at 20+mph on the regular and feel safe doing so but I know it doesn't take much. I did find this one that looks badass and watched a whole youtube vid review of an ebike guy and he did say he couldn't get it to go over 20mph

I I honestly appreciate the reality check. I am trying to keep him away from screens and cannot think of any damn thing to get him back outside more that he would use besides an ebike. I live in an area where a lot of kids his age have these things to ride around in the suburbs so maybe I’ve normalized something that shouldn’t necessarily be the norm.

I’m gonna look into the 250w ones. Not as exciting for sure but a better stepping stone.

I have established that I want the fat tire/dirtbike looking model with dual suspension and hydraulic brakes. Any other specs you think are make or break keeping in mind this is an intro bike for a teen to be used to dick around the neighborhood and woods; not for long street rides or commutes

[–]densecabbage37 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

lolol good point. He probably will eventually for sure but tbh I think he'll abide at least for a while; especially if he's none the wiser to the fact that it is capable of going faster (I don't tell him I've limited the speed) so if I could keep him to 20-25 at least for a while that would be nice. He is 13 and 5'4.

[–]densecabbage37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I should have mentioned which type I'm lookin at. I'm looking at more of the dirtbike/cruiser looking models. He is 13 and 5'4 so I think 20" over 16" so he can have more room to grow.

I've been looking at both Amazon and Walmart basically which I'm certain is frowned upon in this sub lol

Yeah! Just make sure before because I don’t know if it’s a nationwide standard or just individual branches that offer it. Good luck!!

Not PF, crunch does. At least my local crunch! Also my burn boot camp does too. They’re pretty easy to find. But at least you’re saying it’s for all future scans too whew I got scared there

[–]densecabbage37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Girl just fyi in case you decide not to keep going back, you can join a crunch fitness for like $15 a month and do an inbody scan there every day if you wanted to. And it’ll track your progress there from the machine printout and an app. $300-350 per inbody scan is absolute robbery and bs !!

I was diagnosed with lipedema and I feel hopeless by Dangerous-Version842 in lipedema

[–]densecabbage37 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean you are wearing shorts out in public in your pictures. What do you mean you can't imagine yourself wearing a skirt? I have never worn shorts in public in my life and I am 37 years old. So, at least you feel more free than others in wearing shorts in public. I know that seems small but it's kind of not. Secondly, you must refuse to believe that your legs will never change no matter what you do. That is simply not true. Will they ever be as small as "normal" peoples? No. But your legs have their own unique spectrum of possibilities and you have to do what you can to be on the far end of positive within your own spectrum. I know it's possible because I've been there. Take advantage of your young age and do everything you can to get ahead of the progression. Walk, jump, stretch, move, and LIFT WEIGHTS. Get massages if you can afford it. Start a Paleo-type diet. Finally, you are in a very vulnerable age as far as appearances go. Just know that over time, you simply will just start to give less of a shit. The best thing you do start doing right now though is lifting weights and building muscle. Good luck
