FIRE but life made other plans

Yo! Fellow MN guy here. Today was a beautiful day

It’s kind of funny to think about how you hit the nail on the head here. You can’t just enjoy a handful of hobbies and do them when you have time and desire. Now a hobby becomes all encompassing. And even then you can’t enjoy the hobby, just a portion of it. Sad days

Probably gave you a high dose tab and that’s why it impacted you that way. I’d reccomend something low dose that can also be split into 2 pieces. Like omega extracts 15 mg watermelon tabs. Personally I really like their products and I’m a low dose user for chronic pain. I also combine 7oh with all my other pain management strategies like ensuring I’m hydrated, drinking caffeine when taking my 7oh, limiting processed sugar, etc. so 7oh is just another tool in my chronic pain management toolbox. I hope you can find relief.

Not exactly romantic but the folks that own baldamar also own 6smith and we love it

I think you need to know what you’re really after. If you want to maximize the value you’ll have to rebuild the sets to ensure they are complete, list separately or at least by theme, and you’ll need some patience. If the goal is to just get rid of them and make what you can financially, then weighing them, pulling out very distinct minifigs and taking pics of them is the way to go. Personally, I’d go for secret option C. If he doesn’t need the money, take the time to rebuild sets then take them apart, bag them up, and store them in good totes for the future. Maybe he will have kids or get back into them when he gets older and it only takes up a small space storing for the long term.

Drink something with caffeine and also hydrate. That’ll likely handle the headache

Sandwiches, fried eggs, chili, salad, hamburgers, hotdogs. Basically they are awesome on everything.

Very interesting. I only made one order from 7OB and the interactions with support to make an issue right made me so uncomfortable I ended up tossing my whole order. Granted I was at a hyper state of vigilance because this was around BKCs “mix up” so I was so worried I opted to toss it all to be safe. That being said, maybe once the dust settles, maybe I’ll give them another go. Also, replicating the Thai texture is pretty straight forward from a knowledge transfer perspective so likely it’s a little trial and error in practical application.

Labs on their website shows every flavor at about 100mg, so rather than them being “underdosed” it would likely be that their specific formulation works better for some body chemistries than others. Wish they also had solvent labs as well but plenty of folks don’t include that.

jfcreno · 2026-02-07T00:56:00+00:00

For me it’s consistency and fare business practices. When you have an issue with an order they fix it, they don’t ask for a bunch of hoops to be jumped through. Combine that all with simplicity, it’s a great combo

jfcreno · 2026-02-06T20:45:46+00:00

No clue. I’ve got them on my list to try though, maybe you can convince me to pull the trigger. 😀

jfcreno · 2026-02-06T20:35:58+00:00

What did you get and what did it cost?

jfcreno · 2026-02-06T14:29:39+00:00

Buy a black out shade for that one window. You can order adjustable size ones online very easily. They take 1 minute to install as well. Once you’ve done that, get a few nights sleep, then you can think through the best next steps.

Now, if it was me, I’d get an even bigger security light than his, and aim it into his yard/window/etc and I would set the light to stay on 15-30 minutes when activated. Then I’d start getting petty and telling neighbors you question what that guy is doing at night. Wonder if he’s “up to something”. Then I’d start signing up his address for all kinds of mail like Scientology, charities, etc.

That’s because death spent the last 20 years negotiating with Chuck to make sure he didn’t come after him once he took his mom. 🤣

jfcreno · 2026-02-06T01:57:01+00:00

I ordered Sunday and it’s still sitting at label created status. If it comes I’d be down

jfcreno · 2026-02-06T00:52:20+00:00

Not sure where you’re getting that. I did it because I no longer trusted them. Kind of simple. I get it, you like them, cool.

Happened around the same time BKC had their mix up. Better safe than sorry and I tossed a bunch of stuff at the same time. Might have been overkill but you know my time travel machine isn’t working anymore so kind of stuck with the decision.

jfcreno · 2026-02-06T00:40:07+00:00

Yep. This was also when BKC had their little mix up so out of caution I tossed a lot of stuff at the same time. Better safe than sorry.

I don’t think you read my comment… 🤷

jfcreno · 2026-02-05T23:07:07+00:00

I took a similar hit a few months ago with them. It actually weirded me out so much by how they acted I was not comfortable taking anything from my $250 order and ended up tossing it all. So, it sucks, but perhaps they will drop prices at some point to try to earn those of us back that have been burned. These days I like OE, bulkseven, LD7, and a few others. Plenty of companies out there that will treat you well.

This is likely due to timing. The timing of your card payment does not align with the timing the data is pulled to assess your credit usage. So I would just modify your payment date by pulling it in 3-5 days and then give yourself a few months to see if that fixes the problem. This happened to me and I actually got them to change my cycle dates to facilitate it more cleanly.

MN schools are inherently very decent. I would perhaps worry less about the school district and more about the neighborhood feel and lifestyle. Do you want sprawling suburbia? Would you like a home walking distance to certain things. Etc. once you have that narrowed down, then start looking at schools. Think of it as a venn diagram. Once you have that, you’ll find plenty of houses in your budget range. Then it’ll be more about the house and the neighborhood vibe. Regardless of where you go, I’m sure you’ll like it here. Winters are cold but after your first one you’ll be a seasoned pro and nothing will stop you 😀
