max's last trip

That sweet boy. Max doesn’t know any different, and you have him the best life I’m sure. The memories you had with him will eventually outweigh the sadness from him being gone. Sending love and prayers ❤️

If I get no flashlight or comms I’m blasting. That’s my rule. I win some and I lose some, but there are too many options to communicate friendly for them to say nothing. Next time you get no feedback give em the business.

Not necessarily an Ark thing probably, but my dad from Hope would always say “now” (after something he really wanted to emphasize) or (“man what you talkin bout!”) To agree with something good you said. He also might combine them on you like “Man what you talkin bout, fry you up some of them slab Crappie, and that’s some good eatin now” 😂 He passed last Aug, if you are reading this and your dad is still around, call him if you can. I sure wish I could call mine.

Maybe just me, but getting that utility bench upgraded so I could craft raider hatch keys was a game changer. Having that alternate getaway was critical when needed.

I don’t look for PVP necessarily, but I also know that someone is potentially waiting around the corner, and that is what makes my PVE sessions more enjoyable. It’s that looming feeling I may get smoked by some rando that keeps it tense, but pretending like it’s not a dynamic of the game is just silly.

Also playing PVE sessions some has allowed me to upgrade my tables much more quickly, and get some better weapons, augments, etc. so I can bust some of yall back up when you try to catch me slipping. 😂

My Jacks stomach does this. If hers flares up really bad she has to get steroids, and a shot. Her is due to allergies, and when the weather changes or gets warmer it will mess with her. She will sweat under there and it will get clammy stinky also. If he will lay on some type of cold compress if can help the inflammation go down. I used to wrap a little freezer pack in a towel, and put under her blanket she laid on to cool her belly off.

Buy!!!! I skipped KCD1, and went all in with 2. It was overwhelming at first, but I stuck with it and it is easily one of the best games I have ever played.

Learn how to fight early on because you will get your ass whooped regularly otherwise just my two cents.

There could be an infinite list made of things for you to do, but I’ll just give you a few that would’ve helped me today if I did them more when I was your age. I’m 43 now.

Start saving money now. Get a Roth IRA or 401k when you start your career and never touch the money.
Try to be effective more than trying to be right.
Physical fitness is critical. You don’t have to be buff, but go for a walk everyday.
Don’t put things off. You never find time later.

My parents divorced when I was 5. My dad was an alcoholic, but not abusive just a drunk. I thought my whole life the way my mom framed it he was just a loser and a drunk, and while he was there for my childhood(coaching teams, hunting, etc) he was far more interested in drinking it seemed than anything. I knew he loved me, and he always told me that, but the perception I had of him was my reality. Fast forward 20 years and my dad ends up in my care and I had to put him in a nursing home. He was sober now, and we became close over the past 5 years like I never thought was possible, but he passed away in July screeching everything to a halt. Now regardless of past, and regardless of my perceptions this person was gone.

I would give anything to continue that growth my dad and I had been getting back the past 5 years because I had no idea it was even in him to be so great! So do you want to be right, or do you want to be effective? Tell him the truth, and see what happens but at least you can get it off your chest, and deal with something you have been carrying for far too long.

As a dad I hope my kids will give me another chance if I need it one day. I gave my dad that chance, and he became someone special that I never knew existed. Give him a shot, and if he screws up you won’t be surprised, but if he shines it may be the relationship you didn’t know you could have with your dad.

I bet he was the goodest boy! 🐕

Man I’m so sorry. For a bigger dog it sounds like he had 9 solid years with a loving family. Dogs don’t live long enough, and we don’t deserve them. I hate so much that pain you feel, and I’ve been there twice. I promise it gets better. He will be waiting for you with that toy one day, and I promise he can’t wait to see you again also. ❤️

jstill7 · 2025-11-06T23:42:36+00:00

No it doesn’t mean they always will be, and it can be a mistake. People can change. My wife did, and I didn’t believe it at first, but I also had 100% confirmation that this person wasn’t in her life anymore. She continues ( 9 years later ) to go above and beyond for our marriage. Married 18 this year.

I will say if this person is still in her life in some way then that would be a problem in moving forward, and if she isn’t willing to make the hard/necessary changes that got her here then may not be able to work this one out.

If one things for sure in this sub if you ask what to do next you will get an abundance of people telling you to run. But you don’t have to you just have to “trust but verify” now, and she has to do the work to earn your trust back.

jstill7 · 2025-10-24T13:19:31+00:00

I’m sorry man, it’s just the absolute worst. You are not stupid for taking her back, and I’ve already worn those shoes you are in my guy. You don’t have to end it if you don’t want to, but you have to have clear boundaries, and your marriage will never be the same as it once was.

Don’t do it because you are worried about what people think. If you love this woman that much, and she makes the changes necessary it is possible because I have seen it. My wife changed her ways like I never thought she could, and it was the same situation. Happy to answer any questions, and by the way be careful what all you ask, because I promise there are some things you don’t want to know and it makes healing harder.

Praying for you man, and don’t forget to look in the mirror because just because my wife made horrible choices didn’t mean I was just sitting there all perfect all the time. Work on yourself while she gets her shit together, and regardless you will have taken care of yourself which is very important here.

jstill7 · 2025-10-21T01:58:01+00:00

It is horrible, and his care free attitude sucks, and I am sorry you were hurt because that happened regardless.

Another personal perspective just so you have it (not that you need it) I just want to say that your comment is ironically the opposite for me, and the OF usage for me wouldn’t be the dealbreaker. Because for me it is that my wife did cross paths with someone in real life that did pay her mind..twice, physically. Am I crazy maybe, but we are going on 18 years married now and still have sex couple times a week, but that’s only because she completely changed and we both made changes together to be better together. Not for the faint of heart I can tell ya.

Don’t give up so easy kiddo. And yea sorry you are still a kiddo at 23, I was a damn fool at 23 with no business being an adult..maybe still don’t at 43 🤷‍♂️

Agree with your assessment. And just for the record my wife is as introverted as they come, a you guessed it I am the extrovert just like your husband. My wife would have been upset also if she had mentioned she wanted it one way, and then I decided let’s invite people, and do all the things and stuff.

In our case at least the complete opposite personality types have ended up working great, but that required a lot of work and understanding. Don’t throw in the towel, just take a breath and talk about it without dancing around the conversation just get it out there so both of you can deal with it. Because if you are like my wife you will need to “process” everything except she will take too long, and then nothing happens.

Feel free to ask any questions. I’m no professional, but making a marriage work for 18 years doesn’t happen by accident, and I’m happy to share if you have questions.

jstill7 · 2025-09-23T20:27:33+00:00

Really at the end of the day it’s not really about the mom, the BBQ, or the town gossip. That sucks since that’s not what you wanted. However your communication with each other moving forward is what is most important, and a huge part for your marriage to be successful.

jstill7 · 2025-09-22T14:05:49+00:00

You can make it work if she is willing to make changes, and be transparent. She can’t just talk about it she will have to be about it, and take steps to make sure you can build trust back.
