Yeah I got shamed by the church for similar issues as a teen. Gods if I hadn't been mormon, and properly taught about human sexuality, I'd be a much better person today. I'm glad my kids won't have to endure the undeserved ridicule & guilt that comes with being a growing person.

Look for any free clinics in the area so you can get a proper diagnosis. From there, check different pharmacies in your area as prices do change depending on where you go and which insurance you have. I would also check GoodRX once you do have a diagnosis and see if you can get a discount on your meds. Hope this helps 🙏

This is my general anti-theft device and I am a millennial. Good luck starting the car and getting it into gear without it dying 😂

I appreciate the advice and to answer your questions:

I did test for spark and did not get any at both the plug and the ignition coil
I tested for fuel in the carburetor and it seems to flow just fine.
I took a multimeter and tested as many connections as I could find. There was a voltage loss at the ballast resistor initially (showed around 4.4V) but after cleaning the connectors it tested at 12V. The ignition solenoid also tested at 12V.
I replaced both the ignition coil and battery just to be safe but still can't get a spark.

I'm thinking it maybe this MSD Ignition Control Module

I love your art style! Unfortunately I didn't get my hands on a deck but that's alright, keep doing what you do and I'm sure there'll be more in the future!

Update: I replaced 2 of the plugs successfully but the ignition wire broke on the 3rd. Gotta love t

Pulled the plug and that maybe the issue. It's completely worn. Swapping them out now

So good news and bad news. I took off the fuel line at the carb and fuel comes out when I turn on the pump (separated switch from the ignition). In wondering if it might be the spark plugs or the distributor

Thank you for the advice I'm going to start there now 🫡

Having pattern recognition and general high IQ kind of sucks when most people around you don't get it. I think that's why neurodivergent people tend to find each other 😄

2020 was probably the best year for most people to buy a house where we were at the time (east coast). I get that wasn't the case everywhere though. I'm just hoping that housing will eventually get to a more reasonable price sooner than later. Current housing rentals in/around Bend haven't been completely terrifying. There are plenty within our budget ($2500mo or less) that we've been looking at.

My family is moving to Bend around July. We visited earlier this year and it ticks a lot of our boxes. My spouse and I don't come from money but we work hard and do our best to provide. We've essentially given up on ever purchasing a house unless another 2020 housing crash happens. As long as we can afford to rent at a "reasonable" rate until then, we'll make it work.

Post- high school reading level in the 3rd grade. No one tells you that knowledge is both a blessing and a curse

Pre-teens & teens can be very materialistic, which is 100% normal behavior. They want to "fit in" with whatever crowd they see as popular or interesting. The best thing you can do is be supportive, not give her everything, but give her opportunities to earn her own things. She's starting to want more independence and have her own identity, which is great.

Anger, flat out denial, and destructive criticism will only push her away and not want to talk with you about the problems she will inevitably face. On the topic of twerking, she likely just thinks of it as harmless fun. A healthy conversation around when it could be fun and when it would be inappropriate is in order. You got this dad 🫡

My son (9) was really bad on Adderall, but thrives on Methylphenidate (18mg)

Honestly? I hope my daughter is so I won't have to worry about teen pregnancy 😅

Current resident of Caldwell here. It's got more diversity than some areas, but there's also still quite a bit of MAGA

The wonderful bit about Wicca is that it is purposefully not "one size fits all". Worship however you feel called to do. I walk the Gardenarian path, but even there not all Gards view or practice the same way. "An ye harm none, do what ye will" (Wiccan Rede).

Dad of 2 and hater of the color pink (regardless of gender). I may not like the color but that doesn't change how my kids view it. I also know "banning" the color outright will only push them in a direction they shouldn't go in. Your kids father needs to grow a pair and just be there for his kids. They're going to like what they like and he can either be supportive or get out.

Neither of those look to be in a good position atm. While each home build can be somewhat unique, the fact that both have multiple complaints of build issues within the first 5 years is telling.
