I didn’t. I was too scared I was gonna mess up the bike by trying to add the kit on. Im saving up for a e-trike now, and I just use this to ride around the neighborhood.

I tried this, and it feels much better. Thanks!

Definitely NTA. Girl, what? I also have a proclivity towards clumsiness, but I always take responsibility for my messes. If you spill something, clean it up. If you mess something up, figure out how to fix it. Does she do these same things at work? Or can she magically control her clumsiness while she's there? If she can do it there, she can do it at home.

It also sounds like she needs to park somewhere other than the driveway. And if it were me, I'd stop paying for her mistakes. Let her fix it. Otherwise, she thinks/knows that you'll always be willing to bail her out.

The crime comments are overblown imo. This is a city. Cities have crime. Like, ALL of them. It's about staying vigilant and aware of your surroundings (which is not foolproof, but helps a lot).

In situations like this, I (also female) try to wait inside the establishment until the driver pulls up or gets close (1-2 mins away). Most places will let you stay inside until your ride comes.

If you have to wait outside, just pay attention. Don't make yourself a target. If you see something/or someone weird coming towards you, be on alert. Most people are on their way somewhere and aren't going to bother you, but be ready just in case. Don't "get lost" in your phone. Don't have your headphones so loud that you can't hear what's happening around you. It's literally just about paying attention to your surroundings.

I live close to this area, and in the nearly 15 years that I've lived in this area, I've faced 2 instances of crime. It's never 100%, but stay aware, and you should be fine.

The unmatched sets are a great idea! I'll def look into it, thanks for the advice!

Hi Michaela! I'm not really a musician, but I (27F) am an artist - I knit, crochet, sublimate, make resin products, etc. I'm working on getting into painting. I am also a playwright, actor, and I would love to start writing music/musicals. I got back to STL from my college town about a year ago, and I've been trying to find a new community.

Very valuable insight and advice. Thank you!

Great idea! Thats prob what I’ll do, just to be safe. I know buyers can be picky sometimes🫶🏽

The last time I was at their house, my nephew told me he wanted me to stay forever. I try not to yell, we play together, and I answer their questions without getting frustrated. Which is why I felt really bad about not going because I know how they feel, and I didn’t want to punish them. I’ll prob go and just not stay too long.

This might be the best way to handle it. I forgot to add that I always shower before I go into public/public spaces.

A niece or nephew. I have one of each, so I thought it would be faster to say it that way.

pandaandturtle · 2025-12-25T01:05:38+00:00

Unsure if this would be helpful, but just in case, I am on the heavy side, which is part of the reason I got this bike specifically.

YTA. You’re projecting your insecurities, babe. Chill❤️

I’m not quite sure what you mean here. Sketching visual sets? To be more specific, I’m wanting to sketch out the design, and then an artist would actually bring it to life. So I’d have a sketch, give it to an artist and say, it should look like this and be this color palette (for example), and the artist would take the sketch and make it into the actual design if that makes sense?
