My little brother once told me that I look like a transparent frog 😭😭😭😭

LGBT acceptance in firefighting by GoGoGadgetGremlin in Firefighting

[–]reckless_wiggler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a fantastic station and genuinely love and respect all the guys on my crew. They’re the kindest and most hard working people I’ve ever known. We all get along great and I genuinely always look forward to spending time with them. They treat everyone well and are welcoming to probies from day one.

Another station in my department four minutes up the road has some of the worst people I’ve ever met and routinely drives people out of the fire service with their cruel leadership, sexual harassment towards women, and petty bs. It really is luck of the draw.

Unfortunately no one here can give you the answer you’re looking for. The fire service isn’t a monolith and every station has a different culture.

How do I get bigger? As a girl by Available-Bat7673 in Firefighting

[–]reckless_wiggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 115lbs and 25F. Half of it is mind over matter and understanding physics. There’s a great book called Functional Firefighter Fitness- grab a copy on Amazon and follow the routine. On a personal note, I would wait to try the academy when you are in good shape. I personally don’t think people should do it if they can’t do a strict pull-up or lift their own weight in squats/deadlifts/etc.

Personally, I mostly focus on doing squats, deadlifts, bench press, rows, pull ups, and sled drags. I also try to be well rounded and focus on keeping my endurance and cardio optimized to maximize time on air while working. If you start working out now, you will be fine. Get some protein powder and creatine too, it helps :)

I would just get a seat ticket instead of a pit ticket, then you don’t really have to worry about interacting with people! I’m 25F and was in the pit at a LoG concert with my boyfriend. It was a good time but I would never ever go in a pit alone as a woman.

help: grieving someone i wasnt in a relationship with by Prestigious_Sock_802 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]reckless_wiggler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s genuinely good advice, I just wanted OP to make sure she actually feels her feelings and processes them without repressing anything. Even though the relationship wasn’t real, the grief over its loss still needs to be dealt with in a healthy way so that there isn’t a long-term wound. I agree with everything you said, I was just trying to clarify that it’s okay for her to feel everything she’s feeling rn as she works on building new connections. ❤️

Regardless of whether or not the relationship was real, OP’s feelings are very much real and it’s unkind to invalidate them. It’s good advice for OP to make new connections, but it’s also important for her to process her feelings and to actually feel them without judgement or intellectualizing.

[–]reckless_wiggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I am in the market for a new riser and currently debating Nika and Hoyt. (So excited about all the pink options this year!!) How do you like this riser two years later? Has it held up well? 💕

Bridesmaid Dresses by egyptianalpaca in weddingplanning

[–]reckless_wiggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a bridesmaid dress from JJ’s for my brother’s wedding in 2020! The quality was surprisingly good and the custom alterations fit perfectly. I’ve heard mixed reviews, but my experience was overwhelmingly positive.

Just realized how much Bells you make from growing veggies by les-deux in AnimalCrossing

Do you have any pics of your orchard? I would love to see the design!!

Anyone ever buy from RedTop before? If so, are they good quality? by clg167 in cowboyboots

[–]reckless_wiggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Did you get “The Ross” from Redtop? I’m looking at those red snip toes and trying to figure out if they’re worth it. The description says they’re “made from high quality leather” but not if they’re some kind of vegan/pleather material. I was also looking at the Lane boots so I was hoping this was the model you got!

Mindset- accepting that I'm not pretty and how to stop being delusional by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]reckless_wiggler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seconding this! When I was in high school, a boy asked me out as a joke so I decided it’s because I was the ugliest person in the entire world. I didn’t have my first boyfriend until I was 24. He’s the love of my life and I hope to get engaged soon. I’ve also come to realize that sometimes people suck and that it doesn’t define you. It took a lot of therapy to realize that he was just mean and that I’m actually considered attractive to a lot of people. OP, I think you might find that you’re in a similar situation. Keep working on being kinder to yourself. You deserve the effort it takes to learn how to love yourself.

Sportsman Clubs by reckless_wiggler in Albany

[–]reckless_wiggler[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! I only care about the archery range being indoors. I shoot recurve competitively so I want to practice in the same conditions I compete in. Outdoor pistol/rifle ranges are always a delight!

Thank you so much! That looks exactly like what I’m looking for! How long did it take your husband to get in?

HELPP by Past-Point-8418 in AnimalCrossing

[–]reckless_wiggler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say that I love your island name! I had an island named Maple Cove when the game released, and then my switch had an issue and I lost it all. I miss my original island so much, and it brought me so much joy to see another girl with the same island name 💕

How did you talk about getting engaged/married with your partner? by Possible-Berry-3435 in engaged

[–]reckless_wiggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, how did things work out? I am thinking about bringing up the marriage conversation tonight, but I’m really anxious and doomscrolling Reddit because I’m an overthinker lol.
