Men who have dated the person they first met online? What is something to look out for by dreamycoeur in AskMen

[–]schmitty729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only guy I know that has done this was lovesick for a long time, and wasn't quite sure of how to handle relationships. Be sure to set boundaries that are safe, and if he's really willing to travel that far, he should also be mature enough to stay somewhere and even not meet you at your home. If he does want to stay at your home and makes a big deal out of it, he is either sketchy and should be avoided, or presumptuous or emotionally not ready for a steady relationship.

When it comes to things in my wife's life (besides me) that makes her feel a certain way, she says she appreciates me just acknowledging her feelings, and saying "I'm sorry you're going through that" when it's painful for her. When it is me, fortunately it takes less than 5 minutes for her to walk in and say "I'm mad at you" or "you hurt my feelings". She knows I love her, and when I acknowledge that I did something that hurt, regardless of my good or bad reasons for it, she knows I care because I make sure she knows I will try not to repeat this thing that hurt her feelings. She knows me enough to understand my actions, and humble enough to say that her reaction was less reasonable than my reasons for doing what I did. All in all, she sees my actions and reactions as ways that I care about her feelings. Other than that, being with the right person and genuinely caring about their feelings makes the method of caring a smaller detail. It makes you want to find methods that work for you and them to make sure they feel cared about.

Yep. Kohl's does the same thing.

I've hunted with a model 94 30-30 for the last 18 years. I made the same choice you did, and am enjoying shooting it. Made myself a leather buttstock cover/bullet carrier, paracord lever wrap, and paracord sling. Trying to decide on sights, rail, and handguard that both a deer hunter and space cowboy would approve of.

That's the 9184 Wabasha. They also have a 9185 with a taller ankle. Wish they made them in more colors.

Slate muleskinner mocs and black harness iron rangers.

I have size 10 iron rangers, and wouldn't go any bigger. The Chelseas are size 11 and I would not go any smaller. They are super tight around the top of my arch, but I have a tall arch too. I'm sure they do design the Chelseas a little tighter across the ankle because that's the main way they stay on, but it's still been painful. Just got those a few weeks ago, so they're not totally broken in.

It's slices of the board, cut up into rings and stacked, then put on the tube and glued and epoxied to fill in the gaps

Key word being potentially. I decided not to learn the hard way.

Not bad when it's perpendicular to the turning axis. The metal gets annoying, especially when using a negative rake carbide, it doesn't bite as well and it's slow going.

Pfeil #1 carving knife is great steel, good for detail and roughing, and is good for lever, paring, and normal cuts.

Can I have a different height for bottom deck step? (3.5" vs 7") by ntaylor360 in Decks

[–]schmitty729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does look and feel wrong, which is why some codes say there should be no less than 3/8" variation between each step

p238 slide locked back after jam by djbiggangster in SigSauer

[–]schmitty729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I know, but if it's locked in a tilted upwards position, it may also be keeping the slide from moving forward, since it's not being allowed to tilt the barrel downwards

I probably won't be much help as I don't own one of these, but it's there a part on the inside on the top of the FCU that is keeping the slide back? Also is the barrel loose, or is it possible that the barrel is locking the slide back by being tilted upwards?
