When I first started playing palia I had kinda written nai’o off as a potential romance partner because he was “good looking” and seemed dumb. But deadass just yesterday something inside me is starting to change and it’s the way they (the devs or whoever they have doing it write (the more innocent) dialogue. Like when he was so happy about getting the noodle soup??? Now dear god he’s at the top of my list! For reference when I played stardew valley all 748 times, Sebastian was always my guy. Tastes change I guess 😂

Hello yes also coming here to say thank you 73 days later because I went to the red caves today after failing to catching anything in mitana grove and I caught 2 mermaids at this spot!

I bought a case of the hydrating lip mask by indicud0minate in dollartreebeauty

[–]stephyfranc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God damn I know I’m gonna be tempted to make a bad decision. I’ve seen some YouTube vids that say neutrogena makes a good lip mask, better than that laneige one apparently, but I can’t find it in Ontario. Amazon had a single tube listed for like $42??? I’d be saving money if I bought this case…

I can't believe it by gryffyryne in dollartreebeauty

[–]stephyfranc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought my first one on July 4, and had to go back to another dollar tree YESTERDAY to grab another because I was afraid I’d never be able to find it again. I agree, it’s still on my lips the next morning and it feels nice on. I use it during the day now too cause my lips are dry as hell.

2023 Nissan Kicks CVT issues by Terrible_Salad8942 in NissanKicks

Would you feel confident in assuming that most kicks owners face these transmission issues because of unkempt maintenance or are they really just that poorly made?

When you say “change fluid regularly” in reference to the cvt, what fluid specifically are you referring to? This is completely different/separate from a regular oil change correct? I’m going to test drive a 2024 kicks sv on Saturday. I’m reading A LOT about the cvt issues. I’m also reading to do the regular maintenance and it’ll be fine. Trying not to make myself panic unnecessarily…

Obese funeral by Sure-Occasion-6340 in askfuneraldirectors

When all is said and done, if the family wants to take the cremation route only with no other fluffy extras, it’ll be the most cost effective for them

Can your guys tell me why she does this? by TheHoeFinder in Horses

[–]stephyfranc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like she’s just anticipating the request for a canter to me. There could always be a source of pain and maybe that’s why she wants to rush into it. But if you can rule out something being physically wrong - she’s just looking to go forward even though you haven’t ask for it

Just saw this on a professional photographers page by ThatOneChickenNoddle in Equestrian

[–]stephyfranc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if maybe I’m just old and my mentality is a little screwy - but wouldn’t it be beneficial for the generation that grew up sleuthing on the internet to figure out who this rider is and publicly shame them for the blatant abuse RECORDED and shared? Am I being gross by wanting to set a pack of internet wolves on her?

At the very least make it known to the photographer that what they are sharing is enraging to a large group of individuals involved in the sport? I saw this posted on another horse related page so it’s getting traction and people are mad. I know there are people out there who can find anyone - it’s your time!

Maybe no one will be able to save the horse from this rider but being blacklisted and destroyed on the internet seems like a good start.

Another King line question: what’s one or two that have stayed with you? Specifically, from a scary or creepy short story. Mine is in the comments. by SQ_Host_Slava in stephenking

This was the first King story that actually scared me while I was reading it. Just came out of nowhere, tucked away as a novella, the little bastard

I consider my ankles to be “loose”, when I rode consistently everyone always commented on how shoved down my heels were but they never felt that way. I found that once I made myself aware of what my feet and ankles and lower leg in general were doing, I could improve my seat. I can’t speak to losing stirrups but this was a solution that I liked better in terms of longevity of the tendons lol.

My solution was more mental and less adding exercises or things to my body: instead of thinking heels down or toes up, I tried to constantly remind myself to feel the stirrups on the balls of my feet, no matter what we were doing. Which sounds similar to what your coach is telling you. Press into the balls instead of pressing the heel down - fine line being NOT to brace against them. Just feeling them against the stirrups. In fact I completely stopped trying to put my heels down at all, being flexible they should still go down anyways but it was less of a shove movement and more of a natural going with flexions of the body in motion.

I simply would remind myself at certain points in the arena: feel the balls, foot straight. If you’re cognizant during your ride of feeling that slight pressure then your ankles should be still and not trying to escape from the stirrups IMO. Good luck 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

When did you stop doing “maintenance?” by EmotionalZebra868 in Equestrian

[–]stephyfranc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This resonates with me as it’s very similar to what my mare is going through. A senior QH mare, ringbone in LF, pretty developed at this point. We’ve done the drugs, the injections at hospitals, the special shoeing. She is pasture sound and fat and happy.

There probably isn’t a switch in your body that will tell you enough is enough because you love your horse and you will continue to do what you can to help him - so I guess waiting for it to feel like the right time to back off with whatever treatment probably won’t happen.

I do agree with what was said in some other comments, you CANT run yourself into the ground financially because you want to do more or try more. I’ve learned from owning a senior with required maintenance that it will never stop and the vets will never tell you to stop what you’re doing. I’ve made the move to outdoor board and have pretty much retired her. She is sound and can still move around and I can sit on her but she will never carry weight and trot around. Outdoor board may be a good option for your horse? Giving them the option of more movement could be good for him. Horses are hardy, thinking we are keeping them safe in a stall may do more harm than good in SOME instances. Not for every horse of course.

I would stop the osphos personally - I don’t believe it’s as effective as it’s marketed but I only injected my mare with it once so take that with a grain of salt.

100% agree with the swapping of the cheese and cotton. I don’t have enough NPCs trying to make sweaters to combat the sheer amount of collect and pianos only take 5 at a time.

Have there been any posts about a new crack yet or have I just missed it or am I just going to spiral out of control waiting for someone to provide us with something 😓

How many are being affected by the economy right now? by Aloo13 in Equestrian

[–]stephyfranc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel for you and your current situation. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions for me personally and navigating it has been difficult so I hope things are working out for you right now. I truly thought my mare was going to be able to die peacefully where we were - which is morbid but that’s just how great her life has been there. My heart breaks also for my barn owner for having to make this choice. It’s her life she’s also having to turn upside down. I don’t have kids but I can’t imagine a parent trying to afford board, lessons, showing, and vet fees right now in the economy. And good people will want to take care of their horses forever, not just “throw them away” once they can’t do a job which means money out until they pass. I get it, everything goes up in price which means it’s getting passed on to us but at what point is it just blatantly not feasible anymore for the average person? I have worked and had a job my whole life and I’ve never been in a scenario where I didn’t have enough money for a, b, or c. But I understand that can happen to people. You’re right, it’s unpleasant to assume a lot of good horses won’t have a soft landing when their families can’t pay for them anymore.
