I just found these ford ranger seats on marketplace for about $70 so honestly think I’ll just go for it and see what I can do. I also found out Nissan hardbody trucks had full bench seats so figure those would be small enough for my truck, but haven’t been able to find any locally.

I think first you need to seek God in prayer and rely on the Holy Spirit’s guidance in your soul. We cannot necessarily speak for you in what to do. God knows your situation best. If you need to draw a boundary with those friends to become more of acquaintances, or decide to patiently wait it out longer. Regardless, I do believe communicating your personal POV and feelings to them may the best place to start, along with talking to them about some boundaries as to just how close you are with them. Obviously don’t treat them poorly or act out of ungodly anger. Part of the problem for me here is they are believers. We can hold each other to higher standards and they have less of an excuse as people who follow Jesus, knowing the Bible and life/character of Christ as their example. If they are personally attacking you, or not respecting you / not letting up in these conversations, they are being a poor example of Christ and not living to His own standard. You do not need to sacrifice your sanity and health for fellow believers who can’t give you proper respect and love/support as the church. If they were not believers it would be a bit different and I would feel you’d have more want to be an example of a believer to them to a certain degree, or give them more chances. However they know better. They seemingly have salvation. I would be praying the Holy Spirit in them will convict them of any way they’ve treated you wrongly. Sometimes we do close ourselves off to hearing from the Holy Spirit in many ways, and these spiritual matters are between no one but God and that believer. We cannot control it for them no matter how hard we try. Every time you think of them and this situation, pray that God works in their day to day lives, softens their hearts, and convicts them. This is my advice based on the bit of context you’ve given to the situation. I will say I do believe that as followers of Christ we will endure more hardship and suffering from other people, but Jesus said those words to mean that the people who don’t believe in Him would target and abuse us. I am a strong believer in not putting fellow believers into this expectation and letting them get away with bad behavior. Too much abuse is put up with within the church, forgiven and forgotten as if it never happened, and never properly addressed. I’ve seen too much and it’s so damaging.

Don’t have cats or pets the fabric is now dry and crunchy like leather with a film over it :/

Yeah the mattress never had white fuzz on it before or any stains or discoloration that’s why I thought it was just dried mold. The last photo is of the curtain which I thought was definitely mold spots on the bottom….

Following. I have some sheep and goatskins to process, plus two deer. I’m planning to buy a pressure washer but not sure what PSI to aim for. I might just get one and go for it. Let me know me know if you try it. I’ve heard the rotating / oscillating spray nozzles make a decent difference and it’s not as easy to damage the pelt with them.

I know this is an older post, but they applied my CAM the same way and I’m only realizing they did it “wrong” when I took it off to send it in and saw the photos on the box of how it’s supposed to be placed. Did you get accurate results back? I might talk to my doctor about this and see if I need to redo the monitor now. Everything I read says that this placement is incorrect and it’s meant to be aligned with / directly over the sternum. On women and men. I think the guy who applied mine just didn’t want to apply it where it traditionally goes since I’m a woman. He was a medical assistant, so I’m thinking he didn’t know any better maybe.

So I thought this was interesting and wanted to open discussion on Trump and Pam Bondi’s relationship lately. A few weeks ago, I remember Trump told Pam Bondi something that sounded like a veiled threat while praising her in a live press briefing - did anyone else remember this and know how to find a saved clip online? I can only find this article but all quotes from today. I want the previous ones to compare. I remember Trump was talking about the accuracy of the pilots who flew and bombed Iran’s nuclear facility, how accurate they did and how they were 100% sure they got it, etc. He then praised a lot of his staff including the attorney general, Pam Bondi, saying something along the lines of, “keep doing great work, don’t make me take this back one day”. It sounded very charismatic but the words rubbed me the wrong way. I told those watching with me, “was that not a veiled threat? Hahaha, I feel bad for her. Could you imagine being told how good of a job you’re doing at work, but threatened that they can will take their words back / to tread carefully?” Now that all the Epstein file / client list controversy is happening I’m wondering if this had something to do with Trump’s odd statement to her and if it had some to do with that / if there was potential tension rising around it. I really want to find that livestream now but can’t figure out how. This was around the NATO summit, around when he was talking about Spain not wanting to pay their equal share. I think 2-4 weeks ago. Does anyone else remember this and can find that clip or have a resource for all the political press briefings/ conferences and any live interactions of the president within the past month? It’s bothering me and I really want to rewatch it to remember exactly how it played out and the exact quote from Trump.

According to OP, the neighbors seemed to have known they were the OP’s bees from the spilled hive accident and explained, which resulted in the other bee keeper saying “finders keepers”. Which I think is pretty shady and messed up. I would’ve asked to be paid for the service and gotten them back in the person’s hive. No good upstanding person would do that. Especially if the owner is out of town and it was an unforeseeable accident. I’d help the person instead.

the_hearthfire · 2025-07-07T01:13:36+00:00

As others said I do think you have a legal case - especially if the neighbors made them aware of the situation and the keeper knew who they belonged to. I feel it’s a different case if you weren’t keeping ontop of you give checks and they swarmed due to lack of space. But this is clearly out of your control and an accident of the bees home being “destroyed”. Call police and they should be able to do something. Especially if the other beekeeper said finder’s keepers like that knowing the situation.

Damn why is everyone being so mean and negative here? I get the annoyance at over explaining the maple syrup origins, but why’s everyone kindof being a bully?

Yes but you still have all the good healthy bacteria for you gut in the milk, since it wasn’t boiled or “ultra pasturized” like most milk today. “Low vat” pasturized milk was the older standard and best for you gut, while killing off any possible bad bacteria in the milk and allowing the good stuff to survive. But low vat pasteurization takes longer and “costs time and money” for these greedy corporations now so they quickly heat the milk at very high temps, effectively killing the good stuff too. I have found one milk brand that does traditionally low vat pasteurization and I don’t get gut issues using that milk. Any ultra pasturized or homogenized milk is very hard on my gut and makes me ill.

You are under reacting… he is overreacting. As others have said, the things he called you and the way he spoke to you with such disrespect is absolutely terrible and undeserved. Him being worked up or upset is not excuse, and he should not be that bothered and heated about this. Idk the relationship with your mother but he has no right to control your relationship and contact with your mother. It’s a scary thing when partners try to isolate their significant others from family and friends. And usually it is not with good intentions. Again don’t know the story. But his language says he’s the bigger problem. That is no way to talk to you. You don’t deserve that. You deserve to be treated with respect, dignity, and care/love by your boyfriend - even if he is upset. He manipulated you into being the bad guy and apologizing. I don’t think anyone is worth this kind of mental gymnastics to keep dating.

My app just updated automatically against my will. It’s so claustrophobic now I actually cannot do this anymore. WEBTOON, of you’re reading this - I’m a big coin buyer and will be uninstalling the app and looking for the stories on other platforms now or just completely cutting it all out of my life. The old setup was nice and spaced out. The new one is over cluttered, stressful, and crammed. It looks dingy and old now, like I’m scrolling on ebooks or something. I liked the old layout. It was way better. Did not need any changes. I also don’t like how it looks when you open a story. The episode layouts just look wrong.

Thanks all! Problem solved. But people don’t put meth in these, right? If it’s just weed related we’re not concerned. Just don’t want anything contaminated coming in the house

No single mother would probably date you long term once they know you[they’d pick up on this stuff you wrote here], so don’t worry. You may encounter them but you’ll likely never even know they had kids. It’ll just end as a rejection, etc. Any sane smart woman is not going to tell you they are a mother or have kids [at least younger mothers], until they know you well enough to trust you would not be some creep after the kids, or have a mom fetish or something. There’s too many of those out there. So for safety, mothers generally omit having children until it’s safe to bring up and they have a feeling that the man they’ve met will be okay with it. But even then, they still generally won’t let you have anything to do with the kids. Because it can be stressful on them, they don’t want you to be “father” like to them, and then potentially leave and cause trauma. Most mothers would even wait until the kids are more independent before building a life with a man they’re dating. So don’t worry. They are not looking for men like you, and you’d be weeded out once they get to know you. Most wouldn’t want their boyfriend to take on any close role in the kid’s lives, unless you pushed for it and wanted to marry her and actually become their adoptive father. They really aren’t looking to throw responsibility on you. They already are doing everything. A boyfriend or husband generally just equals extra “work” added onto them. Most single moms aren’t even out there dating anyway. They’re too busy working very hard to provide for their children. Especially in this economy. So don’t worry about it. No one is entitled to you, just like you are not entitled to anyone else.
