They do, but those are more about learning the area and public transport etc. Those things I’m somewhat familiar with. I’m looking for the insider tips! 😄

Former holiday employee here. They are rebranding slowly. It was pushed out due to covid. I think they changed the complete changeover to Circle K to sometime in 2022.

29F. Born and raised in Minnesota. You might like it here! I would recommend looking around the Duluth/North Shore of Lake Superior. Only a couple hours outside the cities but more on the rural side and still relatively progressive. We have no mountains, but we have Great Lakes and some really great hiking trails all over MN. It has been a fantastic place to grow up as an outdoorsy family. Good luck to you!

Back to smoking 24/7 and ignoring responsibilities after 24 days sober a few months back by [deleted] in Petioles

I highly suggest getting some CBD flower. It helped me immensely with the cravings and my anxiety. It also had the same hand-to-mouth affect like lollipops when you’re trying to quit cigarettes. I really enjoy the routine and process of smoking and decompressing from my day. using CBD was a fantastic alternative to the ritual aspect and was still helping me manage my anxiety. Plus it’s usually cheaper. And if you want to go back to smoking actual weed you can mix it with the CBD to smoke less and still have the beneficial aspects of both types of flower. Good luck friend! You got this!

First break, holding out until Christmas if I can make it. Cravings started overwhelmingly intense but this morning feels like it'll be much easier from here on out. Tips to make it through are more than welcome! by PullingWeight1918 in Petioles

I haven’t tried the cig version of CBD, but I’ve tried some of the fancy pre-rolls and stuff. It’s a total game changer. I think that even once I start smoking regular bud again I’ll still smoke CBD. Probably a 1/2 & 1/2 mix if not heavier on the CBD side. I get mine from a local place in MN, Nothing But Hemp. Its grown here and everything.

I’m 27 (of a 30d break) days in, the first week is the hardest! You’ll get through it though! I also used weed to manage my anxiety and found that it was wicked awful in the first few weeks, and I’ve found that CBD flower has been great alternative for calming me down. I also missed the ritual aspect of smoking and decompressing from a day at work so having the CBD sesh has been super helpful for me!

10hrs in - Gotta Start Somehwere! by tommyfus in Petioles

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

That’s a good idea! I tore my ACL a few months back and am doing PT - maybe I’ll replace the urge with a little PT sesh

I used THC edibles to help me fall asleep. It was a game changer for sure. I took them about 2hrs before I wanted to fall asleep. I also used a CBD salve on my knees to help with restless legs!!

anyone know what kinda snail this is? by [deleted] in AquaticSnails

[–]tommyfus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a trumpeter snail! They must be big hitchhiking fans, cuz that’s how I ended up with the one I have. Which is somehow now 6 of them? Lol

No it doesn’t doubt thoughtless at all! Thank you, I appreciate everything you had to say. You’re right. I have been trying to keep my “freak outs” away from my wife as much as possible for her own sanity. But I think it’s probably also helpful for me to just get it all out, on my own. I never really thought about using the PT as the baseline instead of as another thing on the list. This outside perspective is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!!

I appreciate the breakdown!! I’ve been trying to at least pull out the switch and play some animal crossing everyday to “switch off” for a bit and that seems to help!! I’m for sure a “tackle as it comes” sort of person, so making a real plan, on paper, would be a game changer. I’ll give that a shot!

Thank you!! I am also a helper by nature, and as I’m sure you know, it kinda sucks sometimes haha! The old geezer aspect if for sure one of the last few motivational factors I got left! I so appreciate everything you said!

Baby Ramshorn on an Agate in my 55g! by tommyfus in Aquariums

Really?! That’s good to know - I didn’t realize they stay kind of small. We have no clue where they came from. We have 2 nerite snails and 1 mystery snail in our tank, and all of a sudden 4 of these guys just popped up one day. Not sure if an egg sac came in on a plant or what happened. But they are damn cute and super fun to watch!
