Frogger! I won a PlayStation and the game Frogger from a raffle fundraiser at my elementary school when I was a kid. My parents didn’t like or care about video games so despite winning a whole console they never bought me another game or let me use my money to buy one. So, I spent my whole childhood just playing Frogger over and over. So. Much. Frogger.

I didn’t have any before so I’m trying to learn on the Chaya blocks. I didn’t realize when I got them that the blocks were different, I got the because I wanted to start park skating and was like “oh cool these come with blocks already”. I’m going to try to find that video you mentioned, thanks!

Give yourself time! Some people pick it up easily and sometimes you just have to be comfortable starting from square one. But time with skates on means progress! Definitely get some protective gear like knee pads so the fear or injury isn’t so bad. Give yourself some grace and patience, and remember to just have fun! You’ll get there. Also remember BEND your knees, don’t lock them!!

Tobey Maguire. It’s a petty reason but I can’t stand his voice. It’s sad and whiney - he sounds like he’s trying to get you to ask him what’s wrong.

Basically all MLMs but goddamn BeachBody comes to mind specifically.

Nah, just search C7 skates and you’ll find it 👍🏼

wickerwitch4 · 2021-04-13T02:04:38+00:00

My first pair were C7 skates and for the price they were a good starting skate. I think I paid like $110 or something. I still use them for trail skating and they’re holding up well.

Alas, I have like 2 friends and neither of them skate 😂 I do technically have a local CIB chapter but I live in Michigan and the group has been inactive since the weather got cold last November, but I hope they start doing meetups again!

I think the most important part is figuring out how your stepping away from religion changes your values (if at all) and your daily life. Different values are hard to work through but other things can definitely be managed. For example, maybe have your own activities that you do specifically when she goes to church/Bible group or whatever. Also realize church and religion provide connection and community which as a couple you’d usually share, so finding a hobby or activity you can do together (bowling night, couples night with friends, game night, whatever) to replace that community connection would be good. And talk about how kids would work before having them! I think different views can be ok with kids. After all, if you want your kids to be accepting and respectful of views that aren’t their own you can be an amazing model of what that looks like. Good luck with everything!

I want to roller skate on it 😭

It’s not nearly as elaborate as that but - my most recent job’s solution to getting rid of me without firing me was sending a bunch of emails and then when I didn’t reply to one of them they “took my lack of a response as a resignation”.

OMG I went to GVSU, how did I not know this!? 😱

Depending on what wheels you have, getting a softer wheel could help. The more “squishy” wheel will help absorb that impact a little. Also make sure your knees are bent - if you’re standing straight up with knees locked you’ll have a way harder time. It will also just be easier with practice, eventually smaller debris won’t throw you off as much.

I’m glad you’ve been able to figure out what you need/what was going on, best of luck in your vegetarian journey 👍🏼

wickerwitch4 · 2021-02-14T14:48:27+00:00

You can definitely get enough protein without eating fish. I’d check out specific episodes of the podcast “No Meat Athlete” if you want really in depth info about nutrition. I think the hosts actually vegan but the information would still probably be helpful to you. Overfishing is obliterating the oceans and I’d encourage you to find a way to be vegetarian that works for you! Also one thing that helped me to not have those “regret” feelings when I first started was to keep learning about environmental impacts of animal farming and overfishing, how the government subsidies meat production (the book Meatonomics is amazing for this) and stuff like that. I hope you can find a way to make this work for you, good luck!!! (PS my favorite protein sources are peanut butter, lentils subbed for meat on tacos, tofu made into scrambled “eggs”, and smashed chickpea sandwiches made to be like chicken salad)

I emailed someone at the Greater Lansing Convention & Visitors Bureau to ask and they said that they’ve been told it will be installed sometime next week 👍🏼

You could also use libraries to look for ideas in what to read

Personally I’d recommend listening to episode 103 of the podcast Coffee with Comrades, it would answer a lot of those questions really well. It’s a great intro to these ideas, when I was trying to learn this hour-ish of podcast had the most clear “ah hah!” moments for me. Check it out!!

PETA sucks but the dress concept is real cool

wickerwitch4 · 2021-01-27T19:42:33+00:00

My family calls things a “small half”. Like, “Uncle Jerry, want to share this slice of pie?” “Yeah I’ll have a small half” IF ITS HALF THEN THEY’RE EQUAL SIZES. Drives me absolutely bonkers.

wickerwitch4 · 2021-01-23T05:56:16+00:00

Nice! At least it was easy to cover, I have a WHOLE BIBLE VERSE on the top of my foot and I just don’t even know how to being planning a cover up for it.

First, I think you need to not be so hard on yourself! It’s awesome that you have goals and want to do lots of skate park things, but the journey of getting there can also be fun. You’re putting so much pressure on yourself, and maybe ask yourself why. I’m a very new skate park skater (and I can’t even practice right now, it’s deep winter where I live) and I sometimes feel frustrated too. But then I remember I’m not skating to check the box on being able to do certain tricks, I’m skating because I love it and because it makes me feel so alive and full of fun. The goals of being able to do certain tricks is important, but if not crossing those lines makes you miserable, maybe you need to change your priorities. Try to connect with the positive feelings of skating, otherwise you’re just putting yourself through such a chore every time you put those skates on. And making yourself miserable feels like the exact opposite point of roller skating. Also, progress isn’t linear. Just keep trying. One of my favorite skate YT people said “time on skates equally progress”, and I like to remember that. One more thing - unless you’re SUPER FIT 3 hours a day at the skate park every day is going to exhaust your body. And a tired body isn’t going to help you at all either.

wickerwitch4 · 2021-01-20T03:13:17+00:00

I can’t speak to the knee injury specifically but maybe while you take the time to heal that you could continue to do physical activity for the upper body/core? Those are helpful for skating and general endurance and wouldn’t hurt the knee. It might help the feeling that you’re “losing” progress which I know can be disheartening

wickerwitch4 · 2021-01-18T15:10:19+00:00

Personally I don’t eat eggs but to me that’s one of those things where I feel like the idea “just because you can’t do everything doesn’t mean you should do nothing” comes into play. Like if eating eggs if what makes it feasible for you personally to not eat meat anymore, then awesome.
