I’m no electrician, I’m a new landscaper.

I have a customer who inquired about getting an estimate to “fix” her current landscape lighting- she has lights all around her house that have been disconnected.

Do I just strip them and use those plastic connectors that are like caps that you twist to connect them all together?

It seems sorta straight-forward to just move clockwise around the house and connect everything but she says the bulbs need changed and power needs turned on to them-

I’ve never done any landscape lighting before.

Any advice or food for thought? I can try and upload pics later on today or tomorrow.

Any good suggestions or directions to any awesome “how-to” guides and videos online or on YouTube?

Id sincerely and appreciate all honest, earnest, knowledgeable advice and guidance and counsel?!

My girlfriend and I are both 39, we have been dating for 7 years, lived together for 5 of them, and things weren’t ever “perfect,” but they used to be a lot more tolerable then they have become.

Constant fighting because I call her out for being dishonest, she refuses to attend family functions like picnics and weddings, and she insists that I plan and revolve my schedule so that I am available to drive her to and from work (which I have done). She’s a nurse and I’m a landscaper.

She has refused to be intimate many MANY times, most days, and it’s gotten to the point where I can’t tolerate being rejected or denied anymore.

Just to toss it out there… We weren’t intimate on Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, New Years Day, my birthday, Valentine’s Day, our anniversary, or, her birthday- just to name a few “opportunities,” or “circumstances,” where you’d think it would happen.

I was very honest from the beginning of this relationship that I had a high sex drive and that I wanted someone who could “keep up,” with me. And she agreed and was able to… or so it seemed.

I’ve made every effort and tolerated this for as long as I can. We thought it might have been a medical issue at first but she has since given up that line of inquiry and, when that became the case, since then, I’ve grown increasingly unwilling to stand by her through this (whatever “this” even is).

We have no children.

And it’s to the point where I’m like, “okay, if you can’t do this for you and you can’t do it for me, then I’m going to stop doing anything for you,” and then I “boycotted” driving her to and from work.

And since then, she has been promising bj’s before I take her to work so I’ll drive her to work, only to have us fight about this when we get home and it doesn’t happen. She got her ride to and fro, I didn’t get my bj.

I don’t think asking to be intimate (a bj or sex) two or three times a week is asking for a lot. But if it is, please tell me. But 13 times in the last 18 months is unacceptable and I’m angry at her for denying me and I’m angry at myself for having tolerated this for as long as I have.

At the end of the day, I’m just a typical, normal dude.

I just need some advice or feedback or thoughts and I would appreciate it if you would comment honestly and candidly, but not insult me.

Good Morning my fellow players :)

I have questions for ya: WHERE SHOULD I PLACE MY FOCUS! and what’s your experience like using Doria?

I currently only have g4 level troops and Monsters Level II “unlocked,” or accessible to me.

I need a shit-ton of victory points to complete my research and I’m thinking she is the way, but I’m leery of upgrading her because it seems like I always learn I’ve made a mistake or wasted something or have set myself back, somehow, USUALLY ONLY AFTER having made said mistake, lol.

Having said that, I currently have the following roster…

My hero:

Garvel ( Level 50 )

My captains:

Helen ( Level 44, Star 1 )

Cleo ( Level 95, Star 3 )

Strohr ( Level 41, Star 3 )

Farhad ( Level 54 , Star 3 )

Carter ( Level 71 , Star 4 )

Aurora ( Level 50 , Star 3 ).

Additional Mentions (only because I was working on and using these before acquiring the others or having begun to learn how to play):

Logos ( Level 22 , Star 3 )

Aydae ( Level 41 , Star 1 )

Tengel ( Level 34, Star 4 )

Leonidas ( Level 56 , Star 2 )

Bernard ( Level 43 , Star 2 )

Minamoto ( Level 50 , Star 3 )

What are your thoughts as to where my focus should be, etc.?

While I do enjoy this game, it is addicting and I realize this game is nothing but a money grab and a time-suck, because it constantly has everyone running around needing to acquire things to complete tasks which work to improve other things ability to acquire even more things necessary to complete other tasks, and on and on, and around and around, we go :( BUT, so long as I can keep myself from spending any money more than the battle pass, I don’t really gamble or drink or smoke so, I look at it like this is my pack of cigarettes a week (I’m honestly growing more concerned about how much time playing it takes, or rather, how much time I’ve been spending playing it when I could be more productive elsewhere in life, lol).

I’m just not sure where I should place my focus at this point in the game or what my overall I guess strategy should be. I guess my strategy was, at first, to complete as much of the economic research I could, as fast as I could, so that I saved time and resource costs moving forward with gameplay (ie, it would be cheaper and quicker to do other research, upgrade a building, etc.).

This has turned into me now focusing on completing ALL, that’s right, THE ENTIRETY OF RESEARCH (which, I guess really isn’t a strategy so much as a requirement for continued play- I can’t unlock the next level of Monsters or Guardsmen, absent completing the requisite research).

I’ve been told by a clan-mate that Doria is only worthwhile if you have a low level account and that after G6, she’s pretty useless. But don’t have a low level account? I guess I’m also asking if I should waste immortal essence on “upgrading” or “increasing her Star power” at this point?

I would appreciate any and all SINCERE FEEDBACK MEANT TO HELP ME IMPROVE MY GAME! :)

Many MANY thanks, in advance,
