Hi! My name’s Colin, I’m 15 and I’m from the Chicagoland area in Indiana. Since I was 13 I’ve wanted to get into reenactmenting, and have been a history lover my whole life. I would be most interested in doing a WW1 impression, specifically Austria-Hungary and the UK, but I’ve been told by people I’m too young, and I need more experience, is this true?

I’m just curious because I’ve met tons of people with the name and all of them spelled it differently. I golfed with a boy who spelled it Allan, my grandpa’s best friend is Alan. I think that Al Jardine is Alan as well, but I’m not sure

He knows I’m into coin collecting and he said he has a lot of Pennie’s, nickels and dimes from when he was a paperboy (so like early-very late 60’s I would guess [at least that’s when he found them]), and I am unreasonably excited for two reasons

1. They must be pretty good for him to have kept them for this long
2. I love the design Mercury Dimes, but I’ve never actually seen one in person, and I’m excited by the possibility of him having a few of them.

Should I actually be excited about it?

Not for today, but for sobering later this summer

I don’t even know if this is a hot take; I don’t know what is considered the best on the album, but I have not heard anyone say it’s their favorite on the album other than me, so I’m calling it one.

Since the Record Store next to Square Roots, I've done all my record shopping either on Discogs or elsewhere, and I haven't gone into the one in the Courthouse yet. To make sure I won't waste an afternoon, what is their selection like there? Do they have 45's?

So I am making an OC for my storyline on Linz during the 30’s and 40’s, and I have a few name ideas, but first I think I must describe the personality

Name; undecided
Gender; Male
Born; June 14th, 1923, Linz, Österreich
Hair color; Chesnut Brown, slightly wavy
Eye color; Blue-Grey
Build; thin
Personality; reserved, slow to warm up to people, a bit shy, afraid of adults, shouting, sudden loud noises, etc. has a few very good friends, other than that, nothing. Has tried to talk to girls in the past but has always failed miserably

So, here are the name ideas I’ve come up with so far, I’ve used records to try to make then as accurate as possible to the time;

1. Johannes Peter
2. Karl Wilhelm
3. Herbert Anton (Herb?)
4. George Daniel
5. George Rudolf
6. Walter Dietrich

If anyone else has any ideas, let me know! I'm very much open!

So Josef was born in 1888 in Pyzdry, Congress Poland
He went to Bremen, Germany in 1908 to immigrate to the United States
Under his immigration record from Germany, it said he was a “Butcher, Journeyman”
Obviously, I know what a butcher is, I wasn’t born yesterday, but the journeyman part? Is that a fancy way for the Germans to classify immigrants? Or is that a different job? I’m confused.

I will be completely honest; I engage in self pleasure way to often, I’m not sure if it’s healthy, and I’ve been trying to stop (or at the very least limit) myself from doing such actions. Sure I don’t have or watch any actual…videos, shall I say, but, and I know this is very weird and very morally wrong, I recorded my crush while they were in a bathing suit and I did…things to that video. I feel horrible, and I don’t know what to do. I have cried a lot once this situation, I don’t even know why such a terrible idea crossed my mind in the first place. And now, I’ve done something so stupid, that not only do I deserve to go to jail but I’m scared I might actually go there. Normally, I would ask for people not to be harsh, but at this point, I think I deserve it for everything which I’ve done.
