I've been intentionally abstinent for about 405 days after a difficult breakup. Over that time, I've done a lot of healing and self-reflection, and I've recently started exploring my sexuality and becoming more open to new experiences.

Tomorrow I may meet up with someone I connected with online. It could also involve my first experience in the swinger lifestyle.

Part of me is excited, but another part is wondering if I'm rushing into a situation just because I've been abstinent for so long. I don't want to make a decision just to "end the streak" if that's what's really driving me.

For those who've broken a long period of abstinence, especially after a breakup or while exploring something new, did you regret it? What helped you know you were actually ready versus just caught up in the moment?

I choose abstinence as a way to heal post longterm breakup, I feel like Im ready to shed this era of my life but I'm not scared of restarting the streak either. It's my first one but I'm not scared of it being my last one

I have a 2023 Jeep Renegade with 62,000 miles that's been having infotainment issues for several months. The radio will randomly turn off and back on, the screen flickers, and sometimes it goes completely black before rebooting. Recently it got much worse and now it mostly stays in a reboot loop with the screen flickering before going blank.

Last week, for the first time, the battery unexpectedly died after the Jeep had only been parked for about 6 hours following a normal drive. It needed a jump start. The radio issues, however, started months before the battery died.

I'm planning to get the battery and alternator tested, but I'm wondering:

Has anyone had a similar issue on a 2023 Renegade?

Did it end up being a bad battery, a faulty infotainment unit, or something else?

Could the radio have been slowly draining the battery, or are these likely two separate problems?

If it was the radio, did a software update fix it, or did the head unit need to be replaced?

The Jeep is otherwise stock with no aftermarket electronics.

Issue with my radio turning off and on for random reasons. Now it's just stuck in an on/off loop and never fully turning on anymore. Anyone has experience changing the radio or just removing the upholstery to get to the wiring?

Hey guys/gals and everything in between! Looking to commit to learning French but realized how hard it is for me without an accountability buddy. Also wanting to improve the communication in my own neighborhood, just started Ubering and been in banking for 5 years now so Spanish is up next. So I thought why not both at the same time. Willing to have multiple partners for both languages.

FYI: my background is Central Florida, not really countryside but I consider myself a country business ma. I have always loved and worked my vocabulary and understanding the minute details of words since I was kid! Have plenty of knowledge of each language just nothing concrete to form sentences! Even basics of ASL.

​

Would prefer to be on a weekly call or video chat schedule for consistency, preferably twice a week for each language.

Looking to get into some type of camping, I would love to use my car as the base of it since I already own it. What would be the beginner list to get started looking for a camping ground and equipment. Any positive thoughts will be greatly appreciated!
