Roscoe and hus brother Kubrick soaking in the end of Summer.
Would you believe I had to lift him up onto the hay bail? He's not the most athletic boy. Probably why we relate to each other so much. 😆

I found these skulls years ago. Both on different trips to one of my favorite hikes in the Eastern Idaho woods that ends at a sunken in mining cabin from late 1800's. I'm pretty sure the bigger one is a cow. But I'm not sure about the other. It's much more narrow. Any ideas? Again so the post doesn't get removed I found these in Eastern, Idaho. A few miles into woods.
I am looking for anyone or any place that will let me in to their abandoned property to explore. It doesn't even have to be some big well known place. I'd just really like to be able to go somewhere like a ghost town, or an old prison, or whatever, but where I can explore it on my own at night. I'm in the eastern Idaho area but go to southern Idaho a lot as well. Everywhere I can find is either in Boise or they don't let the public inside. Any ideas or suggestions on who to contact or where to start?
I've been dying and bleaching my hair for the last 20 years. I didn't even really know what my "natural" color was. I decided to just let the weight of that tired and worn down hair go, and get a fresh start. It was scary, but I'm so glad I did it.
SO good. I've wanted to shave my head forever. I had hair that went just past my shoulders. I colored and bleached it so many times. Did every color you could think of. It was so dry and broken and frizzy and heavy. And every time I wore it down I just ended up pulling it up. I started seeing videos of women buzzing their hair and they all just GLOWED after. I took it as a sign and I did it.
I haven't told or shown anyone yet. Including my husband. I don't think he's gonna be happy about it but you know what? I feel happy about it. And it's my hair. And just with everything, it's only temporary. :) I feel the most like me I've felt in a long time.
Update: Husband came home from work. I kid you not he won't even look at me. He has yet to even make eye contact with me or say one thing about it. It hurts a little but he barely looked at me before anyway. I still feel good with it and I'm excited to learn more about myself in this transition.
I feel like I am seeing more downvoting lately on just normal frustrations anyone would have about being in a parental role.
I know there's adults who lurk this sub just to express frustration at step parents frustrations but it's gotten bad lately. Don't these people have anything better to do?
I have two step sons who are 13 and 11. They live with their mom and step dad about 4 hours away. I always dread the summers because it means long stays. My house is small and it gets crowded quickly with two extra people here. Every flat surface is covered in their stuff. Trading cards, stuffed animals, candy, books, toys, etc. The only TV in the house gets taken over the whole time so they can play video games. Even my personal computer gets used so they, the two kids and my husband, can all play Minecraft together. Even though all my husband does is yell at them because they aren't playing the way he wants them to.
But this visit has drained me from 30% battery to 5%. With no charging to be found. Because right before they came for their 3 week stay, my husband ran out of his medication. And he has to go back to his doctor to get more refills. And he's not going to do that while the kids are here because he'll "miss time with them." And when he doesn't take his medication the difference is noticeable and downright intolerable. He has ADHD and Autism and his medication really helps him focus and regulate and have structure. When he doesn't take it, he acts just like his kids. So essentially I have three 12 year old boys in my house and no parent. I can't talk to him about anything without him interrupting multiple times to make sound effects, fake punch me and the dogs, dry hump me, grab at my chest, or say one of his three vocal stims 10 times. I just tried to talk to him about our dogs paw pads because they are drying out and fraying and I couldn't say three words without him interrupting me to put his junk in my face or fake punch me with sound effects. I feel so exhausted and stranded and I honest to god can feel the effects of the stress in my body all day. I can't sleep. My joints hurt. My chest hurts. I can hardly think. I go to work and I don't want to come home because it's just a turbulence of children and a partner that acts like a child.
They all went out of town overnight for one night and it's the first time in months I slept through the whole night and felt like I wasn't on edge.
Roscoe (2 years) is reactive. He tends to become defensive when walking out in public and he sees another dog ir someone approaches us. However when in a large crowd he does really well. My husband tends to have the philosophy of, "Well he whines in the car so he can't go in the car." Or "He barks at strangers so he can't go around the public." I feel like how will he ever get better without practice and familiarity? So he came with us to the Independence Day celebrations in the park and he did SO well! I was so proud of him. He was observant but calm and even when an unsupervised kid threw a firecracker at us, (which I promptly took care of) Roscoe maintained his composure. I just love him so much!
I work in the public and attended a couple events today as well and I only saw two people wearing horrendous MAGA merch. Everyone else went with a much more America focused attire and less politician focused.
I live in a tiny, isolated, mostly LDS and majority Conservative town so it was just nice to see most people expressing love for their country and not the men who run it.
That's it. I have no clue why it happened. I haven't crafted anything from The Death Roll outfit yet and yet there I was dripped out in it from head to toe. I changed my clothes because I don't feel like that outfit fits my Arthur and then it completely disappeared from my inventory.
What a strange glitch.
Like many people my age in America I am a paycheck to paycheck kind of person. I don't have 50+ dollars to spend on merch for the creators I like as much as I wish I did. So I end up only getting to wear merch I can find secondhand and discounted heavily. For the LIFE of me I have not once ever seen GMM merch at a thrift store. But somehow I've found the same exclusive shirt you get if you do the Zak Bagans Haunted Museum VIP tour TWICE! lol. I see lots of band shirts, other YouTubers and content creators but no GMM. :/
I wish there stuff was more affordable but if it's expensive because it's decent quality then that's fair. I check their clearance stuff from time to time but it's always just out of reach for me.
I bought this car 8 months ago as a salvage title (it was stolen and written off) so it only has 78,000 miles on it and I got it for 11,000. I really love it but I noticed that the coolant was draining quicker then it should. In 8 months I have gone through two jugs of coolant. I got into my mechanic and they replaced the water pump but he told me while doing that he saw there was JB weld on the engine block which he assumes is covering a crack. I have no clue how long it's been fixed that way but from what he showed me it doesn't look worn down. I can't afford 10,000 to replace the whole engine so realistically should I prepare for the worst? I have someone that could possible weld the aluminum but I will never have the money to replace the engine.
Does anyone have the history on the Magnuson Alumni House in Pocatello? My sister lived in the basement a long time ago and anytime I stayed with her I felt freaked out there. Like people were upstairs at night. There were stairs leading from the basement apartment she lived on up to the main floors and I always felt like someone was on the stairs and in the hallway. Is anyone familiar with the place and know who has lived there in the past?
I'm so jealous of anyone that has seen them live but if you've seen them perform The Summoning live...tell me about it. Or tell me what was your favorite track they performed live? I'm too broke too get to experience it. lol.

It's from one of those bands that mashes up different songs together. The creator said it's either Girl Talk or E-603 but they can't remember. Does it sound familiar to anyone?
