Hi everyone. I’m very excited to try to book a night in San Jose del Pacifico. It looks like a beautiful town, but the reason I would be going is for the mushrooms. I don’t like ceremonies and I prefer to keep to myself when taking them. Is this a good time to go down? I have heard things have returned to normal, and that there is not any cartel influence?

I’m 25, seeing a former coworker. We worked together for a few months, and when I found out she was switching departments I gave her my number. While we worked together, we wouldnt talk much, but she would try to get me to notice her enough where other people would call her out on it. Wed only see eachother in passing but we would have a lot of tension. Anyway, I’ve been on six dates with her. We haven’t even slept together yet, unfortunately when she wanted to be intimate I just wasn’t feeling right, not sure why. I am just so wildly attracted to this woman. 95% of the time when I know someone likes me, I ignore it, or I see if I like them before I ask them out, but I’ve had a crush on her since I first saw her, and I think she liked me even more than I liked her, at least before our last couple dates, I think it’s even now. Is it normal to be thinking about her a lot? Like a good part of my day I’ll think about the times we’ve spent together. I think I’m intentionally taking things slow because I like her so much? Like I kiss her every time we meet and have made out heavily and hold hands and everything but I won’t close the gap and try to have sex with her.

I have been at the same job for five years, I have been getting a lot of good experience on my resume, but I am entirely burned out. I am a service dept manager at a car dealership. I am not sure if its the environment I work in or the repetition but I am tired of living in PA with the same roommates for the past four plus years. The biggest thing I need is a different role at a different company in a different state. I have applied to some jobs in South Carolina where a majority of my friends live post college and say it is really nice. I have three companies I am in the mid stage interviews with and to be honest each time I come out of an interview I come out feeling better my situation is almost over? My emotional bandwidth is very weak, like I cannot even get enough energy to date, which sucks because there are a few girls I really like but I just feel completely numb around them which is hard to describe. Like I went on a date recently with this girl that checked every box for me, but I was just emotionally checked out to the point where i could not look less interested, it was not intentional but I just shut down. I have roughly 115k in a HYSA and even though I took forever to save that the money feels like it will always be there, which may be a shitty way to look at it, but it is what's leading me to my next idea if these interviews don't lead to anything- quit my job, travel to a beach town, take a few months off and apply to jobs like clockwork. I still don't want to continue to live in PA so any jobs I apply to will have remote interviews so I see no reason why I can't (aside from timezone and maybe data issues) do an interview from a hotel in SE Asia or something. I spent a solid 10 hours tweaking my resume and since my last change I have had three companies interview me and I am at different stages with each but I am moving forward, so I guess this means if I quit my job there still is a high likelihood of me getting a job after?

Hi, I’m 23M, I live in Worcester county actually but looking to explore more of the Boston area/suburbs. I am a pretty relaxed and chill person, love Boston sports, dirt biking, cars, snowboarding and business. Just looking to see if anyone is going to any nice bars/clubs tonight amd would like to meet up.

I have an 03 ktm 450 exc. this bike has been problematic for me. My fuel screw came out all the way and I put it back in, rode it but wasn’t running perfect. Anyway, on the trail it just shut off. I had to walk it back a couple miles, but I did get it to bump start and it died out after slowing down. Since then, ive rebuilt the carb, tried starting it and it will not start. It will try to catch, but won’t start. It has spark. My compression tester reads 30-40 psi when starting with the electric start. I know this bike has manual and auto decompression but I can’t imagine that’s normal? Now I’m trying to adjust my valves but like I said it just died on the trail. Any advice assuming this valve adjustment doesn’t change anything?

Hi, i have a bit of a predicament to say the least. I’m in the middle of likely moving back home (different part of the country) to pursue my dream job. At my current job there’s this girl. I work with a lot of beautiful women, but only one other time in my life have I been this attracted to someone, and the difficult part of that was that it was equally mutual, and it was intense. Anyway, we don’t even speak the same language, but she’s done quite a bit of stuff to get my attention, and the cutest part is I’ll try to talk with her or just look at her a bit too long and she’ll either let out like a nervous laugh, or she’ll get really flustered (in a positive way, I think) my job has a lot of gossip and I prefer to stay to myself, but it seems very apparent she has told a few people or everyone she likes me, and given the stuff she’s done to get my attention, she doesn’t care to keep it private. Like my coworker and I were in the office kinda was like one of the new girls likes you and wants your number, I waited a minute was like fine, which one, he told me her without saying her name. Anyway I’m saying this because I like to keep my life separate from work, and I don’t know if thats the issue, if I’m worried about getting attached then moving, or if I’m literally too scared to give her my number, which I haven’t had an issue with since like middle school?

I don’t know if this is the right place to post or not, but I’m trying to find a job in a different part of the country so I can be closer to family. I had a few interviews one of which I’m waiting to hear if I moved on to the next rd. The premise for this post probably sounds stupid but I’m genuinely wondering if there is a way to move on, or stop thinking about someone I work with and like. The past 2~ months since she started she’s been doing things to get my attention, enough for at least one person to have called it out. This creates a weird feeling in my body because every time I need to be with her or if I walk by her I try to just do what I need but I never know if she’s going to orchestrate something. As much as I like her, I’m not a huge fan of the attention games, but more importantly, I need to shut her out completely in my mind. Like I said I need to focus on my move and not think so much about someone I work with, especially if I’m moving in a month or two.

I have an older KTM, I bought it last year because it was priced fairly and it seems like every week I’m having to work on it. The only saving grace for this bike is that it can handle any terrain, and I think it would be too much work trying to replace it during riding season. The start of the season I broke my clutch lever, thankfully had a replacement. A month ago my rear wheel bearing went out when on a technical rocky trail, and now that I’m riding really big rocks (I guess slower stuff) either my carb is off or something because it wants to die out in first when going slow (I Chex the air screw) I stalled it so much today that I killed the battery, walked it probably half a mile theouhh rocks to get to the road, bump started it, seemed to charge ok so I went back on the trail only for it to die out again. This isn’t really the bikes fault but I spent at least an hour today pushing it through the trail

My entire life, I have had terrible anxiety. I had a very bizarre, but positive experience (wasn’t positive in the moment) that I think rewired me biologically (I was sober) I believe since then, I have been different. My anxiety is still there, but I just don’t really care anymore, both in good and bad ways. I don’t try to impress anyone and I’m not trying to be entertaining to people I’m not close with, but it seems my not caring attitude attracts more people, and more people than ever are validating me or giving me attention?

Anyway the reason I bring this up is I’m looking to get my wired brain back, but still keep the calmness. Emotionally I guess I feel Burned out, and my anxious brain doesn’t care what comes out. It’s like I can give other people a good time, use as little words as necessary, but I’m emotionally wiped, and I can’t actually enjoy myself.

Is this a bad time to take mushrooms? Every time I trip it’s amazing but I haven’t had a lasting impact from them in a while.

I work on CNC machines and large industrial manufacturing equipment. Essentially we have a 50’ long machine. There’s a new girl who’s from France who is cute, but doesn’t speak English. She’s using the machine, and I guess a piece toward the end came off. There were a few other coworkers there who told me the issue and the rough area, and I begin to walk down the machine but this French girl operating starts walking in front of me headed toward the issue, walks somewhat slow, points with her arm the area of the issue, does a dramatic turn around while pointing, looks me dead in the eyes. In my head I was like that’s a bit dramatic so instead of just saying “thanks” and dropping to my knees and going to work I hold eye contact for a few seconds, say “thank you” very slowly, nod and smile (almost making it obvious it was for her display, not about the machine) and she lets out like a nervous laugh or chuckle? I think she was trying to catch me staring and wanted me to be nervous. This is the second time a girl has made this noise around me without us doing anything physical?

This girl used to blatantly cut me off a few times just in the walkway to be in front of me a couple weeks ago when she first started so idk if she’s interested but I guess this is her go to move.

I’m out of a situationship recently, and essentially there’s a girl at my company that I find attractive. I had a crush on her, kinda moved on then re established it. We don’t work in the same department but she’s called me over for help with something and she just followed me over to where I needed to address an issue and just stood there while I was working. I was not feeling great that day and I had my earbud in because I didnt feel like talking to people but after a minute I was just like youre _____ right? She said yeah she made a joke I forget about what exactly etc. I just thought in my head it was weird she followed me over to watch me do something very mundane and regular, but a couple days later I was walking I guess past her talking to my coworker and I guess she cut me off or something. My coworker kinda mocked her by acting like she was introducing herself to me I was just like “what” to him and brushed it off. (I figured he thinks or knows she might like me and I don’t need people knowing or thinking that). I guess at one point she came back from break and I was basically on my knees doing something on a rack and I turn around to get something and she’s looking in my direction or at me and fixing her hair. A couple hours later I walk by her station again and I notice she kinda rushed near me smiling and I was in the way of other people so I just moved out of the way and she cut me off again. Also she called me over to help her with something the week before last, I couldn’t figure it out and when I told her I didn’t know she just clicked something on her pc and it worked again, and she said it happens all the time. Again in my head I’m like weird but ok. Not much has happened since then besides this- Then I think the last thing that happened was last Monday I was at one corner of the building, she was with three other women, I walk near her and she’s on her phone, but as soon as I get close she puts her phone away, walks to her area, abruptly stops with her back turned to me as I walk past. (She timed it perfectly to walk right in front of me, again)

03 KTM exc. my battery died, got an expensive ish ($80) Amazon battery, dropped the bike and it wouldn’t charge after. Got another battery under warranty, worked great for quite a few rides. Now, a month after getting this battery, I’m having issues again. I ride trails stalled a few times and started right up, then yesterday I stalled and it wouldn’t start. Got it home, battery shows 12.6v resting, roughly 14 while running, and the bike starts with a jump, so stator and starter are good. This is the battery, right?

Hi everyone, we have a pair of red eared sliders that we’ve had for about a decade. We got them when I was young, and they have lived at my parents house their whole life. I have since moved out, and unfortunately my parents would (understandably) like me to find a new home for them. They are in love with each other, so they absolutely CANNOT be separated. Does anybody know of any place that will take them, and keep them together? I’m willing to drive wherever to drop them off, I just care about them going to a good home, and staying together of course. Any help would be greatly appreciated. One is approx. 6” long, the other 4.5” (roughly) Though I’d love to give them to anybody that would want them, I specifically want someone that has experience with turtles/this species. I know too many people that get them without doing research and they end up in a bad spot.

Hi, I’m about 50 minutes from Boston, I am 23, and have lived near Bellingham MA for three years. For those three years, I’ve put my focus on my career and really haven’t made any effort to make friends outside of work.

I am looking to find out where people in my age group actually socialize, or even better, if there’s someone in here that’s in the area that would like to hang out.

I have friends back home in NH, so I’ll usually go see them on a weekend, but I really need to get out of my comfort zone and make friends here in Ma.

Feel free to comment or message me; I’d love to hear any suggestions. I wish I lived closer to Boston to go to the events I see posted here!

Hi, last year I somehow crashed my exc, ended up breaking my wrist and getting major road rash. (I wore proper gear, otherwise I may be missing limbs. Wiped out at 35 mph on a dirt road.) I used to be able to warm up in an hour or so and be ready to accomplish anything, now it’s like I’m way overthinking everything. One of the first things I did was go on a very technical trail that I struggled with last year, told myself get through it and I’ll be good, but I don’t feel any more confident. I did the same trail a few more times, I’ve been riding dirt roads, practicing my maneuvers, but I feel scared to the point where my decision making is significantly delayed. It’s like I’m having issues locking on to one specific area of a difficult trail, I slow down, and by the time I slow down I’ve lost all of my momentum. Is there any way to beat the mental side of this? I know what I’m capable of, but in practice I lose it.

Went to a different country. Went to a bar to meet someone (platonically) I couldn’t find them. Spoke to the bartender for a few hours, and there was an attractive woman working the register. I asked about her, and I was starstruck by presence. After talking with the bartender, he told me she spoke Spanish, so I started talking to her in Spanish. I had a few more drinks than I’m used to, so at the end of the night I gave her my number. My Spanish sucks, but I said I like you, and I’d love to talk to you again. She texted, we met a day after planned since we couldn’t work something out. She was absolutely gorgeous, like drop dead. Had food, she held my hands and at one point was staring into my eyes for consecutive minutes, even after I kept breaking eye contact. My stomach was messed up, so I couldn’t kiss her. I was extremely hungover, and sunburned. I am also on a new painkiller med, so I’m not myself. We had a lot in common. She asked my age and we had a three year difference. I told her I thought she was older, she assured me it wasn’t a big deal (she was just really mature for her age) Texted her id like to come back and see her again, she said she’d love to, too. She said she’d be waiting for me. She said I could text her anytime. Since then, my text hasn’t been able to deliver, on WhatsApp. I’ve been thinking about her for the past week, last text sent a few days ago.
