im really worried about ticks but i want to bring my dog out into the nature scene.

how worried and how precautious should i be? i usually always stay on the path and try to keep my dog away from tall grass already as it is because i really hate ticks and i get upset when i find them on my dog. ive never been to maine, im from jersey. ticks are prevalent here but it also depends how maintained the spot is.

any advice is appreciated, thank you

also if you have any other recs as to where to go please lmk! i like to take photos so anything picturesque is ideal. i also want to get some night time photos too :3

Let me try again. Take this question at face value and respond like it’s reality.

I am in New Jersey

Say my family and past “friends” had worked together to bully, emotionally/mentally abuse, harass, and slander me.

This has happened over the course of 10 years. I didn’t document anything but I can remember everything. I do also have whatever digital communications I had with these people, which is mostly useless because they knew better.

They’ve involved plenty of other people. People involved have threatened me and my life. My privacy has been taken away. My repuatation and public image has been ruined but no one will actually say anything to my face. They all just act fake nice. Their perceptions of me has been seeming like a roller coaster ride through out the years. Some straight up just ignore me even when I clearly and loudly say hello. I’ve been purposefully given an std and fungal infection. Bullied beyond comprehension.

How would this situation be approached?

My family is trying to discredit what I’m saying by way of insanity.

I am in New Jersey.

Things in my life have been really weird for the past decade. My family and friends from highschool have been sabotaging my life and mental health. I know how this sounds, there’s just no other way to put it.

They are using prior drug use (lsd) from my past to tell me I’m crazy and everything is in my head and I’m overthinking.

This is actually fucking crazy because if you’ve ever truly sat down with me you’d know I’m very reasonable and sharp in my perception of my environment and people.

They’ve always denied me having mental health problems but ever since I’ve been assertively speaking up about what’s been happening they’ve been telling me I need help and I need my meds everytime something like this comes up. I avoid trying to talk to them about it now because I know all I’ll get is just crazy accusations.

Just to add I’ve also been threatened mob style recently. Lowkey, but only I would uniquely see the meaning in it and trying to explain it to someone just makes me sound crazy

What would you guys do/reccomend?

Guy at the camera shop upsold me on this because my other sx-70 model I posted the other day was unfixable. I bought this and his other sx-70 model lmao (I’m super impulsive). Honestly I only really got this one because he said it was new and unused, in the box(not sealed) and that it had flash. Did me 80 but told me they go for 150 and did 40 for the sx70 model.

I come home and I find some for like 45 bucks but some are like 150. Why are the price ranges so different? Some of the 150 ones said sealed, is that why? Also there’s no flash! I have to buy disposable flash bulbs. I feel like should’ve looked it up before buying. I’m kinda mad because it has no flash and I really did not need to spend the extra 80 bucks rn.

What are you guys thoughts? Would you have bought this for 80 bucks? He wanted to do me 90 for it alone. Would you return it if you felt like you could put the money to something else better?
