Fall plants seem to be able to start quite soon! What are you guys hoping to grow?

Hii! I want some leather toe guards for my riedell 111s. My crochet works okay indoors - but outdoors/park skating destroyed them (LMFAO). Riedell has toe guards and toe caps, and i see the bont caps. Which ones would fit? I *think* the riedell toecaps are for derby? Not sure.

I dont want to spend more than like... 30$? Cheap as i can while still being useful type.

Thanks!

(Ps I think this can be a main post as its not about the buying skates themselves. If not, my fault!)

First: let me say im not new. I swam from infancy to 17, lifeguarded until 18, then got top surgery, took two years off, lifeguarded last summer and am now working as a swim instructor.

​

I know about swimming.

​

Now that thats out of the way - HELP my legs are sinking now. I think theres less bouyancy in my chest, making me struggle? I know to keep my hips up, stomach up, head relaxed, etc. I can still do my strokes just fine.

​

But... my legs sink? 😭 Could it be my pool? I havent had a chance to see if I still have this issue in other pools, its only been in my gyms pool (the chems are weird but I dont think that should effect it?).

​

Anyone whose has this sort of issue... PLEEEEASE help lmfao. This developed between last summer and now

Hii I figured I'd shoot my shot, does anyone happen to have a longboard they're looking to get rid of?

To preface, I've just finished Genki 2 so I've got a little while, but my program will finish next spring and complete Tobira Advanced Grammar. I know its still far off, but thinking about my studies post grad is a little stressful so I figured I'd get some insight now!

So, as the title says, what would you guys do after finishing TAG?

My niece (12yo) really wants to learn Japanese. I learn it at the college level, and have used JF0 before so I can def help her, but I'm not sure if the self study nature might be a little much for a middleschooler?

She'll also be taking it at HS but she seems to want to start now. Do you think a middle schooler could manage these books? How much support do you think they might need?
