This past spring I sold my decked out 2014 Mathews ChillR with case and all accessories for $600 on FB marketplace. Think everything was about $1400 when I bought it all new.
Consider West Virginia done.
I don't know if it's the best rifle, but i bought my 8 yr old a ruger american .243 this year and it's worked out well for him so far.

Moved up to WV 2 years ago. Nailed this one this afternoon 75 yards behind the house, my biggest with a bow.

Hey Guys - need help finding a video that i think was posted here at some point. It was of opening day of duck season on public land and there were about 100 boats on the water at night and it was mass chaos when everyone was leaving the starting docks. Anyone know the one i'm talking about?
I tend to get kidney stones. Sometimes when they pass the ureter they’ll sit right on a nerve that connects directly with your nut. Feels like someone has your ball in a vice and it comes in waves. But smaller stones will feel more like a dull pain, like you got thumped

This is not true for lithium or cobalt to the extent that they can be reused but they don't maintain their efficiency
quote:

Where is lithium available from?


Cobalt is one of the most imporant elements for batteries. It provides energy density and performance and is important for stability and safety. Without cobalt, there are no electric cars.

And cobalt is what is mined in the Congo by kids

Pulsar XM38 or XG50 is exactly what you’re looking for in that range. Those models are 2 years old now so they might have something newer on the market but those are both great scopes

Maybe this is me being a p***y, but I've always thought marriage counseling is for those who can't just talk it out on their own and/or for marriages that are already toast.


I used to think that as well but we ended up going to A few sessions. Think of it as having a referee. And with a referee, they’ll point out stuff not only that you need to work on but stuff your wife should work on as well - same things that you may have mentioned to your wife but she wasn’t as willing to listen bc it was coming from you, but coming from a therapist she may hear it differently.

I'm in better physical shape than I was when we got married. I probably don't try to her romance her like I used to. One consistent quarrel we have is that I am just about always the one to initiate the sex we have and that aggravates me as I feel like if she really wanted to have sex she would try to initiate it sometimes as well.


My man, men have to initiate 90% of the time. And if someone tells you otherwise they found a woman in that 10% or they’re lying. At least that’s my perspective as a 38 year old whose been married 9 years and has two kids under five.
If you were to ask her, what reasons would she give for why y’all are having trouble? Is there something should be looking within yourself for?
quote:

We do try to make "us time", but the conversation just doesn't flow as well as our younger years when we were still in the "lovey dovey" phase. I think she was a much more easy going person before kids and the social isolation from the lockdowns, but now that's changed and I'm not sure if it can get back to the way it was.


I think every single marriage has been in that same exact boat. Can’t give up now. It’ll never be the same as when you were in the lovey dovey phase, that doesn’t last forever. For better or for worse are part of the vows for a reason. You have to go back to the root of why you fell in love in the first place. This too shall pass, but you can give up.
Divorce? shite that’s normal for someone married ten years with three young kids. Y’all gotta work through it, work on communicating more effectively and taking time for yourselves - without distractions, such as your phone, when you finally get time alone. Find those common interests again that don’t only involve the kids
