Hi there! So I'm 36 years old from Pennsylvania. I have always had a thing for much older men and don't even really know why exactly. Part of it might be that I've always been very mature for my age and tend to get along much better with people who are older than me. The idea of being in a committed long-term relationship with someone older just feels right and natural to me. I am somewhat of a traditional person and do want to be properly married at some point.
Like the title says, I am willing to relocate if I find a genuine connection with the right person, but I would strongly prefer to remain on this continent, so that means please only message me if you're in the United States or Canada.
I also don't want you to message me if you're into the whole dom/sub dynamic or daddy/daughter dynamic; I'm not interested in those dynamics at all. I'm just a traditional woman. I'm a very loving and affectionate person by nature and a strong believer in romantic love, and I just want to find my one-and-only who I can fall deeply in love with and devote myself to forever. I'm the type who sees human sexuality as a very deep and meaningful act of affection between two people who are in love, and I would rather make love than just have sex for the sake of sex. Looks aren't really important to me; I'm the type of person who bases romantic attraction on personality and chemistry more than anything else.
In the spring and summer, I regularly attend an all-ages family nudist camp that is near me. My mother raised me to be a social nudist, so I have been going there all my life. I'm not one of those nudists who is nude at home all the time; for me it's more of a social thing that I do at a family-oriented camp environment. I find the social cohesion in an environment like that creates friendships and bonds that are unlike any social dynamic that you would ever find in any other regular social situation. My own theory regarding this is that it triggers a dormant social-cohesion mechanism in the human psyche that we had way back in our early history when we were living in small communal tribes. Back then, it was probably more normal for people to be casually nude if they wanted to be during the warmer months because everybody knew everybody and nobody was a stranger, and I think that kind of thing would kind of solidify your bond with the tribe. That's just my theory anyways, but it makes a lot of sense because I'm friends with families at that camp and am much closer to them than I am with anybody outside of the camp.
But if you think that your lifestyle values align with mine, free to message me in chat, and we'll see what kind of chemistry we have! 😊

The world is not a safe place for believers. Yes, God will protect us as long as we remain in Christ, but your local church is probably a greater source of corruption than the outside world itself.
The first century apostles had pure doctrine. Their understanding was not complete at that time, but what they understood was unadulterated, and the early Church was instructed to be diligent in defending it from corruption.
We cannot say the same is presently true. No two denominations agree on how to understand the basic doctrines listed in Hebrews 6. Most churches uphold false gospels that either say you have to participate in works of liturgy as part of your salvation; or, to the other extreme, many churches will teach you that once you're saved, there is nothing you can do to forfeit your salvation.
In between these two extremes are errors and assumptions of every kind that yield all sorts of rotten fruit.
The Church that preceded the Protestant reformation systematically taught heresies and, in the process, made themselves a contagious plague; also withholding the scriptures from the masses. The Protestant reformers failed to leave the cursed relics of Babylon behind them, and instead built their empires on new interpretations of old lies.
Ask God if he really wants you involved with your church; and if so, hear what your teachers and leaders have to say, but believe only what the Holy Spirit tells you to believe. Yes: This will require a leap of faith on your part. There will be times that you will have to separate yourselves from the group, and they will try to discourage you for doing so.

[Mat 23:8-9 NASB95] 8 "But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 "Do not call [anyone] on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.
[Jhn 4:24 NASB95] 24 "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
[Jhn 16:13 NASB95] 13 "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
[1Jo 2:27 NASB95] 27 As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.

Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing. Some of them are sitting next to you in church, some of them are the so-called shepherds of the flocks.
They tell you not to "forsake the gathering" (Hebrews 10:25): Indeed, do not be led astray by their errors so that you gradually forsake the gathering together on the day of the Lord's return, as you see the day approaching. Don't let them twist the word of God to justify their dominion.
Ask yourself the following:
Who laid hands on your pastor to ordain him as a minister? Were they an apostle?
Or did the trail of ordination lead all the way back to an apostle?
Can it be proven?
If teaching sound doctrine is a requirement for ministry, then the trail of ordination (holy orders) has been broken over a thousand years ago, and why then do our present "ministers" teach a denominationally prescribed conjecture?

So I found out today why so many veterans just give up on the VA! I separated from the navy and took the severance pay and finally finished paying it back (gotta love the government). According to my claim letter my compensation should be starting today (June 1, 2023), but nothing got deposited. I called the VA and was told that they work a month behind and that I don't start getting my money until July! They said that, how it's stated in black and white on the letter is "unfortunately" how they break it down! Like WTH! Now I'm here trying to figure out how I'm going to pay rent this month! Why send a letter with false information and then just tell you "oh well"?! And they wonder why veteran suicide rates are so high!! We depend on this money and they just don't give a damn! Sorry for the long rant...

Trying not to be too specific because my ex is a Redditor. I met a wonderful girl last year. Our meeting coincided with me starting a brand new job that is pretty much always demanding the first year or so. I went in there understanding it’d be a lot to juggle with a relationship but I’ve always been an overachieving, high-performing guy. My ex and I have one hobby in common that’s a physical activity. We would regularly do that and grab dinner afterwards and usually head to the other person’s place for more quality time. Early on, our dates had more variety but I got to the point where I could only see her twice a week, maybe 2.5 hours at a time max. And so hobby + dinner became the only routine, unless we planned the rare dinner out.
My work had been piling up for a few months. It got to the point I was regularly working late nights plus weekends. I was starting to find myself wanting to continue our physical activity longer than she did to try to get some energy back but I didn’t know how to break the pattern after nearly six months of this. I was overworked, tired and this physical activity was my only salvation. As much as I cared about my ex, she was still another person to pour energy into. After a particularly bad string of weeks at work, I broke up with her with the reasoning that our lifestyles are too different for us to make it long term. It was handled poorly. I completely blindsided her and she didn’t understand why I was projecting so far into the future over slightly different approaches to a hobby. She asked if it was just my work schedule right now and I told her no, it was incompatibility.
As we approach the summer, my schedule is becoming more manageable and I feel like the biggest idiot. I remember the home cooked meals, the surprise dates, all from her and just generally how much I deeply cared about her. She never gave me a hard time about my schedule and genuinely supported me. I’ve been missing her for over two months but I spent the first month burying myself into work and not dealing with the breakup. My friend was shocked I still had never apologized for such an abrupt breakup. I would like her back but don’t know where to begin. She seemed very sad but also was very kind to me during the breakup. She also asked questions to make sure she had been meeting my needs otherwise (I said she did) and genuinely seemed to care and listen to my experience. I haven’t seen or heard from her since.
TL;DR: Broke up with ex over work schedule and realize I really screwed up

Looking for my 18-20something that wants to experience and explore with an older man. Something fun and ongoing.
Tell me something that’s been on your mind for far too long?
Be within 2 hours from Portland.

Was told 5 year wait for a blue overseas today from AD. Brutal!
How long have y’all waited and what did you acquire, if any, to help get there?

Long story short first bat sighting in 2021 parents refused to have it professionally checked out in their home. They heard scratching in their ceiling and decided to call someone yesterday who found large amounts of bat guano in the gutters concluded they likely have a lot of bats. Father's bright idea is to fumigate the attic with vikane and mothballs despite human exposure risks. Doesn't seem to listen or consider any scientific literature or advice out there about human risk and overall ineffectiveness of these measures deterring/killing bats. Only law regarding specific violations I could find seem to pertain to, commercial for profit violations. Is there any laws about disrupting their habitats? Here is the violation for commercial enterprise and other laws I've been able to find thanks in advance. (520 ILCS 5/2.36a) (from Ch. 61, par. 2.36a) Sec. 2.36a. Value of protected species; violations. (a) A person commits a Class 3 felony if the person, for profit or commercial purposes, knowingly captures or kills, possesses, offers for sale, sells, offers to barter, barters, offers to purchase, purchases, delivers for shipment, ships, exports, imports, causes to be shipped, exported, or imported, delivers for transportation, transports or causes to be transported, carries or causes to be carried, or receives for shipment, transportation, carriage, or export any animal or part of animal of the species protected by this Act, contrary to the provisions of this Act, and such animals, in whole or in part, are (1) valued at or in excess of a total of $500, as per specie value specified in paragraph (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), or (8) of subsection (c) of this Section, or (2) valued at or in excess of a total of $3,000 as per specie value specified in paragraph (1), (2), or (9) of subsection (c) or subsection (d).

In the depths of the battle, where shadows persist, A soul entangled, in addiction's relentless twist. Stimulants, the chains that bind so tight, A journey that takes its toll, both day and night.
Family and friends, witness the toll it takes, Their hearts ache, as the bond slowly breaks. Torn between love and despair's dark shroud, They stand as warriors, strong and proud.
Through tears and anguish, they hold on tight, Supporting their loved one, with all their might. For in their eyes, they see the flicker of hope, A belief in recovery, a chance to cope.
With every step forward, battles are fought, In the depths of despair, lessons are taught. Through treatment and therapy, the path unfolds, A victory in recovery, where blessings enfold.
Slowly but surely, the spirit renews, As addiction's grip weakens, the heart accrues. The journey to sobriety, a beacon of light, With newfound strength, the future shines bright.
Life's blessings emerge, like a sunrise's glow, Serenity and peace, like rivers that flow. Rebuilding relationships, mending what's torn, The healing power of love, forever reborn.
In recovery's embrace, the soul finds its way, Embracing the present, savoring each day. Family and friends, a support system strong, Together they triumph, over addiction's long song.
For in the victories of recovery, a tale is told, Of resilience and courage, stories yet unfold. The toll it takes on loved ones, now overcome, Rebuilding bonds, a harmonious hum.
So let us celebrate the victories won, The blessings in life, as bright as the sun. In the fight against addiction, hope's flame burns strong, With love and support, we shall always belong.

I can't find anything good but one website that only goes for 59 eps and in webtoon takes to long for just the daily read

How long did it take for shipping after the estimated build date? Did the bike arrive with any issues? Did you have to pay duties or customs fees in addition to the shipping cost? Thanks!
