Period 6 days late then period

So I'm an out gay guy from a Rural and Religious area in the US. Due to this my family is not exactly stoked on me and always encouraged me to hide myself in public because of how people would react to me. For context, I was living with my Granny and Grandaddy at the time to help take care of them as they were having a harder time doing things around the house. My Grandfather was able to drive and such, I couldn't but was learning, and he would help me get to work and back. I would spend a lot of time doing things for them, fixing the house up where I could, and also just kept them company. It was honestly a good time aside from my Aunt and Uncle holding over that I couldn't be myself while I lived there. I had to pretend to be straight so I didn't embarrass the family.
During this period I was on a dating website, this was before the apps really got a start. I had just gotten over a period where I was recovering from a bad bad break up that ended in violence. I wanted to get out there again so I thought I'd give it a try, I wanted to find some happiness. Sure enough, I began talking to someone, we'll call him Lion. Lion was very sweet, very understanding about the situation I was in, so we kept talking for quite a while. Lion lived a few hours away so we weren't able to just drop things and go meet whenever, plus we didn't want to rush things. I also knew my family wouldn't have been too keen on me meeting someone. The rule was I couldn't be seen in public with a person, and honestly I wasn't keen on inviting someone over to my grandparent's house, not just for the embarrassment of not being in my own place, but I didn't want to risk them if things didn't end up well after meeting someone for the first time. Strangers be strangerin.
A good deal of time had gone by and I was really falling for Lion. We talked every day. We got along well. Any disagreements were squashed fairly easily. I thought, I really need to start thinking about myself here, so I thought I'd say let's meet. We made plans and I became so excited. This was the time when Facebook was pretty new and I was in my 20s and still pretty naive to the consequences of posting all good news you have on social media. I posted about him coming to visit on the day he was coming. All hell broke loose.
My aunt, who was not on my friends list, had someone report to her about things I posted. Next thing I know I'm getting phone calls by all sorts of family members calling to cuss me out for daring to invite someone over. No, I wasn't having him come to my grandparent's house, I was walking to a gas station and was going to meet him there. They demanded that I tell him not to come to town as if they owned the whole place. I got pissed off and told them I'm taking care of my grandparents when they don't want to have anything to do with them and I deserve a little bit of happiness, so I told them all to fuck off.
On my way to the gas station I saw my cousin driving up and down the road, a school road, above the speed limit. He would swerve as if he were threatening to hit me. I flipped him off. I got to the gas station in one piece and waited for about 2 hours for him to show up, I couldn't reach Lion because he had no signal heading up the mountain to get to me. He finally gets there, we embrace. I tell him about what was going on and that we should probably go someplace else since my cousin followed me. He was so understanding. It was a great day, my phone was off, and we just had a lot of fun. He drove me back and I made it home and went to bed after I got the call he made it back home.
The next day I go to work and my family started calling my work place. I obviously wasn't allowed to take the phone off the hook because customers may call and need help. It was absolute torture. I was given an ultimatum, I refuse to see Lion again and maybe they'll let me continue living with my grandparents. I flipped and told my Aunt to go fuck herself and hung up. At the end of the work day my dad shows up and tells me I'm not allowed over at my grandparent's tonight. I couldn't go home and even get my toothbrush. So I said fine, I give in and go to my dad's. My dad is a pastor who has put me through conversion therapy. He lectures me the whole way, said I had this coming. Blah blah blah. I called Lion and told him everything. He said fuck them and told me if I needed to I can move in with him. I was VERY hesitant about that. We had one date, a great date, but still. I had to think about it.
The torture with my family continued and I finally gave in and said ok, I'm coming to stay with you. Lion and I made plans, I put in a two week notice, I did NOT post about it online, and on my last day I told a few people I'll be leaving and would like to see them one more time before I leave home. I didn't even tell my dad I was leaving, I just packed my shit and left. I said my goodbyes and we left. Since then, my family said I abandoned my grandparents. Honestly I love my grandparents very much and always will, and I always think back on things because I wished I could have been there during some harder times like when my Grandaddy fell and hit his head, he died a week later. My Granny is now in a nursing home because she can't care for herself. I hate so much that this is how things ended up and I still find myself crying over it.
Was I an asshole for leaving?
Note, I am still with Lion. It'll be 12 years this July. He has a daughter who accepts me as her step-dad. She has two kids of her own who I love very much. I don't regret being here, I just hold guilt that my grandparents have ended up the way they have.

My crawlspace dehumidifier is registering around 70 percent, and has been for a few days. It normally is around 50. I changed the filter in case it was clogged.
Is this normal during periods of rain or is it possible the dehumidifier has gone bad? I live in SC and recently had some rain.
Never had one before so am not sure how to proceed.

Background info: 25f :I was on birth control since I was 16 got off of it 2 years ago because I wanted to start preparing for TTC. 4 weeks ago I got off of spironolactone as the final step for TTC. Now my cycles were reallyyyy irregular (went 6 months without a period then had 2 periods per month) the first year of of BC but then they smoothed out kinda Sept 2023. Now March 2024 I started lowering my dose of spironolactone to wean myself off of it slowly and have been without it for a month. I have not had a period since March 29th all my pregnancy tests are negative and according to my fertility tracker I've been in my ovulatory phase for 3 weeks. I'm on CD 52. My family does not have a history of PCOS and the only sign I would have for PCOS is the irregular cycle. So I'm wondering am I just hella stressed or is it PCOS potentially? We are currently TTC so I'm really worried about the struggle ahead of us if it is PCOS

Hello, I'm in Rome for a study abroad for 6 weeks. I switched to Verizon's international plan (Unlimited Ultimate) while I'm here. The first couple of days, I had great service. Then, it started taking everything forever to load even if I was in 4G or 5G areas with 4 or 5 bars. I called Verizon and they told me even if I used up all of my high speed data for the day, it should reset each night, but it's been slow the last 4 days. I've tried all of the recommended troubleshooting and no luck (phone restart, roaming access, select network operators automatically, etc). For reference, I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm heavily relying on Google maps while walking around, I've gotten lost a few times because I had no service.

Oright first of all this is not a justification of my relapse or pmo, rather its trying to understand whats happening.
I have been trying SR for like 6 years or something. I have only felt benefits fully on my first ever streak which was like 6 years ago and i relapsed at day 56. Since that relapse I didnt have the benefits fully even though i had so many streaks ranging between 0-9 months. I dont know what happening but after like 30-40 days, my body gets so heavy. I feel so tired like normal things become exhausting. I get insane anxiety to a point which makes me frighten to even go outside. But after relapse i feel that heaviness vanish and my anxiety calms down.
So i assume most of you will say that i should transmute but you should see how tired i feel after some point. Also i do things which you would consider transmuting. I have a mountain bike and i often ride it. I dont know i dont think its about transmuting.
Sometimes i think if i should do things alongside SR to feel better then why am i doing SR in the first place? Like i can eat super healthy, sleep very well, exercise, get sunlight, study, work whatever but does that mean doing all of these stuff doesnt make me feel happy if i dont retain my semen? You might say SR will give me energy to do these things easier but thats not the case because as i said i get tired after some time.
Another thing you might suggest is finding a passion. Oright so i gratuated recently and due to economic states the jobs are insanely low waged. Its not like i go to work with a passion and become a Nikola Tesla. Its required to work my whole life to buy a house for myself while governments print money to fill their pockets. I dont know guys.
Any insights would be nice to hear

This happened a week ago? I think. This is about my online friend (M) We are friends. Platonic friends. We have VC too.
So We texted the other day, and he told me, his friend (F), who he has known for a while, stopped talking to him and unfollowed him because she got mad at him for something stupid (his words). I don't know what he did or said. He then said he doesn't really care cuz she was being annoying. I kind of comforted him and said it's okay you can find new people, to which he said "i have you still" after that he also said "you're not allowed to leave". I said I won't. I then replied to his other message and sent him some reels. He didn't reply to me at all. Like no response, even though he was online on IG..
I was kind of hurt, I don't mind being left on read but not opening my messages while being online Is just 💔. He then didn't texted me the whole day and the next day too. I thought maybe he ghosted me or something. Later at night, he sent me a sn*p and some reels but me being petty didn't open it(I saw them after a day or two tho).
I didn't text him that day.as I noticed I was the one mostly initiating the convo. So I just texted my other friends and studied for my exams. I was online on disc*rd mostly as all my friends are there, And he messaged me. First he said my name....then when I replied he asked how I am and all that. Then he said "who's got you on here" so I was like some people and why would I tell you. I was not being rude or anything yk just playing.... He said "I thought I was your fav" I asked him, so I can't talk to other ppl? And he said "ofc you can, silly" I told him he was being weird. And he said that's the whole point...
And now lately he's been replying to my messages very quickly. Before he would take at least 2 hrs or so. Now he'll just reply in 1 min or 10 mins. Just today I sent a sn*p of my hair with my face blurred and he complimented my hair and asked why my hair is blurred. I was like, do you wanna see my face or something he said yes and when I asked why he said "because i just do" Also we made plans that when I get free from my finals, we'll watch something together and game. And lately whenever we talk, he reminds me about our this plan.
He does talk to other girls I think so. But the problem is..... Does he like me or something? I'm confused cuz like what he if says all this to his other friends too...

TL;DR: My partner thinks I’m always entirely wrong in the functionings of our relationship. I believe one of us lacks ownership. I’m not sure who’s right.
I (f25) have been with my boyfriend (m25) for about a year and a half. Off late, say 6-7 months, we’ve been having extreme fights and arguments. I’ve been diagnosed with cptsd and he knows all about it. Although our arguments are huge, at the crux of it, the reason is always minor. However, most of the fights are started by him. The reason given is mostly my behaviour. How I was rude in saying “ok” or being blunt. We’ve had multiple discussions around how we both feel but it mostly always ends with a list of things I’m supposed to change or improve on while he maintains that he’ll “control his reactions”. Owing to my mental health diagnosis, I’ve pleaded with him to give me sometime (5 mins) to come back with a helpful and productive response to any issue he might raise but I don’t feel that that ask is respected.
Additionally, his anger has always been bad and off late, it keeps manifesting more and more violently. Anytime I try to express how I’m feeling or recount certain incidents, he says I’m gaslighting him or being manipulative when I know from my heart that the intention is never that and that I’m only telling my side of the story.
There’s also a huge list of things that he claims he cannot provide for me (basic things for most in a relationship like meeting each other’s friends, families, etc.) owing to his circumstances but when I ask for understanding that I reckon is basic (like giving me sometime to process things he’s saying and then come back with a response, show some level of appreciation, etc.), he makes it seem like I’m asking for too much from him.
I have to think and practice a 100 times before bringing up an issue with him and also wait for the right time. All of this is taking an even worse toll on my mental health because so far I’ve believed him to be a good, honest guy. I’ve been with some horrible men but he’s nothing like them. It’s just these issues plus a few more which when I speak with him about, he makes me believe all stem from how my behaviour impacted him and all the wrongs he does are a response of my behaviours.
I’m just extremely confused about how to navigate through all of this. I love him deeply and want this to work. But I’m at a loss and I feel very confused about whether - if at all - my feelings are even valid. Any insight/input would be much appreciated.

Just finishing up 4th week on 2.5. All is well... except...
My stomach seems to be increasingly irritated. On the inside, not the outside. Prior to Zep, I was eating 6-9 cups of fruits and veggies a day in a modified paleo eating plan. And I loved that and felt really nourished. Now, just the thought of veggies makes me green in a not good way. The only thing that really seems to be unchallenging for my stomach is gin gin chews and peppermint lifesavers. That equals basically simple sugars which is not how I was eating previously. I am wondering if the slow emptying is letting food sit in there and that is causing some irritation. I want to understand why this is happening. I could ask my PCP but, frankly, she's pretty checked out and not very involved in the GLP world. I wanted to check here first and then bring her some ideas. She's open to that.
I do have a history of GERD and am prescribed Prilosec which I don't take consistently. I took it this morning, though, when I couldn't even drink my coffee.
I've been searching the various subs and see people craving veggies... hahaha. How does that work? I'm trending in the opposite direction and that's a bummer! Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do? It's temporary, right?

This is kind of a cross between venting and advice. I've been playing 3+0 blitz for quite some time and have gotten as high as 1300. Over the last several days I've lost several games and am now in the mid 1100's. This isn't a "I got tilted during one session and lost 10 games in a row" type thing, it's just been happening over the last couple weeks. It just feels like I miss simple tactics. I literally lost a game after winning my opponent's queen on move 6 or something, then the game after that I thought I had a crushing attack by sacrificing my rook for a pawn promotion only to hang back rank make before that was realized (and to promptly have my opponent call me a loser after that).
I obviously haven't found chess as enjoyable during this period. I go over many (though not all) of my games and see where I messed up. What have you done in the past for these longer slumps?

I’m (22f) 5’6 and have been between 200 and 206 for the last 2, 3 weeks while on a calorie deficit. Before that I lost a steady amount, my initial weight was 220. I have no idea why I’m not losing (and even gaining) since I’m tracking strictly and eating a lot of frozen meals, which aren’t the healthiest I know but I like them because of the easy to log calorie counts. I also do high intensity walk/ run intervals for like half an hour each day too (trying to build up to run a 5k, making great progress!)
I’m going to include an example of my food logs from yesterday, if anyone can tell me where I may be going wrong here I’d appreciate it! I know this isn’t healthy food btw, I’m just trying to get my calories nailed down starting out and then will make healthier food choices going forward (if I do too much at once it’s hard to stick to it). Also I have a food scale I use too so counts should be accurate. Thanks!
Calorie goal: 1380, food: 1289, exercise calories burned: 260.
Breakfast/ lunch: 740. (Cantina chicken bowl from Taco Bell, one Cinnabon delight, naval orange)
Dinner: 430 (red baron single serve mini pizza)
Snacks: 119 (100g blackberries and 1.5 cups of skinny pop popcorn)
(Don’t usually skip breakfast or eat out, but it was a late morning lol)
Also, I forgot to include this but I drink a LOT of coffee with sweet n low or Splenda. Should be zero calorie but maybe this is a contributing factor?

We have a game 6 people! I have enjoyed posting these after every game so far and enjoy the perspectives you are all sharing as well. Thank you.

1. family members are still pessimistic because "it's a 2% chance starting down 0-3". Listen, that's because it's 2% to get through game 4 and 5 because you are probably defeated mentally. It's a 3-2 series this morning. NY was right here two years ago. They were going home game 6 and then came to Carolina game 7. Same exact thing we are going to do.
   
2. Freddy - yes, you all know I would bring him up. A couple good saves. Did he have to be great? no. he faced what 2 shots since the 10 min mark of the 2nd period? A testament to our matchups that NY dictated mind you. And, something we are very familiar with from the regular season. Freddy was decent. He hasn't won a game this series. He has, in my opinion lost 2. That said. No matter how much I offer a limb, Freddy will start game 6 and we will just continue to pray that NY can't shoot the puck. But we can't give the other team goals and expect to win.
   
3. Chatfield - has become the #2 priority to resign after Jake this off season. No longer need to say anything more
   
4. Burns - Lead the team in ice time without being on the #1 PP and besides maybe 1 or 2 plays yesterday, my goodness is he getting his lunch money taken. No way Rod breaks up the defensive pairing, but he is a liability now. When he is on the ice, I am holding my breath. He isn't scoring. So the lack of defensiveness in trade for offensive prowess is a loss transaction for us currently.
   
5. I posted in the GDT yesterday about Staal not scoring. Not being able to score really. And if he going to lose faceoffs then what's the actual point of his presence on the roster. And, I commented this right in between the 2nd and 3rd period, but the energy of the world wanted to prove me wrong and I am more than happy to sit here corrected. That goal - inspired the entire team. You felt the monkey just jump right off their back. Incredible performance yesterday. I just hope that wasn't the last of his energy if that makes sense. Emptied the tank so to speak. We have not seen Jordon Staal go on tears or streaks in a WHILE.
   
6. Power play - not sure why the team thought we should veer away from how we scored in game 4. Turbo trying to sling it across ice, Aho shooting right at Trouba from above the dot. Like, boys, put Brady at the point, move the defense, sling it to Brady, get the rebound or tip it in. 5 games now and we are still trying with the cute shit. That has to stop.
   
7. Cute shit - Turbo. My boy. Defensively? Great. No complaints. Offensively? buddy. what are we doing? I feel as if he hates shooting the puck. Like it hurts his morale. I have never seen a hockey player be so willing to not shoot the puck. Not like Jarvy to Aho that got deflected. That I think was a good idea and play and Jarvy just hit the defenders skate. Turbo will circle the entire rink before shooting.
   
8. Faceoffs - you have all heard me go nuts about faceoffs and how it has impacted our flow and game before. Yesterday was the first game I have seen where we "dominated" a game by losing faceoffs at that wide of margin. However, if you look, we started dominating faceoffs in the 3rd period, and wouldn't you know? We dominated the 3rd period.
   
9. The Rags looked gassed to me. They had a short handed goal and couldn't get momentum in the 2nd period late. That carried into the 3rd. Kinda what I referenced above with Staal. The tank was empty. But, think about it, Game 5, 1 day in between, game 4, 1 day in between. Game 3, 1 day in between. This has played to our advantage (the schedule). Game 6 will have 2 days in-between. Something to watch out for in the 2nd period next game. Who is controlling the game. And that will show me how much the schedule actually impacted this series and it's directly related to the Nicks in the NBA as well.
   
10. I think - I can speak for the entire fan base now, that if we lose in game 6 (doubtful) but also game 7? I think we walk away from this post-season a little bit more relieved than how we were all feeling just 5 days ago. We had 3 series' currently sitting 3-1 until we won yesterday and Vancouver might go 3-1 on Edmonton. And of all 4 series' if anyone is coming back down 3-1? It would have been us. Remember 2014, the last time a team came back down 0-3, LA Kings, won the cup that year. Collision course with Florida to repeat the ECF of last year, we would have home ice. That said - it's just a note. Win. One. More. Game. That's it.
    

TLDR (I never do these but I acknowledge I wrote a lot)

1. Doesn't matter how you get here, it's a 3-2 series.
   
2. Freddy will start game 6. Can't give other team goals in playoffs
   
3. Resign Chatfield
   
4. Burns is a liability
   
5. Staal proving me wrong
   
6. Power play needs to get back to point shots and focus on rebounds
   
7. Turbo - stop with the cute shit
   
8. We win the faceoff %? we win the game
   
9. Rags looked tired.
   
10. 2014 LA Kings
    

Anybody have issues with Goldin auctions site and how they deliver? I won 4 PSA baseball cards, which totaled $115. After fees, shipping, buyers premiums, etc etc, I ended up being on the hook for close to $160. That’s Goldin. I pay, wait patiently for my cards. 2 weeks goes by, and I receive a card from another auction that I won. I reach out to customer support asking where the first 4 cards were. She said that they were unable to be delivered (which I think is BS because I’ve received all my other packages from them). Then I was told my cards were going back to a “vault” and I could request them. Now they are returned, and I go to request my own cards, and I’m being told that there is a $6 fee PER CARD,m to get them since they have not been in the vault for 90 days. I’m new to the hobby, but this seems like a Surefire way to make sure no one returns to your brand @kengoldinreddit12

I’m 37 years old, no family history of early menopause. 3 healthy pregnancies (and kiddos), and my period has been consistent, like clockwork, 28 day cycles since I got it when I was 12 (which I guess is odd because as a child it’s not always that regular). No birth control for the last 5 years, husband has a vasectomy (6 years ago, we check it about once a year now but more regularly that first 2 years).
My question is with my period coming suddenly, 10 days early, with spotting the day before (I’ve never really spotted), should I be immediately calling the doctor?
My husband, who should have no say in this because he doesn’t have female reproductive organs, thinks I should give it a couple days and see if it’s a full period or spotting so that I have more info for a doctor and don’t look overanxious or paranoid. I think he’s got a point but also I’m overanxious and paranoid so I feel like I should be rushing to the ER (which would probably be a ridiculous waste of resources and costly for what is probably no reason).

Hello fellow people.
So I seem to have problems in learning especially complex big subjects like math, coding etc. Being stuck in a room class full of 30+ NT students, loud noises and unseemly boring lectures. I dissociated entire 12 year of school, finished with 8th grade level math and lacked some general knowledge. Luckily my autism lets me learn small facts all the time, but I don't get good chemicals from anything, I think because of my Anhedonia I don't have one deep interest. Just jumping between topics and getting bored quite easily.
Last time I learned something big was at age 10 when I learned English watching After Effects tutorials on YT. I learned video editing too (which is a crucial skill I'm decent at). But I quit doing VFX for two reasons: 1. These unknown learning obstacles got me to a point where I couldn't progress at VFX. 2. I am creative and love art, but I have analytical and critical mind, even doing VFX I changed every attributes like opacity and position in 0.5 increments even in 3D, and wanted my VFX to look in a certain look to be considered passing in my head. More good at copying and following some set of rules rather creating something different or new that was looked in my style and consistent.
I taken 2 private math tutors before and it wasn't ideal because they taught me concepts once or twice in a week and I didn't progressed alone. I feel like If there was something structured that suited autistic people with learning problems like me to just give us lectures and to teach us and push me to progress I could sweat it. But first I have to fix all of my learning problems. That's why I'm asking here, and I hope whoever sees this and been in my place could give me solid piece of advice so hopefully help me get over this :)
I don't want to give in to the idea that I'll never succeed just because I became un oblivious to idea of IQ after being tested slightly below Average. I know I accomplished something that don't reflect this stupid number and that if could solve these learning problems and being able to learn something big like that time at age 10 I could do anything! Just the thought of it makes me happy.
I'll to describe what's happening in my head (this is the part in my awareness) Now days when I'm sitting to learn something:

1. I become curious or interested about it.
2. I invest my entire time because I want to learn more about it.
3. Not knowing where to start and what to learn in order to progress in an organized and consistent manner.
4. I get stuck but not knowing why I'll start jumping for one subject to the other.
5. Between step 3 and 4 I'll lose motivation, focus and interest, I multi task, till I leave to entertainment or something else completely.
6. It's the fountain of excessive information and lack of guidance. Because I can't get myself unstuck or progress, the combination of low drive/dopamine, everything starts feeling more like a chore rather than I picked it

from free will, then I quit or move to something else never achieving it.
Thanks for reading.

I’m a cis-woman, 27, 275lbs and I recently had a sleep study done as a requirement for weight loss surgery and also for my own sleep apnea suspicions about two weeks ago and apparently I’m going to have to wait 6-8 weeks for the results (does it usually take that long?) but until then, I just have a few questions. For the past few months, I’ve been waking up with a dry throat, a mild headache and a slight feeling of pressure on the left side of the back of my head. I had been diagnosed with TMJ a few years ago and it hasn’t gotten any better. The back of my head doesn’t hurt. It just feels tingly and heavy. I’ve been feeling disoriented, immense amounts of brain fog. I’ve been struggling to find the words to express things. There are days when it just feels like my head is weighed down and I feel like I’m in a trance. When I lie on my back, even before falling asleep, my throat starts to tickle and I can’t stop clearing it. My anxiety has been through the roof. There is never not a day where I’m calm and not anxious. My sex drive has plummeted and I am very rarely in the mood to have sex or even be kissed or touched. Does this sound like sleep apnea? I’m kind of in limbo until my results come back but I just want to hear about your experiences.

Please only send chat requests. I will not reply to comments or direct messages.
What I want to find is someone that I can talk to on a regular basis. I enjoy talking to people throughout the day and consistently. Not just when the person is "bored." I know that we both have other things to take care of in our lives, so our schedules wouldn't be open to be able to talk all day, but just being there for each other would be nice. Eventually, after some time of talking, we could meet and hang out.
Also, let's talk on DISC to stay in touch better. If you don't have it or are opposed to it, then pass. Don't be upset.
This is my preference so respect it. I also want to do voice calls and video calls. If you can't, then again, pass on me.
All of these things are MY preferences. If you are reading this and don't like it then okay. That's your opinion. You are not being forced to talk to me. There is a friend out there for you.
My stats: I'm 27, female, Hispanic, 5'6, slender, brown eyes, and brown hair.
Please be in shape, don't bring drama, and be in the United States. I don't want to deal with huge time differences. Also, don't tell me you can't call until like a month or day.
If this all sounds good to you, then send me a message.
And provide your stats and your disc.
Please be patient with my reply, as I'll be filtering out the spam. Thanks.

I have not had a period since March 29th all my pregnancy tests are negative and according to my fertility tracker I've been in my ovulatory phase for 3 weeks. I'm on CD 52. My family does not have a history of PCOS and the only sign I would have for PCOS is the irregular cycle. So I'm wondering am I just hella stressed or is it PCOS potentially? We are currently TTC so I'm really worried about the struggle ahead of us if it is PCOS

Champo Specco 6 – Revenge of the Sith Surrey. This week we’re sponsored by Jimmy Anderson, and I’m not going to do a joke because the man deserves nothing but respect.
The imminent retirement of England’s GOAT has had the side effect of sending a lot of big name cricket media into the murky world people like me inhabit. There have already been roughly two billion articles about who could ‘replace’ Jimmy, and obviously most of them are daft because there simply isn’t a replacement for what Jimmy is. What we do have though are some very interested swing bowlers who now have extra motivation to make their points. Oh, and also some batting and spin and stuff happened too.
On the radar
New ball seam bowlers: The true county connoisseur’s choice is Sam Cook, who didn’t play this week but continues to be the holder of a) the best numbers and b) the best record of self-improvement. Also possibly the best (English) strike partner in Jamie Porter, whose time may have passed but would undoubtedly serve well if called. The critics choice seems to be the rapidly emerging Dillon Pennington, who took 7 in Notts’ strong win over Lancs and picked an excellent time to have what’s shaping up to be his best ever champo season. Possessed of the height this England setup love so much, and with an army of journos singing his praises, he might be where the smart money is. Matty Potts, the front runner preseason, hasn’t had the torrent of wickets he’s got in the last two years but he’s starting to adjust to Div 1 the unexpected addition of some reasonably handy batting might add a different string to his bow. My guess is that Potts, Cook and Pennington all get selected at some point this summer.
In the point-of-difference old-ball stakes Olly Stone has now remained fit for multiple games and seems to be coming back to the form that got him selected initially. Saqib Mahmood hasn’t quite got there in form terms yet but the fact that he’s bowling at all is good progress. Gus Atkinson was rested this round but continues to show his potential. There are younger guns too like Ajeet Dale, who continues to bowl quick and get wickets on a consistent basis. None of these is a Jimmy, or a Broad, but there seems to be enough talent to at least keep the home fires burning.
Jamie Smith, Ali Orr, Kiran Carlson, Tom Prest: All relatively young guns with good tons. Smith is almost certainly the most hyped of the four, already in possession of an England cap in white ball and demonstrating the aggression and fluency that make him look a perfect prototype of Bazball. Orr and Prest both had some sense of coming of age, the former finally demonstrating why Hants poached him after a difficult start and the latter showing the potential he’s had from juniors. Carlson, older and already in possession of a solid body of work, continues to be one of the best bats to watch in the champo, and also one of the best ‘taches. Haseeb Hameed, who’s still relatively young, got a huge double ton and gave those of us still fervently watching him a big thrill.
Off the radar
Dan Lawrence/Josh Bohannon: DLaw had a fun start to life in Surrey by transforming into a spin bowler who bats a bit, and seems to be continuing in that vein. He’ll probably still get the England call but its hard to see whose spot he takes given Smith’s heroics. Bohannon, Lions captain in winter, seems to have fallen off a bit of a form cliff, unable to do much as Lancs continue their slump. If there was ever a chance of Ollie Pope losing his test place it feels like neither has really pushed their credentials. Zak Crawley is also continuing to be a bit rubbish in the Champo, but his ability to look poor for Kent and then great for England is well established, and after his last two test series he’s a lock in the team.
Injuries: I mentioned some high-ish profile returners in Stone and Mahmood, and we also had Sam Hain back and making a few runs this round, albeit not enough to stop the surrey steamroller. Jack Carson unfortunately joined his fellow Lion Matt Fisher on the leg injury list, and hot prospect John Turner is still yet to appear at Hants. Ollie Robinson still seems to have some mysterious absence of fitness too, and while the likes of Chris Woakes and Mark Wood are probably just keeping their powder dry it would be nice to see them soon. The factor that makes both Anderson and Broad’s loss feel so monumental is longevity, and that’s linked to both just being relentlessly fit and ready to bowl. I hope those traits can be rediscovered in the next generation.
Will definitely play for England one day: Jamie Smith, James Coles, Miles Hammond, Tom Prest
Nice to see them having fun: Ed Barnard, Haseeb Hameed, Liam Dawson, Marchant de Lange, David Bedingham, Jack Leaning, Matthew Waite, Gareth Roderick.
Nice but also a bit worrying to see them having fun: Jayden Seales, Jason Holder, Kemar Roach.
I was in Portugal for the entire round and only watched highlights. What did I miss?

Here is my situation and would like some second opinions before contacting the host.
I am about 10 days into a 40 day long stay in an upper floor apartment for school not travel. The listing said no AC, which I assumed would be no big deal because it’s May and the lows for the night where I am located would be 0-12 degrees C, with highs from 10-20C (maybe 25 near the end of the stay) during the day. Why would I need AC right??
First week or so I am here, it got below freezing at night, was very cloudy and rainy. I did not have any issue with the temperature, it stayed below 20 inside. However last few days I have woken up to it being sunny and my apartment being 25C and about 70% RH. Now here’s the kicker, it reached a low of 5C outside and at 8AM was 10C and I slept the entire night with the window open as much as it would open and a 6” fan (that I brought myself) blowing outside air into the room all night!! I have to close the window when I leave for school due to connected balconies and being in the hood, so when I get home at 430 is usually closer to 27C. I open the window trying to blow like 15C air into the room and it only is able to offset the heat generated by the shower, oven and fridge I am using. So the room temp doesn’t drop much until 8pm, then it is able to crawl down to about 22C by 1030 and does not go much lower. Only for it to start heating back up at 5am I am terrified this place will be actually hostile to my health if the temperatures get any hotter outside…. I theorize the reasons it can get so hot are a combination of:
-piss poor ventilation to my room through a central system (heat through is a manual radiant system fyi. It is most certainly off in my room and not playing a factor)
-being on the 6th floor to a poorly planned old building that probably used to be office space
-knee to ceiling windows across the whole apartment that face east with blinds that are very bad at stopping convection air flow at the tops and bottom
-very old inefficient fridge and stove that put out a lot of heat with no room dividing walls in the suite.
As for how the humidity gets so high, I have absolutely no idea. I think the tiny ventilation duct (there is only 1) is bringing hot humid air from the rest of the apartment building. I am on floor 6 out of 7. I am somewhat conflicted because I am aware the room said no AC when I booked. But I also believe it’s reasonable expectation that no AC means your apartment will be at most 1 maybe 2C hotter than the outside ambient air temp. And differences of up to 15C and 40% humidity is completely insane. Last few days have been barely tolerable and if my apartment temps continue to increase with the forecasted outside temperatures I would like the host to either issue a full refund so I can stay somewhere else or deliver a 10 000 BTU stand alone AC unit. Is that unreasonable?
Thanks for the help

Hello- I was hoping to see if anyone could help advise me on going back to spiro or not. I am, and have been, on injectable EV since the beginning of my transition 9 months ago. Since then, my levels have been as such:
3 month followup: E 72 pg/ml, T 27 ng/dl Dosage 6mg EV 1x weekly, 100mg spiro/day, 0.5 mg dutasteride/day End of month 3, Moving up ev to 8mg, switching to 2x weekly (every 3.5 days) and eliminating spiro
6 month followup: E 240 pg/ml, T 36 ng/dl Continuing prior dosage of 8mg 2x weekly with dutasteride
9 month followup: E 361 pg/ml, T 46 ng/dl Presently continuing prior dosage
So it looks like my T has been trending upwards since discontinuing spiro, yet my E is "too high," as my provider believes I should be in the 100-200 range. I disagree with her on this point, which is why I am asking y'all for a second opinion. She has suggested that I could go back on spiro 100mg/day, to lower my T and "encourage additional breasts growth," but I have seen zero evidence that spiro can contribute specifically to breast growth, beyond continuing to lower my T, and weak evidence that it could conceivably hurt my breast growth. I am definitely visibly feminizing but I had hoped for more fat redistribution by 9 months, but perhaps that could just be from being a runner and being on a slight calorie deficit. She is unable to prescribe a different AA apparently so spiro or boosting E higher are my only options here.
So TLDR, ultimately, to distill this down to a simple question; is 46 a problematic T level for feminization? Do y'all think I should go back on spiro to further reduce T, and is the slow upward trend in testosterone problematic for the future of my feminization? Are there any ADVANTAGES to taking spiro to make this feel less like a failure to me? Would love to hear any thoughts anyone has on any of this. Thank you! ❤️

Please only send chat requests. I will not reply to comments or direct messages.
What I want to find is someone that I can talk to on a regular basis. I enjoy talking to people throughout the day and consistently. Not just when the person is "bored." I know that we both have other things to take care of in our lives, so our schedules wouldn't be open to be able to talk all day, but just being there for each other would be nice. Eventually, after some time of talking, we could meet and hang out.
Also, let's talk on DISC to stay in touch better. If you don't have it or are opposed to it, then pass. Don't be upset.
This is my preference so respect it. I also want to do voice calls and video calls. If you can't, then again, pass on me.
All of these things are MY preferences. If you are reading this and don't like it then okay. That's your opinion. You are not being forced to talk to me. There is a friend out there for you.
My stats: I'm 27, female, Hispanic, 5'6, slender, brown eyes, and brown hair.
Please be in shape, don't bring drama, and be in the United States. I don't want to deal with huge time differences. Also, don't tell me you can't call until like a month or day.
If this all sounds good to you, then send me a message.
And provide your stats and your disc.
Please be patient with my reply, as I'll be filtering out the spam. Thanks.
