Wait there is no tooth fairy? Does that mean that Santa and Jesus are imaginary as well?

If a friend asks for help, you help him.

My child never believed in the tooth fairy.

Used as a system to find out what the person is ok talking about! Ach, thank you so much I finally understand this.... I've mistakenly thought of it as a flatly structured(?) pool of green-light questions but this is organized quite differently! Must be easy on the other person's nerves too because at this level the asker wouldn't look nervous for them to feel like they must answer..

That's not someone you'd be happy with even if you were taller than 6' so don't worry about it.

Thats why you go down the FORD progression. Eg Did you grow up around here? Are your kids nearby? They give a short answer move onto occupation. What do you do for work? Is that your passion? Get no engagement move onto recreation. What do you like to do for fun? Etc….

If its very one sided either you haven’t clicked on aomething they want to talk about or they dont want to talk to you. Knowing when to stop is just as imporntant. Exhaust the whole FORD then say it was great meeting you and immediately move on

73k gross or net? What about business / rental income

Hike with bear spray and a loud bell.

If you're a smaller person, paint eye balls on the back of your hat.

Black bears are chicken shits. Don't corner them or go near their babies and they'll typically run away from you.

In video games they're usually pretty timid so you should be good. Lol. Jk, I wouldn't without a gun. Or cans of bear mace. Cans. Plural. One claw swipe could render you unable to walk. Then you're really fuucked if u have no reception.

Don't hike silently, make some noise so as not to startle wildlife. They don't want to see you either! Brown bears are the ones to worry about anyhow.

I read this in the voice of Patrick Bateman.

Depends on how fast you can bike

It's largely going to be genetic. There are outlying issues, like if you have scoliosis or spina bifida which can cost you some inches, but otherwise it's going to be your genetics. One thing you can do to make sure you're growing is to make sure you're eating a healthy diet and getting plenty of exercise. Stimulate your muscles and your bones without damaging them. And get plenty of sleep at night.

I've also heard you get get a little bit extra with gravity boots or an inversion table, but I'm a little dubious on those claims.

Yeah man, black bears are pretty chill just do some bear safety online and be mindful and away you go

Don't tell me that. My 15 year old is already like 5'11" at 15. I don't need him towering over me any more than he already is. lol

They might mug you but aside from that you’ll be fine

Thanks for explaining! I've always felt anxious talking/having others talk about these, seeing them as either very long stories or very short ones and very specific to the person themself. I'm gonna try to listen in on some conversations keeping the idea in mind :D

(By either very long or very short I imagine things'd be like: "at work everything just.... happens the way it must" "my mother tries to find herself a second husband and i'm worried because she really isn't the people type, she's got empty ideas about how living with people should work. but then so have i so anyways not in a place to judge but still worried......")

I graduated right into a well paying job right after college-I stayed there till I left that community and my husband used his two year diploma to work his way up into upper municipal management in that field. Same with our oldest, they are working in their chosen field making good bucks after graduating with a two year diploma while our youngest has never been able to work in her field after getting her soft science degree (would need to have gone on for her masters) but she used that degree to help join the military as an officer, so I guess it was a positive life experience for her.

Yeah black bears are pussies.

There's only one medical treatment available to you that is proven to help. But you'll need a doctor and they will need to agree youre the right candidate. And that is Human Growth Hormone. According to the studies, it only works while youre still growing and your bones haven't fused in your back. I don't recommend this treatment, but it's something to look into if youre really worried about height. This is what Lionel Messi did to grow taller when he was a teenager.
