Depends on where the wobble originates from. That much and the way it behaves is probably misadjusted spokes and not the axle or bearing. I'm 70% sure you could fix this by adjusting the spokes. There's probably a tutorial somewhere. If the rim is too crooked, you might have to straighten that out first, but it usually isn't necessary.

You will need a bit of patience if you've never trued up a bike rim before. No idea what a repair shop would charge for doing it for you, but check what a new wheel would set you back first.

I talk to anaesthetists though work and they say us redheads need more to be kept under. It's my anecdotal experience with local as well, I always tell dentists and other non specialists that I need more than usual, they never believe me and then they have to give me additional shots later cuz it still hurts. Some try to perform the procedure anyway, which I usually can't cope with, so I'm not so sure I can handle pain better than others.

I personally think it's a great idea, but you're gonna get a lot of pushback from petrol purists, especially if you do it on something rare. Maybe don't do it on a Ferrari GT250 for example because you will get murdered. I like to emphasize that this isn't a threat from me, it's a warning to be careful. I'd actually love to see the reactions. From a safe distance of course.

I mean, why not? It's a great way to keep something old and loved going in a more useful and environmentally friendly way. Go for it.

Neanderthal me be. We aren't all extinct, thank you very much.

You're right, it doesn't contradict your statement and the middle/lower classes picking up on it may in fact have happened the way you described. I could have expressed that better. Sorry about that.

No one does that except for people believing it's a thing the upper class/nobility does. Which of course they don't. Try to find video of the Nobel price dinner for example and see if any of the royalty poke their pinky out while drinking. Not that I'd worry about emulating those unelected sponges, but if there's one thing they do know, it's etiquette.

I have already started the affirmations. Feels a little weird, but I think it will work. Thank you so much. <3

Maybe not as pretty as you, but I'll take it. I will also turn 50 in a couple of years ago.

I feel you about the beard, I had mine for the better part of 20 years. My face was not pleased with me when I shaved. Shocked, even.

I'm one of those that managed to hide my inner girl even from myself until pretty recently. Oh, there were clues and signs aplenty but I didn't see 'em. I've never been classically feminine or even had classically feminine interests which is part of why it took me so long to understand. I'm more of a grease monkey biker chick. I know that's valid of course, but it did hamper my discovery. How much of that is me and much is "the mask", I don't know. I do buy and wear a lot of pink stuff too, so who knows? But I try to not worry too much about it, I can't go around second guessing everything I do.

But I always disliked what I saw in the mirror and a low self confidence is par for the course with that. I will try your method of convincing myself I've been wrong all these years. Can't hurt. As you say, we're beautiful. Now I just gotta believe it too. 😅

You go girl. I'm a bit jealous of your courage, but it also gives me someone to look up to. I haven't dared going out in full kit yet, I do it slowly instead. Not sure why, but it feels better for me.

We actually look kinda similar and are of similar age, I think. Not twins similar, but siblings maybe. Actually more similar than my actual brothers, but noone guesses we are siblings unless they're told. I have a hard time looking in the mirror and see what I want to see, but it is easier to be objective when looking at someone else and you look amazing. Maybe I can look good too, you know? Thank you for sharing, it really does help.

Yes, literally. Probably contagious too. Watch out or you'll catch the gay. Ohh, so that's the plan. Sneaky, I like it.

It is also a really good movie and I think it still holds up. I've seen it at least 3-4 times, but the cast and the story makes it worth watching again, not just because it has two lesbian characters as leads.
