There's a huge pull for Mormons to see their family again, it's one of the ways they manipulate you the hardest. If you're a good mormon, but this other person wasn't, then you'll basically never see them again. (Or meet them, in the case of ancestors). Plus it's a bragging point, I knew people who kept a count of everyone they did this for.

As an ex-mormon, I feel I should point out that they don't believe they're claiming the dead whom they're baptizing. They're providing an opportunity for the dead person to choose and accept the baptism.

That said, f#*# organized religion. The Mormon church especially.

Sorry about that dude! This doesn't help with the pain right now, but they've just started human trials on a new therapy that re-enables your tooth buds, allowing you to grow a new set of adult teeth. Maybe it'll be available soonish 🤞

Thanks!

I think the consensus is tick larva or nymph. Must have found a nest.

Thanks for your input

Ugh, did some Google searches again. Larval or nymph phase ticks look like that might be it. I found like 4 of these crawling on me just a few minutes ago.

Thanks, hopefully I'll not see any more.

In the Kentucky/Indiana area.

Pretty sure it's not a chigger, I've never run into those here. Did some googling, from what I'm able to see, I don't think it's a bed bug either. Doesn't seem to match any phase.

Perhaps they're tiny ticks. Hope not. I posted more pics to another comment thread, lmk if those help.

Yeah I don't think they're ticks. But they could be. I've found like 4 more on me just now. From googling, I suspect they MIGHT be bird mites....

 

Tiniest little bug. I only saw 4 legs, but it probably has more. Adding more pics in the comments, can only upload one. Phone wouldn't really focus on it.

Correct! Sorry for missing that.

Does this still benefit the CP consuming original creator

 
 

I've been keeping my pebble 2 alive for a very long time. New battery a few months ago, rewiring the vibrator motor due to the wire breaking at the solder point, new 3d printed buttons.

It's been working great for a very long time. Today, the motor itself is dead, resoldering it yielded no joy.

I think I need to retire this watch. I've asked my brother if I could buy one of his (he backed all the kickstarters) that isn't working any more. I'll replace the battery in it, and get it working again.

It's so sad that these aren't made any more. No significant changes or updates in what, like 7 years, and it still functions nearly perfectly. I wish so badly that someone would pick up where they left off and manufacture some more.
