Custard apple tree family crossword

I decided to get myself a Developer Account for 99€. My question is do i have to be afraid of my account being banned if i use to many apps on several iDevices?
I would like to use Unc0ver on my wifes iPhone and my own and some apps like uYou on my childrens iPhones well all have an own Apple-ID which are connected with Family Sharing. I do have other iDevices aswell which i would like to play around with and install some apps.
Only thing holding me back is that im afraid apple will somehow see it and ban my account.
PS. Could i even use it to give my friends some tweaked apps?
Really hoping someone can give me his knowledge about it.

Sorry, this still wound up being pretty lengthy. Probably a million typos too.
Ok so I've typed this twice and I keep making it way longer than it probably needs to be to get to the point. But it was a crazy fucking situation and frankly even I'm still struggling to process it all. So, take 3, sticking to basic details pertaining to the title. Feel free to ask additional questions.
5 days ago a giant ass 80 foot oak tree was uprooted during a storm and collapsed on our home. It completely caved in my bedroom. I was home with my 5yo daughter and 13yo stepdaughter. My SO (their dad) was not home. My daughter had been in my room with me just 10-15 minutes before it happened. We went out to the living room to play. I had been hiding (playing hide and seek, relevant detail) with her when it happened. Came out literally seconds before it fell to check on things as the storm was getting loud af.
Long story short, we don't get much extreme weather where we live. This crazy storm came out of nowhere and escalated quickly, basically no warning this tree was coming down. My daughter was closest to it, maybe about 10 feet away from my open bedroom door. My stepdaughter and I were there in the living room with her. Suddenly just this crazy deafening boom, dust cloud puffing up out of my room, power went out then started flickering on and off, view out the living room window obstructed by the fallen tree.
The girls screamed bloody murder. Then my daughter jumped on the couch and started crying hysterically, my stepdaughter froze where she was standing. I grabbed them and got them to my stepdaughter's room, closet door frame, where I felt was the sturdiest safest place farthest from the cave in that I could get them before making sure there was a safe way to get them out. Told them to stay together there while I went to make sure the way out was clear and to look for our upstairs neighbor. My daughter was still crying and begged me not to leave them. That's still fucking me up, remembering the fear and desperation in her voice. Neighbor was ok (albeit borderline hysterical and nonfunctional), lead her downstairs, front door of our building was clear, got the girls and toonthem put to the porch (which appeared to be untouched and secure).
Skipping the details, everyone was ok. My stepdaughter went to stay with her mom and the rest of us slept at my sister's house (who is out of town anyway). The next day my parents took my daughter and kept her for 2 nights for us so we could more easily begin the process of moving out what we could and coming up with a game plan (as it will be months before we can move back in).
Now to the point of posting all this here. There was a storm at my parent's house while my daughter was there. My mom said she had a bit of a PTSD moment. She got really scared and upset and said more than once that she didn't want it to happen again.
And now that she's been back with us a couple days, I'm noticing another issue. She seems to get pretty distressed if she doesn't know where I am. If I just leave the room to go to the bathroom without announcing it and she realizes I'm not there she starts calling out and looking for me in an anxious tone of voice. I'll call out to her and tell her where I am and she'll say "OK, I just didn't know where you were" with a tense edge to her voice still. I put her toys in a room my sister had just been renovating (mostly done, safe for my daughter, but no furniture moved in yet) and she doesn't want to be in there alone to play.
So it seems she's feeling some separation anxiety and fear of being alone, especially involving me. She's always been kind of on the clingy side but not to this extent. I feel like I freaking permanently scarred my child because I was playing hide and seek and she couldn't find me moments before experiencing something really scary and chaotic and traumatic. Rationally I know I didn't do anything wrong, but I'm feeling so guilty for having been hiding, for not having been by her side. For having to leave her behind with her sister for ever though it was probably only for a minute or so and what I felt I had to do in the moment to keep her safe. We've all been crashing in my sister's loving room together and I'm ensure how it's going to go when we're able to get her back into a bed in her own room again.
And now lastly, she wet the bed last night (and by bed I mean my sister's sofa). She's got potty training and overnights well in hand, it's the first time she's done that in ages. So I'm worried about her and how she's doing. I'm trying to approach it carefully so I don't risk inadvertently coaching her into feeling more than she might already or put ideas or feelings in her head that might not already be there.
She's never experienced something traumatic like this before, I'm just fumbling along doing my best to handle it correctly. While feeling guilty, even if irrationally, for maybe having made the moment worse. All while squashing down all the other feelings swirling around my head, cuz fucking hell it was scary. Believe it or not this is a shorter far less dramatic telling of the story, lol. I kept my shit together for the kids and my neighbor, and to look for my pets, including crawling under the collapsed viewing (that portion being propped up by our exercise bike) to get to my bunny who apparently ran to hide in his damaged cage (he isn't kept closed in it) with fallen bricks around it. And all the other bajillion feelings about losing our home, items lost, the guilt of inconveniencing friends and family, stress about finances, my pets being in less than ideal accommodations (though they're all safe and uninjured and cared for).
Anxiety and difficult feelings are not new to me, lol, I can handle it, I'll get through it. But I hate seeing the impact it's having on my daughter. I just hope I'm handling everything correctly with her.

Hello all Redditors, I'm a 2x CEO who was forced to close up shop in late parts of 2021 due to issues brought about by my partner whom had been doing nefarious things under our company name. My past companies were in biotech and intellectual property consulting. I have a bachelor's in mathematics from a fine school, and moved away from the area to a new place and have since got counseling for the absolutely insane story that ensued after discovering the wrong-doings mentioned and confronting the person. My partner was my father who held a lawyer and accounting license which is why I hadn't much thought he was capable of doing some of these things to people, let alone someone in his own family. Before that I worked developing companies from scratch and helping them achieve Pinksheets OTC status (have aided in more than 4 companies getting to this level) for public trading - preparing SEC form S-1's and advanced business plans including forecasting, industry statistics, and more. I also worked as Operations Manager for a solar company, lead information analyst and business developer at another agency, and my first job out of college was as a genetic sequencer for the AIDS genome working at the NCI (National Cancer Institute). Since moving, I've applied to LITERALLY over 1200 jobs on LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, and others, while also attempting to solicit jobs on Upwork and freelancer.com, all to no avail. I have gone to multiple job fairs, and had great interviews (3 of the 1200 jobs applied to). The area I live in has good prospects for engineers who have security clearances, but I am not applicable for security clearance because of a prescribed medication I take. I would like to be in a place where I feel comfortable starting another business, but at this point money is sparse and I need stable income. In the interviews I've had, the lower-level jobs tell me I'm far too over-qualified and some of the jobs I believed to be at my level want people who have been working specifically only in that job title for over 7 years (which seems obscene). I have been applying to statistics, data science, leadership roles, management, director, officer, and other positions, and I've gained huge experience since leaving my company in IT and software development, SEO, machine learning, and other essential tools for business development as well as becoming acquainted with cloud platforms, software languages, and data archetypes much more intensely. It is getting to a point after over a year without a position that I cannot reconcile why I am not able to get any responses and any time I ask for feedback, the recruiters say they don't have enough time to respond. I must be missing something because I've done everything suggested - from going to job fairs in person, to improving my skills in the meantime, to getting Harvard Course certifications, emailing recruiters directly, expanding my circle on LinkedIn and more. I'm more than halfway done with a mobile app I'm developing on Flutter for android and apple phones that I've been working on alone, and have two other company ideas that are generally in development, but will not be finished in the near future. It is becoming extremely disappointing after moving to a cheaper area already to have had no job the entire time. I've even posted tutoring services in the local area all over Facebook and so much more. I would prefer a remote position as it is something I'm more comfortable with, but have applied to in-person positions as well. Again, all I can conclude is I'm just missing something that other people understand, because countless days of research, performing quizzes for applications, and filling out job listing after job listing has left me with a feeling that seems personal at some level. I have googled my name and not found anything specific that would prevent me from getting a position either at or near the same level as before. I believe I'm extremely capable and apt to perform duties necessary for the jobs I apply to, but like I wrote as my title, I have to be doing something wrong in my process. Please advise.

Edit: sorry I got some usernames wrong! Thank you to the mod for helping - I clearly can't read! Haha.
Hey all! Just wanted to post a massive thank you to all for the amazing Housewarming cards. Thanks to the recommendation of a sender - I am considering making a big colourful display of all my cards in the entrance hallway. I will keep all of these safe, for life! This subreddit has really lifted me in what has been a stressful time, and I am genuinely grateful to all of you.
Thank you to u/Lethbridge_Totty for the fabulous illustrated mushroom card and the gorgeous vintage stamps you used. You inspired me to buy vintage stamps for my own cards, which arrived yesterday! Massive fan of the SpongeBob meme sticker you used and the annotation - you have me jokes :)
Thank you to u/ninajyang for the encouraging housewarming card. Little messages like this keep me going in my unpacking!
Thank you to u/StrawberryForestLady for the beautiful Travel Bureau postcard of Montana. The graphic design is lovely, and the colour scheme matches my curtains!
Thank you to u/LeeElla for the adorable card with illustration of puppies. Reminds me of my little Keith when I first got him! You asked what I plan to grow - I think I might be a little late this year sadly. But I do plan on tomatoes, onions, strawberries and potatoes as my beginner crops. I love that you loved the Barbican in London, because I love it too! Late last decade, I spent a fair few hours in the library there filling in job applications. It's a gorgeous place.
Thank you to u/Monetmonkey for the pretty blue/pink new home card. Your writing of my name in calligraphy was very much appreciated! You're good! I might give it a try. Also, thank you for the washi!
Thank you to u/GreetingCardShark for the very pretty lake landscape card. I'd love to visit that place!
Thank you to u/seashine2878 for the funky postcard. The 'Proud Dog Parent' sticker was super cute.
Thank you to u/stephkempf for the lovely graphic housewarming card with the housewarming poem. You had exactly the card for the occasion!
Thank you to u/primaryloon for the lush homemade card. I wish I had your crafty skills! The dinosaur stamps are so cool :)
Thank you to u/peggyannsfeet (fantastic username hahaha) for the housewarming card. You asked how the Coronation was - well even as someone indifferent to the monarchy, I did watch it and it was nice to have an excuse to get together with the family. I bought some of the commemorative stamps to use as I thought some might appreciate them :)
Thank you to u/jane_q for the very artsy homemade rainbow card (a very happy Pride to you - wherever you are - it's brilliant) and meaningful and encouraging message inside - you sound like a lovely person :) The stickers are amazing! I got a shock when they fell out onto my lap. I'll be using them in my future cards.
Thank you to u/calebs_dad for the very cute mushroom house card. I love my flat, but I wanna climb into the little mushroom house and live a fairytale life there for the rest of my days.
Thank you to u/AppleCritter723 for the awesome X Wing card! I've got it sat next to my Lego Stormtrooper head. Please I beg you to tell me, where did you get that Star Wars washi?!
Thank you to u/rosiealeo1 for the encouragement vending machine card. You put a big smile on my face. And now I'm thinking about snacks
Thank you to u/okayflan for the the encouraging card with the very jazzy sticker decoration! They're so cute. And thank you for the stickers - I will be using them in the future cards I send :)
Thank you to u/kluky_effective8600 for the lush homemade golden housewarming card. I have no idea how you managed to cut the card in places so small but I applaud you for your skill. You asked what I'm excited to grow - I'd say potatoes mostly as I've never grown them before and I really want to make my own french fries. Yummy.
Thank you to u/toni_jade for lovely card. The stamp is so cute and tiny! And I love your tiny stickers - adorable. You asked how the dog is enjoying the place - well, he does like the garden but when I let him out, he goes to do his business and decides to come straight back inside. Then once in, he runs and runs around the house like it's going out of fashion. So in effect, the garden has become a big expensive toilet. And I'm very happy for it, hahaha
Thank you to u/-Rainbowquarts- for the very artsy illustrated mountain landscape card. I almost want to frame it :)
Thank you to u/DianaPenPal for the lovely matching lemon card and envelope, and the artsy stickers you have bestowed upon me! The poems were lovely.
Lastly but by no means least, thank you u/riverfaerie1 for the gorgeous photocard of an old (Dutch style, I think?) House with cabbage patch. I want to lay there and make soups and broths and read books. I hope the little nest of baby birds are doing well?

Below, you can read an informal essay example written by one of the EssayShark writers. Read it carefully to understand the structure and tone of this type of essay. Also, notice how the author addresses the topic of the most embarrassing memory and uses touching points to describe the situation better.
The Most Embarrassing Memory
Each summer as a child, my parents would surprise the family with a week-long trip. Many summers we would be surprised with a beautiful beach trip or tent camping in a remote forest. I can remember one summer more prominently than others because of how memorable the vacation was. Not because it was one of our best trips, nor because we went on our first long road trip. This trip is burned into my memory primarily due to the fact I had never been more embarrassed as a kid than what happened on this family vacation.
Like most children, I experienced embarrassing moments. I would not say I was more sensitive to experiencing them, but even when I try to forget, my parents still bring it up to this day. The morning of our trip started early. I stared out the window for what seemed like hours. After I finished listening to a few CDs and drank my entire water bottle, I was thrilled to find that we were pulling into a rest stop. The rest stop was full of vehicles and visitors looking at the different historic maps and pictures that had decorated the place. My mom said to be quick, and without skipping a beat, cd player in hand, I headed to the restroom. It was nice to finally stretch out, use the restroom, and get away from the vehicle for a few moments.
Once I was finished, I ran back to the car, got in my seat, and buckled up. As I was staring out the window, I could see my mother off in the distance. She seemed to be worried, but I didn’t pay any mind, as it always felt like she was worried or in a hurry. The car was getting hot and I wondered when my family would make it back to the car, especially since they said to be quick. Seconds turned into minutes, and I was getting bored of waiting. I then heard my mother and father calling my name. I had suspected they knew I was in the car, but from that moment, I knew they hadn’t seen me.
I opened the car door, and with a puzzled look, an older lady was staring at me. She stated, “Are you lost, dear?” I was puzzled, thinking, no, I am just getting out of the car. It was then my mother came running up to me, yelling, “What are you doing!?” As I turned to point to the car, I realized I had gotten into someone else’s car. My father laughed, my mother shook her head, and the older lady joined in, and the laughter seemed to rumble to my core. I felt so embarrassed to not have only climbed into the wrong vehicle, but people I didn’t even know were laughing at my poor decision and lack of awareness.
The road trip to the big red tree forest that year was a great one, though the drive couldn’t have felt longer due to the constant chatter of what I had done. This trip was not memorable for the mountain high trees, the flowing rivers, or even the cave exploration. No, this trip was memorable because a young kid couldn’t look up and notice that he hopped into the wrong car, and everyone, including strangers, laughed.

I haven’t even flirted for such a long time, and lately, during those boring lunches where people just talk about heiresses’ dogs’ illnesses (a Pomeranian dog shares all her illnesses with her owner) or gossip about some technocrat who has a limp and who may be cheating on his partner, and while rice with cod is served, I am asked “darling, are you dating yet?”. No, I am not, and here I am, mostly because dating apps are too dull – unfortunately the odds of being flashed by a Jewish 19 year-old from Manchester is smaller on these things, though sometimes you might have some luck and end up being insulted randomly by a Portuguese girl, who is visiting her uncle.
I do have names, and surnames, and I was born in a big city in Brazil. My sister used to describe our childhood address as “a building with cars and trees and buildings”, which is a rather good description of much of the city. For a while I wanted to join the seminary but after having to face the fact that this was an inadequate career choice considering I didn’t believe in God and had always found masses to be awfully boring (though fascinating at times – the priest at my childhood church used to go on long rants about things, of which there are many) often turning my back to see the watch, and so I chose the next best thing: I am studying sociology, which involves, in many ways, taking a vow of poverty. I also work at a small online newspaper so I am well informed on sub celebrities and local occurrences such as babies heroically rescued by policemen after choking on the thing babies eat. And yes, I write poetry sometimes.
I am fascinated fairly often by everything, or many things, at least so you won’t be bored. These last days I ended up reading a lot of things about Egypt after reading about Ottoman chief eunuchs being exiled to Cairo after their tenure. In general, I really enjoy the humanities. I follow politics keenly – in fact, there is some chance I might have some thoughts on your country’s politics – and I’d say I am on the centre-left – pro-choice, in favour of a robust welfare state, LGBTQ+ rights, affirmative action. If you know about Brazilian politics, I voted for Marina and Haddad in 2018 (the voting age here is 16), and Lula last year.
As you can imagine, I also really enjoy reading and writing. Besides poetry, I have often thought about writing a novel, but this seems like too much work – and it seems that it would be arrogant of me to write a novel having lived this little, though it wouldn't be uncommon. I really enjoy learning about other languages and cultures and I know a bit of French, German, Spanish, and Russian, besides English and Portuguese. I’d really like to learn Arabic and/or Mandarin. I am really into genealogy, and I know quite a bit about it. I often cry while watching dumb movies (I cried during Minions!) or listening to beautiful music; my music taste has been described as “fairly gay” and in movies as “slightly gay”.
I guess I am pretty introverted, polite, and timid (well, I am on here after all). I am affectionate and I can be really passionate as well. And I am fairly funny, or rather, I have made a few people laugh over the years. I asked a close friend to describe myself, and that is what he said:

I think you’re very communicative. Shrewd, funny, a good companion. Kind of withdrawn but not necessarily shy. You avoid conflict and unnecessary arguments, but love to participate in good conversations. I think you’re very kind too, besides being polite.

As for what I want to do with my life, I am unsure though I am inclined to go into academia. I have been considering applying to a PhD program in the U.S. after finishing my undergrad here in Brazil. My family does want me to go into their business, which is related to politics. I have also considered going into diplomacy.
Who am I looking for? I’d like someone curious about the world around her, and open-minded. The rest? Cultural differences can be interesting and I am open to converting (nominally?) to most world religions.
Some poems I really like:

• Litany for our lord Don Quixote by Ruben Dario
  
• Tobacco Shop by Fernando Pessoa
  
• Ash Wednesday by T. S. Eliot
  

Some songs I have been listening to:

• Ariana Grande - 7 Rings
  
• Rosalía - Delirio de Grandeza
  
• Pescado Rabioso - Cantata de Puentes Amarillos
  

I had a yearbook picture of a family member saved as a source to their tree, but I deleted it and now I am trying to find it again- but it’s not coming up when I search the same criteria that I did before. So the search is exactly the same- but it’s not coming up now. How do I find it?

So, for a suggestion to be good, I think it should address a problem in the game. A couple of the problems I see with the current Lifestyle system:
(1) I often bounce around and cherry-pick perks I want/need depending on the situation. This is good, and the 5-year cooldown on swapping makes this balanced, but the issue is that unless a particular tree has something really good at the end, I often just swap out after I grab the perk I want. (2) Some trees are taken too often, such as Medicine. Living longer is almost always a good thing, so I inevitably find myself swapping to the medicine learning branch at some point in the game. Having a system in place to make this not such an obvious choice would be good. (3) Some perks are just too good, such as Meritocracy (what kind of prompted this idea).
So, my proposed solution: Capstone Perks. These would be powerful perks that could only be taken once all three branches of a lifestyle were completed. This would make them difficult to acquire, and often only acquired towards the end of a characters life, so they could be "overpowered" without making the game too easy. For example, let's say the capstone perk of the Martial lifestyle allowed you a one-time invasion CB? What if Meritocracy was locked to the capstone perk of the Intrigue lifestyle? I can't claim to have the best idea for the capstone perks themselves, so by all means add in suggestions, but here is why I think they would be such a good thing.
Let's say I'm going through my campaign, I hit my 50s, and normally I would swap to the Medicine tree to hopefully get Whole of Body before I hit 70, and thereby extend my character's life into his 80s, maybe 90s. Those extra years can be very potent, but what if I were a stewardship focused character, which is often a good first choice to get your initial buildings down, your MAAs built up, and the extra demesne limit is invaluable. I often take the Architect tree, to be able to build up all those buildings, and sometimes the gold tree, as gold is very useful, especially early game. But I rarely take the Administrator tree. Not because it's bad, but because the other two trees are often better, and by the time I'd get around to it, I need to swap to the Medicine tree.
What if the capstone perk of the Stewardship tree let you build buildings from one tech level above your current one? Or maybe it added one extra building slot to your capital? Now you have to make a choice. Do you swap to Medicine, and live longer, or do you stick Stewardship out and perhaps build extra buildings to leave a stronger demesne upon succession?
Maybe make the capstone perk of Martial be "Eliminates the ability to randomly die in a duel, however, injuries sustained from duels can still kill you by reducing your overall health." This would eliminate one of the sources of frustration: that 0 Prowess old man who had to be told which end of the sword to use ending the life of your 48 Prowess berserker viking. Or maybe have it unlock a special type of Journey where you could go on an Adventure, similar to the Adventures you'd go on in warrior societies in CK2, where you'd go to a foreign kingdom, duel a bunch of people, and depending on how well you did, and if you succeeded or not, you'd earn a ton of renown for your family, and maybe even come back with a unique artifact.
I'm getting off track, so I'll end with this: the best way to encourage different player choices is to give them two (or more) GOOD options. Force the players to make a decision, but make those decisions both impactful and fun. It would also make you heavily consider which education to give your children. "Hm, during my son's reign, he'll reach the next tech level, so the stewardship capstone of getting buildings of the next tech level would be very broken. But I also kinda wanted to do X, so maybe I should educate him in Y instead..." That sort of thing.
What do you guys think? Any ideas for capstone perks? Remember, they'd have to be strong enough to justify the investment, because getting more than 3 lifestyle trees finished in a single lifetime is difficult enough.

Technically I'm an incoming sophomore, but oh well. I don't have a lot of experience, but I'm starting to look into internships and I'd appreciate if anyone could look over my resume and give me some advice :) Thank you!!

[First] Prev/ Next
I took a deep breath and let it out. Looking up at Elizabet, I said, “Kilik-ma was curious as to the entertainment on my world. Liss-ran was apparently telling him about the breakfast we shared before we left on the hunt. The music we played through my phone. He wanted to hear some, but I’d left it here with you.
“Well, I was feeling better than I had any right to, and well, I decided to…sing a song,”
“You’ve never sang for me before. What gives?” Elizabet asked, sounding hurt.
“You never asked, and I’ve always been rather self-conscious about my voice. I don’t think it’s very good, and I don’t like to advertise that I actually can sing. Maybe four people back on Earth knew that I could sing and actually carry a tune. Now? Now, all of Haruma will know.
“Getting back to the matter at hand, I decided to sing a song about the winter and its beauty. I slipped into something of a trance, lost in the music apparently. Just singing and well, watching the song come alive in a field. I didn’t even realize that I was singing in the Ancient Tongue until the song was over, and I nearly passed out and fell off of Lola.” I took her hands in mine, and looked her in the eye, worry plastered across my face. “Elizabet, I made it snow. And not just a little bit, either. If you travel two or three hours back in the direction we came, the snow is up to my knees,” I said.
“You made it snow?” Blainaut asked, bewildered.
“Yeah. And… and that’s not all,” I said.
“What else did you do, Ivor?” Elizabet asked in exasperation.
“I might have let loose a new species of bird. A line in the song speaks of a bluebird, a specific, small bird from my planet, and a whole flock of them burst from a tree where there were no birds before. They flew off to the south,” I said, my head hung low.
Elizabet and Blainaut just stared at me. As Blainaut opened his mouth to say something, a voice piped up from the entrance to the city.
“Hey! We have visitors! Four of them. They’re small,” he said.
A crow swooped in from….somewhere and landed on my shoulder. This was going to be interesting.
I whipped around to face the possible threat. What I saw instead, were four canine pups. Realization washed over me as I realized what these were.
“The Dire Wolf,” I said softly.
“What? Dire Wolf? What do you mean, Dire Wolf?” Blainaut asked.
“I killed a female at the beginning of the hunt. She’d been in my Pack the entire time. Until this morning, anyway. I laid her in the cart to make more room for other prey we had taken. She was nursing pups at the time. I was worried they’d die, but it seems they didn’t and have followed her scent,” I explained quietly. “Back away from the cart! Don’t run. Move deliberately, and you should be okay,” I called out.
The Haarthuu slowly backed away from the cart, and the four pups approached in his stead. They pawed at the corpse of their mother, whining. Though large, they couldn’t have been more than two or three months of age. An idea struck me.
I shrugged off my Pack, and reached in for a parcel of meat from the sentry. I quickly cut some chunks from it, and slowly approached the pups, sliding the Pack back onto my shoulders. They began to growl at me, but I tossed some meat their way, and they snatched it up, obviously starving. One was especially quick about it, snapping up two to the others’ one. I continued, Duplicating and tossing meat at them until they seemed full. They began to walk off, so I halted their movement with a Wall of Stone, causing a large semicircle to appear around them. I walked in behind them and closed it off, trapping us all together.
“Ivor, no!” Elizabet yelled after me.
They immediately turned on me, growling and snarling. I tossed more meat at them, causing them to back away and spread out. One took a piece of meat and trotted off, away from the rest. The other three stood away, their hackles raised.
I took a chance and sat on the ground. As a precaution, I raised a Dome of Force over me, to ward off any attack that may come. The crow fluttered off before I finished, perching on the stone wall. One of the pups took hesitant steps towards me, sniffing the air.
“That’s right,” I said in a soft, low tone. “Come on. I’m safe. I may have killed your mother, and I’m sorry for that, but it was either her or my friends. I’ll help take care of your four, if you’ll let me,” I continued.
I could see the fear in their movements, in the way they paced and whined looking up at the wall. I racked my brain, trying desperately to recall some spell I could use to help these four pups calm down.
The one that had taken the meat and left raised its head and howled a low, keening wail. It was joined in by the others, and tears flowed down my cheeks. I knew they were mourning their mother.
As I sat there, the necessary spell flowed into my mind like water. “Call of the Wild, words of the woods, let them Hear me, let me Hear them.” I murmured, willing the five of us to understand the other.
“I’m sorry, kids. I didn’t know she was your mother,” I said softly.
The four of them snapped to attention and regarded me with suspicion.
“The two-legged pink ones lie. Always,” came a voice from my left.
“The green ones are little better,” this time, from my right.
“Strides-in-shadows is gone, and we are Nameless. Your fault!” directly in front of me, this time. The pup there was growling fiercely, slowly advancing.
“I will keep you fed. I will help you form a new pack. I will keep you safe. I will atone for the death of Strides-in-shadows,” I said solemnly.
“Fed? A new pack? Safe?” the pup that began the howl snorted and rose. It slowly padded over to me, its head cocked to the side. “How can a pink two-leg care for Wolf-kind? We hunt. We kill. We are strong,” it said.
“You will likely die without a new pack. I can offer definite survival,” I said softly.
The pup was standing at the very edge of the Dome. “Can you truly? We have our doubts,” it said softly.
I took a deep breath, my heart hammering in my ears. Slowly, I began to stand. Reaching the limit of my Dome, I dispelled it, and stood there in front of four pups. I held my hands out to my sides, open wide.
“I stand here before you. Believe me, or don’t. The Haarthuu will treat you as their own people, and I can promise you will have the attention of my three sons, should you wish it. You” - I knelt in front of the one I took to be the leader- “will never want for companionship and family for as long as you live, if you take my offer,” I said, slowly extending my hand out to him.
“Brothers? Sister? Do we take the pink one at his word? Do we kill him and feast? Do we leave?” he asked.
Three growls were heard as they advanced on me. I lowered my head, expecting the worst. I knew I would likely survive an attack, but I wanted to show trust. I head a snuffling to my right, feeling a cold nose press against my hand. I opened my eyes and slowly raised my head, only to find a yellow eye glaring into my face.
“We will trust for now. The moment we are harmed, we will tear through your people, rending life from flesh,” the leader said.
“Very well. I shall name you four,” I said. The pups sat before me in a line. “You, I shall call Speaks-with-honor. You can expect to be called ‘Speaker’ more often than not,” I said to the apparent leader, the one who had taken the meat and wandered away from his siblings, and he perked up. Turning to the fast one, I said, “You are Stings-with-wind. ‘Stinger’ will be your short name.” She, too, perked up, sitting a bit taller. I faced the calmer, quieter of the three and said, “You are Autumn Breeze. Autumn will be your short name.” He perked up, leaving the angriest of the bunch, who was pacing back and forth, a low growl coming from him. I faced him and intoned, “You are Heart-of-fire. Fireheart will be your short name.” I took in the entirety of the pups, and spread my arms wide. “It is time to meet your new pack! Come,” I said.
I turned to where I was pretty sure the crowd was, and slowly lowered the walls. The crow flapped back to my shoulder and rubbed her beak against my beard. Elizabet, Thaddeus and Blainaut were the first faces I saw. I smiled.
“People of Haruma! There are four Dire Wolf pups behind me. Please don’t be afraid, as I think I’ve made a deal with them,” I said loudly. “Speaks-with-honor is the eldest of the four. After him is his sister, Stings-with-wind. Their brother Autumn Breeze is next, followed by the fierce Heart-of-fire.” Each pup stepped forward with the announcement of their name. “They will hopefully stay with us for the rest of their lives, and we will cherish and love them as family. As long as they are not harmed, we will all prosper,” I said, the walls finally receding into the ground.
The pups sat behind me, watching impassively as the Haarthuu looked worriedly between each other. My boys slowly walked up to me.
“Mr. Ivor? What are we going to do with them?” asked Ahte-tan.
The crow, that I was now certain had to be The Great Mother, hopped off my shoulder and revealed Herself to the crowd of Haarthuu, who all knelt in reverence. Even the Dire Wolf pups showed their belly and neck to her. It seemed all life on Chaia knew her as their Mother.
She knelt in front of the boy. “You are going to love them, cherish them, and treat them like family, My Child. That’s what you’re going to do with them. I hope you will bond with them. They aren’t pets. They are family members. Remember that,” She said, seeing his serious face nod.
“Heart-of-fire? This is Ivor’s oldest, Ahte-tan. I hope the two of you will get along. He will take care of you, Fireheart. Treat each other well,” She said to the wolf pup.
Fireheart walked over to Ahte-tan, and sat before him, staring him in the eye. “Now, remember, Child. Fireheart is proud, strong, and lives up to his name. Help him focus that flame, and I am certain he will be a stalwart companion,” She said.
“Ahte-naah? This is Stings-with-wind. She is fast; faster than you, even. Help each other direct yourselves in your journeys, and I’m certain you will find no better friend than Stinger,” The Great Mother said gently.
Stinger padded over and sniffed and snuffled Ahte-naah’s face, then pounced on him, licking him all over. Ahte-naah giggled and laughed, burying his face in the wolf’s soft fur.
Speaks-with-honor padded over to my youngest, and cocked his head. “Speaker, this is Ivor’s youngest, Ahte-ukum. He is kind, soft-spoken, and rather timid. Help him find his inner warrior; his inner dragon, and you will have a partner to rely on for the rest of your life,” The Great Mother told the eldest pup.
Speaker walked over and lay down at my youngest’s feet, and Ahte-ukum sat, gently petting the gray fur.
Autumn Breeze trotted up to the goddess, butting her gently with his head. “Liss-ran?” The young woman gasped and covered her mouth with her hands. “This is Autumn. He is quiet, calm and attentive. Of all the Haarthuu, only you are able to properly understand him, I think. As you spend time with him, I think you may come to know yourself even better. Care for him as you would your own flesh and blood, and he will never leave you,” The Mother of All commanded. Once she had finished she turned to me.
“I certainly didn’t expect this, Ivor. You may have just begun to turn the tide for this city of My Children. As long as they survive, those pups will be a fierce deterrent to any seeking to gain entry. I am glad to see that you continue to exceed my expectations, dearest. However, I must take my leave. Stay safe, Ivor,” She said, then planted a soft kiss on my cheek before fading.
The pups, now sitting beside their respective Person, began a new howl. This was not one of sorrow, but of the joy of finding a pack.

I remember coming across a sub where people would ask for help solving random questions. For example, finding a pan with a symbol on it and trying to figure out who the manufacturer was. That was made up by thats a reasonable example of what you find there. The only thing that comes to mind is this sub. Is this were people would ask such a thing?
But onto my real question in case this is the sub. I created a family tree back in 2009 but I cant remember the program that I used to make it. I have a file ending in ftl but do not know how to open it up and make edits. Anyone have any idea what program I originally used?

Hello everybody! I was looking for advice on shifting your dominance threshold, or the type of guy you’re attracted to.
I was reading the back to basics Relationship Dynamic posts, and definitely identified myself as a high dominance/high threshold woman. I’ve been working on myself to be more feminine which I think I’ve made very good progress on, based on feedback from friends/family, but I very much want a guy who’s more ‘dominant’ than I am (not to sound like one of the trashy romances I love, lol), more capable/confident/disciplined/etc.
I’m currently dating a guy who is absolutely wonderful to me. I hate to say it, but I’m not as drawn to him as compared to my ex, who was more “alpha” and definitely more toxic. In general, I’m attracted to the more alpha guys who clearly would not be good matches for me long term (strong physicality, confidence/arrogance, etc.). I want a guy who is kind and treats me well, my ultimate goal is to be mostly a stay at home mother with a partner who’s very devoted to our family.
I feel like I need some kind of way to adjust my tastes to what I actually want, if that makes sense? It’s like craving a donut even though you know it would make you feel sick, and an apple would be a better choice for you.
My relationship with my ex was fast, passionate, and not particularly healthy. My current relationship I would say is much lighter and calmer, and I think I’m slowly starting to develop feelings for him.
Does anybody have any advice for this? How to maybe adjust my threshold/tastes to better align with my current partner? I don’t want to make this super long, I talk more about him in my prior posts if anybody wants more context. I like him a lot and want to this to work, I just worry about my feelings not being as strong. Thank you all for your time!

My fiancé is best man in his older brother’s wedding this August. Venue is indoors but waterfront, dress code is semi-formal+
Fiancé is in a navy tux. I was thinking navy floral dress so we are matchy but I am open to complimentary colors. I’m not certain but it’s possible I will be in some of the family photos. I’m super self conscious of my new mom belly and already an apple shape. I wear a size xl/14/16 and I’m hoping to spend less than $200. If you’ve seen any navy floral dresses that camouflage mom belly for under $200 can you send them my way? I know this is a tall order but you are all so helpful 😅
Thanks in advance!
