Reply to Never shot a gun, want to learn (38m) by _smojface

First I read that as .38, which I personally find too much of hand cannon to hit anything with, then I reread it.

I actually need a place to shoot myself, so I'm checking this thread. General good advice is to keep your guns squeaky clean and practice frequently. For safety gear, there are people that make custom ear plugs, but the muffs aren't bad either.

Good luck! And remember, squeeze trigger.

Reply to Not sure if this is the best place for this, but how do you get through a book that is emotionally difficult for you? Potential spoiling of The Bell Jar. by IDoBeVibing745

Yeah, I just stop. There's a difference between "difficult but I'm enjoying it" and "this is making me feel like crap and putting me in a terrible head space".

Try it again later. But there's nothing wrong with reading "pop corn" when you need a break. Jerry Spinelli writes lovely YA. Pratchett is wonderful nonsense. The Simon Snow series is nice and fluffy too.
