Yeah, me too. She never felt comfortable around him and she trusted her instincts, so I reminded her of that and that she did well to not fall for his lies. 

Good for her.

No, but he tried to date her friend. He got put on the sex offenders register when he was 18 as he'd had a very young girlfriend (13 years old) and when she "broke up" with him he put some revenge porn of her on social media. When the police investigated they found category 3 images on his PC (that's the category of the most extreme child abuse images in the UK). So he's been using a false name at university as it was reported in the media at the time.

You gotta watch out for ticks. 

Trophie is from the Lyme disease capital of the world...

Her city was named after the disease. 

Lymefield Connecticut.

We got lucky earlier this year when my 5 year old came down with Rocky Mountain Spotted fever due to a tick bite. She started feeling ill with a head/body aches with rashes so we called the pediatrician who saw her that day. He luckily saw the signs and gave her a powerful antibiotic to kill it quickly. The next hurdle was to actually get the medicine which was going to be over $100 with insurance, luckily the pharmacist was our neighbor at the rental house. So she was able to give us cheaper ($60) liquid version of the medicine than the pill form. She ended up being ok with everything. We love our pediatrician because he is awesome with the kids not to mention he has students come in from Campbell University to do their rounds. I know he spent dang near 30-45 minutes with my daughter with a medical student letting him see the symptoms of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever because he said "I am showing you this because I can guarantee that you will see it in your test and this is endemic to the SE".

Congratulations. I would love that land, sadly I need to fix this house up before I sell it.  We need to go bigger though we are already too small for the family size. 

Yeah we love it honestly... My wife wanted a smaller house because she felt like she was cleaning ALL the time in the older but bigger house, and we wanted someplace outside of a HOA/Covenant. There is a house on the next road over that is a bigger house but on 10 acres and looks really nice.
