Reddit mentions: The best sports fan souvenirs

holy shit I'm so sorry that he did those things to you. he sounds like a super garbage human.

I'm gonna list some stuff out, feel free to take or leave any advice.

So. I'm a big fan of therapy as a way of dealing with trauma. but if that's not your thing you can try journaling about this incident or finding a support group. If you need help immediately then call the sexual assault hotline number at 1-800-656-4673. If you're more of an internet chat person than there's a chat option here. Some sexual assault survivors find self defense classes very therapeutic so they can prevent themselves and others from being assaulted while also getting some tension out.

I'm not sure what your living situation is like but if you have neighbors that you feel comfortable with then I would recommend making some connections there. That way there's someone who knows you and your patterns/schedule so they can keep an eye out for suspicious activity. My neighbor and I let each other know when we're leaving for the weekend. Another option would be to share your location with a family member or close friend and be honest about why.

If you want extra security for your home these are cheap and reliable ways to prevent doors from being forced open., and of course I'm a big fan of blinds/ curtains. Depending on the laws in your state, consider getting pepper spray, or a small weapon. As far as internet profiles go make sure all of them are set to private, where you can't view posts or anything related without being a follower. Avoid posting things about your new town for awhile, until you can be sure he's not trying to find you.

I'm so sorry that you might have to adopt some new habits just to avoid someone who did something so heinous. I hope that at least one thing helped you in this list, or that someone else can help you. Reach out if you need anything else!

I am lucky to have a very talented gunsmith friend that loves to go along with my ideas so it was easy to be picky and specific about the design and still have it come out right. Its heavily inspired by the Navy Football helmets which is so clean, tasteful, and ties 1911/2011 into the theme.

Riddle the First: Wine
I’ve heard tell that wine can be paired with fruit and cheese. Because I’m a classy lady I would have no trouble substituting traditional cheese for some White Cheddar Cheez-its:

Riddle the Second: Broom
Do you know how dusty White Cheddar Cheez-its are? Of course I need a broom to keep my side of the dormitory clean!

Riddle the Third: Hat
What “classy lady” wouldn’t want a miniature top hat headband fascinator? I just hope its not too distracting to the other students…

Riddle the Fourth: Book
I chose a muggle book of fiction I’ve wanted to read for a while now, The Windup Girl, by Paolo Bacigalupi. I’ll give you a prize if you can say “Bacigalupi” three times fast…
http://www.amazon.com/dp/1597801585/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3OX0211BFWC4U&coliid=I3IYSDZAX1N183

Riddle the Fifth: Trunk
Cards Against Humanity would be stowed away in my trunk. What better way to learn about all my new housemates after sorting is complete?

For Bonus Points: Cape
I need variety! Why wear the same boring old cape day after day if I don’t have to? With Dancing Colors Scarves I could have a different colored cape, or a cape of many colors, anytime I pleased!

Fun stuff indeed! I have lots of new things too... I moved to a new city with a new car and a new job, it's all going wonderful right now. Also, I'm starting a fiction novel, started taking classes at a local gym, am meeting SO Many new people, blah blah could continue forever really. I hope you enjoy your new job and car like I am so far!

So I went looking for it, and I found an option. It's not a star, but it's the closest thing I could find.

This is a mini-helmet, but one of the reviewers said it made a good tree topper:

Best of luck in your search.

A half circle cloak is fairly easy to make yourself. I've followed this guide a few times and found it fairly easy to do, though it wastes a fair bit of fabric.

The easy way to do it is to make a sagum, a type of Roman cloak that is just a rectangle. u/notduddeman suggested buying an army surplus blanket and that's probably a good way to go. If you are going to go for the rectangular style, I recommend buying either a penannular brooch such as this one on Amazon.

The Packers just had an awesome comeback game! They're going to have a great season! This looks very nice for showing team pride.

I got the Barcelona one from the same Seller. It's a pretty great quality for the price actually. Hope that helps.

The EFX one is pretty good (here's it at Amazon.com), but I think the best value is easily The Black Series stormtrooper helmet, which is being released on Force Friday (September 30). It's even based on the stormtrooper helmets from Rogue One (check out this comparison by "spacebob" on the RPF), and you can already pre-order it from a few places (example). The only problems I can see with it are that the lenses look a little too transparent and Hasbro might find a way to make another surprisingly-terrible voice changer feature.

For Devastation of Indines, I use an UltraPro 25ct 2-piece plastic card box for each character. That side will fit all of the cards as well as that character's tokens/counters/standees. My LGS had them for $0.50 a piece. A few of the more component-heavy characters may require 50ct boxes, but for the most part the 25ct boxes do the trick. It's wonderful being able to just grab a box and have all of that character's stuff good to go.

Like most have said, situational awareness and avoidance tactics should be foremost. But if you do wish to carry some sort of force multiplier in case of trouble, there are legal options. I carry this flashlight, which is not only blindingly bright but also makes a fine kabuton (worth every penny, I might add). There are also self-defense products like this which are legal in most places. Even a roll of quarters can make a nice fistload. Thing is, you need to learn to use the tools/weapons you choose, carrying them is not enough. Training is essential, so consider looking into some practical martial arts or defense classes.

I have two keychain bottle openers, one is awesome and one is not terrible.

One is the skeleton key design and one I can't find a picture of. It's a circle that flattens in some to give it two flat sides (kind of like this without the tabs and centered) and the other side is a screw cap opener. It's the best bottle opener I've used. I look for my keys to use that one over any other and it's really thick metal.

The key isn't great, it's too narrow, it requires you to flip the bottle and use it twice.

I'm not what one would call 'artistic' so putting one together myself would come out looking like it was done in arts & crafts time at a special ed school. Do you know someone that would commission one? I find it's much easier to pay people that know what they're doing than dicking it up myself and feeling shame

Edit: Is something like this decent? or are there better ones? http://www.amazon.com/EFX-Star-Stormtrooper-Helmet-Replica/dp/B005J35PG2

Wow, that's neat. However, it led me to this. What a painful device to use! I can't imagine that being good as a knuckle, it seems like it would break your fingers!

Could well be the cold. I've heard of a few people who complain about their phone shutting off in the cold. Do you wear it in a sleeve or in a pocket? My suggestion would be a thin sleeve type holder that keeps it as close to your skin as possible, allowing your body heat to keep its temp normal and one that allows you to wear it under a jacket, protecting it from the elements a little more.

I use one of these and have never had any problem running in temps between -9C and 30C+.

The trick is getting your phone in the thing to start with. I've learned to use the delay start timer feature on MapMyRun and I don't listen to music but if I did I could easily snake the headphone cable in the top.

Hope this helps :)

You could get a couple of the following:

• Pink notre dame keychain
  
  
• Pink Notre dame lanyard
  
  
• Cute and fuzzy hand warmers
  
  
• Nice, warm throw for watching movies:
  

1. Pink and purple fleece
   
2. Hot Pink Plush throw

https://www.amazon.com/Bicycle-Stargazer-Poker-Standard-Playing/dp/B01MYHEKAR/ these look pretty awesome.

If you know his favorite football team you could get him a lego helmet .

This inflatable football target also seems cool.

I would say you couldn’t go wrong with any football themed game. Also a nice pair of earbuds or cool colored headphones are not a bad idea.

I got a Megaman Replica Mini Helmet at New York Comic Con 2015.

Looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/Megaman-Mini-Helmet-Replica-Rush/dp/B00X4074PM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1451426191&sr=8-2&keywords=megaman+mini+helmet

Although the price is pretty bogus. It's typical lootcrate $9 swag...pretty cool in my opinion

Here ya go man, 300 cards worth of packs, and i even pulled a few Mario Lemieux's!! All joking aside, this is just as fun and is a lottt cheaper :D http://www.amazon.com/Unopened-Collection-Factory-Vintage--famers/dp/B009SU0MGK/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1417735981&sr=8-7&keywords=hockey+cards

My mom raised me to always wear my bitch-face, from a very young age telling me all sorts of horrid things people might try and do. And the walk, I have the walk as well, I'm very able to carry myself in a confident 'not-to-be-fucked-with' sort of way.

I carry two small self-defense weapons. For my keys, I have a Black Cat. For my pocket I have the ComTech Stinger which I'm most comfortable carrying. While self-defense classes can obviously only help you here, the Comtech Stinger concentrates your punch into a 1/4" sq. in., multiplying your force by x40. It's small so if you can land just one solid hit they're not gonna know what hit them, just gonna know they don't want to fuck around with you anymore.

Decoy phone is a good idea, I never thought of that. Even just a cheap prepaid phone that can be used in an emergency but is otherwise not worth much.

There are also keychain add ons like this that don't even look like weapons (and this just became legal in Texas):
https://www.selfdefenseproducts.com/wild-kat-keychains/

And then I found this while browsing Amazon, which would be even better than keys:
EIOU Self-Defence Key Chain Aluminum Anti-Wolf Defense Keychain, Ladies's Aviation Rings- 5 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753F8DMP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_3hMDDbV6KG37V
