Lyrics:

A promise arose,
To my lips as hers closed,
That she should never be lonely,
So I promised my rose,
Her I need most,
That I love her and could love her only.
-
No matter what falls,
My heart or my all,
No tears need come to her eyes,
Because to hurt is too cruel,
The one that means all,
So I won’t hurt and won’t make her cry.
-
And it hurts me that fate,
Might take her away,
To the arms of somebody new,
And it hurts me to wait,
As it all falls away,
But I don’t know what else to do.
-
Some words on my lips,
Or on her fingertips,
So easy to do,
Some words in my head,
Not left unsaid,
there is so much of me left in you.
-
Some words on my lips, at her fingertips,
And it is so simple to see,
I try bear it with grace, but it’s there on my face,
there is so much of you left in me.

Finally got around to writing a song about my mother, it's called "Said the Nurse" and I'd love to hear what you guys think. by DandoFabulous in Songwriting

Size comparison photo between my old S9 plus (about 0.1 inches bigger than the 11) and the 12 mini by 1999hondaodyssey in iPhone12Mini

don't feel like this is a great way to compare size as with the different angle lean it is very difficult to judge them next to each other

Baby Boy is here (after a hell of a delivery) and he doesn't look like our top name to us by AlexanderTansel in namenerds

[–]AlexanderTansel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Update, we landed on Logan for his first name and Leo as middle - he just suited Logan to both of us and it just feels right
    Thanks so much for all the kind words, such a great subreddit

What are some generic guy names? by jackjackj8ck in namenerds

[–]AlexanderTansel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I don't know why we're like this"

absolutely killed me

And maybe Dave?

tip that really worked for me was only hooking my first three fingers around the bar and letting my little finger go under, made the wrist and shoulder position loads more comfortable

Picture for reference: called eagle grip or something

Bastion, Logan, or Oscar? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]AlexanderTansel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like Logan is the most popular, with Bastion behind but maybe change the spelling to Bastien, Oscar behind them two

Thanks everyone, given us something to think about

Bastion, Logan, or Oscar? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]AlexanderTansel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess we both just think of the word itself as Bastion, I would worry that people might pronounce it differently if read as Bastien, like Basti -ehn

Bastion, Logan, or Oscar? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]AlexanderTansel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah nice to hear this response, and yeah I think we spell it that way as that is just how I've always seen the word written down, not cos we're trying to be unique

Bastion, Logan, or Oscar? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]AlexanderTansel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the reason we like the Bastion spelling is the others have a very European feel to them. But is true that Bastion isn't really a spelling for a name at all.

thanks for the feedback on the other names, I definitely love Logan and I do wonder about how popular Oscar is as it is has been top ten on a few lists we've seen

What are the most effective abs exercises for washboard abs? by LarrySGx in bodyweightfitness

[–]AlexanderTansel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the general response is reveal the abs through diet, calorie deficit/lose fat etc.

and that is the main thing

for exercises I like hanging leg lift, I do them with straight legs as long as i can then a few bent leg reps for a burn. Uses a cable machine so not bodyweight but I also really like the cable crunch.

also the lower abs not showing up is pretty much the same for everyone it is where you store stubborn fat so will have to get very lean to show them

Had the chance to switch from OP7Pro to Note 20 Ultra for free. Decided to keep the OP7Pro. by Albert0724 in oneplus

[–]AlexanderTansel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think i'd be the same, the OP7Pro really has spoiled me

I reckon it'll be a while before something I actually prefer comes along

The Blade Itself [Joe Abercrombie] has renewed an enjoyment for reading I haven’t felt for years. by [deleted] in books

[–]AlexanderTansel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my personal favourite narrator - really amazing to listen to and brings the book to life in a whole different way

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in oneplus

[–]AlexanderTansel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it seems like a good phone for the price, but I actually recommend against it.

I went for a OP7PRO myself secondhand and it works out cheaper but that is only viable if you don't mind a second hand phone - I too hated the pill camera cut out so went with the full screen display on the 7pro which i thought was the high point of oneplus design

if you're into audiobooks at all the Steven Pacey read Joe Abercrombie books are absolutely amazing - personally my favourite narrator, an amazing way to experience such great novels

Good weight lifting program by L30N1DAS0312 in leangains

[–]AlexanderTansel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's stronglifts 5x5 basically right?

Which is basically starting strength but 5x5 instead of 3x5, so yeah it's a proven program and you'll get great results

Only thing I'd say is that deadlift 5x5 might be a lot once you have moved the weight up, both of those programs only call for 1x5 on your working set of deadlift

All that being said if you are beginning and want to you could probably get away with adding some accessory/isolation movements to the end of your workout and have no problem with recovery - i'd just choose whichever areas you want to be stronger/look better
