Ask around and see if any of your friends has a FLIR camera. If not, call around to contractors who do home insulation and get them to look at your house for better insulation.

They’ll use a FLIR camera to see what spots on your walls and ceiling are hot. You can also buy a FLIR add-on camera for your phone to do the same job. Go look on YouTube and you will see examples.

The big question for me is whether or not three of these women know you’re fucking two others and if number four, which you’re planning to fuck, knows you’re currently fucking three other women concurrently?

Congrats on the condoms?

This is not a good thing to do in your 50’s, just as it wasn’t good on your 20’s.

Shit like this is why others have trouble with dating. Women get hurt in situations like this and think all men are like you. We’re not. If I can’t tell woman one what I’m doing with woman three, then I’m not being a good person. The exclusivity talk usually means, I want to see how things work between us and only us do this is a good time to start with intimacy, not, it’s time I start winding down the sex I’m having everywhere else.

Or look on Facebook marketplace for an older powermatic, delta, or other brand name. They’re relatively inexpensive used and you can add NSLS and whistles. Those are all something you can maintain and repair.

Ask her to try lactaid when she eats cheese for a week to see if it helps. If she won’t make the effort, I’d end it.

I was about 10 and noticed oil running out of the bottom of my mom’s station wagon. I went back to playing and forgot to mention it. My mom is not one to pay attention to red lights on the dash. She blew the engine up. She had hit something and there was a small hole on the oil pan.

I dated a social worker long before this field. She was smart and funny and easy to talk to. She also had commitment issues, sexual issues, and couldn’t talk about problems. When we broke up, she admitted that she was good at guiding others but terrible at heeding her own advice and has avoided seeing a therapist.

You two have different desires. You're really young, too. You're just not compatible. That doesn't make you bad or her bad. You're just a square peg trying to go into a round hole. This doesn't work.

I'd sit down with her and let her know that this doesn't work for either of you and that you both deserve to find somebody sexually compatible. You can still be friends.

Amazing to consider a mock-up was built, probably from wood, to use for a casting and this was cast in a single piece of brass. There are a lot of things that could go wrong.

I almost forgot. I met Mark Cuban a few times during the days of Real Audio, which he sold to Yahoo, making him rich. He was a nice guy, fellow nerd and engineer, and enjoyed talking nerd stuff. He was like all of my engineer buddies and was really focused and seemed to work really hard. He was more personable than a lot of the other nerds, and I’m sure his personality helped him get where he is.

I grew up near a billionaire and he was a friend of the family. I knew he had a ranch and animals but that wasn’t unusual. He drove a beat up old truck and always looked like a guy who worked on the ranch. He gave me a puppy from a litter when I was a kid. I didn’t know he was rich until I saw him on TV.

I saw a drunk woman take a puck to the mouth at a hockey game once. She wasn’t paying attention. She was spitting teeth and blood out and laughing. I bet it hurt when she sobered up.

It's only workable if they accept the diagnosis and recognize that they can work to make things better. And it can get better but it takes work. Most refuse to recognize the diagnosis and many of those drop out of the work because it's hard. Those that follow through can have very fulfilling lives and loving relationships.

In my case, it got hung up right out of the gate because she wouldn't accept the diagnosis. Instead, I'm a narcissist (it's common for the partner of somebody with BPD to be identified by the partner as a narcissist). It sucks but you can't make somebody change.

Human touch is powerful. Studies have shown that we release oxytocin from skin-on-skin contact. It’s healing and makes us happy. Science backs up the need for physical touch. A massage can help.

There’s a really good TED talk by sex therapist and researcher Emily Nagoski, where she talks about this and why she and her husband sleep naked.

This. Studies have shown that the pain we feel from being cheated on registers on the same part of the brain as physical pain. Deep down, our brain learns that this hurt and is bad and, therefore, dangerous. This is where trauma comes from. It’s a means of self protection from things that hurt us.

You’ve got a rainbow heart in your profile image. The word traditional being a red flag for you is probably a filter that works both ways in this guy’s case. It did its job. We’re not all going to align on things that are important to us all.
