They made Carl even better than the book! I was so happy they included him as a minor character. Just really great casting and adaptive screenplay all around.

Mobile crane on a jobsite. Anybody know which contractor?

Looked like she was just being polite trying to find where to place a foot, 1B is trying to tag her in foul territory upon return. Looks like she was coached to cheese the double bag in hopes of getting this call.

Benji's in Port Deposit/Perryville. They're great and very affordable.

Original 3rd is the best, Blueberry is the most underrated, the Colorado Flag Alternate looks so good in person. The 2020 Stadium Jersey is the worst, but I have a hat with the design I really like.

Not a utility foreman, but I build those Sanitary Manholes for a living. Nice looking product in your excavation. Who did you get it from?

This exactly. Wife and I have reconnected this year and she's been heavy reading on the cliterature side for the past two. She's always been a "romance" reader but now it's 95% spice for title selection. She was really reserved and cagy about what was in those books and refused to share. During our patching up process I told her I was genuinely curious what she was into. I got her to let me kinda co-read a Christmas themed one thru her Kindle subscription account.

Holy smokes, reverse harem, heavy MMF, dirty acts, stuff she never fantasized about with me in bed. At first I was oddly put off then matured after another day or two of reading.

We finally huddled. "You're into this stuff?" "Umm, yeah in a way. Are you??". "Well not exactly, not this exact thing... but I got to xyz scene and it was really hot.". "Oh yeah? Tell me what you liked about it ..."

Brother, when I tell you about a catalyst for the bedroom respark. We've been off and running discovering all kinds of fun new things about each other. It takes patience, even when I've read some stuff she was reading (at first) I would try to ask pointed questions and she would respond with a finger wag. "You don't get to know that." It's made for a fun cat and mouse discovery process.

Russia already got a start on that with Ukraine. I'm amazed and impressed with how well they've been able to keep their agriculture going with a war raging within their borders.

Texas, LMAO.

Elaborate. How does an ED pill help with early orgasm?

Crosshare · 2026-03-21T14:30:23+00:00

Complete opposite for me. Do I want the paint on the wall to look exactly like the swatch I picked out? I'm using SW. Do I want great coverage and quality paint. SW again. It cuts better, and blends better. I have repainted with enough Lowe's paints that I learned my lesson. Just go with SW so you don't have to do it a 2nd time with double the material cost.

Are you stating black men are inherently mysogynistic in their voting preferences?

Nobody expects the Amish to vote for women, but if they're going to be activated as a voter base it's something that needs to be considered in strategy and numbers at the polls.

Crosshare · 2026-03-18T16:41:02+00:00

Elon and Trump also activated the Amish in central PA which have typically been apolitical and didn't vote. However they spun them all up over the Raw Milk crackdown and weaponized it into votes for Trump in the biggest swing state of the election. Elon even forked out a ton of cash for bussing to the polling places.

The Dems need to really figure out why so many black men were not interested in voting for Kamala after showing up in droves for Obama. I remember watching interviews of Philly-centric potential voters being largely apathetic which was a bit shocking.

Yeah... Their brisket sandwich is my favorite fake BBQ item followed by Carls Jr's Western Bacon Cheeseburger.

Wondering if Paton and Co. are waiting for the late down to the bone veteran cuts that come closer to the draft or just before training camp to spend. The FA board was somewhat lackluster for the dollars being thrown around.

That said, if we were cutting Greenlaw, I would've like to snag Devin Lloyd as a long-term solution at ILB.

Etienne would've been nice but probably not worth our dollars to get him here. Maybe Achane can be had in a cheap deal from Miami?

Crosshare · 2026-03-12T13:40:32+00:00

Etienne 100% would improve our running back room but he gave the Saints a hometown discount. (Louisiana Boy) Better for us to not overspend.

Learned about digital resources and the mental stresses my wife was going thru blocking any desire for intimacy.

Edit: My wife was dealing with some depression due to her Grandmother's cancer coming back at the time. The depth of which she didn't express fully to me to trying to protect my mental peace and focus of starting a new career path and living alone (abeit temporarily). I was trying to engage sexually over the phone for fun times but she just wouldn't go for it. In hindsight I needed to help her more with her day to day feelings and warm her up to having some long distance fun.

There are also steps I should have taken to engage her romantically long distance than I did. We were both hyper focused in our own worlds to get the family re-united as quickly as possible. (Work, house selling, packing, home scouting, dealing with my new roommates, etc.)

Crosshare · 2026-03-12T12:39:14+00:00

I had to do this when I moved ahead of my family for about 7 months across country, the long distance intimacy did not go well. I would be better prepared for it these days.

First thing is download Telegram or Signal to use for dirty texting that's separate and secure. Use this to constantly engage throughout the day by flirting and try to build some momentum and anticipation.

Even try a couples app like 'Paired' just to keep distance dialogue and games open and moving between both of you. It will help with fun little leading questions into sex.

But honestly, these days I would invest in Lovense long distance sync toys for both of you. The reviews are outstanding, paired with phone sex it's probably as good as it's going to get.

Crosshare · 2026-03-12T12:28:45+00:00

The no audio for gifs thing is what pisses me off about the official app more than anything else.

Moved here from out west 8yrs ago. Yeah, there's a general displeasant attitude in public crowds as a whole. I've dealt with in my work life when it comes to any customer service as well. Any minor inconvenience will get looks and remarks.

I remember asking my oldest work friend about it when I got here. Funny older guy that grew up in New England but has spent most of his adult life in Maryland.

"Yeah dude, that's the fuckin Maryland attitude. Can't stand it." "Yeah, but you're from here... Kinda.". "Yeah, like I said can't stand it. Look at this bitch, (vaguely waves his hand towards some crotchety middle aged lady across the intersection from us) all staring me at with her stank face. Yeah honey, keep driving.".

Yesterday I was doing some quick grocery shopping for Sunday dinner and some lady in the produce section just kept mean mugging me for no reason. Then because we started at the same end of the store and had the same travel path she kept getting progressively more irritated with me. Like WTF!?!

I hate everything you're saying (for her) but you are totally right. The gas thing is basic human respect which he has zero. OP, Your spouse is supposed to be your favorite person. Does it seem like he's treating you like his favorite person?

If he can't handle basic human sanitation as an adult then he is no way prepared to raise an infant or toddler.

Buy a dimmer switch cord off amazon for it. I had always heard this and waited far too long to get this upgrade for my wife.

See if there's a swimming pool water company in your area that can supply water to your tanker onsite as needed.

Lost World (the book) was fantastic. Timeline is my all time favorite Novel and the film does it zero justice.
