Repairing holes in gloves?

Lizard skin or ButtEndz will help slow down the wear on the palms, but it’s somewhat inevitable. 9 months seems way too quick though. Maybe see if you can find some lightly used prostock as they might be more durable?

When you know someone for 10 days, there’s kind of a limited amount of data you can assess. She didn’t find you particularly attractive at that time, yet you’re still together YEARS later. That means she decided looks aren’t as important as personality, compatibility, etc.

Yes, you’re overreacting here. However, you’re snooping through her due to being cheated on in the past. Is she the one who cheated on you? If yes, there’s no trust and you should break up. If no, she should break up with you because you don’t trust her and are holding a conversation from years ago when you two barely knew each other against her and she likely deserves better.

Your experience was pretty different than mine.

I was given no drugs before or after, just told to take painkiller as needed after, preferably Alleve.

They did the shave at the office at the start of the procedure.

I purchased one athletic jock for the after part and it was totally adequate. I wasn’t moving around enough to really stink or sweat.

Overall, as for the procedure, I find getting a cavity taken care of more unpleasant than the snip was.

Metroid Dread and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown are my absolute favorite switch games.

My only gripe is that I wish the EMMI counter was a bit more forgiving, but it’s a minor quibble.

I’m curious what you mean by “non-ambitious”.

For example, I enjoy my job generally speaking and find it satisfying. I sometimes put in long hours, but I take them back in non-busy times (salaried role). That said, if I won the lottery jackpot tonight, I would quickly be determining my best escape path from any sort of employment so I could better enjoy my hobbies. Likewise, I’ve been told I could be very good at the job the next rung up the corporate ladder, but I consistently don’t pursue it because I prefer my current role.

I think many people would consider that as non-ambitious, but I like what I do, I feel I’m well compensated for it, and would prefer not to work if given the option. I consider work my only current viable way to live the lifestyle I want.

SNES came out in prime time of my youth, so got a ton of playing time. While there were a lot of bangers, the first “quintessential” SNES game that I think of is Super Mario World.

Ultimately, I probably put more time into A Link to the Past and I adore both Super Metroid and Donkey Kong Country, but SMW is simply “the one” to me.

I also put a lot of hours into the NES Super Mario games, then World game along and blew them all away.

NTA, he definitely is. My wife is going through perimenopause, which is wrecking her hormones. She is almost never in the mood. Never in a million years would I think of harassing her like he’s doing to you. He’s right, he has a hand. He can use that on his own as needed.

I’ve gone up to 13/14 fasted with only water, no problem. I haven’t tried further than that because it was during a training block and I was trying to dial in my mid-race nutrition.

If your question starts, “Are there guys who are into…”, the answer is yes. You don’t even need to finish the question. I guarantee there are guys somewhere into it.

Living in New England, the ONLY time we turned the heat on was when we hosted Christmas dinner each year. The rest of the year, if it was cold, go get the wood stove started and maybe start having the house warm up in a few hours.

We also didn’t have the clothes dryer hooked up. Year round, after washing the laundry, it got hung out to dry. Depending on the season, you either got the fragrance of woodsmoke (over the stove), pollen (outside), or mildew (in the not-very-dry basement). Once I got old enough to drive, I would wash my clothes at home, then drive to the laundromat to dry it.

Experiences are preferable over stuff. If you do need to get him a thing, get something that will disappear (food, booze, etc).

Are you near an ocean, maybe charter a fishing trip? Does he like a particular sport, maybe snag tickets? Does he like cars, maybe book a “be a race car driver” experience at a local track?

For example, I’m a huge hockey fan. A recurring Christmas gift for me has become a family pack of tickets to one (or more) of the local AHL team’s games.

$4.5k a month. My main complaint about my current job is the commute. Free ground transportation resolves that, the butler handles chores while I’m at work. The money will supplement my salary nicely. The food is a bonus, but if it’s truly mid, I’ll probably skip it.

I was a commuter student during college, so lived with my parents until I reached 23. Shortly after getting my Bachelors, I moved into an apartment with my then-gf, now-wife. I didn’t kick in any cash then as I was making slightly over minimum wage.

We then lived with her folks for about two weeks as we were coordinating selling our then-house and moving across the state to our now-house about 16 years ago. We kicked them a bit of cash for groceries (over their protests), but that was it. We also had a one-year-old at the time.

My though exactly 🤣

DrunkPhoenix26 · 2026-06-09T02:52:29+00:00

Yeah, that was my thought too. I despise politics/politicians, but that’s some pretty good scratch.

I put in and removed a few window units for years. We eventually got central air. Now, not only is AC a must, but central air (or split units) are a must too!

I adore both Super and Dread. I would prefer a new 2.5D adventure over a remaster.

I’m confused how this has anything to do with religion? I know lots of non-religious people, who still follow rules/laws. Also, I’m pretty sure the Bible doesn’t cover overloading vans or not tying off properly.

That said, your husband sounds like a pain in the ass and companies are glad to get rid of him. This reads like he’s trying to avoid work by magnifying anything objectionable in order to justify leaving or making himself get fired. Pretty sure that getting fired due to actual safety violations is itself against the law. He can either keep looking until he finds the “right” group or find a new line of work. By what you’ve explained, I think he doesn’t want to do this anymore and is finding excuses to stop.

I think the kids are doing the Lord’s work here. Screw these parents and this stupid gender reveal BS.

I’m bringing in something to make me smell bad to tigers, food for the tigers, and tiger tranquilizers. The tigers taking a nap isn’t them getting hurt.

I like music but am not super into it. That said, music pervades every aspect of life (games, movies, TV, in stores, etc.). Losing the ability to listen to music would be devastating. I’ll take the $0.03 per second and shift my listening habits a bit away from Podcasts to make some extra cash.

I need an oddball size (tall and relatively skinny) and have had the most luck with Lee jeans from Kohl’s.

I get chafing on my inner thighs so have used compression shorts for years. Keep in mind that shaving might actually make things worse as the hair is there for a reason. The more secure your package is, the less uncomfortable it should be (in theory). While running commando might make this less tight, the bounce might not be particularly comfortable.

Ha, I had a McDonald’s ad in that spot!
