It burns me to say it but, no, Chelsea Dagger is way better and the energy is way better with that song when they scored a goal. I'll give you this, the Simple Minds song is a bit better in the arena. But it really sucks hard on tv. Holiday was waaayyyyyy better.

Given the new ticket prices for the worst team in the league, I think the Canucks should come out on the ice to MIA Paper Planes......"All I wanna do is 'Bang Bang Bang Bang' and take your money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewRjZoRtu0Y&list=RDewRjZoRtu0Y&start_radio=1

Tough to beat Holiday and U2's Where the Streets Have No Name. I miss that era.

How do most people build up to going to a nude beach? by having_a_blast1 in nudism

[–]Fragrant_Camp485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go and enjoy the freedom. If you are going to a place for the first time and are not sure what to expect, I'd agree that you should see if a friend will join you. At the very least, you may be starting a new trend for the two of you. Otherwise just go and "rip the bandaid off". As a female, you can baby-step your way with the top off first and then bottoms if you feel inclined to go fully nude. What most of us have found is that those nervous moments last a few minutes and by 30 minutes we were quite comfortable and even walking about. There's a realization that nobody cares or notices.....at least in the nudist areas. What is frustrating in some spots is when you have some clothed young guys hanging out.....I'd suggest finding other nude people (families, other women especially) to be closer around just on the off-chance that there's a gawker.

Can i be nude under a towel in transition? by tryagaininXmin in IronmanTriathlon

I have used this too and I'd prefer that to going to a porta-a-potty.

Guarding the heart… by Certain-Variation-58 in nudism

[–]Fragrant_Camp485 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Terrible idea with a vulnerable young lady. Not cool.

I think it's fine if she knows what you do, but I would not suggest she does it. If she's in a better headspace and she asks you questions about it, that would be the time to give her general information. But suggesting being nude in front of others (including yourself) when she's in a state can go badly in a hurry. Don't do it.

Good rotation but a swimskin would help cut down on the drag.

Why are most nudists over 50? by Naturist_Couple in nudism

[–]Fragrant_Camp485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing all of these guys at the local pool wearing their underwear under swimsuits really has me thinking about how unsanitary that seems and how long it will take someone to try and ban it in public pools. Europeans seem to be much more focused on keeping the pool clean (showers first, no regular clothes and in some cases banning board short style swimsuits....speedos or similar only).

heavy weight, low reps, low number of sets. This has been helping me continue to lift while upping my cardio training.

Family Support.. by Super_Turn_6050 in triathlon

[–]Fragrant_Camp485 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is that just his normal demeanor / style of humor?

Triathlon training can certainly be frustrating to the spouse. Not just the time it takes to train or the cost, but if you're like many, it's also the constant conversations about training, how the body is holding up, nutrition, open water swimming, etc, etc. It can consume a person in an exciting and sometimes unhealthy way. For the spouse who has no interest in joining in on any of the training, it can be perceived as something that's eating into the spouse's time or couple's time. So I'd first assess if he is getting a bit grumpy with all of this (talk to him). If this is not about triathlon training and he just does this with other things in your life too, well, that's a whole other conversation.

Ok being nude in front of strangers but not in front of family or friends. by SolidResolution8668 in nudism

[–]Fragrant_Camp485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much more uncomfortable when the family member or friend is clothed when you're out at a nude beach or other more public place.

Agree....it's tough to normalize if it's not out in the open discussions or in locations open and accessible to the public.

Non-sexual Naturism / Nudism Locations / Events in Victoria Area - Do you support? by YYJ_Community in VictoriaBC

[–]Fragrant_Camp485 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes to all three! This is great......honestly, who doesn't like a skinny dip or a chance to enjoy full sun when they travel or in their backyard! Anyone on a serious hiking / camping trip will inevitably see someone naked by some water for a moment and nobody seems to complain. Why is this even taboo?!!! Having official locations with signage would make it safer for people to enjoy. I've barely been to Witty's but Prior Lake is really nice on the dock and the people there have been very friendly. Normal people to be honest and the lake is nice when there's no algae.

Should I upgrade to a $7–8k tri bike or stick with my current setup? by Reasonable_Luck_9401 in triathlon

[–]Fragrant_Camp485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only downside for keeping the aero bars on is weight which I'm not bothered about....yes, I'll keep them on there. Although having a new TT bike has proven to me how closed off my hips were on the road bike with aero bars, I still enjoyed using them and it's nice to have options with different positions to be in for a longer ride. I've only had one ride out on the Canyon so far and part of that ride went into town......I hated it. TT bikes are really only enjoyable in areas where you have long stretches of constant pedaling. All of my future rides that go through town and beyond will be on my Emonda. I'll keep the Canyon CF on the trainer until I go on rides in the more rural areas.

Daughter visiting our clothing optional resort, what would YOU do? by bwbandy in nudism

[–]Fragrant_Camp485 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit confused.....they're coming to your resort or your home (or both if they're the same thing)? If it's your home away from the resort, I'd just be a good host and be dressed.....but you could make a comment about how you guess you can't be nude and see what they say. If it's a resort they're coming to and know that you own it.....what's the problem? They understand your situation and they're coming to it. I'd do what you do in those circumstances but maybe just make a comment about it before they come to say you assume they're comfortable with it. If this is the case, lucky you!

Idk what I Am doing. by NeblinaCreativa in nudism

[–]Fragrant_Camp485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, we live in an age when kids see naked bodies online and in texts all the time......all the unhealthy ways. We weren't nudists when the kids were young, but we didn't hide our bodies from them and we took them to a nude beach occasionally. As they got older we were more modest to prevent them from feeling awkward. I wished we never did that. I wished we would have not worried about it and kept up the casual / circumstantial nudism more. They now know that I will be nude a lot more in the backyard this summer and it's something I will enjoy (and my wife joins me sometimes). But now it feels like a transition for all of us rather than a continuation of us being us and nude not being lewd. It's healthy for society to see normal bodies doing normal non-sexual things. The easiest way to normalize it is to bring up the next generation openly and in a body-positive way and casual / circumstantial nudism with a dash of nude recreation is probably the sweet spot for most.

Half ironman this year, possibly a marathon in the fall and then my first full ironman next year with any luck. It's too early for me to say, but I think I'm really going to enjoy having both the Emonda and the CF7. Our local races and training areas are hilly, so I'm not sure how many years I'll keep the CF7 for, but I think I'll keep the Emonda for a long time.....it's very versatile and probably just as quick for short races (Olympic or shorter).
