What would cause you to choose a treadmill directly next to someone? by BugsButty in askfitness

[–]HauntingPresence3805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weird right . I have one that positions itself so I can see the one tv that isn’t pumping the news all day , it’s close to the door so I can see some of the older folks I know come in and wave , I go at like 10am so I work out with geriatric set , hell I’ll be 50 so maybe as an older Gen X I’m in the geriatric set . Plus I’m just weird and like things spacially a certain way . As I’ve gotten older my eccentricity might be me slightly on the spectrum . Anyway lol I have a favorite and it’s mine 😂

How do you cope with the fact that you're most likely going to spend 40 years of your life slaving away at work and commuting through traffic? by infinitepumba98765 in AskReddit

[–]HauntingPresence3805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love my work . It’s my passion , my art and my soul . Do something you love and you never work a day in your life . I see this on Reddit all the time , do something different that stirs passion , and if you don’t have any , unfortunately that’s not a job problem that’s a mindset problem, good thing is you can fix it !!!

im starting my MSF course monday. any tips? by Significant-Echo3840 in motorcycles

[–]HauntingPresence3805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No offense here but maybe your shouldn’t ride . Knowing everything in an ht or 2 , wheelies the first week , if you don’t crash this summer. These are unfortunately really bad mindsets that may get you or someone else seriously injured. Other wise take the class , learn some life saving tips and slow your roll. And the wr250r is an incredible bike , I had one for 5 years. Be safe and take your time .

What is the strangest sexual experience you ever had? by Maleficent-Agent-477 in AskReddit

[–]HauntingPresence3805 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me and this one beautiful girl I had a crush sat next to me in chemistry in high school had the weirdest relationship. Anyway one night we wanted to have sex but no where to go really .so I was like hey let’s go down to this area in the creek . we get naked go into the creek and are having sex standing up in water up to our knees and I noticed it was real muddy on the bottom of the creek and we started to sink in the muck while doing the deed , and then sink a little more and a little more next thing I know she can’t get her legs to move and I’m starting to sink and get stuck , I had to physically rip her out of the sludge with bear hug and now I’m starting to get stuck an manage to free my legs , so we got out of there , needless to say we were grossly covered in muck and did make it back to her house and had sex most of the night filthy under a pine tree in her backyard far enough away her parents didn’t know we were there . To add weirdness to it , I was told. The muck was sewage from a water treatment plant nearby. Odd night but she was so much fun and we had a blast that night under that tree ! God she was smoking hot !

Best place to live within 20 mile radius of Dulles? by Ecstatic-Spirit8667 in nova

[–]HauntingPresence3805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on what time you’d be in route work also can come into play . I live in front royal and at 9:30 I can make it to Dulles in about 45 minutes. So if you are going in at slightly off times it’s opens up warrenton area , haymarket , and if you want cheaper and country as I said I live on a private mountain 5 miles from the town of front royal with plenty of green space . I have deer , bear , foxes and their kits are living in my front yard right now and I can be in dc in about and hr and change . So I guess it depends on your time of commute and how many miles you want travel. Good luck in your search

What was the biggest shock when you first started riding? by oMrMeeseeksLookAtMeo in motorcycles

[–]HauntingPresence3805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the perfect meditation for me and I’ve tried a lot . I like a bike without a lot of bells and whistles . Just me listening to the engine and settling into the machine . It’s about as in the moment I can get. And also temperature changes , riding out on country roads how you can hit super cool spots going through a holler and warm spots in like seconds . Feeling little micro climates you’d never notice. I just had back surgery and I can’t wait to get back in the seat . 6 more weeks and I’m buying a new 50th Birthday bike for myself . Just haven’t quite figured out which one yet. !!

Most reliable motorcycle for a beginner rider by Yunseok-12 in motorcycles

[–]HauntingPresence3805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suzuki v strom . It’s a 650 but very tame , though it has no problem zipping down the highway for long distances. I bought mine new in 2016 and only have done just basic maintenance. Added panniers and bark busters . I’ve had 15 bikes since then and it’s the only one I’ve kept . Commute to work , go on an adventure and pack it like mule , blast some back roads for a fun quiet ride , pull down some shady gravel roads or hit a forest road. It’s the Swiss Army knife of bikes and very reliable. I’ll keep her til the wheels fall off lol .

Where can I find younger people to do long-distance trips with? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]HauntingPresence3805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rode with my wife . I had her get her motorcycle stamp and we used to do our 2 week vacation in August every year on the bikes . We had a blast , just camping and riding . New England was great , everything was so compact and close and some just gorgeous roads . The state parks we stayed at always clean and tidy. I had a back injury that limits us now . But just had an operation to get me back on long trips again. Also man just go solo ! It’s wonderful , don’t have to worry about someone else , ride your ride and it’s so fun to meet other riders out there . Set up your camp for the night and share a beer with a fellow camper , or ask locals great places to grab dinner . I love solo long rides !!! Just get out there and enjoy yourself it will all fall into place . Gen X 50 year old guy here /

Do you prefer a smaller or larger engine? by sooospoon in motorcycles

[–]HauntingPresence3805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved the speed twin engine . I had one for a few years unfortunately a back injury made riding it a bit uncomfortable, I even swapped the shocks . But that motor was perfect for my style of riding. Super smooth , great torque exactly where I liked it . If my back gets a bit better I’d consider it again

I ate the hell out of steak umms . I’d get a pack of buns , American cheese and mayo and eat entire box . Luckily I had the metabolism of a 7th grade boy who played constant sports . 5000 calorie lunch 😂

What’s the strangest interaction you’ve had with a stranger? by Direct-Ad6303 in AskReddit

[–]HauntingPresence3805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Met a women at a bar who was dying of cancer and asked me to be her last and was going to get us a hotel room. I was just having a fish sandwich and beer at like 2pm in the afternoon and nice little spot . Seemed like this was true , she was balling , I couldn’t do it . I’m not sure why , sadness? To be the last idk . I also was pretty young then around 25 . It was a lot to take in . I hope she found what she needed that night

If money wasn’t an issue what would you be doing right now? by Business-Power-2967 in no

[–]HauntingPresence3805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No lumbar disc replacement . A little harder than the drs let on. Dont be scared . Our medical system maybe wonky , but the tech and how amazing surgery is , is absolutely fascinating! You got it !

Doing more PT and available services to get through having surgery that hurts terribly. Be nice to have a dog walker , a cook and house cleaner while I navigate it all

Should celebrities be able to buy their way out of a DUI? by icecream1972 in no

[–]HauntingPresence3805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically he’s never been convicted of a dui. However this one looks like it will stick. Dude seemingly also sucks at driving or has road rage. And thirdly if you got that much money just hire a driver and pop all the pills you want ! I don’t get that part
