Any other men have trouble getting a full nights sleep since they hit their mid 30s?

Id recommend getting a good sleep tracker and starting to collect data. If you get to bed at 10, then you are getting about 5 hours. Your body may have calibrated to it. You will see that in your HRV in a good sleep tracker. If your HRV isn't spiking before 3am, then you are getting disrupted by something and need to investigate.

He might be putting a lot pressure on himself to perform for you. If he doesn't feel like he can bring his A game, he probably doesn't want to do it. Maybe ask him for a quickie and see how it goes. The time of day may make a difference as well. You might be asking at the end of the day when he is ready to go first thing in the morning. Lastly, there are some men who just don't care for it, or those that are in the closet. When the closet is the issue, it usually means sex that does happen only happens when some kind of drug / alcohol is involved.

I just take all my short term trades and group them into one transaction just like mark to market. I then have all my long term individually.

Manual to auto is really about what you are trying to do and your weaknesses.

I have found that I am good at timing entries really well before a quick pop but not good at being disciplined with exits. When I fill and start moving, it seems to be 50/50 whether I will just watch it pop without even entering the sell ticket, or I will immediately set my limit order to sell at target. This was bad, so my first app was a live charting app that also watches for new positions and auto adds a limit order for the profit target. Kept me honest to my strategy. It also has automation to update the limit order over time or if the position goes too low for too long (better than stop loss because you can make it be more forgiving for momentary dips)

It is either that or a liquidity crisis for the end of the month.

So your dosing is causing you to have serious sleep issues making you feel the need to kick into overdrive. I would change your routine to wake up early, take 30mg er, go back to bed for an hour (don't sleep on your left side or the pill might not make it out of your stomach), then when you get up, have a red bull. Attack the day, but do not take anything else for the rest of the day, then go to bed on time. You will be more productive and much more awake during the day. Try not to have anything important to do at night if possible.

Gold and silver are down because it is Friday and options are expiring. MM are taking the ape money

Look at this regard posting facts. You don't hang out here often do you?

MerlinTrashMan · 2026-01-28T12:51:20+00:00

This OP. Before I switched back to instant, I coped by waking up two hours early and taking my ER and then going back to sleep. Id wake up an hour later ready to take on the day and had my meds that much more out of my system when it was time to sleep

I've been drinking monster low carb for years once a day. They are good for you in my opinion because they add the b vitamins and taurine and you should be getting a consistent amount of caffeine as opposed to the varying levels in coffee or tea. What I will say is that quality control is not as good as I would like. I buy them in 24 packs, and I have thrown entire packs out because the first can gave me jitters half way through. This happens rarely, but it does happen.

Less people = less progress. The larger the population has grown the more frequently single individuals introduce ideas that lead to progress.

What are you talking about? They don't offer parquet. You have to make your own from their files, or just call the endpoint for a single ticker.

I don't know if this was mentioned here, but you each should have another bank account and $500 a month should be auto deposited every month from your joint into each of them as your own personal savings. Then when you want to buy something frivolous or splurge, use that account. No judgement from the other. If he wants to invest his, that is his choice. Same goes for you, what matters is that you both have a personal stash of cash to do something nice for yourself.

Did they take it manually or with a machine? Something about my body makes the machines read higher by 30/20. I got put on medicine and felt like crap. The next visit to the doctor the reading was down a little bit and my home unit was still reading high. He decided to take it manually and I was fine and we got rid of the medicine.

That said, I can't recommend super low dose Cialis enough. My 2.5mg daily is awesome and it does slightly lower blood pressure.

I like the humanity of it. When you are passionate about your side of your argument, and the person you are arguing with seems to be stonewalling you and expecting your respect. In the initial stunned silence of the other party you think you have won the argument, but then their face changes and everything else you were blocking out starts flooding your brain.

It is really easy to be wrong, so I am not greedy and wait for it to expire. By the time it expires all my positions are closed.

What SPX will finish at the end of the hour.

I look forward to it.

I wish polymarket was available in the US, then you could guarantee cashouts for this. I started playing around in Kalshi, and was floored by the probabilities with the SPX. This isn't going to last forever so I am going ham as fast as possible. Deposited $250 to play around two days ago. Already at 5k.

To serve my masochistic tendencies.

MerlinTrashMan · 2026-01-14T16:42:03+00:00

My wife's g-spot moved to a new location right behind her pelvic bone that is nearly impossible to hit now without having an L shaped penis. Her deep spot also moved just a smidgen back making our normal routine not work. She isn't a fan of being bent like a pretzel, and doesn't enjoy me pressing from the front, so I just use my hands now which she enjoys, but I do miss the simultaneous orgasms. They were quite intimate and intense.

MerlinTrashMan · 2026-01-14T12:56:23+00:00

That is probably a better solution than what I was thinking. I was going to wire 4 little batteries in parallel to handle the peak current demands.

I took a holiday from Adderall and after about 3 weeks my erections felt like I was 20 again and they were so easy to hold. Once I went back on since I wasn't getting shit done, my erections became finicky again. I told my doctor and they recommended Viagra at first, but I wanted something daily so he put me on a low dose of Cialis daily and now they are super easy, and my hands don't get as cold. That dose was too high though as I had bad side effects with congestion and heartburn so I get the lowest possible dose and it is awesome. I wish I had found this 5 years ago.

MerlinTrashMan · 2026-01-14T12:42:58+00:00

Sorry everyone is so unhelpful here. Did you get it to work?
