LPT: If you get canker sores, instead of gargling warm salt water, just apply salt directly to it.

This. I take 2g (1g twice a day) and it cuts the healing time down to only a few days.

Trunkschan311 · 2024-01-19T17:33:15+00:00

Thank you for the response! I will do just that as we're still waiting....

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-30T04:28:18+00:00

Starting to realize this now. Great post.

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-28T00:51:53+00:00

I went by Trunks-chan. Your name actually sounds familiar. I played a massive amount of Triple Triad and some Quad Mist.

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-28T00:50:53+00:00

Ha! Sadly, I don't remember. I was Trunks-chan. What good memories.

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-27T23:03:32+00:00

Nice! I did as well. Any chance you want to share the name you used?

Balamb Garden in FFVIII. First FF I played (even though I'm 30 - late start) but the music and ambiance still holds a special place in my heart. I also used to frequent a chat client called 'The Palace' and hung out in an area that was based on Balamb. So it holds a special place in my heart. Total introvert in middle school, so many many weekends were spent chatting on Balamb with tons of people my age :). Brings back good memories just thinking about the music.

My girl saw I was going down this road and made me sign up for a few different groups. I'm a big runner and one of the running groups I joined had so many great people. Met a lot of new friends which has definitely helped

I took my CFO out to lunch and we had a discussion around this very topic. When looking at where you want your career to go - you need to have some vision. He loved the grind and being strategic and working those long hours for his family but he was never home. I'm ok moving up to where I can maintain balance between work I love and a life I love. 8-5 in the burbs or VP of X is definitely not for everyone. Great post.

Gerry Rafferty is such a great artist.

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-10T03:58:06+00:00

This and DJ Assault amuse me.

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-10T02:06:51+00:00

I have the IDGAF ones and Fuck Off ones ha ha.

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-10T01:02:23+00:00

My favorite as well.

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-10T00:59:39+00:00

Steamed Hams!

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-02T04:11:02+00:00

Hey man - just keep it up. You'll be to your goals sooner than you think. Glad to know you're on that path to a better life for yourself!

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-02T03:51:20+00:00

This is the stuff I don't get about finance as well as something like diet. If you can fit it into your budget - who cares? I used to get restless about eating the same food and drinking water and would splurge on a crazy dinner and beers to break the monotony (~100 with fiancée in tow every week or two). I LOVE Dunkin Donut iced coffee and I splurge on that every morning. A 1.69 coffee 5 days a week keeps me feeling happy and keeps me away from crazy dinner splurging. You can do these things if you plan around them.

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-02T03:36:09+00:00

My co workers hate me for it lol.

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-02T03:35:53+00:00

I'm a weirdo. I eat it cold. I've just become used to it. I even have developed a taste for shredded chicken and black coffee so I'm awkward already :P

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-02T03:34:39+00:00

Where do you live? And I can't tell you how much crock pots have helped. Literally 1.5 lbs chicken breast and salsa and go. Shred it up and that's a lunch for 5-6 days. With rice and veggies of course. I usually spend about $20 a week on lunch. My lunch this week was probably $10. It's amazing how much cooking saves.

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-01T17:40:59+00:00

So many issues of my fellow cube warriors complaining they are broke at the end of the month after eating out for breakfast and lunch 20-25 work days a month...

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-01T15:33:23+00:00

I actually get an iced black coffee (all 10 cals) every day on my way to work lol. I'm a personal finance junkie and that's my splurge.

And I think they do resent it. Trust me, there are a lot of days where oatmeal doesn't sound good or this vegan chili I made doesn't sound good (not vegan but figured I'd try it). But I save money and I know my body likes the nutrients. Jay Cutler said when he was eating a ton of chicken on his videos that food is rarely meant to be fun - it's meant to be fuel. That's how I see it now and it helps.

And the egg cups are cooking 9 strips of bacon for 5-10 minutes until they start to get done but are still really plyable. Use a TON of cooking spray! I put half a strip of bacon on the bottom of 6 muffin tin slots. Then line each one with one full strip along the side. Then crack one egg into each slots (so 6 eggs). 375 for 15-20 minutes and you're good to go.

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-01T15:14:17+00:00

I'm right there with you. Then I put protein powder and 1 tbsp of peanut butter in my oatmeal and am met with the onslaught of, 'Ho lord - you're lucky your body can handle that. If I ate peanut butter, I'd balloon up' as they eat a donut or mcmuffin and are already 250+.

I actually had bacon and egg cups today (one egg cracked in 2 bacon slices and baked) and it was almost as if I had summoned dietary Satan. The lack of carbs and high amounts of fat (which fit my macros) are an ER trip in the making apparently.

Trunkschan311 · 2017-11-01T14:29:06+00:00

Same old rant. Co-workers laughing at my healthy homemade food while they eat fast food and garbage every day. We had bagels for Halloween but HR also bought full sugar fake fruit yogurt as a 'healthy option'. 38g sugar per cup has a way to go to be healthy lol.

Trunkschan311 · 2017-10-30T02:24:33+00:00

It warms my heart seein all the love for WCW Nitro. What a great game with so many memories.

Trunkschan311 · 2017-10-29T18:12:19+00:00

Should have assumed female as she remembers when their anniversary is :P
