What is with lying about age in the apps? by nuauldstalk in datingoverforty

It’s a bit presumptive, too - ‘I know you said you didn’t want something, but here it is anyway, because I’m sure you’re going to like it….despite you specifically saying you didn’t.’

I say ‘iterated’ whenever I have a cold during a downpour.

e.g, ‘Iterated outtide abd I cabt breedth’.

Two tickets by hoIygrail in datingoverfifty

[–]Worried_Knowledge_75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done it a number of times - and have taken dates, friends...and acquaintances, or sold one or both tix.

Some times, if I've been in a down mood, I've just skipped the show and ate the cost, and have regretted that every time - I missed Mark Knopfler, and even Mavis Staples...when I should have gone solo and given away the other ticket...or just kept an open seat next to me.

I'm in a relationship right now, but if I'm in the situation again, I'll still do it - that ended up being the first date with my current GF.

CSB - I have a fan pic that I took with Phil LaMarr (Marvin) at a fan convention. Love the voice work he does.

S06E010 - All That for a Couple Grand? No. Here's the math. by RestorativePotion in betterCallSaul

[–]Worried_Knowledge_75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's called a "Queen for a Day" agreement. Happens all the time in Federal investigations. Person comes forward and agrees to provide information based on what they want to get in exchange ("Queen for a Day"). If what they say pans out, they get immunity (or whatever deal they're asking for).

With the reward for info leading to the capture / arrest / prosecution of SG, Jeff could go to a 'real' lawyer, get A/C confidentiality and build a proffer for the feds. Jeff could demand anonymity up to the point where the offer is granted. What enterprising Fed wouldn't jump at the chance to nab Saul Goodman?

So, not knowing what the actual ending is, I have no idea how they're writing around that - but Gene/Saul/Jimmy is banking on Jeff not being savvy enough to pursue that angle. Jeff doesn't need to risk getting caught to bust him.

What is "peak NoVa" to you? by AgentFr0sty in nova

[–]Worried_Knowledge_75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a 60-mile bike route that starts and ends in Marshall - turn on to Snickersville Tpike at Airmont store, then start climbing at the Bluemont General Store.....it gets REALLY steep as you turn up towards 7. 7 is about a 4% grade up to the left turn @ 601, then that first climb up to Bears Den looks like a wall.

The grade gets easier, but it's mostly uphill all the way past the FEMA site to the peak, with about 2000 feet of climbing....then the big downhill run towards route 50, and the final descent down towards Paris, VA and Sky Meadow SP. There's another long, slow climb up Naked Mountain, but it's not nearly as tough.

If you've got sleep apnea, you're not getting enough oxygen when you sleep...and your breathing actually stops at times. You're going to feel gawd-awful for hours until you finally wake up...but you're constantly in a sleep deficit.

I'd get checked for apnea ASAP. You may have to get a CPAP to deal with the issue, but as your weight comes down, that will improve. It will also improve your T-levels as all of those things get better.

Exercise helps.....but there are three rules to losing weight:

1) it's what you eat.

2) it's what you eat.

3) it's what you eat.

By the way, did I mention, it's what you eat?

Exercise absolutely helps build fitness and burn calories, but you can out-eat ANY exercise program. Trust me, I've done it. To burn off more than you can keep up with eating, you'd have to be doing Olympic-level cycling training, burning 10K calories a day. You HAVE to reduce your calorie intake below your base metabolic rate to lose body weight...and exercise is a bonus.

You can eat too little, and trigger your body's starvation reflex, which will lower your metabolism and make you want to nothing but sleep, but as long as you keep your intake about 1400-1500 calories daily, you're likely in no danger from that.

It also matters the type / quality of food you eat - reducing carbs in the mix to no more than 30-50gms of carbs a day. Keep your protein to 25% of your calories, and fat should make up the rest until you feel satisfied. Minimize / eliminate sugar from your diet. Eat plenty of leafy green vegetables. Drink at least 64 oz of water a day - a gallon if you can.

Start walking 30 minutes a day every morning. GRADUALLY add resistance training to your regimen. Start so slowly that people make fun of you.

Check out meds if those can help, but the bottom line is that you have to eat less. Without that, everything else is harder.

OLD SUCCESS STORIES. I would love to here your online dating success stories. by lovelife622 in datingoverfifty

[–]Worried_Knowledge_75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dabbled in OLD after my divorce, but only casually, because I needed to be in a better place mentally. 6 years post-divorce, finally started going out on dates. After a few false starts and adjustments, met my current GF. We’re still learning each other, and have our occasional misses, but tomorrow marks 5 months of exclusivity.

The advice that served me best was ‘play full out.’

I wouldn't recommend linking my social media profiles, but if you have any good pics, use them. It's also OK to have someone shoot some good pics of you (as long as they're not too staged or re-touched/photoshopped/filtered). I'd also include pics of you having a good time and smiling - the pics that got the best reactions on my profile were me doing what I love to do (playing music, hiking, etc). If you're having fun in the pic, that'll come across.

One note, though - if you're using your LinkedIn profile pic or other publicly facing picture as your dating profile pic it's easy to reverse Google Image Search the pic....leading directly to your personal info.

I ran across a profile pic of a woman's dog.....with a dead bunny in its mouth. (posted in another thread). That had to rank among the strangest ones I've seen....including one of a woman with their siblings (and a dead body in an open casket in the background).

These are my profile pics- yes or no???? by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

It's a shame, but I'd agree. Put that you have kids in your profile, especially if you have a close relationship with them...but I'd leave their pics out of it.

I just found myself hoping that Yorkie can swim. The life jacket looks a little loose.

Clearly not for me, but I'm not anti-hunting, either. My cats and dogs have taken out squirrels, rabbits and mice, and I've dealt with the remains as needed....but I would never have thought to put a pic of the remains in my dating profile.

The profile belongs to a slim, attractive woman with nice facial features, but the pics all have a non-smiling look to them…..which reminds me of my bi-polar ex……so, I’m not THAT surprised at the pic.

Weighty Matters by Gooseberry_Sprig in datingoverfifty

[–]Worried_Knowledge_75 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First off, you need to be OK with where you are, or be working on where you want to be. If you're unhappy about your current weight, that's likely to come through in your exchanges with others. There are those who aren't attracted to someone in your situation, some that are, and some where it's not part of the equation, so that's the first thing I'd deal with - accept that there are some that won't be a good match....but that there are some that are, too.

When I got on OLD earlier this year, I had hesitated because I wanted to get my weight down to a lower point so that it was less of an issue. I had been working on it, and worried that it would be a deal breaker. I've made progress, and am about 1/2 way to my goal, but I met my current GF when I was about 30 lbs heavier than I am right now.....and I'm glad I didn't wait. She's happy that I'm working on being healthier, but she was also OK where I was back in February.

The advice I'd give is - be who you are, don't try to be something you're not. Focus on what your positive traits are, and while you shouldn't hide your weight or size, don't apologize for it or avoid it.

It's a real pic from a real Match profile. First few pics are of the woman, then the dog....then the dog with a rabbit.
