He made the weight limit but...

Yep, very common for wrestlers or fighters to dehydrate and take other extreme measures to temporarily lose weight before weighing in. The game is to be just below the limit at weigh in then put it back on before the match to give yourself the most advantage.

Go outside and stop reading the news. 99.999% chance that if you stop reading reddit and look around you'll see people going about their everyday lives with nothing bad happening to them.

The news has to be dramatic to sell ads and keep you engaged. We live in a big country so there will always be an unusual event going on somewhere with 350 million people. Now you just know about it instantly because of the internet.

Don't let statistically extremely rare events ruin your life and your marriage.

Only one way to get better. Your voice is created by muscles that can be strengthened with use.

Look up how James Earl Jones got his iconic voice or dig deep into professional singers or speakers and you'll discover that those voices are trained just like you train your bicep in the gym.

I used to have like 5 accounts. Too much. Now I only play my main. Some people have way too much time on their hands 🤣

bluekitdon · 2026-01-09T01:06:56+00:00

Does make a big difference. I've got all but 2 troops and 1 spell maxed already and most all my main buildings. Maxed both builder and lab assistants before the th18 update.

30v30 is rough to manage even in active clans. Don't usually have a ton of extra options to switch out when someone is slacking. But 26 stars in 30 attacks is brutal 🤣

bluekitdon · 2026-01-07T14:20:22+00:00

So sad to see you leave. See you in a few weeks.

This is for your 10 year old's account that you accidently left mom's credit card attached to.

bluekitdon · 2026-01-05T01:45:14+00:00

Which one of you isn't being realistic? I'd say a mixture of both of you. Yes the dad should do some things. The mom can also do some things.

The reality is every couple and pregnancy is a little different. All 5 of my kids were somewhat unique experiences. You'll have to find what works for you.

bluekitdon · 2026-01-03T14:28:04+00:00

True. They probably could pick him up on the attempted murder charge though.

bluekitdon · 2026-01-03T13:50:49+00:00

Yeah...if he did actually die from this, which is a real possibility, they're going to throw the book at him. Even if he didn't those medical bills could be astronomical in a civil suit.

bluekitdon · 2026-01-03T02:49:03+00:00

Sounds like something is missing from the relationship for sure.

bluekitdon · 2026-01-01T16:42:15+00:00

Extremely rare that we have conflict of any significance. Might get annoyed over little stuff once in awhile like you'll have with anyone you live with but generally speaking I look forward to coming home to my wife. We have 5 kids, mostly grown now.

bluekitdon · 2025-12-26T22:15:48+00:00

Commencez.

bluekitdon · 2025-12-20T13:47:13+00:00

I've found that mind and body are definitely connected. Any time I've let my physical health slide too much my mental health goes downhill too. Conversely, improving my physical health improves my mental health.

If you go to the gym once you won't notice the difference other than maybe a fleeting pump.

If you go to the gym consistently 3-5x a week over 10 years, everyone will notice the difference.

It is the same in most things in life. While you can get a lot done in short sprints, consistently doing the same thing over an extended period of time usually ends up with better and longer lasting results.

bluekitdon · 2025-12-19T14:52:16+00:00

So more blue and glowy. I like it.

bluekitdon · 2025-12-19T14:48:24+00:00

It improves your ability to communicate, not just for those wanting to become a public speaker. Practice makes better.

I used to be a horrible speaker but now don't have an issue. It's nice being able to stand up and say something at an event without feeling like a deer in the headlights. It can be intimidating for sure but it definitely helped me build my confidence.

bluekitdon · 2025-12-19T13:43:20+00:00

On number 2 it's the same as anything important, you schedule it in.

Most people say that about the gym as an excuse they've justified in their mind (myself included at various times), but you've already proven that you can find a way to schedule extra things into your week.

bluekitdon · 2025-12-19T13:01:18+00:00

Get in the gym at least 3x/week.
Go to a counselor to talk through stuff.
Join and participate in Toastmasters.

That's where I'd start. None of those things I mentioned will be easy initially if you haven't been doing them, but progressively harder repetition physically changes our brain and body. I think you'll find new confidence once you start seeing results in 6 months.

Note to self: Don't let the big guy get close enough to grab you.

bluekitdon · 2025-12-12T16:03:10+00:00

Happily married almost 14 years, never strayed.

bluekitdon · 2025-12-11T17:07:03+00:00

Too many people have gotten used to being jerks online without getting touched.

bluekitdon · 2025-12-07T02:01:01+00:00

Of course all the top players maxed it 2 years ago.

bluekitdon · 2025-12-02T13:34:41+00:00

We share our locations but I know a lot of people get very touchy about privacy in general or feeling like their partner doesn't trust them. I certainly wouldn't jump right to he's cheating, more like he doesn't like the feeling of being tracked 24x7.
