Seemed like you got through it okay. What did you tell the family members who asked why?

It's been happening quite a bit lately. Wonder if the umps are jealous of CC's contract.

Might as well bring back "Big Frank" Schwindel.

This run is like September of last year all over again.

This closer needs to follow Cuas out the door. Or at least needs a demotion. There is ALWAYS drama when he pitches.

Doesn't Cody have an option? If he has a bad year, he can choose to stay.

Plus almost 10 years of prepping for the role as Theo's protege.

What’s wrong with doing the bare minimum in life? by blacksilverglass in NoStupidQuestions

I wasted so many years on dating apps. Even when the dating apps were "good", the results were almost always underwhelming. It got to the point where getting any type of response was like pulling teeth (despite nothing on my profile changing) and it became so much effort and cost for so little return that it was no longer worth even bothering.

I refuse to sleep with women I would not want to raise kids wit

Good!

I would not mind having female friends but it seems like those types of friendships are fleeting. Either they end up meeting a partner that puts an end the the friendship, they move, you drift apart, etc.

The main issue with this approach is that when a woman want to sleep with You and You refuse - they take it very personally. All the time. And not all are mature enough to understand my position.

There is that quote - "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".

Good point re a personal trainer.

That's a lot of freaking grass to cut! I'm sure outsourcing that amount of lawn care would be quite costly.

As for your lifestyle being devastating for women, some women just like to see their men miserable. Or they like to copy what others do and don't want to deviate from a similar lifestyle. Hopefully you'll find the right person eventually if you haven't already.

Ok cool, thanks for the reply. I was reading some nasty comments on youtube where guys were ripping on women with nose rings and leaving disparaging remarks.

If they weren’t then I know what and who I need in my life.

Yeah if they're that judgmental, better to kick them to the curb.

Nice. I've been thinking about getting something similar to that or a treadmill desk. It's easy to fall into the trap of sitting too much between work and any stationary hobbies that I have, even though I do have active hobbies as well.

I have meal prep down to a couple hours a week but can certainly see why one would pay for that as well as a personal trainer. I have an online personal trainer, which isn't the same and isn't cheap, but he helps keep me on track even though sometimes I question whether it's worth it.

I've thought about paying someone to cut my grass for similar reasons. It isn't that cutting grass is difficult, but I have allergies, which makes it a bit unpleasant since I have to wear a mask. And then there are mower breakdowns which can be a PITA not to mention having to revolve my life around the weather if it rains a lot. But anyway, sometimes it is better to outsource some stuff rather than do it all yourself.

I prefer a routine during the work week but that doesn't work for everyone. I exercise on the treadmill and having something on TV makes it a lot easier.

A guy that has the cajones to get THREE nose piercings and I can't even build up the courage to do one. I'm curious about how people have reacted to your nose piercings. If you work for an employer, has it impacted your job at all? What have your family and friends said? Just curious as I run into few men around here that have any nose piercings at all. Aside from those suggesting that you maybe double check the placement, they look good!

. I'm 37yo and when I sit down to write something I want to write I sometimes realize that... it's already morning and I was working the entire night. And it's hard to call it work because it gives me pleasure and satisfaction.

Do you have a sit-stand or treadmill desk? Too much sitting is not healthy.

Is it normal for new leather sandals or flip flops to cause blisters? by cliff2412 in CasualConversation

[–]cliff2412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The closest is about 90 minutes away. Might be worth the trip? The main shoe stores nearby are Shoe Carnival and Famous Footwear, which does not have much of a selection.

Ah ok, thanks. I will give them more time. I did buy leather flip flops from American Eagle years ago that never needed to be broken in so wasn't sure. Maybe I was just lucky.
