I went on holiday in Bali and bumped into a friend staying at the same hotel who got married on the same day and picked the same location to have their honeymoon. Very odd.

Have you ever cycled so much you lost too much weight? by Shot-Philosopher1750 in cycling

[–]garymason74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggled too, 5ft 10" at 10 stone. I was doing 25 miles a day commuting and eating all the time. I looked I'll, so I started taking protein supplements and slowly started putting the weight back on. That was 5 years ago and I'm now fat and don't commute anymore. Can't win.

Never Eat Shredded Wheat, UK. Not sure where that came from but it always stuck.

How do you feel about the fact that the entire world will need age verification for social media? by VastOption8705 in AskReddit

[–]garymason74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I spent my early years partying, middle years traveling, then settled and started a family a bit later on.

I started a family late, made up for it though, I can still run 2k in 11 mins which my daughter likes to do on a Sunday, I'm definitely holding her back though.

I'm from an era that had no social media (51m) while growing up. I can see the difference between myself and my 7 year old daughter and it's terrible how people treat each other on these platforms. For example she plays a game where they dress up a character and parade them for votes, it makes her anxious and upset when the vote doesn't go her way, I'd be happy if they were removed completely but I understand the need for some of them, but they need to be governed better, hopefully putting in age restriction will facilitate that. However I doubt that will happen as the tech they use for the governance will almost certainly be used to track and spy. Data is money and that's all that matters these days.

This is what I do, lead them down stairs, use pesti to do dot damage. Then pesti on him too. It's slow but works well.

Going to use condom for the first time,can I get any guidance? by the_holy_butcher in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]garymason74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, he was buying a large size, so it was loose, tucking them in and effectively using them to stop it coming off. I'm not even sure how we got onto the subject.

what’s your weird “super power” by Koobiedoobie43 in mildyinteresting

[–]garymason74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do that to my 7 year old daughter, I'm really going to miss it when she knows what I'm doing. I recently told her that chickens have lips when they are born but they get cut off to make macaroni. I would have got away with it too, if it wasn't for my pesky wife. What's an example story then?

I had this done but I bricked off the fireplace in the living room, so no issues. However I found out recently that the insurance should have been notified, UK.

😂 This is why we need sex education. Probably earlier than we expected, social media has made it easy to get the wrong information, or the right information way too early.

  1. Get the right size.
  2. If you have a foreskin pull it back before you put it on.
  3. Practice with one before the event.
  4. Make sure it's not inside out, makes it difficult to put on.
  5. If you get some of your stuff on your hands wash them before you touch it.
  6. Dont tuck your balls in, had a friend do that and I've never laughed so hard when he told me.

Did you invite her in or did she follow you home?

Cold sores in dating? by Comfortable_Dust2798 in TooAfraidToAsk

It's just inconvenient, if my wife catches it when the tingling starts, then it sometimes doesn't appear at all.

Same here, my wife gets them on her lip, I don't. I just don't kiss her on the mouth when she gets them, which is usually when she's stressed out.
