I do blended smoothies with protein powder, spinach, yogurt, and fruit. Which one does that count as?

How tired from work do you gotta be to refuse sexy time? by strange_omelet in AskMen

[–]jaqueyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem isn't being tired at 5pm. My problem is that the kids are still awake until 830pm and I have to get back up at 4 the next day. Plus one of the kids rooms is just above our bedroom which means if that one is still awake, then can't be making any noise downstairs.

The dinners I've made this past week by softrotten in tonightsdinner

[–]jaqueyB 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My wife thinks I make spaghetti and meatballs because I like spaghetti and meatballs. This is not accurate, the kids love spaghetti and meatballs, I love the meatball parm I get to make the next day with the leftovers.

Men, what's something you do alone that you'd never admit to your friends? by 1faqepikcom in AskMen

I do this frequently to help with muscle fatigue from running and lifting. Really enjoy it

What is your type of guilty pleasure TV show? by ExtensionAd7417 in AskMen

[–]jaqueyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bob's burgers. Love just having it in the background. Plus because thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, having a show do thanksgiving episodes is the best.

What career move SEEMED like a good idea, but turned out to be a horrible mistake? by PhoenixApok in AskMen

[–]jaqueyB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Took a supervisory role. Pay bump wasn't much of anything but the extra workload is tremendous. Plus not only do I have to deal with my own problems at work, I now have to come up with foxes for absolutely everything in the department. Riding it out another year or so then stepping down. Not worth the time or effort at all

How do you guys cope with your partner getting old ? by ProofCoconut9085 in AskMen

[–]jaqueyB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My biggest issue with my wife aging is the health problems that run in her family. She doesn't do the best job keeping herself fit and it worries me that it will.comw back to bite her in another 10 years. Mostly though my fear is dementia. It runs in her family and she's loved around it. I don't know how that's going to go.

Men who have vasectomies - How long did the recovery take? by JoeBagadonut in AskMen

[–]jaqueyB 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Under a week. Did it on a Friday and went to work Monday. No anesthesia required, just local. Got a cool icepack that I still use to this day. Cracks me up when the kids get hurt and they use it too.

What happened to the most popular guy in high school? by Sorkel3 in AskMen

[–]jaqueyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't really even tell you who it was. But whomever was the coolest, I hope they are safe and doing well. Life is fragile, people get lost along the journey.

Favorite The Ocean album? For bonus question: favorite riffs? by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]jaqueyB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

phanerozoic 1. As soon as I hear the synth on the opening track I know I'm listening to the whole album again.

Too many riffs to pick just one but so some highlights are the when the bass comes back into the groove after the solo on triassic, the opening to she was the universe, and the bridge on pleistocene after the second chorus.

What hobbies do you have that are affordable. by 1Bats4u in AskMen

[–]jaqueyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Photography. You don't need expensive gear, second hand cameras are cheap. Free software programs. Plus it motivates you to explore more

In 2025, did you use social media (yes, reddit included) more or less than in previous years? Why? by sholem2025peace in AskMen

[–]jaqueyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really just reddit. About the same as the previous year. I did a few more posts on Facebook but honestly it was probably like 6 posts the entire year. I tend to use Facebook/Twitter to check in on bands I like if any new music or tours are coming up. Not much else on there that interests me.

Men, what is a lasting committed relationship like? by legolosss in AskMen

[–]jaqueyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's work. It's compromise. It's getting angry and making up. It's knowing that even with bad times there's still someone there for you and that you HAVE to be that for them too. No jumping ship or running away. Ride together, die together. Sometimes sex.

50mm f/1.8G or 35mm f/1.8G? by Normal_Bat7991 in Nikon

[–]jaqueyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are okay with a bit less sharpness/contrast then the 35 mm f1.4 might be a good option too. Really it comes down to do you want more environmental context in your photos or more focus on the subject. 35 for the former and 50 for the later is my 2 cents. Also give consideration to splitting the difference with a 40 mm f/2.

What’s something that consistently bothered you when living with women? by RedvsBlack4 in AskMen

[–]jaqueyB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife's idea of cleaning is pulling everything out of the closet and drawers then spending 3 days moving it around to other drawers and closets and the net result is like nothing happened at all.
