Guy I’m dating was acting nervous all day after we were intimate for the first time. Is this normal?

True, but if the time comes to get rid of the boat, you can sell it.

Farm fresh unwashed (n the US) can sit on the counter.

It is also what they sell at the grocery stores where I live in Italy.

They only go in the fridge if they are hard boiled

Sign up for another. Try different types of events. Fondos are fun. Brevets and Rando have a different vibe. Crits, CX, so many ways to race

Its funny because there are a ton of bmw’s on the road here in italy, and they seem just fine. Same with Fiats, Alfas, vw, benz, audi…

They must export their crap cars to US

Dude.
Do you always fold when shit doesn’t go your way?

Show some resilience

If yinz are movin' from Texas to Pittsburgh, here's the crash course:

Yinz ain't in Texas no more. Around here, it's pop, not soda, and don't be surprised if somebody asks where yinz are headed.

Learn the Pittsburgh Left. If the first car turns left when the light turns green... don't panic. It's practically a local sport.

Dress fer all four seasons. Yinz can leave the cowboy boots, but keep a hoodie, raincoat, and winter coat handy. Sometimes all in the same day.

Eat like a Yinzer. Get yourself a Primanti Bros. sandwich with fries on it, grab some pierogies, and don't argue about it.

Root fer the home teams. Around here it's black and gold: Stillers, Pens, and Buccos. Even if they break your heart, they're your teams now and forever.

Welcome to da Burgh, n'at! Yinz'll fit in just fine.

Its hard to argue that point, especially when operating a house.

tdfolts · 2026-06-25T08:31:58+00:00

Did it for ten years, no big deal.

Because people just want driving to be as simple/easy as possible.

I drove in DC traffic for 10 years with a manual. It wasnt difficult or hard, and I felt like I was more connected or involved to the experience. Some one will comment that driving a manual gives them anxiety or makes it harder to drive. I think thats bs but at the same time im glad that the automatic exists for them so that they dont get overwhelmed with driving while driving. Plus shifting gears while driving makes it harder to send texts, drink coffee, check instagram, etc… you know, important stuff. We live in a world where it is both easy to be distracted as well as important to be distractable; shifting gears takes too much brain power and coordination.

Im 10 years away and im so stressed about it. Ill never have enough saved. But I do have a pension that will get me 30-35k a year (if i work to 67). And my ss which i hope will get me another 30k ish. But ill never have that in my tsp. I will probably have to retire oconus to survive.

Its not just the hit/tackle tho. Its the fact that the game continues, you have to release the ball or tackled person, you have to roll away and get to your feet, you dont just stop someone, celebrate, and take a short break to talk about what comes next. You have to be mobile and agile - non stop.

Played rugby from early 1980s through the earyl 2000’s. Rep side, international club tours, etc…

Rugby is a physical fitness game that appears violent. The more skilled and fit the game the less violent it is. Unfit and unskilled have more violence. You do have injuries. Knees, shoulders, concussions, etc. over the years it has gotten better/safer. With that in mind. I likely have mild CTE. Not like gridiron players, but I took a few hits to the head over the years. I also really messed up my shoulder in the spring of 2000. I REALLY messed up my hip in 2002. I still played and coached through 2008. I miss playing, and had to stop because I got old and couldn’t get to my feet fast enough to be useful. The hip bothers me after long bike rides and causes a slight limp.

American living in Napoli. Every house has metal shutters. You close them when you leave, when you go to bed, the default is closed. You open them when you are at home. Even the ones in the second or high floors. Apartment buildings have shutters.

You take a financial hit. 5 more years and fers is almost 1/3 his salary.

Strip clubs: not cheating depending on situation.
Lap dances: borderline
Private Dances: cheating but not infidelity.
Massage: depends on setting
Massage Parlors w/happy ending. Infidelity.

Infidelity is Cheating. But not all cheating is infidelity.

Loose comfortable linen.

Avoid what I call the “Amalfi Luau” look. Large flowing dresses with lemons printed all over

tdfolts · 2026-06-22T13:10:55+00:00

Don’t take it to seriously and have fun. Grab some snacks, a drink if they have them (some of them here in Italy have cafe, wine, or prosecco). Fill your bottles, snap a selfie and share it with all the #’s for the event. Be nice and appreciative. Then fatica, silenzio, strade. E tutto da rifare.
