It’s supposed to make a dude’s nut taste better right?

Dang, Tim just came right out and said it.

For these purposes it’s just a good sugary snack with high potassium.

It’s also supposed to be good for blood pressure, but not like medicine good, just generally good.

For @Chris_Colucci 's kiddo, :man_shrugging: I dunno. :rofl:

There’s also the factor that if it’s just a relatively short distance, walking actually just gets you there at the same time or earlier compared to taking the bus or cab lol

For slipping in ice, I really just don’t want to get an ACL or PCL to be honest…cause ima be away from lifting for a bit…you know, priorities lol

You make me sound so arrogant, or naive :joy:

But dang, why are you so tolerant to cold lol

I used to work in Brooklyn too, in Marine Park and Bushwick. For some time I seriously missed Bushwick.

I haven’t explored much cause of time, but any good restos in bushwick?

I was jealous when a friend told me about a change in life that I desire myself. I am ashamed for that. I don’t wish that my friend doesn’t have this experience or that I’d be in her place. I just envy her. Still it tarnished the joy I should have been feeling for her.
I consider myself to be a decent and helpful person, who often puts the needs of others before my own and I’m pretty sure a lot of people would agree.
This feeling of jealousy is despicable for me. I think it’s okay to feel envy as in “I would like to have what the other one has but I don’t want that person to have less”. That’s what I feel in this instance as well. Still, I feel like my happiness for her in this case wasn’t as sincere as it should have been.

I don’t need confirmation that my behavior is or isn’t normal. I can be a bitter person at times, I just make it a point to not let that out on others and keep it internalized. That’s what makes this a confession for me.

Not I. If it wouldn’t hurt my moms feelings I’d be out of town that weekend.

It’s 2:00am and I’m on a trouble call, GPS says I’m close to where the broke pole is. I see a lady running out to the road, thinking it’s a customer trying to flag me down to let me know where exactly it is I stop, roll the window down. She jumps in my truck, it’s a drunk prostitute.

Good times man.

In my head an Abbot and Costello routine unfolded between you two over a hilarious misunderstanding regarding discussions of “the pole in question”

No! I mean it in the sense that you’ll derive some weird pleasure from it - that’s why I use working out as an analogy. People are completely disgusted by the sweaty, stupid misery of it, but for me that’s part of the fun. There’s joy (freedom? something) in wiping my runny nose on my t-shirt while running. I feel badass. It’s really not about others’ opinions, but the more others are repelled by it, for some reason, the more I take pride in it. I guess because others’ opinions indicate the level of challenge and challenge is what I enjoy.

I have the same feeling at work, taking cases that intimidate others. I may not be able to resolve the issue, but I’m happy to wade in and try. And I take pride in this.

So there, I’ve worked out what I’m trying to say: I enjoy being challenged, and the weather is or can be a challenge I enjoy. I hope you’ll feel the same!

Yeah, you’ll want to fall carefully, haha. My husband is very good on ice (college hockey level good on ice) and refuses to hold my hand as we walk up the driveway in the dark for winter walks, because when I go down generally my feet fly out and I land on my back. If we’re holding hands, so does he because I flip him.

And your confession, sir? :face_with_monocle:

Unrelated: I had a dream that I was part of some sort of group, like a book club or something (but not, because in the dream I was aware that I’d been run out of the BC I tried recently and was trying to tell myself that this was way better anyway). Anyway, for reasons not remembered I had to take a photo of myself, and in that I was wearing a bra or sport bra and sweat pants pushed low on my hips. I was thinking in the dream that I’m not willing to take another photo in six weeks, and also this one didn’t look THAT bad, so I was determined to use it for the T-ransformation this year. I went as far as trying to decide whether to admit it wasn’t taken Jan 1. Just weird.

I confess that I’ve actually spent some time fretting over what to do with the t-ransformation challenge this year. The dream was accurate in that I’m not feeling okay about posting a pic of the current situation, but on the other hand the challenge has been a good reset in the past.

Today I found an old hat. Just a thin wooly hat. I brought it years ago. It is cheap and hold no real sentimental value.
Confession:
I was very happy to have found it. I’m not sure why. Perhaps it is a sign that I value not losing things?

Went with my son and did a beach cleanup today. I got irrationally pissed off at plastic. That stuff is polluting everywhere.

Related confession: I am counting walking up and down the beach for over an hour as my low intensity cardio today.
