Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

Oh, I’m sorry. I was hoping you’d have lazy thieves. :frowning_face:

Me too. The tools had more sentimental value than anything. Granted a couple snap on items were stolen but those tools have been with me through many different hobbies and cycles of life. That’s what hurt the most.

Hopefully they’ll get good money for everything and use it to buy their kids Christmas. That would make me feel better.

I confess I feel an unreasonable degree of sorrow now that Lite n Fit yogurts have switched their seasonal flavor from pumpkin pie to creme brule.

I confess that I’m still trying to figure out a powder protocol for running to keep my nether regions from being worn into oblivion. Yesterday was the third time I’ve run and had my berries end up bleeding/scabbing. Ain’t like I’m doing 10 milers either, this was 2.2.

Any advice from people that have been running awhile?

Not a runner, so cant comment specific to that. But this gets me through the SoCal summers with some level of sanity

Corn starch. Not corn flour!

What else are you going to use to make hush puppies then?

I typed it, posted it, looked at it, laughed uncontrollably, hovered over the delete button, and then let it be, because it works on so many levels. The right underwear/compression shorts is the best step of protection, and obviously something is amiss if 2 miles is causing bleeding, but I also like the idea of interrupting someone asking for help to ask what kind of underwear they have on.

I tried finding a GIF for this, but searching “rubbing thighs” at work IMMEDIATELY resulted in results Not Safe For Work

Sorry to hear. Forgot to lock my suv once in SF, on a street full of overpriced million+ houses, some asshole stole my handy dandy AAA emergency road kit out of the trunk lol! Fortunately, I never keep much of anything in my car because I have low expectations for the human race.

I confess I’m afraid to drive my sporty car into the Bay Area, because I am 100% convinced some hooligan there will key the damn thing just out of spite (happened before); I’m not fastidious about the car per se, I know I would just be livid at assholes in general and my mental state would be adversely affected. A man’s got to know his limitations -I have anger management issues…

How do we know this is not a humble brag post about having large balls?

I joke, I joke, couldn’t resist the low hanging fruit.

Body Glide anti-chafing stick. The band of my sports bras used to eat my flesh in the summer, and this thing solves it completely.

Good running shorts with a built in liner make a big difference. Problem is they’re like $40 a piece

Don’t forget to check local Craigslist and Facebook marketplace for people selling your stuff. Yes, they’re that dumb.

Basic briefs, everything else allowed too much movement for me. I have some plain compression shorts but that just creates a non-contrast live-action remake of pong when I run. Maybe boxer briefs?

By basic briefs do you mean like…regular boxers? All I know are boxer briefs, and they keep your thighs covered so they can rub against each other, and your package separate and out in front.

Or, as @loganator suggested, running shorts with a built in liner, and I’m pretty sure he used to be a distance runner so he knows his stuff. I don’t think $40 is even scratching the surface of what I’d pay to not have my balls bleed after a 2 mile run.

They also make underwear that has special pockets that hold your meat and potatoes. I used to see them advertised all over social media
