I had gum surgery this week to graft some skin over a receding gum line below my front bottom teeth now my mouth is full of sutures and every time I eat something I freak out that I’ll have food stuck there forever. the inside of my mouth looks like something out of saw

I really enjoy sewing on buttons by hand. I am sewing buttons onto the waistbands of my trousers so I can use buttoned braces instead of belts and it is hella satisfying.

Jonny 290 posted:ive been pondering the suspender option lately. school me. how do i make it not horribly tory I have been an rear end-crack-asaurus for years. I tried clip on suspenders which worked ok but had a habit of violently, elastically detaching at innoportune moments. Squat or bend to pick something up from down low and POW So I looked around and ending up ordering these: quote:Hold'Em Suspender for Men Made in USA Y-Back Genuine Leather Trimmed button end tuxedo suspenders Many colors and designs - Hunter (Tall 54" Long) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B8QV3XG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_fjqxDbHSQ5BE3 they come with buttons. I sewed the buttons about a half inch either side of the corresponding belt loops on my trousers. I then button them on and wear them underneath my shirt - I always wear a singlet so they sit on top of that but underneath my T-shirt or dress shirt (rarely). I’m not patrick bateman enough to have them on display they are very comfortable and completely solve my rear end-crack display problem. The only caveat is that you need to strip down to your underwear to take a poo poo, Kramer style, but unless you are low on fibre just git r dun in the morning and live the suspender life all day. I have sewed buttons on a couple of pairs of trousers but need to go out and buy some more so I can have them on all of them

I've always been a bigger dude but all my health indicators are great, like very low resting heart rate, great peak flow, slightly above ideal blood pressure, healthy LDL/HDL even when I am super lean (not often lol, but when I was 18-25 and taking acid/drinking and dancing to drum and bass 4 nights a week, or when I was in good shape when I lived in australia) my BMI is still over obese. I hear what you're saying echi - finding the balance betweena disciplined and mindful approach to weight/health management and evidence based care which says that a large proportiion of the population are fat as gently caress, want to lose weight, and are simply unable to for whatever reason is challenging. I think that whatever the approach, removing moral/value judgement from the model is key. peeps are peeps

also I think there is a strong liberalist, objectivist, individualist instinct ingrained in modern capitalism that is continually loving with our ability to make decisions at a macro level.

ive experienced major depressive episodes at several points in my life but haven't had any for like 7 years now, and thankfully none since I've had kids. I could feel the black dog sniffing aroudn earlier this year and worked my way out of it with a routine of light nightly exercise (walking) and some CBT techniques I heard on russel brand's podcast (lol) things that have helped me: a supportive relationship (huge), humility, and having my own little personal ethos. curiosity, empathy, and kindness are the principals to live by, and family and community are what makes you truly happy. I've been lucky to be able to earn good money and have good physical health. my thing this year has been to really focus in on patience and persistence, and being less judgemental life is a loving bitch but I really do think that a lot of your experience of the world can be chosen. you can decide how to interpret things. even if that interpretation is hogshit, if it gets you through and you're not hurting others, it can be helpful. thats not to say making those choices is easy, or that mindset is dismissive of people's pain or struggle. no way. but framing things in that way makes it easier to feel better

a thing that really shits me about myself is that I find it hard to maintain friendships. I just don't really care about them, they seem a lot of effort. I like people and stuff but I guess I'm fundamentally introverted and/or socially anxious. my sense is that this is not uncommon in men particularly. I worry that I am gonna really regret that as I get older tho

my wife has gone away for 4 days so I’m off work and on full time childcare duty. my crazy 2 year old demanded to watch Jurassic Park this afternoon so I gave him his water bottle and some fruit and went into the backyard and cut down two trees with my chainsaw. now both kids are in bed so I’ll sweep out the garage and then play far cry 5 while enjoying a nice cup of lady grey tea. just dad things I would love to be a stay at home dad but fuckily my earning potential is like double my wife’s and my type of work (sales engineer/solutions architect) is super flexbile on hours so this is our best option

echinopsis posted:funnily enough I think you can actually do about 93% of the legwork over chat, it's just that most dudes are very very bad at this. without trying to sound cocky, I've never actually met with anyone irl that didn't want to take it further, after having already established thru chat the intentions. but for some reason, people seem to be afraid of communicating directly beforehand what they hope to get and achieve etc. perhaps it's clearer to state that the majority of people who wouldn't have been interested in going further were discovered during chat and not once actually met, again proving how beneficial decent communication can be. I am not sure why this is so difficult for so many god drat people because sometimes its hard to even know what you want, let alone articulate and communicate it clearly without fear of shame, rejection, or ridicule. i feel like this in most aspects of my life, let alone the sensitive and loaded area of cruising for rear end or love my opinion is even more worthless than usual on this point as I've been with my waifu for 13 years and all our 'courting' pre-dated tinder and normalised online dating in general. at least for <25 people in nz. git apologist fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Oct 22, 2019 |

I bought a Mirra on our local eBay equivalent for about $150. when I lived in London I got one for about the same, and a Steelcase Leap (the best for me) for a little more. they were all well worth it. build a chair sure but just buy a secondhand one immediately to keep you going

After years of resistance I got a CPAP to treat my snoring and sleep apnea. it owns. Previously I was waking up like 3 or 4 times a night because I thought I needed to piss, turns out I just couldn’t breathe. i was tired all the time Now I sleep right through and I don’t snore so my wife hates me 1% less. I feel super well rested when I wake up. I do gotta wear a lovely darth vader mask when I sleep but it’s worth it

it was a long weekend here in nz just now and we went camping. someone tipped us off that ol' musky's starlink satellites would be passing overhead and what do you know, they were, and we watched fifty of them go past all in an eerily straight line. weird poo poo anyway after that my wife and the husband of the other couple got on one of their regular jerk-off sessions about lovely music from the mid 90s which I find intensely embarrassing so I went to bed. the next morning they told me they could hear me farting really loud from inside the tent. a proud moment for me I'm still buzzing about
