Do you exercise every day? Did you do the thing in the breakup thread where you find a new hobby and then actually do it? Did you figure out the most productive time of day and schedule your time for both doing good things and having feelings? What are your short-term goals?

My grandpa pulled off the distinguished hair on the sides and back but bald top nicely. If you can do that, it lets you keep your hair while not letting the world push you around for being bald. I’ve been growing my hair out. It takes multiple days of being careful not to get it too dirty or too clean if I want it looking it’s best. Can anyone provide advice on where to buy a wedding ring without the wedding tax? We want a man-made diamond for ethical reasons and even that seems like it’s way more expensive than it should be.

yeeep. went bald in my early 20s so ehhh 10-15 years in so far. After 3-4 days it starts to drive me batty. The closer I get towards silver hair the more tempted I am by gold ear rings...

No men in my family (either side) have gone bald, which is a bonus for me since I have a hideous head. I bic’d it once in high school maybe and it was downright repulsive. More than my normal look. I just go to the barber every couple of months for a clean-up since I wear a baseball cap all the time outside of work and an OR hat at work.

Elviscat posted:Topically posting the picture I sent you of a 19 year old Focus that's been in the PNW for its entire life, and how much rust is on the underside. My 2003 Outback spent 95% of its life bouncing between BC and WA, and looked pretty much like that. The only thing that ever put up any kind of fight was the RF CV half shaft - that fucker did NOT want to come out of the hub. Pulled the knuckle and threw it in a press. Bent the press, so we took a torch to it while in the press. Gave up after getting it bright orange, left it in the press, started calling junkyards to track down another knuckle... about 15? minutes later thought someone had fired a gun. Nope, fucker popped out finally. I probably should have replaced the bearing at some point after all the fire and force

Made some good money recently and I just agreed to go with a full house recipe and all that goes with it, new sewer line…just $12k all at once. Sigh…but it’s all 62 years old….

$12k for a 62 year old house recipe doesn't seem that bad, how much salt and mayo does it call for? I'd cut both in half given that tastes and health guidances have changed since the 60's.

We want a man-made diamond for ethical reasons and even that seems like it’s way more expensive than it should be. Man-made stones definitely are gouging with the ethical label, they cost almost nothing to make, labor is in cutting just like natural. Don't know where you are but you can probably find a jewelry wholesaler and just order an empty ring in the right size then buy a stone to match, any jeweller will set a stone, shouldn't cost much. If I'd done this with my wife's wedding ring we'd have saved half easily. Congrats.

Is there a trick to finding the “right” wholesaler or is it the sort of thing that just requires legwork? And thank you :-)! Although I haven’t officially asked, I’m getting the sense she’ll be agreeable, especially since we have been ring shopping.

I'm not picky or anything, just lazy. I *will* cut it when it starts annoying me too much. One of the reasons I cut my ponytail years ago was it kept getting caught under my back and tugging on my head when scooting around underneath cars (driveway is a little too sloped for a creeper, so it's just me on a piece of carpet or whatever.) RIP Paul Walker posted:I’ve been growing my hair out. It takes multiple days of being careful not to get it too dirty or too clean if I want it looking it’s best. Ain't that the truth. I get "I've just washed my hair and can't do a thing with it" now. It just... floofs. I get ringlets, for Christ's sake! this hair should not be wasted on me... Next day it's fine, but I have to wash it every 2-3 days or, ew.

Moissanite or goatee however it's spelled. Looks like a diamond, has a higher refractive index so it's more "brilliant" lab grown, and just about as hard Should be more affordable than even lab grown diamonds

Also I’m hoping for more affordable, I’m not exactly rich :-( I found a proper jeweler who did custom stuff, we discussed what I wanted and they carved it in wax. I approved and they had it cast in palladium (I couldn’t afford platinum as a college student) with opal inlays and a sapphire instead of a diamond. It came out cheaper than the pre-made stuff and nobody else has a ring just like it.

A palladium band 1ct solitaire only ran me like $750 and everyone believes it's a real diamond because it shines so brilliantly Everyone might also include the missus, I'm not 100%. She should know that it's not real, I've never called it a diamond, she knows that I'd never buy a diamond, and I'd tell her if she'd ever asked me, but she never has. She's never called it anything other than a stone to me, but I have heard her tell other people it's a diamond

I hate the feeling of being freshly shaved. So I only shave (my beard) once a week, but I also don't really want a beard either. So I deal with it I guess. But my hair on the other hand. I used to keep it really short, and get it cut monthly. But several years ago I decided to grow it out. These days I get compliments on it. A fuckin lot. Girls love it. Which is quite an ego boost because generally they find me to be revolting being a goon after all. But hell yeah they love my hair! Speaking of love, rhyno we all love you motherfucker. Hang in there. Tough times don't last, tough people do.

I can’t seem to win here. The power steering high pressure hose on the truck lost an internal-non replaceable o-ring and dumped all the fluid. Made it to a family members near by, boy did I not enjoy strong-arming a 8,500lb truck. Even worse it took out the hydra boost- so I had no power brakes. Local parts house has a line in stock I’m picking up in the morning.

I'm also a revolting goon, for the last 4 months I've been able to be a revolting goon with a beard, for the first time in my life, and I recently got it all trimmed up, but only did I get a ton of compliments from dude coworkers, but I got hit on by an attractive woman at a gas station, the first time in 32 freaking years any woman has hit on me without knowing me for awhile first. She called me "cute as hell" and asked if I was married. I think she must've been drunk off her rear end at 2pm  For reference:  I also got a new car today, the first brand-new car I've ever bought, bringing the fleet total to 6, of which 4 run. (It's a boring-rear end Chevy Bolt) Also the thing I build at work, after 3 months of insane overtime and overcoming an insane number of technical issues, fired up successfully for the first time today. Stopped by the office on my way home from getting the car to pick up a few hundred bucks in "good job!" Awards for my team that I get to surprise them with at our team BBQ tomorrow. I realize that this past seems kinda braggy, but I'm kinda having a good time right now, it's a weird feeling. E: slidebite posted:I do not think I've ever heard that phrase before I agree with it, it's kinda nice feeling to get a good, fresh razor shave in, for about 5 minutes before all the sharp rear end hairs start imbedding themselves in my neck and it hurts and sucks and I've been dealing with it for my entire adult life. I will never shave voluntarily ever again. I've used straight razors, safety razors, disposable and cartridge razors with 1 blade or 7, no matter what my curly lovely neckbeard immediately starts loving up the flesh it came from. Gillette Mach 3 with Cremo shave butter is the best razor shave combo for daily use I ever found, btw. Elviscat fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Sep 24, 2022 |

Have you been using an after shave? The 5 minutes before sharp rear end hairs embedding themselves is what's throwing me for a loop, your skin should be moisturized after a shave and should feel amazing for a good while. Kinda sounds like you get razor burn? A splash of cold water followed by a nice moisturizing after shave product and your face should feel like a baby's bottom.
