More entrepreneurship. Plenty more people would work for themselves or start businesses if they didn't have to worry about healthcare.
Ha! Yes, my husband works out heavy, I am small of bust, and yep he is more stacked than I am.
We think it's funny though and small boobs is his preference, nice for me.
He does say though that if he could go back in time he would tell his younger middle aged self not to bulk, just focus on strength. Having put on the weight, he cannot seem to lose it and now wants to be leaner as he gets older. It's not practical to maintain that much muscle mass, and if you try to ramp down you usually end up fat not smaller.
Perfect, thank you!
No, I don't get that. Maybe you are just hanging out in serious communities?
I see plenty of silly stuff.
CrawSahnt is how I would transliterate the American pronunciation. With the emphasis on the second syllable. I would not usually order one by saying Kwasahn.
I do order the chocolate ones by asking for pan chocolat, though. Pain Chocolate!
No, sex should not hurt. Does it hurt when you put in a tampon?
A couple of things to think about. One, yes the skin can be too tight, that can ease with time. Two, if you are not warmed up and turned on, you won't have a good time. Lube does not substitute for arousal, arousal makes room and slip, lube only makes slip. Three, penetrative sex has always felt good not bad to me but only started feeling Really Good after I'd had kids and wasn't so tight structurally.
Maybe for now do things that don't involve penetration, and talk to your GYN - you should do that before having sex anyway, to discuss birth control, etc.
El fronsch!
Jesuchristo, a year?
I would never advise that. It's fine to enjoy sex. Some guys are more into chasing and just want a challenge, lose interest once you fuck - I don't want a guy who likes chasing, I want a guy who likes sex with me. I don't want the first time to be the best time either. That long buildup then a letdown is too big a risk to gamble a year on.
I'm old now but still would say a physical relationship is a shallower level than an emotional relationship, and having sex soon into any relationship has worked better to find a good match and, well, at least got me plenty of sex.
Not advising the OP here (She may not even want a physical relationship at all) - just responding to the idea that it's better to wait. In my life I have never found it better to wait.
If you don't count investing.
$2, on a lottery ticket; most I have won is $78. Overall have at least broken even, i think, I don't buy them often, just once had a winning streak of $2, $5, $20, then the $78, all on the same numbers that came from a fortune in fortune cookie I got twice in a row in two different cities that said
"Battle the enemy as long as there is life."
If you count investing, 17k, my 401k was halved in a crash at the same time I was laid off from my first real job.
I think that's not because of alcohol - I am a light drinker (3 a week, or less) now and it's because my life is better and I am healthier and not as stressed or poor. I can drink not daily because I'm not an addictive sort of person. Yeah my health is better now than the years I didn't drink but it's because I have more money, can get medical care, have time to exercise too, all the benefits of the easier lifestyle we finally reached.
I don't think it's so harmful, nor helpful, always take July & December as dry months and see no difference in how I feel.
I know that's anecdotal, but unless they are controlling for income and overall lifestyle, my guess is that light drinking is an indication of a healthy moderate sort of lifestyle not an actual healthy factor in one.
1.5 oz rye (Emerald Giant overproof)
0.5oz each of mezcal, Aperol, and Ancho Reyes (rojo)
1 oz lemon juice
Squirt of agave
Shake all with ice, and I would say serve up in a coupe but it's summer, still 90f at 19:00. So I'm having it on ice, and just enjoying the hot weather.
Variation on a Devil's Soul. It would benefit from a float of the Heirloom Pineapple Amaro (and being served up), but had enough oddball ingredients I didn't want to add another. But if you have it, go for it.
2 oz bourbon
3/4 oz lemon
3/4 oz peach liqueur (I used apricot)
2 oz ginger beer
Sprig of mint for muddling and one more for garnish. I used mojito mint, it barely survived our double tap freeze, so it was fresh from the garden.
Mix the first 3 ingredients then use a little of that mix to muddle the mint, then put in the rest & shake with ice, top with ginger beer.
Had to pull out the kitchen scale because all my measuring cups are in the dishwasher. I assume grams are ml but not sure so giving weights here.
50g vodka
25g Mastiha
15g Chartreuse
20g lemon juice
Was meh. I shook some of it with the peel of the lemon, that helped some. Not willing to toss it with the Chartreuse so I spritzed it by adding a bottle of yuzu lime tonic, it's good now but not what I was after.
I was looking for something to do with the mastiha, and had half a lemon but vodka was not the right base for this, I was not feeling gin today, wishing I had grappa or pisco, and I think lime also would have been better than lemon.
But mastiha & Chartreuse - yes. A definite affinity.
Posting because it's so pretty!
2oz bourbon (Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond)
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz Aperol
1 oz Amaro Nonino
Spoonful of Campari
Shaken with ice and poured over new ice in a frozen glass, then parked in the freezer for 5 minutes because summer is here and it's 32C, 90F outside so everything has to be cooled. But beefed up with the extra whiskey and the Campari it's fine to be diluted a little, better than warm.
Kitten for scale.
1 oz tequila claro
1 oz good mezcal
1/2 oz St Germain
1/2 oz Amaro Nonino
1 oz lemon (was too much so a squirt of agave, would change that to 1/2 oz)
Shake all with ice, and if it wasn't so hot, serve up in a coupe.
The kitten was found in our neighbor's car. Less than one pound, fearless little guy. Currently passed out on my lap. We call him Legolas.
Not drinking on weekdays but as my youngest kid is making us supper, I have time for an aperitif.
4oz tepache
4oz light tonic
2oz of the spicy seasonal Publix lemonade (Yuzu/pineapple/habanero - either this is so successful they keep making it or I'm the only one buying it but I think it's the best one they ever made)
It's good. A little spicy, a little bitter and very refreshing.
I often use the big mixer with the dough hook because I don't have time, but the no kneading just mix, rest for 15-45 minutes then stretch & fold every half hour is so pleasant. Feeling the dough develop, getting lighter and stronger each time, not really counting the rounds because it tells me when it's ready to be left alone to rise. It's a very enjoyable process, and more reliable for me than a more standardized method.
2 oz fresh pineapple juice
2 oz overproof bourbon (or one with strong flavor)
1 oz amaretto (I used Adriatico)
1/2 oz pineapple amaro
1 oz lemon
Squeeze of agave syrup - if your amaretto is traditional & sweet, omit this, and add a tiny pinch of fine salt.
Shake everything with ice, pour over fresh ice.
It's really good, but I think would be better with a drizzle of syrup from amaretto cherries and a garnish of the same, and probably better with a sweeter amaro. I don't have either right now. But honestly pineapple and whiskey is hard to mess up. It's good.
Yes I moved the glass off the magazine right after the picture.
2 oz Glenglassaugh
0.5 oz Galliano
0.5 oz Giffard Abricot
1 oz lemon
1 inch piece ginger
Small spoonful brown sugar
Shake everything with ice, strain into a glass over new ice. Very nice! Galliano is underrated.
Breakfast Cafe con leche, sometimes with toast or oatmeal but always the coffee. Not right away, usually 3 hours after I get up.
Lunch usually leftovers from last night's supper, if there isn't any then a salad or sandwich or whatever the special is in the work cafe
Supper I cook so whatever I want. This week I have food to make one spaghetti day, one day steak & tomatoes marinated in preserved lemon and soy sauce, one day shrimp and pineapple skewers, one day halal chicken, one day beans, rice, and greens from the garden. There is no usual. Different stuff all the time.
Sometimes I bake too, this weekend making sourdough donuts.
