  1. How old are your kids @Dnaguy ? Until the kids are teenagers it’s really fucking hard. Kids hang on mom and demand from her in ways you can’t really imagine or fully understand even when you witness it. That shit wears moms down, even the best moms. And the bad moms, it can be worse, they do less and are demolished by the demands even more. And I haven’t mentioned full time working moms yet. Holy shit that is an impossible task. And I think these demands on her that have nothing to do with you can really cloud a marriage. I think it’s super shitty your vulnerability was met with disdain, I think that’s awful, but I imagine she’s full on care taking. I think what I see from my guy friends is similar to what you express, deep feelings of neglect and need, and unfortunately all she feels is another human that needs her to be the emotional rock. It’s not a death sentence for your marriage but it does seem that for most marriages, until the kids are full on teenagers, the marriage and the adults in the room often run at a consistent deficits. You do the best you can, you try for nights like you just had and you hold on always trying to cut your partner some slack and hope she does the same. But I’ll tell you this, the more of the load she feels is up to her that you can carry the more she’s going to turn back toward you, assuming it’s not all lost (and if she’s fucking you I have a hard time seeing it all lost). But your time line and the timeline that is realistic may not match. It’s also possible work and motherhood will break her. I know some that have fallen in the alcoholism hole, or worse. So it’s not guaranteed to get better. So, I’m not here to tell you what to do, but together or divorced your and her lives will get much easier when the kids get older. What that looks like for each of you (whether this period breaks you or not) and your marriage is an open question.
  2. muscle weight don't care about and I'm not sure how much is that. weight gain is 10 lbs though, and my waist is definitely noticing as certain active skirts/skorts i wear are getting a tad tight. trainer said some protein before a work out - like 1 hour before - then protein (example she gave was apple and peanut butter) right after a work out to stave off the ravenous hunger that comes. basically eat right before and right after a work out. she also thinks my appetite will calm down in a few weeks. she's less nutrition than work out though, but she's so effing fit, she knows something. I do this spinach, banana, peanut butter, fig, vanilla, oat milk smoothie and I think I'm going to cut the peanut butter and add peanut butter flavored protein powder. I think I'm going to just ramp up protein consumption. really am open to thoughts. i'm feeling as good as I've felt in 7-8 years now 12 weeks in. it's amazing. i feel strong, confident, capable, my energy level has sky rocketed and I"m happy. but damn my appetite is like either a pregnant woman or a teenage boy or both right now.
  3. We have 378 ounces and we’d like it in gold too, but I think gold has taken off and until it settles down some I feel like the ship has sailed. I think $35-38 is the target for year end so it’s not like silver will be a bad investment. But damn it’s a PIT mass wise. We aren’t sure what we are going to do, for now keep it all. But honestly the cost of carry for physical metals makes zero sense (even if you store yourself the sales discount) unless you love it as a hobby or believe the risk of an apocalypse is more than theoretical. Since we inherited it we will enjoy the novelty and the feeling of security of the tangible stuff. And in that regard silver is going to be an easier currency to use. but that’s not your question instead how we are thinking. We should cashed out sub $3000 and bought into gold. We didn’t. I think gold is much more likely to run up in value. I do also think it will come back down and if you buy too high you can be stuck for a decade at that high price. The chart shows it.
  4. Kinda unreal… 4 full games up on arky and LSU.
  5. I’m with Hobbes there’s no margin for error Friday and Saturday. The good news though is we have the arms for that approach and we have 6 more series / tournaments before the supers to find next man up for the third spot. I’m cautiously optimistic.
  6. Step 3 catch the ball?
  7. that was some fucked up aggy impersonation bullshit there
  8. Unless you can get two innings out of both for two games to win the series. Tough call imo.
  9. And because we’re Texas you fucking maroon morans
  10. Was that a two strike bunt ?
  11. What I wouldn’t give to be 22 again …. Nah.
  12. I just don’t like making great contact and it’s all right to them, that shit has a way of fucking a team in ways you don’t like.
  13. Me too 😬
  14. Yeah that’s concerning
  15. Don’t joke about that shit That’s bad ass
  16. Clear in the second, we gonna slap his ass in the middle innings and run his ass out of there.
  17. HALP! okay 12 weeks in, bad ass, HIIT/weights/hard tennis x2 a week, going up one more weights session that will end up 5 days a week and then I’m back to my early 40s with a flex day where I’m active but not working out, and only one day where I blah out. 3 sets of everything, personal trainer etc (she will help with my next question). so it’s all great right? UGH, I cannot stop eating, I’m fucking ravenous, like stuffing my face and still hungry. i gotta get a hold of this - what’s the deal? What’s the plan? What’s the way to not gain 20 fucking pounds here? last time around I was 10 years younger so it wasn’t as big of a deal weight wise. This time I’m in trouble.
  18. Those kids are getting gaslighted by their dads and they don’t even know it yet. Fuck them hoes.
  19. Gates open
  20. This shit pisses me off.
  21. Get a pic of his license and put his shit on blast
  22. Thank you. Sitting in the car near DFF with my momma watching the ladies now.
  23. the interesting discussion in the show was around negative vs positive rights and our Constitution is a negative right document for the most part. many modern Constitutions have positive rights - health care is a right, abortion, protection, etc. ours is not that way and the Court has had to struggle with defining positive rights through the equal protection and due process clauses. I found that discussion interesting. The 9th amendment was front and center along with the 14th...
