Timmah!

Happy birthday buddy. Why, come on down to the cellar!

I know. As was I. (My dad wore Old Spice) First scent a lady ever bought me was in 9th grade. Chaps by Ralph Lauren.

Well, I'm not tryin' to turn-on other dudes; so there's that. You do you, tho, bro; no judgment here!

I mean, I can't help but smile after wearing this for only 2 hours. The scent bubble in which you're immersed is amazingly decadent. Very enjoyable; the Cardamon, cedar in the dry-down, after the Bergamot opening is so mellow. You could be completely ignorant to scents & know, when smelling this, that it is quality.

Here's the website. Nice, quality fragrances. You keep an eye out, you can save 25% on purchases, usually on the weekends. https://theduabrand.com/

This is! These are. The La Nuit, of course; but the inspiration scent from DUA is even more appealing. Given that YSL watered their shit down, & that the DUA is an Extrait De Parfum & not an EDT. At $50/ 30 ML (Oz) it's a better value. It has considerablel staying power.

Yes, it could be both. One needn't preclude the other. A stinky, excited Rob. Kinda scary, actually.

Two words: Grape Jelly.

Yep; it takes like 15 minutes for your brain & stomach to coordinate the status of satiation; so the slow eating allows time for you to feel full before overeating. That & a sizeable glass of water ~20 min. before I eat, too. Helps with digestion (especially proteins, which require more water).

Yessir, more energy, increased maneuverability; I was just starting to feel the beginnings of waddling in my gait... fuck that. And the pressure on my joints... and my gut getting in the way when I tied my shoes. Skin's complexion is clearer, thinking is, well, pretty good for an Idiot. I mean, if somebody said: "Here, take this 50 lb. backpack & lug it around all day, every day, I'd be like: fuck you, buddy; but that's what I was doing, just with 50 lb. of fat. I remember taking that 1st picture, looking @ it & thinking my head looked like a big pasty bowling ball. Decided then it was time for a change; just a matter of time after that. Chicks be noticing, too. Whereas before, not so much. lol.

The TCL 65R625 is a great monitor for gaming. Low latency 65" of 4K goodness. https://www.cnet.com/news/the-best-tv-for-gaming-in-2020-low-input-lag-high-picture-quality/#listicle-45401001-efb3-444d-94d6-5434d026c1a7

Why, of course. That, & cutting down on carbs.... and moving around 12-15 hrs./day. And a modest protocol of push-ups, crunches, squats, yadda, yadda.

tl:dr

Get In The Van!!

P.S. .... fu @Sourtap & @TheDrimpXI You & your shitty Dutch internet.

It takes discipline, surely. Working on the Grubhub & D00rdash platforms, delivering 10-12 hrs/day other peoples' food. You'd be surprised how quickly cutting carbs out of one's diet can facilitate weight loss... & how much you miss carbs when you step into a Fazoli's to grab an order & you car ends up smelling like wonderful, pillowy, fresh garlic bread sticks. That, & I'm moving around too much to have time to stuff my face.

Nothing wrong with a little struggle snuggle now & then. It's the 'men's' room @ Target anyway, does it really count?

It was either that, or buy a training bra.

...in about 7 months. First forty was steady; then I plateaued... I think it because of gained muscle mass that the weight loss slowed most recently. Down from 237 or so in early January, to a more reasonable 186 now. ?

Lol, I drive a manual, so... I'm not crashing over a couple of fries. I'm nice to the folks @ the restaurants I visit most frequently. Buy them Bags of Hershey's mini chocolates, or mini Snickers. They, in turn, keep me in soda & such.
