We also learned "Left to Right math" where after some work, you could do a lot of stuff mentally very quickly....although I have forgotten the concepts now.

When we were kids, every night at the dinner table, my father would pick one of us (4 siblings) and call out a number. We had to do the multiplication tables to the beat of his hand on the table. Talk about pressure. I'll be damned, we can do math on the fly. And my father, still at 80, can run his finger down a page with 30, 40 numbers on it and total faster than any calculator.

Oh man it seems like i'd do great in retail after yesterday
went to chase to deposit my jar of coins, mostly pennies. they didn't have a coin counter so they made me count it (i had lots of time yesterday, first day of classes), spending an hour counting literal pennies will teach you a lot |

This. Parents are a proxy for the world, and the world has no mercy for weaklings or dolts.

And the second thing I did was put everything under the microscope - stuff out of the fridge and kitchen cupboards, dead bugs, dog hair...I was a strange child. But focused as a mf-er.
The mercury didn't affect me at all. The third eye on the side of my head gives me hella peripheral vision. Blindspots? Nope.

I've been told there are two things that keep women from wanting to have sex with their partner. The first is they are Tired. And yes, I meant that with a capital t. Having a young child to take care of can certainly tire her out. Step up and take said child out of her hands for the day and give her some time to sleep. Better yet, take said child for the day and send her to the spa for some rest and relaxation. Do a play date with some of your friends in similar situations. Doing more than "your fair share" pays off big time here. The second is the sex really isn't that good. I'm sure none of these are your problem..... just posting for others that might need help. |

I've been told to lose a few pounds, if I could lose a full stone that would get me trimmed up good I think. Problem is, I really truly hate working out. Really hate it. But if I put my mind to it, I can do it, I just need to be convinced it is important to me. |

I don't need to lose weight...I just need to get fitter and stronger. Thing is though, the dry spell(s) started way before I was out of shape. I was riding 30 miles a day back then, 5 days a week. And to be honest, that was before we had a kid too. But yeah, it'd never hurt for me to be fitter, and actually I really enjoy going for a run or a ride, once I'm doing it. Some motivation missing though - I'm tired from work and toddler and house projects too.
I have talked to her about it, and the best explanation she's given is that I feel like her family, so therefore she doesn't want to have sex with me. Now I understand that link but...what can I do about that? Be less like her family?? Since having the kid too, she's even less inclined. Almost certainly tiredness, which is understandable. But she says its just made her not want it at all. So where to go from here? It drives me crazy not getting any, especially because she's right there. I've absolutely no desire to 'force' her to do it, or demand it...but then I will certainly get none. It's a catch 22. |

One of the reasons I own my cabin is that there's a fair bit of wooded land and some shoreline there, and I can't stand for things to be messy so I always have work to do. I don't keep every square inch looking like a golf course, but I like it clean at least adjacent to the parts I/we spend time in. Last Saturday I tied a plastic toboggan up to my fatbike and loaded it up with a chainsaw, a gas can, a maul, and a couple of wedges. Pedalled out into the woods to a spot where there was a tree that was dead and leaning against another. Felled it and bucked it, and piled the brush up and called it a day. Got up Sunday and pulled all the chunks back to the splitting shed, one toboggan load at a time - about 2 cords total, so it took me most of the day. This weekend I'll split it all. Silly? Yup. But very rewarding and great all-body exercise. And I didn't have to mingle with a bunch of hairy sweaty douche-nozzles at some poser emporium.
