FWIW, the ivermectin cream helps some. I used straight ivermectin a couple times and a blend with things which restrict blood vessels.

My dermatologist also put me on a low dose blood pressure med to help with flushing and I think that helped.

Mine kind of comes and goes so it’s hard to say what’s a magic bullet.
Congratulations!! Great run. Perhaps cash out and buy Christmas presents. I wish I had. My kids are getting handmade cards this year because dad couldn’t stop live betting.

I get what you’re saying, but usually women like this don’t have great/attentive fathers. They also usually have been in limited relationships with crappy men. They don’t know what a “good” guy looks like so they create a fictional perfect guy.

I’ve been a member for about 20 years because my wife’s mom married a fbi agent. I feel kind of bad about being a member so I don’t complain when they jack up our rates (I feel like they know I shouldn’t be here).

I'm betting on this. She maybe thought he wasn't 25 but she probably never thought someone would be this bold with a 14 year old boy.

All these are quality. Probably the best time to start putting salary increases towards retirement/investment instead of lifestyle creep.

I dated a couple girls who were taller than me when I was younger and really never thought about it as an issue at all. I think it’s probably a bigger issue for women than most men.

I don’t think my wife would have been interested if I was shorter than her.

It sounds like you should probably start referring to this gentleman as your mom’s new husband instead of as your stepdad.

I would think the divorce rate for a couple like this has to be several times higher than the average divorce rate.

This. My biggest problem is similar. I can usually not nail down a proper cite for what AI is telling me from the list of resources it cites as authority for its conclusion.
That's a shame. Netflix has a good limited series where basically the same thing happens (besides the daughter convinces the mom and they both do it). The Netflix series is called "Apple Cider Vinegar".

I’m gonna die from my chronic pancreatitis or literal starvation due to my pancreatic atrophy and cyst within the next dozen years I have been advised. Already have had a couple of near death episodes.

If the pancreas and associated symptoms don’t get me then there’s the splenic portal hypertension with a dozen blood clots the size of my little finger that if I blow a clot it will kill me before an ambulance can arrive. Already have been life flighted to BR with this once.


Wow. I believe you have a more specific answer than most on here. Good luck - I hope you beat the odds.

I have no clue what I will die from. Usually the things that I worry about don't happen and then some random shite I would never have predicted brings me to my knees.
After waiting for a couple minutes, proceeded through a red light because I was stupid and tired of waiting for the light to change.

Black cop pulls me over. I admit I was stupid and apologize. He writes me a ticket and I say that’s fair as I screwed up.

As he starts walking away, I told my very young daughter “What do we say?” and she says “thank you” which is something we had been working on.

Cop stops in his tracks, walks back to my car and says to my daughter - “thank you young lady, that means a lot to me”. He was kind of emotional and asked me for the ticket back and told me not to worry about it.

I figured he either had daughters or just was really tired of being treated poorly.

Either way, I think the world of that police officer.

I’m glad for her soon to be ex-husband they have her behavior on record.


This guy I feel sorry for. The husband wasn’t surprised at all.

The woman acted like an entitled brat. The deputy handled the situation well for the most part but dragging her out the car roughly for the pen toss seemed excessive. Also, pretty stupid to call this a felony assault. There should be some misdemeanor being a jerk ticket instead.

She is not a bad looking woman - especially for having three kids. The deputy kind of starts searching her after the arrest but then stops because I think he’s aware it’s a bad look on a decent looking woman not wearing a lot of layers. The best part was the deputy saying he would take the cuffs off is she promised not to get “erotic” (he meant erratic but it was a fruedian slip).

re: Empty nesters hobbies

Posted by Garfield on 7/26/25 at 12:08 am to
I don’t look forward to the empty nester time. I lift weights and walk the dog but the rest of my hobbies /interests are vices which doesn’t sound like a recipe for success as one ages.

I think it’s hard to replace the structure and purpose that raising a family brings a man (as a side topic, I think our society devaluing fathers has led to a lot of problems for everyone because of this truth).

I’ve heard from several retired folks that grandkids are awesome and fit the gap.

Getting into cooking sounds like a decent plan (as good as anything else). If you don’t have a dog, that’s worth a shot too.

I think it’s probably important to connect with other men you like too (regardless of the hobby) but that’s not always easy.

Good luck. I’ll be in the same boat soon enough and don’t have a lot of answers. I might just end up being that old guy in the office everyone wonders why he doesn’t retire.

I’m not an LSU fan but this is the closest to what I would want so far in the answers.

We live in the best time in history relative to quality of life so I don’t think I would want to go too far back in time.

I’d probably just pick some young dominate athlete from a good family (e.g., a more attractive/richer Scottie Scheffler).

Edit: Paul Skenes would be another good choice.
