Ive lived alone for 7 years. In that time I've gotten a career, two cats, halfway restored a ranchero, got a motorcycle, got in shape, picked up guitar, and got in tune with myself, just to name a few.

Ive been single for 4 of that with no intimacy in over 2.5. I dont have contact with my family because of how the majority of them treated me. I know being alone isnt a bad thing, but at a certain point am I just too busted to be desired?

Things like a drivetrain swap, painting my car, and learning a new song on guitar all feel hollow with no partner to share them with. They feel good because Im aware they aren't easy tasks, but when i spend 6 hours figuring out why my motor isnt working, I would kill to have a partner to go "I did it! Check this out, this is what I did!"

I dont have the best luck with dating. I tend to admit that I like the person and for whatever reason thats not what people like to hear. My last relationship cheated on me with her ex, the one prior used me to move to a different state, and I haven't had the best luck since then. I miss getting to know another person without a catch. The last woman I talked to said she cared about me, then the next day ghosted me for another man. I found out by seeing them in person holding hands. She still hasn't apologized and I dont expect her to. Ive since blocked her.

I've done everything a man "is supposed to do" shy of buying a house, and while i dont feel lost, I'm exhausted.

People say "28 isn't that old, you have plenty of time to meet someone!" But I'm not sure i feel that's true anymore. I'm grateful ive remained sober in all of this, having not drank or smoked anything in 1y 7m, but man is it tempting due to the accessibility.

That said, I enjoy my space. The solace of silence is hard to overlook. Its been mine and mine alone for a long time and I haven't had a roommate since I was 19. I got to decorate my space as I wanted, and I think I could have done worse.

They're 5 years old, I cant be too mad about this only being my second resole

Next up, graphics. Going for a ww1/2 wla bf1 bike

Regardless of the angle of the cans, people where going to complain about it. I like it, im leaving it that way :)

Was originally red but I got it rattle canned black. Currently making it my own. Planning on getting some stencils in ww2 army font too

Its a Buescher from what I think is pre selmer. Needs a receiver soldered on, a new mouthpiece and a screw retrieved and replaced from the back.

So this girl I started talking to has one of these bikes, I know nothing about motorcycles but want to be involved in her hobby. She did a fender eliminator on the thing today but she isnt particularly pleased with the outcome. What other options are there for these bikes?

I wake up in the middle of the night clawing it. I dont know what to do. I'm not sure what this is but I feel like i have tiny ants burning my inner legs, back of calves and behind my arms. Is this just my life now? Its spreading and I feel gross

I haven't had sex in over 3 years so I have extreme doubts that its scabies but no otc creams are helping

Both legs are like this and now the back of my arm and calves are too. I went to a dermatologist a couple months ago and they gave me a steroid cream that worked very briefly but now it's back full swing

I change my sheets weekly, rotate through multiple work pants and shirts a week, use a different wash cloth daily, don't wear underwear twice and am overall fairly hygienic. I haven't dated in a long time but I can't imagine this is attractive to any women out there and it's a big hit my in self confidence. I'm not really sure what to do and I feel gross

Lived alone 7 years, no gf, very few friends, weird work schedule. Just me, my cats, my car and the path to bodybuilding. Almost been in the gym a year as of May 14th

Looking into getting a pair of Sendra but ive never purchased European sizing before

My 22 prius xle has been a decent car since I got it to replace my f150 back in August. I haven't had to put a single dollar into mechanical repairs and its been cheaper overall than almost every vehicle ive owned other than my paid off 2000 celica. (Ex convinced me to scrap it, still upset about it) purchased at 83k miles, currently at 101k

My biggest issue w the car is a lack of a spare wheel and tire. Im aware that the car is heavy, and they wanted to save cost but ive blown out two tires and been late to work twice over it. I fixed that today. Went on tire rack, got the cheapest wheel/tire combo i could, and now im at least prepared. It hopefully will never need used. I'm a plumber so getting where I need to is very important. I go on a lot of gravel and pothole ridden areas and may ditch the 17s altogether in favor of 15s

The other car is my toy/truck. It's a 74 ranchero w a 4v 351c and a built c6, aces efi, blue thunder intake, painted it myself a couple weeks ago

I have an aces efi ks2 on a 351c. It ran great until yesterday. I killed the battery, jumped it, drove it home, parked it, went inside. Tried driving it an hour later and now it wont work. One light stays on w key and its been inactive otherwise. I watched one light dim out and never turn back on.

Says connect time out. I tried jumping wires and getting reads for various systems and can get things like the fuel pump to fire but it isnt working naturally.

If the pdm is receiving signal, and the screen still fires up, but the rest isnt working, does that mean theres an issue with my ecu?

I dont need a "rip that thing off and put a carb on". This thing was working fantastic until that happened but I'm at a loss
