I'll be around here for a few days. Any recommendations for good family Italian food? And if there's a good Chicago style pizza joint near I'll give that a chance too.

I read an article about Tom Brady that sorta changed my life. In this article he of course talks about his diet, chia seeds and fruit smoothies, but also how he would have a piece of pizza, bacon or candy on sparingly occasion if he wants to. He says something like "Train for your 50s in your 40s" there's no way I remember it word for word. There's a story later on about Charles Barkley catching him jogging in the parking lot of a golf charity and asking what the hell he's doing.

I'm not an athlete by any stretch of any imagination but after reading this article, I started taking my health a lot more serious as I was approaching 40, I just want to find it and get some of my quotes straight because I repeat it a lot to people.

It was a major publication I guess, might be behind a paywall now. Anyway thanks in advance to anyone who may help find it or something similar.

I put maybe 1/4 quart too much in my 2ZZ engine elise. The level is about 4mm above the high mark on the dip stick. Not having much luck with an extractor in the dipstick tube.

Would you worry about this, am I being paranoid here?

They are like a duckling that wandered into a chicken coop.

I get it, best movements in the industry and exceptional craftsmanship and detailing. But at the end of the day it just looks like a fancier Seiko 5. Some of their co-branding like Nissan GT-R edition also robs the brand of it's traditional, no nonsense demeanor.

anyway, 4 dollars a pound

I've had a lot on my mind lately. What are the chances Minn Matrone actually knew of Paulie's true origins? She was lifelong friend with Mama Nucci and surely people out and about the neighborhood, especially in a gossip driven place like New Jersey, found it suspicious she up and had a new baby without showing any obvious signs of carrying one before hand.

It's a brilliant double entendre, as Paulie was probably always out causing some kind of trouble from the moment he could walk but he is, infact, a bastard child and never knew his father.

It's further interesting that his father "Russ" was a solider, and Paulie served in U.S. Army Signal Corps for 4 years likely in his late teens/early 20s - still formative years. Yet somehow not one iota of this is shown in his candor or discipline especially when he stepps even a few feet off pavement.

How much more betrayal could he take?

It's a real shame Lexus upset so many customers with the new and very different ES. I think that new crown based model should have been the EX and the ES carried forward as hybrid only with that V6 being discontinued itself across the entire Toyota lineup (except the IS but that's a different schtory).

Would this arrangement have been ok for you?

Has anyone else here been told this , or any experience along these lines?

Personally, I well up with rage at being advised this cynical rubbish.

EDIT: This advice was given by a psychologist/therapist. (!!)

Carmella is talking shit about Meadow going to Europe and meeting a guy "You want her to marry a foreigner?" and Tony's comeback is actually him validating her chasing after fucking Furio ("look at Furio, what's so bad about him?)". The resulting stare at this point, this show is pure comedy.

This episode concludes so effectively. Furio knocks on the guy's door, he answers. They merely exchange glances: Furio is extremely neutral and direct while Armagnac guy is only slightly inquisitive or surprised and then it cuts.

Knowing Furio's ability to instantly invoke brutal violence, how do you supposed repayment of Tony's money played out.?

Given the response, he technically did "headline" one already but siriusly: our guy has the starpower for it, if his recent Jay-Z cameo is any hint. But would they want him to do it? Would he want to? Would there be a significance to this?

And of course, what songs would one expect? I'm thinking the more introspective, and positive numbers entirely post MMLP. He will probably bring out a few of the Aftermath crew in tow, specifically 50 cent (this could cause some upset) and maybe crossover with a surprise artist or just Ed Sheeran.

Eminem's "Satanic" persona seems to have ended with D12 world (after skipping The Eminem Show entirely). I really enjoyed this kind of reckless instigation. How about you? What was your favorite Satanic Eminem moment?

I'm confused.

You KendrickSexuals know you want to say it!

Growing up, family life was rough, lots of bullying all around and I never developed much agency or confidence. Bullying went on throughout my adulthood at work too because I thought it was acceptable to just play along. I also hated being alone so accepted it as the cost. Life is mostly about tolerating and surviving the current dilemma and and then finding a prize at the end of the struggle. I'm kind of a "Lone Wolf" but I have a few close friends and am in a sports car club but otherwise I mostly keep to myself. I have my own place on the other side of town from my folks. Once some kind of ice is broken, I hold conversation really well with people in general (less so these days as isolation has been worse than prior years and I tend to interrupt people a lot for some reason) and in the past have had some women friends stick around unusually close for a few years only to cast me aside when they go back to dating or their lives.

I've become extremely used to being alone but also know inside that it's not how I as a person am truly built. I also know that lonely people are at risk for dying early due to lifestyle choices and because of that I work out a lot at home (I'm not a gym person and at 115 lbs, I don't want to tolerate that environment either) and try to have a balanced diet (still working on that). My folks are in their 80s and worry about me being alone, but I tell them I'm dedicated to remaining healthy and sustaining my existence. I occupy my time by maintaining my vehicles, cooking, cleaning, laundry, ironing, gardening, furniture building, repairing stuff and stuff on reddit. My life has developed habits which keep me isolated, I admit this.

I tried a speed dating a few times in my 30s, I just can't get into apps because I just think it's super corny and so much weird stuff goes on. Timeleft seems like an interesting idea.

Anyway, curious for your thoughts.

Peace.
