Fat Ralphy checking in here folks..... I intend to use this thread to document and motivate my efforts for health and fitness. My hopes are that putting myself out there and being accountable to the forum will help me stay on point. Over the last two years I have packed on approx. 50 lbs - stress and injuries have made it hard to get on track. My plan is as follows - get my eating in check, post my meals here and document meal prep. Increase my activity - I currently train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a few times a week but I want to add some lifting, biking, swimming and cardio. Today i weighed in at 305 lbs - my goal weight …

Ok so, I am kinda (well aktchoo-ull-ie) flirting with a sista and she is ok with it to point she knows I am interested in her by giving me signs that she is interested in me as well by welcoming my advances. My thing is that I have never dated a black women (had the opportunity years ago with another sista) before and I am curious to know if anyone of you Oontzers have dated out side your race? I have dated an Asian and Puerto Rican but never a black woman. Anyhow, this week I plan to take it a step further and exchange numbers so we can spend time together. Any experiences yinz could share that I may be oblivious to?

any thoughts on what constitutes having a drinking problem? i binge drink alot, and find that after three beers i crave more and more, so normally if i know i can only have one beer, i wont even drink it, cuz it will just make me feel like shit. I dont put alcohol ahead of my responsiblities like work or school, and i refuse to drink when the sun is out, unless i'm at like a BBQ or something. But i find myself drinking alot more regularly, out of the past 5 days i drank everyday, and got drunk 4 out of the 5.

I got interested in this a few years ago when my wife’s grandmother was diagnosed with liver cancer. The treatment she was receiving wasn’t really doing a whole lot so we started making THC infused honey for her to consume I’m conjunction with her treatment. Mysteriously a few months later they couldn’t find cancer in her liver anymore. I think it traveled to her lungs or possibly even started in her lungs. once that was discovered they put her on a different treatment and she is now in complete remission/cancer free. I can’t help but think our medicine played a small part in killing the cancer in her liver seeing as how her initial treatment wasn’t doing any…

So, I wanted to show my effort in not reproducing a topic that may already be here and decided to conduct a search for automobile/*cars *(the ones you drive, not the ones for paint) out of forum courtesy to the oonzers, moderators, owner(s) of 12oz and the serves themselves. I didn't find a topic relating to an Automobile Buyers Guide, so I decided to create one for those who are serious and have questions or need feedback from project car, general DIY Maint. , ownership cost, and any other pros and cons of vehicles you owned or are currently driving. This maybe a lame topic to some, and yes, I could have taken it fb or some other stupid social platform where…

Let's see some pictures of your aquariums. I've got 2 reef tanks with salt water fish and corals in them at home. Digital cameras suck for taking pictures of them because of the amount of blue needed to make the colors show up well in the corals..... so I don't have any fantastic pictures. I will post some soon, however. Please post pictures of your aquariums, names of your fish, and stories about your aquariums and what got you into being an aquarist. I have: 2x Black Ice Extreme Clown fish (mated pair) in the 14G tank - Gucci and Louis 1x female lawnmower blenny in the 14G tank - Penny 1x male lawnmower blenny in the 35G tank - Lenny 1x coral beauty…

Breaking can be seen as one of those events. Climbing, skateboarding and surfing also added. it’s cool they are leaving towards sports that are fun and lighthearted, instead of combat sports.

Alright guys, I'm sure we have a cooking thread somewhere, or maybe even a bbq thread somewhere.... but it's 2019, almost 2020 and it's time for something fresh. Please share your favorite places to get bbq and/or other types of meats. Whether it's a butcher shop you love, a local hole in the wall food joint you love, or a product you can buy at your local store. @Fist 666mentioned he liked Texas Pete bbq sauce in another thread, and @Hua Guofanghad some experiences here in Austin, TX to speak about. Recently, @Kultswas telling me about the Portuguese chicken that is common in his area, I had never heard of it. I'd love to hear any drunk stories…

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Gold is off the charts right now. It's about to hit a G. I kick myself in the ass for not backing the truck up to the gold factory back in '04. I watch the prices of Gold everyday hoping for it to take a dive so I can jump in and buy up a gang of ounces, but it keeps climbing. (probably the wrong forum for this , but) Anyone else know any good investments?

Hopefully someone else here has a drawing or coloring habit. I recently decided to start coloring and drawing again as a hobby with being quarantined and all, oh covid. Thought it would be nice to share some new simple things I have picked up that have worked out very impressively for me, and see if anyone else has found anything worth looking into. My most recent purchase I was thoroughly impressed with was this set of gel pens. Found it quite amusing that these have come back to be popular after all these years, as I used them in elementary school and then they died off. Either way found these on Amazon and listening to some reviews taking a chance, very hap…

Storing your Kerry’s Gold butter correctly will help keep it extra-fresh for as long as possible. To achieve this, the key is to minimize contact with air and moisture. For example, try wrapping it tightly in heavy duty foil or plastic wrap - this helps to ensure that any odors and flavors from your fridge don't transfer onto the butter. Alternatively, you could even place the butter in a small air-tight glass container. Be sure to always store it in the coldest part of your refrigerator; otherwise, it may begin to soften and go off before its recommended expiration date. With these few steps, you can keep your Kerry’s Gold butter happily shelf-stable longer! T…

As most of my friends and many an ex girlfriend can attest to, I'm what you might call a gambling addict. In fact you would probably call me just that. I've moved on from blackjack which I learned never really pays that well, to poker which I'm much more fond of and actually win money at. So if you're like me, and you're a gambling addict, let us know what your game is, how you're doing and a bad beat story if you have one. Thank you. On a related note I took this homo with a tongue ring for close to 100 dollars tonight... Yeee Haw... Milton Rules

I wanted to start this thread because of a discussion we're having among the leadership team of the forum concerning data privacy. I do a few things that keep people from knowing who I am and where I am. I will share these things with you all in hopes that they benefit you as they've benefited me.

Post 'em... I don't care if there's a 5 year old 600 page thread on the subject already. It's 2017. I've got two bikes, both BMX. I will post them soon when I can get you all some sweet pix with my iphone. I'd like to one day get into downhill mt. biking but my propensity to steer myself from mediocrity puts the bike I'd want in the 5-8k dollar price range. I won't buy something that's "ok" to get by for now until I can get something better. If you don't want to post your bike, lets hear some of your cycling stories, I know there's a lot of people on this site that bike.

So I decided after 22 yrs in the nail industry-I was fed up with people and knew my brain was not getting used as much as I knew it was capable of so I went home ‘sick’ early from the shop and attended the home and garden show where I saw a cool display which lead me to grab a brochure. I looked into this ‘training center’ and read it was free (like legit no cost) and set the appt up for the beginning stages of several interviews and testing process to enroll. I missed the cut off of the class(20 per class) they were getting ready to begin and had to wait until the next session which began the end of January. A seven month class with a four externship after to complete t…

I am selling my old Yaris to a friend by the end of the month and planning to apply for a car loan so I can upgrade to Corolla within the year. However, she suggested to get a Nissan Versa instead. When I checked the latest Versa, I immediately fell in love with it, lol. Now, I can't decide what to get, haha. So, may I please have some of your opinions/recommendations. And also, I am still looking for a financing firm for my car loan application . If you also know a good company(preferably Downtown Diego or nearby areas) that offers low interest rates, please feel free to drop a line. Thanks!

Though culinary arts (Home Ec) is still largely offered in high school and despite the ability to cook being a life skill, it's amazing to see how few people really know how to cook / bake. Granted, as a kid I had pretty limited tastes, had a mom that was always whipping stuff up (whether you were hungry or not) and had no interest in the subject, I've definitely found myself appreciating it more as an adult. When living in NYC, it was tough to get into since it was (ironically) often more expensive to shop and cook a meal at home than even a decent restaurant. Out where I live now, quality meat is crazy cheap as are most produce and groceries. Still can be a little costl…
