  1. Nowadays there are no decent barbers in my area, though I still visit a nearest hair salon to trim my scalp. I'm doing all the beard grooming myself, by the way, who's using any beard oils balms here? My skin gets extra dry each winter and I decided to try some moisturizers as mentioned here, maybe based on argan oil. It is said here https://www.wikihow.com/Use-Beard-Balm that using these balms should be included in my morning routine.

    It’s podcasts for me in the gym. Have some wireless Bluetooth headphones which are a godsend

    True. Especially if those have noise canceling feature like Plantronics BB2 or  Sony WH1000. I find those truly godsend, I don't hear any other people making noise or a disgusting modern music playing at the gym. More over some people take small kids there which are also annoying. By the way I also got myself a smart watch. It is said here that those are mostly designed for runners, but I really like it because it helps to track my cardio.

    I sometimes listen to podcasts in the gym or my own music but more often than not the music is so loud it's not worth the effort.

    I tried listening to podcasts but I focus on it too much and lose my concentration. I prefer something like good old industrial music. 

  3. Was visiting my parents a few days ago and managed to capture this.72526154_2718578754841910_1266154655772420418_n.thumb.jpg.a3e3c8dd0c348c910df80ea2e7649d5c.jpg

    The cat fallen asleep during scratching, she does that very often and always near the scratch post even when you move it to another corner.  This page says this could be a catnip some scratch posts indeed are sprayed with it. That's actually quite handy because their cat doesn't like me, maybe that's because I have a dog.

    Looks beautiful. I would like to have a small fountain too, but unfortunately my backyard looks like this.

    Moreover, my father suggested me to buy a tractor like this instead. Always wanted a tractor, but I guess I should need a bigger yard.

    It seems like fewer people can be bothered gardening these days.

    More front gardens are being turned into driveways or being completely covered with stones.

    It hardly takes much effort to mow the lawn twice a year ffs

     

    Because it's convenient and because people tend to have many cars.

    Is this the new gardening thread? Fair enough.
    I built a wooden fence and raised beds with my bare hands. The weight of the soil started pushing my post out so needed a bit of doctoring.
    Cats have already started digging holes in it.
    Anyone else got a garden?

    Fences are nice especially wooden ones. I used to have a small garden at the backyard but when I moved to the other city I have only a small front lawn, that's because everyone in the neighborhood does, but I'm fine with that. Some of them even suggested a good rake review, you know, people spend hours arguing and  choosing the right one. It's still a legit hobby, same as knitting or hiking.

    Has anyone else done DNA tests on their cross breed dog? We've done them for both of ours and just got Skye's back today. We knew there was lab and husky in the mix somewhere as she displays traits from both but the rest is a surprise. Jake's came back as 25% mix of rough and border collie along with australian shepherd, labrador JRT and misc terrier breeds. 

    Funny how our two look almost like they could be siblings but they actually have very little in common.

    Your dogs are cute. Here's mine. That's quite an interesting idea, now I'm thinking to do a DNA test for my Oscar. I doubt that he's purebred, took him from a shelter, though I would still love him. I'm just concerned about his health and heard a lot that big breeds like retrievers suffer from arthritis and joint pain. Just wanted to ask if anybody knows about joint supplements for dogs? Could you check this page and tell me your thoughts? My dog is 5 years old and isn't very active.

    He must carry a fucking ton of gear with him - drone, camera, go-pro, camping gear - fair play to him as some of the stuff he produces is amazing.

    Never seen any drones during my trips. And I doubt I'm going to see any because of my arthritis. But I spend more time browsing sites like willpowerpeak trying to choose proper hiking shoes instead of hiking itself. What a shame, I used to be a mountain climber years ago, but now it's all in the past. Anyway, I'm glad I discovered this thread, amazing pics.

    Loads of bikes to choose from. I would stay away from the Triumph. my brother had one, not reliable and rot like f**k if not looked after. BMW is nice but expensive for what it is a retro looking posing machine. Get yourself a Honda CB650 or Yamaha MT 07. Both cracking bikes and will do most things you want and have all the gadgets to make your transition into an experienced rider. Then go and get a Ducati Panigale...............

    Can't say nothing about Triumph, never seen those. Though I googled it and it definitely looks like crap. Same with Honda CBR600, I have these wheels in my garage. So you say it's either Honda CB650 or Yamaha MT 07, interesting. And you say they have all the gadgets from the start? That's nice because I was so frustrated with my old Honda.

    By the way, I decided to change battery there and this page advised me to choose something between NICHE AGM or Yuasa? Which one should I get? I'm planning to ride for a few months and then sell the bike.

    I got a haircut at 27 and noticed that my hair was sitting up a bit fluffier than usual. 29 caught a glimpse of my head in the mirror under the light and realised how thin I was getting. 32 in a couple of months and I'm halfway to being a baldy b*****d now. My mum and my girlfriend saw it coming years before apparently without mentioning it.

    I'm extremely good looking otherwise though so it's not a great concern. 

    Noticed my first gray hair when I was 30... Now I color it almost every month, don't want my head go silver till 50. Tested almost every item from this list, but using mostly henna mixed with lemon juice. I even don't know if anyone from my family gone gray very early. I'm so sad about this, it's like being on meds to me.

  10. Call me a paranoid but I think you should wash your hands before and after, unless you have a bidet. But I guess we're talking about public restrooms mostly. I wish those in my town had toilets like this page on sanitaryreview mentions. I mean flush button could be located on the right side of the tank. Still washing hands is just a good habit, am I right?

    I finished Plants vs Zombies.

    That's right, motherfuckers. You heard me.

    Haha, me too actually. I'm so sad PvZ2 is a mobile game only.

     I have 100% achievements on Binding of Isaac Rebirth, Portal, Portal 2, XCOM Enemy Within. Though technically you can't finish a sandbox game, I have thousands of hours in Don't Starve and Garry's Mod. I found this link with garrys mod free stuff and it really reminds me good old days of my machinima attempts.

    So been playing for about 9 months now and would say I’m becoming semi competent but still a long long way to go.

    Started of with an Ibanez V50 and then got myself a Epiphone dove.

    I also got an electric guitar which was just a cheap Les Paul Special that I picked up on gumtree. Bit have now decided to spend a bit of cash and have ordered a Fender Strat Player HSS In three colour sunburst that should hopefully be here early next week.

    Oh, I had similar guitars once.  It really sounds as it looks which is not so bad.
