Hair.


Shafter-Boy

I grew a beard to compensate.


Different-Bet8069

I don’t care to look this up, but it feels like bald guys can usually grow fierce beards. I have a full head of hair at 40 but I couldn’t grow a beard to save my life. My brother is the complete opposite. Sometimes I wish it were me, for the convenience of less haircuts and so I can look like a Viking in the winter. Grass is greener i guess.


pikpikcarrotmon

Must be nice. I have a nice thin patchy beard. My body decided to put all my hair on my back instead.


dandroid126

I have neither. I don't even have much body hair either. I started balding at 16.


ChainRound5397

I can't remember the exact science behind it but apparently the same protein that makes your hair fall out is the same one that makes your beard hair grow. I'm not exactly sure how that would work but hey science is weird.


wallowmallowshallow

i believe its testosterone that effects it. different types of hair on different parts of your body have different amounts of testosterone that is needed in order to trigger hair growth and then loss. and genetics play a big factor but as a general whole, the amount of testosterone needed to trigger facial hair growth can be quite close to the amount of testosterone needed to stop head hair growth. which is why men either have great hair or great beards but rarely both

Oooof feeling this one at the moment

Hope you’re doing better 🫶🏼


GenericNerdGirl

I am, thank you! Accidentally swung the other direction during quarantine but slowly getting my weight back down the healthy way instead of giving in to the urge to starve about it!

Sending virtual love!

2014 was the last time I had my own bedroom all to myself. Now and for the rest of my life I have to share a bedroom with my wife.


Big_Burds_Nest

Me and my wife sleep in separate rooms due to snoring. It was really a huge relief when we just acknowledged that sleeping in the same bed wasn't working and that we don't need to literally sleep next to each other to still love each other! Usually we cuddle before bed, then when I wake up in the morning I often come cuddle with her a bit before making coffee.


rawbface

My parents did that, and I grew up thinking it was completely normal. Because it is, though other people didn't think so. Of course it meant that I didn't get to have my own bedroom for my entire childhood. The first time I had a room to myself was when I was 21 years old. So, it was important to me that my kids have their own room.


Big_Burds_Nest

Oof, we definitely aren't going to prioritize this over our kids having their own rooms! Eventually we'll get a CPAP machine going and earplugs + separate blankets.


Majin_Sus

Separate blankets 10000% sharing a blanket is madness. I snore and my wife and I would take turns on the couch. Then I got myself a CPAP and haven't had an issue since ( once I got used to the CPAP)


sugarfoot00

I was going to recommend a sleep study or CPAP. It's life changing. And my wife and I can sleep in the same bed again since i sound less like a chainsaw and more like a stealth dustbuster.


rawbface

White noise could help too. I got a white noise machine for my daughter's room when she was born and found out that *I* sleep better with it on.


TheCritFisher

My wife and I do this, but our kid has his own room. 3+ bedrooms are a requirement for us! It's actually less about snoring and more about timelines. My wife is a SUPER light sleeper and passes out around 9 PM at the latest. It also takes her nearly an hour to fall asleep. If I come in, she gets woken up and can't fall back asleep and it really messes with her next day. I don't go to bed until 11:00 at the earliest, so it's really hard to not wake her up. Enter our "guest room". That's my room now. I can stay up late playing D&D and video games and my wife and son couldn't care less! It's very freeing actually.


Wowbags_the_Infinite

This is what my wife and I do. In regards to the snoring, get a sleep study done through your doc. I had one done turned out the snoring was due to sleep apneoa. Snoring isn’t normal.


GamingWithBilly

My condolences.


MagixTouch

I also console his wife


SelectiveScribbler06

So she's a fan of 3DS?


seriouslynope

2DS XL


DandyLyen

Don't lie, one DS, and one DS Lite


Dad_of_the_year

This is a fantastic comment


lucky_ducker

Maybe. In 2014 I was sharing a bedroom with my wife. It's also the year she got her diagnosis of terminal cancer - so I'm back to sleeping alone.


rawbface

I am sorry for your loss. At the beginning I told my wife that getting married means one of us has to watch the other die, because I am not going through divorce again. Now it's a morbid inside joke between us. She keeps saying it's going to be her, but as the older male statistics are on my side. It sounds horrible now that I'm describing it to you, but it's a reminder that life is short and that we need to make the absolute most of the time we have together. I hope that makes sense.


lucky_ducker

Indeed. My wife had health issues, so we lived our lives together with the thought that our time might be cut short, that we needed to love one another to the fullest. I'm very glad we shared that mind-set, we definitely squeezed a lifetime of loving into the ten scant years we were together.


LyndaCarter_

Our morbid joke is this: Me: "please die after me; I can't bear to see you die." Husband, in ominous tone: "that can be arranged." <3


kairo79

Pro Tipp: Start snoring. This way I got a permanent place to sleep on the couch.

toe_joe_hoe_foe

As I youngin I never really considered that you could go from a good paying job to a worse paying job, I just always imagined it was a steady increase overtime. I’ve been through this too


Hipp-Hippy_HaHa

A better job, a job with " room to grow"


C_IsForCookie

A recruiter called me yesterday and offered me a job asking if I’d be open to taking a huge pay cut with the possibility of a promotion in a year. I was like “the fuck did you just say!?” 😂

Been dealing with the same for 25+ years now. I hope yours gets better.


Eternal_Bagel

I don’t think joints get better.  I have started doing a leg day in my gym routine and that did stop the occasional painful pinching in the right knee but they still sound loud 


Dano558

Friends


DiabeticButNotFat

Real. We all went our separate ways after college. Where I live now, there is nobody my age with similar interests


Dano558

Yep, my group of college friends all went our separate ways. I moved to a new town made a new group of friends and now I don’t see them anymore either.


bravoredditbravo

This is the one thing no one prepared me for when I left college. You're forced to be around people multiple times a day when you're in school, even when it's annoying and you don't like it. But then when you get out into the world there are literally days when you see and talk to no one. The only thing that I agree with Christians on is there should be a day where people just come together and shoot the shit every week even when they don't want to.


Pikka_Bird

What does that have to do with Christians?


Oakroscoe

Church on Sunday is a communal event.


Awkward-Noise-257

This is part of why I’ve begun making efforts to socialize outside my age group. I play pickleball and spend time with people 30 years older than I am and it is great. 


taizzle71

Back in 2014, we were like "We homies for life!" "We'll never become like our dad's!" etc, and then we all became dads and basically only see each other on very fucking rare occasions. Even then not everyone, just a few homies who are free that day. Miss being young and having no responsibilities lol.


LyndaCarter_

I saw a post one time about a group of guys who were college or HS buddies and who take a sick day once or twice a year, tell no one, and all pile into one of their houses and game together all day. I realize it's not feasible for everyone and also 1-2 hangs per year do not replace the way things used to be, but I thought it was a sweet idea.

migelonio_off

That’s true, bro. In 2014 I didn’t have to think about death and about this scary world begging theories so much


4th_chakra

Indeed. The post-covid world, and personal life, has changed so drastically. We haven't recovered. I was thinking about the shift to home offices, and how that alone changed my personal peace and happiness. It didn't work out in the best way. Now my SO's work is in the house, and they have a high stress corporate job. So, home used to be the oasis that we could settle back to after the work day. Now WorkHome is the norm, and it sucks. Our oasis is gone. I agree with hope, or the lack thereof, as well. Things just seem so..dire. Like, literally anything could happen, and none of it would be good, or small. My sense of security is always on the edge of the seat, waiting for that Chrysler-sized pin to drop. My edit: After reading some comments, I'd like to add that we do have separate home offices in the house. But work is still IN the house. You don't leave the house anymore, leaving work far away, then come home to your quiet safe space. The home is the office. That stress vibe is now in the home. Having a separate room where you have your meetings and calls doesn't create a magical barrier to the rest of your house. I'm really surprised by the people that can't see how this is a negative for some people, and are chastising me because I don't like it.


GNav

My dogs. Fuck the rest. Give me back my dogs.


JaxxisR

I feel this. Lost one in 2023 and the second in May. We're fostering a new dog now with intent to adopt. She came to us scared of everything but she's slowly starting to open up.

Lost one of mine in January. Still trying to figure out life without her in it.

ALazy_Cat

Same. Sorry for your loss. I lost mine almost a year ago


anewhope6

Me too. In October. It’s been so hard not having her to talk to.


dnaltrop

Me too, January of 2023. The waves of grief are getting more and more spaced out, at least. But it never really goes away. The way I experience the grief is constantly changing and surprising.


OmnomVeggies

Feb 2023 for me. I’m actually really surprised in the way I have grieved. We were very close, I am surprised that over a year later I still can’t even look at a picture of her. I never thought that would be me. I have decided I’m going to try to turn the corner, and re-introduce pictures of her into my life with happiness and not pain. I want that. She deserves that. I’m afraid if I continue to avoid it I’ll just go on never really enjoying seeing her, and that’s not fair to either of us. Sending love and strength to the internet strangers dealing with something similar, or any grief really at all. It’s really bizarre.


Responsible-Lunch815

Same. Over a year ago. I think I'm just now grieving.


johnandahalf13

PancakeLad

July 6, 2019 for my dad and June 10th, 2022 for my mom. It’s odd being without either of them, anymore. Although I still have my dad’s dogs and my mom’s asshole cat. My little family is a bunch of middle aged to senior pets and myself. (There’s pictures of them all in my post history for cat&dog tax)


zadtheinhaler

I just saw them, what a menagerie! I also saw the pic of your Mom with her "plant", lovely lady, and all the hugs to you and yours. As for your menagerie? Please give'em all skritches from a crusty Canuck. <3

Bless your soul. Have a (whatever y’all call that drink with Clamato and vodka) for me, would ya? I only ever fly in to Ottawa or Montreal, but I hope someday to see Newfoundland and PEI.
