:dat: is gonna be counter-productive to you slipping one past the goalie if it keeps up.

Best of luck, :doe: !
Yeah I’ve tried explaining that stressing about it happening is a sure fire way to make it not happen, but “I cAN’t NoT StREsS AbOUt It! ZOMG”

I’ll just try to be the positive voice of reason and she can do her thing and I’ll just smile and nod.
That’s the way. I’m sure it’ll work out.

This answers the big question about “shortage” of housing a term that utterly :triggered; me. 1:3 homes
Is bought by institutions. And not to mention “private” inventors who have 1-5 extra units. Such bullshit

Although lagging, Canadian market is not THAT far behind and is just starting to be in vogue these last couple of years. These numbers include casual multi-property owners which is something that's been around since the dawn of time, and excludes "shack in the woods" places since it is median cities across the country.

https://betterdwelling.com/canadian-cit ... investors/


"About 1 in 5 (21.0%) homes in the median city across the four regions are investor-owned. When isolating new construction (built after 2016), that number rises to 1 in 3 (33.7%) bought by investors. Their ownership of new housing is overrepresented. It’s running about 60% faster than the general market share."

Yeah I'm good with a reduction in this trend.

Got all my bloodwork back. Every marker was within the normal range except for my liver enzymes, which we know will always be elevated even just from lifting weights. Pretty stoked to see that the changes I’ve made to my diet and actually doing cardio have kept me pretty healthy this time around.

The other thing that was out of range was my testosterone level :lol: their scale ends at 1499ng/dl, so my reading was just >1499. I was actually worried that would be in range with how good all of my :jizz: results and the rest of my bloodwork looked. Thought maybe I’ve been running fake gear lol.

You just also explain that you're just manly AF so that's the way it works.

then just keep :dock: and painting those walls big guy :jizz:

If anything, maybe her being so stressed about it could affect it? If y’all are “ready” for a kid, just treat it as let’s not “plan” for it, let’s just do what we do and let it happen. If it does, it does, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t.

I feel like the couples (not you, but in general) that over stress about planning everything to the t and day sometimes are their own obstacle

That’s what I’ve been trying to tell her. But the result of doing that is about the same as tell :tits: to calm down during a dispute.. just adds fuel to the fire lol.

It’ll happen in due time. Hopefully she can change her mindset and not stress as much.

I think it’ll happen when y’all least expect it, even if y’all are ready. Most likely when she probably writes it off a bit as far as stressing over it.

Having laws that help the little guy rather than crooked politicians and their drug dealers would be refreshing.

Went to a work function with my roommate, and his company rented out a joint called Queen Park Social not far from Dan. There were lots of kids there which makes sense for a party at 2pm, but we still had a few free drinks and they had a quesadilla buffet. :fatty:

In an ideal world, I’d have a quesadilla for dessert after dinner most nights. Keep your sweets, give me that greasy goodness.

Well there were also brownies cooked only enough to keep their shape, which is exactly how I like them. Dessert to the dessert.

That place is pretty cool, we had my 10 year high school reunion there in 2017. The food was pretty good IIRC.

The chicken dillas and drinks were FIRE. We didn't stay long though since most people were there with their young kids.

I’m more of a corner of the pan man when it comes to brownies, but I can respect some undercooked gooey goodness.
