But why?

 

Just feels so good.  It puts me in a nice mindset afterwards that last for hours. No pills, medications, or supplements.

I would be interested to see if you get the same benefits from a cold shower every morning.

I tried that for a while. I’d feel a little refreshed but only during the coldest months when the water was colder. All summer the cold water coming out of the tap is rather warm. I’ve read 58 degrees it’s the starting point for cold water therapy. It’s actually colder than it sounds when you are suddenly immersed up to your chin. Your heart immediately starts racing and then calms down.

Okay but the main question everyone is asking... Does your peepee look like a slightly oversized clit when you're done?

There’s surprisingly less shrinkage than I expected.

For the last year or two now I’ve heard people raving about cold plunges and how great you feel afterwards. Two weeks ago I started to….dip my toes into the idea. Bought a portable “tub” called The Cold Pod. Found someone on eBay selling the XL size for $100. Just set it up and fill it with water. Keeping it cold is definitely annoying. I seem to have picked the hottest week here to try this out(pushing 100 degrees some days). We have a BJ’s membership(similar to Costco) and they sell 20lb bags of ice for $4.49.  So for about $24 I can get the thing down to 48 degrees and then maintain it for a few days.  I have a chest freezer so I can freeze a bunch of gallon jugs and toss them in like big ice cubes. 
I look forward to jumping in every morning. For the rest of the day my arms and legs feel so loose and free.  It zaps my appetite completely in the morning.  I won’t even think about food until 12-1pm. Interested to see if I notice any differences mentally.  My wife said I seem calmer since starting two weeks ago.  I have a physical job and this really has taken away aches and pains better than Tylenol or ibuprofen ever has.  I think it’s crazy how I can sit down for 3 minutes in cold water and feel the way I do for a whole day.
 

Really looking forward to the cold weather to make my life easier to keep it cold.  Of course I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of making something more permanent. There are a bunch of expensive options online. The biggest component is a water chiller. Seems like your not going to get one big enough for under $700-800. A popular option is converting a chest freezer into a cold plunge but that seems sketchy.  If I stick with it for a year, I have a DIY plan I’m going to go with that should keep me around $1,700 for everything. Sounds like a lot, but my body has seriously felt good the last two weeks.

Really sorry to hear that. If you need to vent anything out, feel free. We’re here for you.

I beat it but that was after everyone else said how great it was. I thought it was just ok.

Walls can be really inconvenient.

A lot of people don’t realize you get a “nice settlement” because you are fucked up for the rest of your life. It’s not “oh that person hit me, yay I hit the lottery”.  

I’ll take Saints Row for sure!

No. I was just at the doctor's again and its gastrointestinal viral bacteria infection. It causes all the symptoms I have so they gave me even better medication this time.

 

I litteraly couldn't get in to work today so I'm going to sleep all day. 

Damn. Hope you get well soon man. That stuff is no fun.

Are they thinking food poisoning?

All hail Drill**** Bot!

Police have released the photograph of the dead Nazi terrorist and he looks exactly like you'd expect him to.

He really does.

Holy moly that looks rough.

“Today, at the notoriously violent jail in Fulton County, Georgia, I was ARRESTED despite having committed NO CRIME”

 the first thing on his website. He is loving this.

I go through phases with alcohol. I would never have more than 1-2 drinks a night but it just becomes a habit and I really don’t feel great the next day. I’ve always been fortunate I can just stop when I want. I’ll drop 10 pounds within a month or two of stopping which is cool. Going on 5 months now with no alcohol. Almost gave in this weekend but I might test myself and go a full year.

Wtf….

sigh, my Dad is in on the space laser theory

What?  I must have missed this. The most recent crazy I saw going around online was the MH370 airplane being teleported out of the air by 3 flying orbs…

Maybe after the success of the movie it’s time to take Mario’s voice in a new direction. Why not start with a different voice actor.

Britney has not aged well. Crazy will do that. 

The videos she posts on instagram of her dancing are pretty creepy.

Hot dogs are a sandwich. As are tacos. 

Whenever someone says “let’s make sandwiches”, nobody ever says “yeah I want hot dog!”

Your kind of hot dog stepee.

That is not a hot dog. That is a sandwich.

What's everyone's favorite brand of hotdog? Imma go with Nathan's even though they are kinda skinny. They have a phenomenal taste to them with a solid snap. 

Berks Grill franks are my favorite when cooking out. They cook better, like the skin doesn’t burn as easy. Wife thinks they taste a little salty but I think they are perfect.

My older brother was an avid dirt bike rider and was in a SEVERE accident where he almost lost his life. He never rode again after that because he didn't want to die as a father of two.

 

After the kids first accident the parents should have ended his riding days there. So I say the parents are 

 

 

I feel the same.  And if any of you want an update, yesterday the kids Fasciotomy went well. With a nice thumbs up photo…

“Fasciotomy or fasciectomy is a surgical procedure where the fascia is cut to relieve tension or pressure in order to treat the resulting loss of circulation to an area of tissue or muscle. Fasciotomy is a limb-saving procedure when used to treat acute compartment syndrome.”
