I was supposed to be experiencing my first hot air balloon ride today to celebrate my birthday, but it's still been fun down on the ground. Ate cheesecake for breakfast and have been watching Little House on the Prairie episodes all day. HAPPY BDAY!!!!! And at least you found cheesecake, Cheesecake! (my area (at least where I order from) has been largely cheesecakeless! )

It's like 95% humidity and my shirt after my workout looked like the Shroud of Turin. On the plus side, I had a really cool benadryl dream last night that felt like a full on epic film. I was drafted by the Giants out of college to be a slot receiver. I was never truly great, just a solid player well liked by fans with a couple of pro bowls... But true to benadryl dreams, I was then traded to the Steelers where everyone hated me... and my best friend on the team was Ben Roesthlisberger. I did not like where this dream went. My stupid brain couldn't even keep me on the Giants. Gyms are opening up (or about to) around my area again. Is it the same where you are? And are you gonna go?

I know there will likely be a mad dash for the gym right away if it is, so I may wait a couple of weeks or so until the novelty wears off for the covid weight gainers. On the other hand, I think I've made more gains during covid than I have in the previous six months despite minimal equipment. Plus, I've gotten really good at pistol squats to the point where I'm even throwing in some paused reps.

When I end up going back Iβll def avoid it for a while. But Iβm with you on gains...doing 800+ pushups a week mixed with pull-ups/chin-ups has been pretty effective.

I received earth-shattering news today. My childhood best friend told me he was sexually abused by his father as a child. I 100% believe him. His dad was always super creepy to me back when we were kids. I ignored all the warning signs and I didn't say anything. I feel so fucking terrible.
What is the appropriate way for me to help him? What should I do? Maybe this is the wrong place to ask... I don't fucking know, man.

Sad to hear - maybe ask your friend if he thinks he needs counseling or if you have some support group in your area and just be there if he wants to talk.......he may not want to do that but it will help him to know you are there for him. I'm assuming this isn't going a different way like criminally against his dad (?) Best of luck to him and to you also arch - don't beat yourself up, you were a kid too - he might have been creepy but the totality of that abuse is tough for a kid and an outsider to the family to really know or even comprehend

God that's awful.The best thing you can do for him is to make it clear that you believe him,which you obviously do, and that you are always available if he needs to talk.His Dad should be fuckin shot.

You should insist he reports him because he may not want to. It's a very delicate issue.

I appreciate all the responses, guys. My friend doesn't want to report his father. He doesn't want to relive that nightmare with the cops and through the courts. I can respect his decision even if I do not agree with it. I personally think his dad deserves punishment. Yes, he's old and frail now, but that still doesn't excuse what he did. It's been a tough few days, but I'm here for my friend. Childhood trauma doesn't just go away, but I'll help him all the way through it.

In some countries, you can't even report a crime after some years have passed, besides it's hard to find evidence to support the accusation, so I understand your friend. Suggest him to ask professional psychological help too. There are some who help victims of abuse for free, if he can't financially afford it. My best wishes.

Echoing to just be there for him. If he wants to talk more about it be supportive and if he doesnβt then just be there.

In lighter news, my cat just brought in a baby rabbit and wanted me to play with it. Rabbit wasn't so thrilled, but didn't seem too badly injured (it was missing fur and skin on a small portion of its back, but it didn't seem terribly deep). I let the rabbit go and my cat seemed quite disappointed.

Three o'clock in the morning, and I hear screaming.
A rabbit screaming.
He's done it for the second time in eight hours. This time, the rabbit seemed uninjured, just terrified. Running around the room, hiding in whatever corners it can get behind. Poor thing was trying to run out of my hands, but was too scared to actually run when I let it outside. That's the opposite of the first rabbit, who looked a bit uglier and didn't try to run as much, but appeared to have its wits.
Well, so much for my night. Cat is now locked up inside, I don't need him grabbing anything else and bringing it to my bed.

Put on a shirt that was loose on me the last time I wore it and now it's tight (in a good way).

You know that girl that I fancied that moved away? Well, I had the guts to finally confess how I felt, and ask her out when she comes to visit...

Me and my two friends (both of whom you might/probably know through IMDb Oscar Buzz) won eight times IRL. For obvious reasons, the bar trivia is now online/virtual.
The picture round is name the Olsen Twins movies and ... I am seething more than a Karen whose meal was slightly undercooked. I feel like channeling my inner Karen and demanding they give us participants better questions.
(I'm also drunk if that explains how random this post is.)

Finally got a face-to-face RPG session for the first time in 2-ish months.
Critically fail my con check and spend the majority of the session in prison where I could do nothing.

Having some hot wings. One of my absolute favorite foods. Probably Top 5 if I'm being honest. Thank you Wingstop

I met a creepy old man today before getting a haircut. He complained to me and some lady outside that he had to make a reservation even though he's a regular, and that he never makes reservations. The only time he makes reservations is "for a whorehouse."
Why is making a reservation a big deal and why would you mention the whorehouse thing to literally anyone? Wtf man.
