I know some macho heads won't go this route but I learned a LONG time ago that wearing pantyhose (shorties... just over the knee in length... and the 'leg massage kind are the best') under the socks makes a HUGE difference if you plan on doing major hiking/climbing stuff.

Here's a free business idea for anyone who can run with it:

Take the above advice and learn how to "macho" the product where sports guys will adapt it.

THE MOST FUCKING BRUTAL, METAL, DEADLY DESTRUCTIVE, PUSSY MAGNET pantyhose IN THE WORLD!

20 year old ramsnumbers could stay up all night, go home when the sun came up, sleep till 11, and be good. 23 year old ramsnumbers is dying at midnight, incoherent at 1am, and will probably sleep till noon.

Polypropylene liner with smartwool for any hiking/outside in boots work. The polypropylene liner helps wick moisture/sweat away.

Winter or summer.

Just wait until you cheer sleeping in until 8 am.

Yeah my body let me sleep till about 8:45. It was nice actually. But I'm tired as shit.

Don't succumb to traditional "sayings" about aging. I can go all day on 2 hours of sleep. I can sleep until noon. It all depends upon what the criteria for the coming day is.

I don't think age has a whole lot to do with being able to power through a long day. In fact as some people age, they need less sleep. ....but, when it comes to recovering from any kind of night out on the town? Age absolutely has everything to do with how fast you recover and how quickly you are able to go out and do it all again.

Actually they do sell spandex 'socks' for that kind of stuff but they cost a bundle. Pantyhose is way cheaper and does almost as good a job. I know some who like those diabetic socks for that too but they usually only are calf high at most where those short hoses go all the way up to the thighs.

Yeah. I find that I can do pretty much everything that I've always done before... but recovering from anything (from a hangover to an injury) takes longer than it use to. It took 5 years of rehab to finally restore (both of) my elbows back to being as good as they were before I fried the tendons in them. If that had happened when I was 20, It'd probably only taken 1 to 2 years instead.

So, I decided it's time to upgrade my phone...my Galaxy S3 has seen better days.

I went to Verizon page, thinking I'd just buy it upfront instead of a 2 year loan, thinking it would be cheaper. Instead, the 2 year loan is $100 cheaper.

I don't get it. Isn't the guaranteed money upfront better for them, rather than money they might not see?

Edit: And then I immediately paid off the discounted long term balance...wat

So I was ordering some christmas stuff today.


I went to place an order and the payment wouldnt go through with my debit card. Then I get a text saying Free msg did you try a charge of 26.95 at whatever website it was on card xxxx (last 4 digits of it). Reply YES or NO or call this number. I called and they asked for my card # and last 4 of my social.


The fact my card did get declined made me think it wasnt a scam but just to be safe I blocked my card and am waiting to talk to bank tomorrow to see wtf.

Except for income tax purposes, no one ever needs to know any part of your social number.

I think it was Sears I was in last month. You got $100 off your purchase if you signed up for a credit card. I will do that, get the $100 and pay the cashier the amount I put on my Sears card..then rip it up. No need for the card ...but, they asked for my social number when filling out the application. Politely declined. They are supposed to move on after you refuse. The young clerk didn't realize that so made a bit of a fuss until we got the manager in.

They can ask for it, but you don't have to give it ...ever

Apparently the info was just for conformation...but I just told them I will call my bank and sort it out. It just seemed too sketchy too me, maybe im being paranoid, idk.

After googling the number they had me call, it was a mixed bag of legit and not. Hard to make anything out of it. Supposedly it belongs to a third party company called Vantis or something like that for 3rd party fraud protection alot of banks use. Like I said, not really sure. The people who said this was a scam said they got a letter mailed to them or an answering machine message to call that number, most posts from a long time ago. Not to say scams dont evolve to text messages of course.

Then googling the text # it came from, I found the number listed on a few credit union websites as their fraud protection alert #. But its not listed on my banks website (granted I bank with a small bank and the only numbers on their site are there office #s and the after hours card cancelling services in the event its lost or stolen).
