- Show her how much you’re into her by investing in one of those sexy CPAP masksPonyBoy
- LOL @ Nairnoey_oey
- No joke, the easy response to end it is to point out that she too snores like a goddamn banshee but you’ve been too embarrassed to say anything until now.monospaced
- Then thank her for opening the conversation about the issue.monospaced
- Thanks for the advice, mono. But instead I ordered myself some anti-snore nasal plugs. Let’s see if they work.NBQ00

- If you're not fat and have good cardio, it could be dehydration. It snots up the valves. Also no big pillows, and sleep on your side. Could also be bad luck?garbage
- I'm 6'1", 150lb. If I twist onto my back when I'm asleep, I wake up God. Luckily I'm a heavy sleeper and easy to roll over.garbage

I just went on the Gov's Social Security calculator to guesstimate what mine will be if/when I retire. Not exactly inspiring, certainly not enough to survive on.
- oh man...I received a letter last month...I was three days depressed. not all day but you know, it was a recurring thought.oey_oey
- I'm just going to kill myself when the time comes.Nairn
- Less important is a high paying job. More import to build a boat load of income streams, mostly passive.shapesalad
- When you retire, just buy a small video camera, create YouTube account, travel and film yourself = profit.shapesalad

- great line up if I was 18 again. still would love to go.oey_oey

The 'new' boots I recently bought are basically that - I've bought them for next winter, not this one. And, at that - they're like the sixth or seventh pair of the exact-same type of boot I've bought since about 2004 or something. I'm so fucking dull.I'm unsure if this marks me as old, as I've basically been doing this since my late twenties, but I have multiple sets of the exact-same clothing combination - long sleeve tee, typically dark blue, jeans, boots. I wear the same shit Every Day, with only slight variations on the theme.
In my late twenties it was Maharishi snopants and some 'fancy' trainers, but that verve has long-since died in me.
- oops. '^' to imbecile's post, although I totally agree with Jagara's sentiment on over-priced shitty footwear.Nairn
- It bemuses me seeing chavs in Balenciagas - like, "You spent a whole paycheque on THOSE?! They cost like £5 to manufacture".Nairn
- On my 11th (or so) pair of black Vans Era.jagara
- What are the boots?drgs
- The only boots I ever post here - https://www.gooutdoo…Nairn
- They're the plainest least bullshat boots I've found. Not techwhizz, not too fuddy duddy, just .. boots. They added in a small detail in the heel a couple ...Nairn
- ..of years back (that 90° L detail) and I wrote to them to please not do any more of that. I fucking hate moulded 'design' on boots, a la..Nairn

- @Nairn: if you wear same stuff every day, spice it up with non-matching socks, it works for me :)rzu-rzu
- Way ahead of you - wearing non-matching (but. same. type - VERY IMPORTANT!) socks. Can't see them under boots and trousers though :)Nairn

I walked into a fashion boutique, and had a look at a $170 polo and some $700 sneakers. I found myself laughing to myself. I don't give a fuck about that shit anymore. It felt really great. I have other priorities now.
- Henrik Vibskov, Copenhagen, if you care.jagara
- +YakuZoku
- It’s nice to have a more healthy perspective on that kind of rubbish.Chimp
- That shit is for people that exist in a higher monetary bracket. No point trying to fit in with them.shapesalad
- New slaves by Kanye Westnb
- did you ever? both of those prices are ridiculous.imbecile
- Shapesalad, it really isnt just for folk in a higher monetary bracket. In scotland, Glaswegians like to wear brands moreso than the east.microkorg
- Recently on holiday at a campsite on the west coast. Real working class glaswegians there. I've never seen so many Yeezys and designer gear on folk! ;)microkorg
- At one point I cared about other people perceiving me as a fashion conscious person. Now I go for simple, cool and casual, and that’s it.jagara
- I found out how little value dressing in designer clothes added to my life.jagara

Seven hours’ sleep is ideal amount in middle to old age, study finds
- "Bed @ 11, awake @ 7, you'll go to heaven. Bed @ 1 and you won't live long." Ancient Benin Proverb.shapesalad
- ^ at first I read the last 2 words as Bennn ProverbKrassy
- No, Benin, that often forgotten about African country - I'm aiming to bring more awareness to it. I'm bored of hearing about the typical countries.shapesalad
- lol krassy. To be fair, in ancient Benin they'd not have had as much light at night time as we do nowadays, so I imagine there'd be a higher accident rate.Nairn

The volume of the opening band last night absolutely destroyed my ear drums. And then the headliners came out and only played a little over an hour, which sounds bad but me being old I was happy so I could get home to bed at a sensible hour.
- I've been taking earplugs to concerts for about a decade. Signs I'm old.fooler

I promised my 3 years old son that we are going to Home Depot at the ead of the day, I am barely able to work due to the excitement!
- ead = endlajj
- my excitement, that is. He just want a hammer to hit stufflajj
- Once he's hit your big toe, you'll regret the hammer purchase.shapesalad
- explaining "ead = end" = Signs you're getting old ;-)Krassy
- He’s got a few hammers ahead of himscarabin
- Do hammers ever wear down? You only need onedrgs
- I dunno, they seem to just appear and go. Only ever paid for onescarabin
- "the only way to learn how to swim, is in water" It sounds like you should also buy him his first knife.ArchitectofFate
- got my girls theri first counting/sheath(?) knives when they were about that age.ArchitectofFate
- He finally wanted a mesuring tape, my toes are safe. For now.lajj

Sometimes I seriously forget if I have posted something on QBN yet or if I was just thinking about posting it. I then fear to double post it.

Rocking my 1st (Harris) Tweed jacket. Nice charity shop find in Scotland.
- uh-oh... i have twohans_glib
- Haha...I'm already on the lookout for a 2ndfaxion
- Wolverine wears these: https://www.harristw…jagara
- Love them... but I'm living on a "all days hiking wear" community, and, they already look at me like a weirdo just for wearing jeans and leather boots...OBBTKN
- I wore a few Tweed caps in my 20's. Already dressing like a grandad.PhanLo
- Haha, I am going the opposite...skinny jeans, (dress) sneakers, bracelets...loving it! Best shape of my life at 50, too.formed
- Same as formed. Skinny-ish jeans, decent sneakers, fitted-ish t-shirts, leather bracelets, hoodies, Superdry military-style jackets. Also in my best shape.Continuity
- Fuck 'dressing my age'.Continuity
- For more fashion tips see this https://www.youtube.…shapesalad
- My wee brother was rocking Tweed in his early 20s - it's a culture thing, not an age thing. Me, I dress like I'm in my 30s, my hair belies that conceit though..Nairn
- @Continuity - the only people I see wearing SuperDry here in London these days are older than me ;)Nairn
- Arf.
Figures.

As I personally trend toward death, I have less kindness and patience for people who do harm to others.
Case in point: that shooting on the brooklyn subway today? Well, as a young man I opposed the death penalty. As an old man, how do I feel? Let’s say if they find this suspect and can prove without a shadow of a doubt that he’s the one. Then fuck it. Kill him. Why do the rest of us have to worry about cunts like this? In the end, we all die. So if you’re going to go around murdering people arbitrarily, you can fucking die soon. This goes for all mass shooters.
I shouldn’t be the one to do him because justice should be dispassionate. On the other hand, if they needed me to do it I would not hesitate.

- “If you're not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative at 40, you have no brain.” —NOT Winston ChurchillPonyBoy
- LOLWUT. Americans have no idea how to describe positions beyond their idiot system. Capital punishment or vengeance has nothing to do with conservatism.nb
- I was describing YOU, my friend... w/a NON-WC quote often attributed to him (but probably belongs to nobody of consequence). <3PonyBoy
- It’s all fun and games until you put to death an innocent person - due to quality of policing, corruption, racism, errors etc.shapesalad
- Lol dude. This position does not make me conservative. *Rolls eyesnb
- Your epiphany of "I suddenly don't care what happens to criminals" is as cliche as a midlife crisis... welcome to getting older, young fella.PonyBoy
