How to Masturbate in Public (Without Getting Caught)

@chernus_tr

If you’re reading this know what you’re probably thinking, “Is this a joke?” But it’s not. Personally, I think it should be discussed more. I’m not here to condone getting caught masturbating in public or any other fetishes that can come along with it.

I’m here to discuss seriously masturbating when you really need to get off, even if you are in public. Not only that, but I know that I’ve personally done it a time or two, and I’m sure you have too. Because sometimes you just can’t help yourself.

So let’s get into it.

How to Masturbate in Public

Be Quiet

If you’re trying to get away with masturbating in public you shouldn’t be moaning or breathing heavily. Be as quiet as you possibly can be — depending on where you’re at, so that no one can hear you.

Obviously, if you’re in the middle of nowhere like on a hike, and you don’t think anyone is around you can do whatever you want. But if there are people around, do yourself a favor and don’t.

Be Discreet

One time I masturbated while I was on a public bus and there was a guy sitting right next to me. He had no idea that my hand was in my pants and I was daydreaming about this guy in a band while I was touching myself. No inclination whatsoever.

So if you’re going for the real public masturbation and there’s a ton of people around, be discreet. Lewd Conduct is a real thing and you do not want that. Go in your car if you have to or a public restroom.

Be Quick

I think for me when I feel the need to masturbate in public it’s because I really can’t wait until I get home. There’s just this urge that’s inside me I need to fulfill immediately.

That being said, this is all about the quickie. Getting in and out. You have to be quick and vigilant. Thank god for pocket vibrators.

Spice it up a bit. Life is hard and shouldn’t be taken too seriously all the time. If you’re out in the fresh air and no one is around, you be you.
My Arcade Love

The cold blast of air from the vents,

The boredom sucked from our brain,

The click of those ticket machines,

All these feelings and acknowledgments before we lose each other.

The lights glowing from behind a glass case,

The glare of fluorescent lightbulbs,

The warmth of your arms that hold my waist when I throw a ball or a hoop,

Or my thoughts.

You laugh at my attempts to dodge your strikes at the air hockey pitch,

Kiss my head when I seem lost and bring me back home to the flashing colours of yellow and white – even though we don’t like eggs or loud noises.

The cool blue and purple ice cream colours make us laugh,

Before we try again, and I bury my face in your ordinary jumper,

Throw my head back and breathe you in along with the happiness and joy,

Even the canny voice of the man we both hate and shout at.

We both want to win,

Impress the other.

Skid across the bowling alley and slip on the polished floor,

You promise to get me a stuffed bear…and fail at it,

But I don’t care at all.

You, me, the bright lights and dancing behind the bowling alley aisles is enough to make me lose my mind along with my thoughts,

The bright pink, green, blue, white flashes of that arcade game,

Along with the smell of fried onions, popcorn and soda bubbles popping across the floor.

Take out our frustrations on all the machines, before screaming with laughter,

“Who cares who sees or hears?” You gently remind me, before kissing my head and smiling with your lips pressed against my skin,

Before we snag nearby simulator rides, blasters or mini mallets to compete, crying joyous tears and fall for each other even more.

For No Reason

Photo: Billie Eilish on Flickr

by Jon Ochiai

At the 62nd 2020 Grammy Awards, the 18-year-old singer and songwriter Billie Eilish won 5 Grammys including Best New Artist, Song of the Year for “bad guy”, Record of the Year, and Album of the Year. Billie released her debut album in March 2019. She is a generational talent, something special.

Along with her brother, producer and songwriter Finneas O’Connell, and Academy Award Winning Composer Hans Zimmer, Billie wrote the theme song “No Time To Die” for the upcoming James Bond movie of the same title, starring Daniel Craig in his final performance as Agent 007.

Listen as she sings her lyrics:

Billie’s poignantly haunting departure from previous “Bond” theme songs captured the tragic irony of James Bond’s existence. Daniel Craig’s incarnation of James Bond is inspired. His humanist version portrays the man cursed in love, either betrayed by love or losing the love of his life. James can save the world, but he can’t find true love in the world.

Billie renews relevance in the multi-billion dollar industry of motion picture franchises. Perhaps, none more iconic than James Bond. Perhaps, Billie wins the Best Original Song Oscar for “No Time To Die”?

The COVID-19 pandemic postponed the release of “No Time To Die” to April 2021. The pandemic has already delayed and canceled numerous major motion picture releases in 2020. Perhaps, we will see Billie sing “No Time To Die” at the Oscars in 2022?

In the “Carpool Karaoke” episode with hysterical “Late, Late Show” host James Corden, he and Billie sang her songs while driving on the streets of Los Angeles. After her amazing karaoke rendition of her hit “Ocean Eyes”, which she wrote when she was 13 years-old, Billie introspectively reflected, “That song changed my life…”

She fondly recalled writing songs with her brother Finneas in his bedroom when they were kids. They loved what they did. Billie said, “Something like I do for no reason, but for fun.” Yet, having fun might be the most profound reason of all. Just saying.

Hi there,

Hi there,

I am Mariam, you can call me Adedoyin too, it’s fine by me. I am on a mission to put every single piece of my experiences together, I’m trying to map out my life and what the trajectory has been like.

I will be putting out nonfiction accounts of my life but it will sometimes be ladened with a bit of fiction so as to water them down.

This is my first draft so my thoughts aren’t well processed just yet, but we will get there. Welcome to my page, my world.

I love to tell stories of people and of places, I love to travel- not been doing that in a while but will resume too. Oh, I love food but I’m not an adventurous eater - they call me the picky one at home (Torera) but really, I love eating good food that I know about or seen someone else take and attest to. I don’t see myself trying out octopus or jellyfish anytime soon though.

I have phobia for large bodies of water but I took my first boat ride about 2 months ago, trust me, my heart wasn’t in my chest till I got down from the boat. I was scared, very scared but I was happy that I took that trip - I’ve taken 3 more since then and would love to visit the beach very soon.

I currently do not have many interesting things going on with me but I’ve got some experiences that would thrill you. Welcome once again, I hope that you will have fun.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL — Picks & Plays! Ravens vs Browns
By: Zack Nicol
Tags: Fun, Footbal, NFL, Gambling, Monday Night Football

Monday, December 14th

8:15 PM ET

BALTIMORE RAVENS (-3) at CLEVELAND BROWNS ; O/U 45.5

Model Z Projection: 27–23 BAL

Straight Up Pick: Cleveland Browns

Spread Pick: CLE +3⭐

O/U Pick: Over 45.5⭐

Zack’s Plays:

- Mark Andrews to score (+140)

- Mark Andrews to score 2x (+900)

- Lamar Jackson Over 195.5 Passing Yards (-110)

- CLE D/ST to score (+650)

- Lamar Jackson to throw INT (+124)

Top DFS Matchups: Mark Andrews ($5,300)!, Lamar Jackson ($7,400), Marquise Brown ($5,800)

Notable Inactives: CLE CB1 Denzel Ward

Notes: An AFC North Monday Night Football matchup with big playoff implications. These teams are 7th (Ravens) and 12th (Browns) in the Model Z and we should get a really good game tonight. There’s one player however that is inactive tonight that I cannot get past and that is Cleveland CB1 Denzel Ward. This Browns defense has been pretty good but only has a few players that are highly rated on my model and Ward is the 2nd best (behind Myles Garrett) with a 90 rating. Losing a player of that caliber is like losing a starting RB on offense in my opinion so I am already leaning towards Baltimore for this one. Baltimore over the past few weeks has had the same problem without DL Calais Campbell among others and I believe that’s why they have struggled. They seem to be back to almost full-strength though and that defense is pretty scary when healthy so we’ll see if Baker can handle the pressure. The model agrees with my 1st reaction projecting a 4 point advantage on the road on MNF. With Ward out, their secondary is vulnerable so I’m curious if Lamar can take it to the air tonight with a 200+ game. The one thing I’m nervous about is Baltimore’s Offensive Line. They are towards the bottom of the list at 28th and face one of the best pass rushers in the game in Myles Garrett and their 2nd ranked defensive line. Wow, that’s pretty significant and is making me think twice here. Yeah, I’m switching. Give me the Browns and that significant advantage in the trenches, along with a better offense than the Ravens. Low confidence though obviously.

For matchups, there are a few all in favor of the Ravens:

- The Browns are 30th vWR. Baltimore has a “true #1 WR” in Marquise Brown but he’s still not super reliable so I think he should get some opportunities, just need Lamar to get it to him

- The Browns are 31st vTE. This is the matchup that I think can really get exploited with Mark Andrews. I expect a big game by him.

- Lastly its the Browns vQB at 19th. If Lamar takes it to the air, I think they can get it done tonight, but he has broken the 250 passing yard mark only once and that was week 1.
Don’t Make Me Punch You In The Eyeball!

Every family has their unique sayings and ways of messing around with each other. I’m not sure exactly how it started, but there was one day that I was going somewhere with my son and he was annoying me.

“Don’t make me punch you in the eyeball!”

I don’t even know what made me say that, but it stopped him in his tracks and he started cracking up.

“Really, Mom? The eyeball? Not the eye, not the face, not the mouth, but the eyeball?”

Now, it’s a daily thing where one of us says something stupid or won’t stop saying something and someone pops up with, “Don’t make me punch you in the eyeball!”

Making Strangers Laugh

Yesterday my son and I went to Sam’s Club to do our monthly shopping. We were walking down an aisle. He was tired and a bit cranky so here’s what happened:

Me: “Don’t make me punch you in the eyeball!”

Son: “I’ll punch you in the eyeball before you can even think about punching me in the eyeball.”

Me: “I’ll punch you in the eyeball, and then punch you in the other eyeball.”

Son: “I’ll punch you in the eyeball twice, so the second time you will still be able to see my bony knuckle coming at you!”

For us, this banter was completely normal, but when two ladies passing by started cracking up, I was reminded that we are nowhere near normal. We are a bit strange and I can only imagine what was going on through their minds as they listened to our silly conversation.

Go Shut The Shed Door!

When the pandemic hit and I was stuck on quarantine, my loving husband moved out to the shed for a month to help keep me healthy and safe.

Our meals we would eat outside in the carport, about ten feet apart. At the end of the meal, if we didn’t go out and sit by a fire, he would retreat to the shed.

Well, one night he kept harping on me about something. I can’t even remember what it was. He was standing in the doorway of the shed, about to go to bed, and just kept going on and on.

I waved at him and shouted back over my shoulder, “Go shut the shed door.”

He started laughing.

Him: “You go shut the shed door!”

Me: “I’ll shut the shed door so hard, the shed won’t know what hit it.”

So now anytime someone in our family keeps going on and on about something and we want that person to stop, we say, “Go shut the shed door!”

Does your family have any strange and unique sayings? Do you remember where they came from or what made them start? I’d love to hear your stories!

At the start of every great shonen or shojo, our hero starts alone.

And when you travel, your life kind of becomes like that.

Minus the final boss… :(

The power of frendship in action. (By: SuperSajuuk)

Shortly after sharing my most recent Medium article on Instagram, notifications started popping up from supportive friends all around the world. One after another, I looked at each notification and thought,

“Man, I miss that guy.” Or, “I need to reach out to them.”

A few days ago, my girlfriend Sharna and I were talking about our travels to Europe and we each brought up a few places we visited that the other one had forgotten.

What’s the point?

Traveling isn’t about where you go, but the people you meet.

I was extremely lucky, I became close with the guy who brought me over to Australia and had a community of people who embraced me with open arms.

But…

I did meet my amazing girlfriend of two years outside of baseball and while I can’t claim credit for much except setting my Search Distance Slider to 100km. In the last two years, I have gotten closer to her than I have to anyone in my life.

Drinking on Lake Locarno in Switzerland.

You meet the most interesting people when you live and travel abroad.

My teammates in Switzerland were all doctors, researchers, teachers, and businessmen, but those dudes were wild, and the coolest guys I have ever been around.

Schweizer Meister

Off the top of my head, I can not remember the name of the island in Croatia that Sharna and I traveled to after the 2019 Baseball Federation Cup.

But I can tell you the name of every Swiss National B-League and Under-15 player I coached that year.

We had to meet in the back parking lots of the SBB (Swiss Federal Railways) train station at 6:30 am to carpool 2 1/2 hours across the country to Geneva for doubleheaders. That forms a bond that few understand.

Thank You SBB.

So what is the point of this article?

It’s a part thank you to my friends and part reminder for you to branch out when you’re back traveling again.

Because the people you meet along the way is what makes traveling fun.

I’m a retired baseball player and digital nomad from Miami, Florida, and a pretty laid back guy.

It was so hilarious playing Doctor with my 3 sons!

It was so hilarious playing Doctor with my 3 sons!

Me: “My right knee is bleeding! Help!”

All 3 sons quickly scurried over to my bedroom.

Joel, my youngest son, who just turned 3, asked for my help to open his plastic toy doctor’s suitcase. He took out a small comb and started to comb my hair.

Jayden, aged 6, pretended to freak out incessantly.

Julius, aged 8, was the primary doctor. He was the best actor with a super intense look on his face. He frantically tried to stop the imaginary bleeding from my knee, apparently failed, then yelled in desperation, "I’m not trained for this!"

After a dramatic slight pause, he left hurriedly with his two other brothers following him.

We repeated this 3 more times, each with a slightly different medical emergency.

Fun times! ☺

Hunting and fishing

Hunting is always in a passion for a lot of people. But it’s not all about killing an animal. It’s also fun to sit back and enjoy nature. Or feel the cool breeze blow into you. There are two types hunters. Trophy hunters and meat eaters. Trophy hunters only care about the big ones such as deer elk moose these are just a few animals. Meat eaters are people who go out to get some food on the table. And there is the other hunters who like to get outside and have a good time. now we’ll talk about fishing fishing is fun just sit back and relax on shore dock or a boat. Fishing is a fun sport because it’s relaxing to some people. Or if you like to sit in the sun and wait for your bobber to go down. There are a couple types of fisherman. There are sport fisherman there is catch and release fisherman and the fisherman who like do you keep them and eat them. I like all of these types of fishing there are a ton of people who like to do both hunting and fishing and hopefully you do too. The end

I want to tell my stories. They may be boring, may bring joy, but mostly, I want to be able to return to them when I’m an old and remember that I did try to jot everything down. I’ll be mostly writing it anonymously, but this is all true, everything.

Where do I start? I am not exactly where I like to be, but am grateful for the current blessings. So here is my current life — I work as a software engineer in San Francisco, I’ve recently quit watching porn because I don’t think that it does me any good. My girlfriend doesn’t mind but she doesn’t support it either. My goal is to buy my own house by thirty. I’m for sure still trying to figure things out. In the order of importance, I prioritize health, my family, girlfriend, financial stability, fun, and career. I’m debating to rather start a new video game or to “do something with my life”. I much rather “do something with my life” but I’m not exactly sure what that is. I just hope that the Universe is kind enough to guide me towards my path.

I do have goals that I want to achieve this life time though.

Great and Grateful, Please Your Future Self

Eric Asbeck

Last year, I got a big scare. My doctors wanted to “screen out” a certain cancer and it turns out it would have been very serious. I got the test and then waited…

When I got the result notification online, I thought it was positive. My mind went numb and that evening I was crazy with worry. (I found out the next day that I’d mis-read the test and it was negative, whew!!)

To get a grip on my fear that evening, I got REALLY CLEAR about what I wanted in my life and then looked for how to create ways and opportunities to make it happen.

I set those priorities in one frenzied evening and since then wow, what amazing results I’ve gotten in my life — so many wonderful things have happened.

I’ve traveled to New Zealand, Cuba, and Patagonia. I wintered in Florida to be near my 2 sons, and since then moved there permanently. Even now with Covid isolation, I keep looking at those priorities and finding ways to keep making them happen.

Don’t Wait!

Don’t wait for a “wake up” call! Want to make the most of the rest of your life?

Think about what will bring you more joy.

Kierre explains why Hulk is the most powerful Marvel Superhero. He then shares why while Hulk is the strongest, he wishes to be more like Captain America. | Photo by Kadrian Chambers

The ordinary life of an extraordinary boy.

By Kadrian Chambers | Reporter

Kierre never misses breakfast. Usually, it’s the classic eggs and bacon but on other days it’s Trix cereal because he loves the marshmallows. Kierreturned 11 Nov. 18, and he spent the day indoor skydiving with three of his seven siblings.

Kierre was born in Minneapolis. His mother died when he was younger due to a rare case of heroism. Kierre’s mother donated her organs to save lives.

Kierre now lives with his grandmother and spends most of his time playing either Grand theft Auto, Call of Duty or Assassin’s Creed on his Player Station 4.

“It feels good to be 11,” Kierre said. “I’m almost a teenager”

In addition to his love for video games, Kierre also loves movies. His favorite is Marvel’s Avengers. There is nothing he does not know about them. His favorite superhero is the Incredible Hulk. Kierre is confident that the Incredible Hulk is the strongest superhero.

As to Kierre’s biggest inspiration, he shared that Captain America is who he looks up to.

“I have always wanted to be a soldier,” he said. “When Captain America was skinny, he got picked on and thrown around but he never stopped trying.”

Outside of his Captain America-like desire for resilience, Kierre also has a hunger for exploration. If he could go anywhere, he would seek out “the bottom of the ocean. … Could be some creatures down there I would like to know.”

Kierre describes himself as “fun, a gamer, and exciting.” It took him four seconds to come up with these three words.

Kierre’s favorites:

Favorite food: Shrimp and Crab

Favorite sport: Boxing

Favorite superhero: Hulk

Favorite Movie: Avengers

First date ideas for winter

Planning the perfect activity is the most important and challenging especially when the weather is frightful. The first thing you are supposed to do is to think about having fun

You can have an outdoor picnic put on worm clothes and perhaps get on the snow gear and build a snowman together, it’s a good way to have fun together or you can watch a play musical dance performance in the comfort of your home.

By this time there are chances the city has an elaborated Christmas lights display and so embrace the holiday cheer and invite your date to walk or drive around and admire all the bright sparkling lights .

Team work is also very important and so try to make a gingerbread house that’s a bit more challenging you can even turn it into a competition to see who will make the best house. Another fun first date activity is sledding and finding the nearest Hill is an inexpensive and surefire path towards giggles and get to the playful side of the first date.

Laugh play without judgemental this can help you feel bonded experience connection by trying new activities and have fun

THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Picks and Plays! Patriots vs Rams
By: Zack Nicol
Tags: Fun, Football, Daily Fantasy Spo, NFL, Gambling

Thursday, December 10

8:20 PM ET

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS vs LOS ANGELES RAMS (-4.5) ; O/U 43.5

Model Z Projection: 27–22 LAR

Straight Up Pick: New England Patriots

Spread Pick: NE +4.5⭐

O/U Pick: Over 43.5⭐

Zack’s Plays:

- NE +4.5 (-110)

- A Cam Parlay! Cam Newton to score / Cam Akers to score SGP (+361)

Top DFS Matchups: The Cams! Cam Newton ($5,900), Cam Akers ($5,100)

Notable Injuries: NE WR1 Julian Edelman

Notes: Wow, who saw that New England blowout coming last week over the Chargers? It’s not crazy looking back at it that they won, but 35–0 is just disrespectful towards the rookie. They’ll stay in LA for this one as they try and keep their slim playoff hopes alive (+620 to make the playoffs, ouch). The Pats have a tough road ahead with the Rams, Dolphins (on the road) and the Bills over the next three games. Let’s start with the Rams game though shall we? The Rams are 8th overall on the Model Z and the Patriots are at 21st. I do think the Patriots matchup well against the Rams though as the Patriots defensive weakness is against the run. The Rams are scariest when they are throwing it down the field to Kupp and Woods and the Patriots secondary is arguably the best in the league (including JC Jackson, maybe the most underrated players in the league). On the defensive side, let’s look quickly at how the Rams did against some notable running QBs:

Week 1: D. Prescott — 30 yards rushing (WIN)

Week 3: J. Allen — 8 yards rushing (LOSS)

Week 4: D. Jones- 45 yards rushing (WIN)

Week 10: R. Wilson — 60 yards rushing (WIN)

Week 13: K. Murray — 15 yards rushing (WIN)

That’s not bad, a few high numbers there but 4–1 against running QBs is pretty dang good. Cam is a different animal when it comes to running QBs though as he has 11 rushing TDs through 11 games which is T-3 in the league (including RBs). I think I’m going to take the Patriots to to cover here. Like I said, they matchup well on defense, and the Rams linebackers are just okay and you need those against running QBs. Going against the Model on this pick though so confidence is super low.

For matchups, I only like one:

1. The Patriots vRB is not good. 28th on the Model Z, 18th in rushing yards allowed and 16th in rushing tds allowed. The problem is the snap count share. It’s been Henderson and Brown sharing the lead in snap counts, but Akers is starting to break away from the pack with 63% last week compared to 22% and 16% by the other 2. He also had 9 Red Zone looks, 9! That’s nuts. Look for him to score.

Note: The Rams and Pats are 1 and 2 against the WR in the Model Z so stay away for me there.
A Song: An Unsolved Riddle
By: Roger Himes Esq.
Tags: Fun, Singer, Songs, Music, Guitar

Now I sit alone at night and strum my old guitar

Or I go out and pick a tune in some honky-tonk or bar

Or maybe sit in vain and pray to some far-off morning star. I sit and listen to a song with a good line in the middle

And I think in just how many ways my life’s AN UNSOLVED RIDDLE

Tell me, life, for goodness sake, can’t you give a little? I don’t know why I’m in this life, I need a savior to get me out

Why did Jesus die alone, denied, and down and out?

Lord, am I meant to live my life in misery and doubt?

I had no spiritual leanings at this time, but it was soon after this that I came into a relationship with God through Jesus. That’s when things began to change for me for the better. No, they didn’t get better all at once. Once you dig yourself into a pit, it does often take time to crawl your way out of it. But Eileen and I were reconciled and we’re best friends today.

We even became involved in a marriage ministry for several years:

I like to say:

As a lawyer, I used to get people divorced.

Today, at The Red Barn, I get them married.

It’s a lot better deal.

I still love to sit and sing and play the guitar, and often drink a glass of wine. I’ve written lots of songs. But today, most often I just sing to myself, and to a few neighbors who very graciously listen, and sometimes even applaud.

I used to have a song-list of 350 songs. Today it’s closer to 50, and I often need lyric-prompts (cheat sheets) so I don’t forget the words.

John Denver had the same problem. He said, “It really ticks-me-off!

I write a song and then perform it 500 or more times on stage.

And then suddenly I get up and forget the words.

It just doesn’t make sense.”

John sure touched my heart, as he did millions of others with millions of recordings. A newspaper once said, “Roger has “A Glenn Yarborough sound and a John Denver delivery.” What an astounding compliment!

I composed and recorded a song in tribute to John: THE SINGER. John often said he liked to be called ‘The Singer.’

Singers touch our lives, often deeper than we imagine. I don’t know who wrote these words. If I did I’d give them credit. I included in this a book I wrote in 1999, just after his untimely death: JOHN DENVER’S LEGACY.
How to be Active

Tags: Fitness, Fun, Netflix, Activity, Excercise

Being active is one of the hardest things to do. Whether you live in the City or a Rural town, you can be active. The big thing is doing something you love or at least enjoy doing with someone. You may not enjoy the activity, but if you do it with someone that you like to be around it will make it worth it.

I find it hard to be active definitely when I can get a blanket and sit on the couch and snuggle up in a warm blanket with some snacks and binge watch Netflix. I love to do that, but to do that I make myself do something active first. I personally have found that walking and running makes me happy, it is cheap and you can go explore and make it fun. Walking is a time to go chat with a friend or relieve built up stress you have that needs releasing. Walking or running doesn’t also have to be for that long it can be for ten minutes as long as you are getting out and doing it.

If you like being active but a little more you can find clubs or groups to do activities with that will hold you accountable for going and it will be something you actually want to do. I have found many clubs near me for example sand volleyball. I never played volleyball before a friend brought me to play, but the group taught me how and it was a great time and I forgot all stress and was focused on winning the game because of my competitiveness. I will never forget the bonds I made with them and that I am still making. I also have started to pick up fishing, I am not that good, but it is fun to be out there in nature and seeing the fish to remind me of the beautiful world we live in.

Clubs might not be your thing or team sports so you can do individual sports or activities. I like doing running races that are a series because I then hold myself accountable to go to every one of them and that gets me out. I make it worth and go out to eat after and make it something I won’t dread. My thinking is if I burn some calories here I will treat myself with a few extra calories. Find what is in your area, though or what is around you and just try it.

No one can get you out but yourself so, you half to take the first step and get out. Find something you love and do it, don’t be afraid to try new things. You won’t be good at everything and no one should expect you to be good, especially on your first time trying something. Don’t be afraid of anything because what is going through your head is the worse thing that could happen but it won’t, trust me. Take the first steps and it will be a thing you do that, you won’t think about or regret.
Fun is yours

Fun doesn’t have to mean drinking, partying or socializing, as it was before quarantine.

Fun doesn’t have to mean attending all those online yoga classes and Zoom cocktail gatherings, as it is today.

Likewise, all those sorts of things like celebrity memoirs, TV dramas, expensive consumer goods, that the modern attention economy wants us to believe that they’re the funniest thing we could be doing.

And I think, you’ve probably noticed how quickly all these things began to be called ‘fun’. And so people end up forcing themselves to do it, which doesn’t make much sense.

Because ‘fun’ is a personal thing, and not necessarily in anyone else’s commercial interests. So make sure you define it.

For me, in recent weeks, that’s meant getting lost in a book, listening to my favorite music, a deep conversation and writing.

Don’t subscribe to other people’s definition of ‘fun’ is what I’m trying to say.

What does ‘having fun’ mean to you?

It’s easier to enjoy a new language than it seems

It’s easier to enjoy a new language than it seems. No matter how much you struggle right now, you can change that. Language-learning is fun. There, I said it.

If you’re not having fun, stop what you’re doing and change things up. There’s a way for you to have fun. It may not be what others do to have fun in the language but it’s fine. What matters is that you have fun.

Fun comes with experimentation. Try new things. Learn a new hobby in the language. Use a recipe in a different language. Meet someone new who speaks the language. Write your diary in the language. Watch Netflix with double subtitles with the Language Learning with Netflix extension. Anything.

You need to have fun. So go out and play with the language!
Screen Time impacts on kids’ and babies’ growth, how to avoid it?
Tags: Babygrowth, Baby, Garbh Sanskar

Multiple studies are done around screen time but overall none gave any major positive benefits of screentime for the babies after COVID reports suggest screentime of kids risen to 3 hours per day on an average. Also, due to work from home kids less than 2 years are getting exposed to it.

Age-wise impact of screen time on kids and babies -

Age less than 2 years — Language issues, vocal problems, Slow body movements, and lack of cognitive development are major issues which studies show if a toddler of lesser than 2 years age is exposed to TV/Mobile.

Age group 2–5 years — Overweight, Lack of activity, Slow education, Eye problems, etc. are major issues that are observed among kids of 2–5 years with excess screen time.

Commercial TV often introduces children to advertising for unhealthy foods while strengthening sedentary habits, and facilitates snacking, which raises total food consumption. Most studies have identified negative results with as little as 1 hour/day of exposure in a 2012 systematic analysis of TV watching and adverse dietary results in kids 2 to 5 years old. The amount of time spent watching screens before bedtime is correlated with an increase in sleep issues for this age group, and evidence indicates that screen time volume is detrimental to sleep habits rather than content alone. Due in part to melatonin reduction, the presence of any electronic device in a bedroom is correlated with fewer minutes of sleep each night.

Helping Raise a Sibling at 15 Yrs. Old
By: Michael Munoz
Tags: Brothers, Baby, Life Lessons, Siblings, Sisters

When you lived all your childhood as an only child you learn to do things for yourself. I was 15 years old when my baby sister was born. Never did I think I would ever have a sibling. For me being an only child was very sad, lonely, and at times depressing. I grew up with no one my age and I kind of became a custom to it. When my sister was born I was a sophomore in high school and was one of the only kids in my grade to have a really big age gap between siblings. I didn’t have a problem with it because for the first time I could have conversations about having a sibling in general. Since I was older and had such an age gap between my sister and I, it was easy for me to adjust to the responsible older brother. I took care of her, fed her, changed her diaper all the necessities. I know a lot guys in general or older brothers wouldn’t bother to do those things but for me I didn’t mind. Every summer I would watch my sister since I was in high school and she was now a toddler. I would wake up go to her crib and then take her out, feed her, change her diaper, etc. I provided 2 meals a day for her. We played games, watched TV, went outside for walks and went to the park. I know it’s a lot of responsibility for a now 16 year old but to me it was fun spending time with my sister. I had been longing so long for a sibling that this was less of a chore and more about making memories. Fast forward to 10 years later, I am 25 years old and she is 10. We are still super close and hang out all the time. We watch Netflix, play video games, go play soccer, drink Starbucks, go to the beach! You know the usual California thing. I like to think of this experience as training for when I become a Father, which will be in the far future because this kids was expensive! LOL
5 Things I Learned After Having A Baby
Tags: Parenting, Baby

The first few weeks at home with our newborn was like building a plane while flying. Yes, people say this in the corporate world, but building slides is easy compared to a screaming baby. This was the steepest learning curve we have ever been on, all while sleep deprived and trying to keep our baby alive. Everyone has a different journey, but here are a few observations of our experience so far.

You get even less free time than you expect.

If a baby goes “three hours between feeds”, you only get two hours of free time because it takes an hour to feed, burp, and put the baby to sleep. Each additional hour between feeds is huge.

See #1, if baby goes three hours between feeds, you get two hours free. If baby goes four hours between feeds, that’s three hours free — 50% more!! If breastfeeding, don’t expect a full night’s sleep…possibly ever.

Your body keeps producing milk at the rate your baby feeds, so even if someone else is feeding him with a bottle, you still have to pump! At the end of the day, newborns aren’t that complicated.

They need milk, sleep, new diapers, and some stimulation when they’re awake. You find a new world of knowledge from others after having a baby.

Before having a baby, we knew nothing about ECVs, jaundice, or tongue ties. But after asking, it seems everyone has had at least two of the three!
How many baby pants does your baby need?
Tags: Baby, Baby Love, Motherhood, Parents Love, Baby Care

How many baby pants does your baby need?

You decide the choice of your baby pants way before your cute baby is even born. If you haven’t, then you’ll need a plan for this. You cannot focus on pilling the entire stock without planning. Experienced parents have an idea of how a newborn can utilize around 2500 disposable baby pants in a single year. They even have a brand loyalty perspective in their lives. However, if you’re a first-time parent, then try the Doobidoo baby pants for the comfort of your little angel.

You might have seen how friends and family gift baby pants during baby showers. It is very often that babies tend to gain 1–2 kgs within their first month, and when it comes to heavier babies, they entirely skip the size chart. Baby pants for newborns come in various sizes, so make sure to keep enough storage room for them. Prefer asking for gift cards instead of baby pants for a newborn for a convenient experience.

Friendly Reminder: Babies come in numerous sizes and shapes because of which it is hard to identify what baby pants will be suitable for a baby.

Baby pant change frequency-

You should change the baby pant of your baby every time they have bowel movements. If not that then at least every 2 to 3 hours. If you do not take care of the frequent changes of baby pants, then it might lead to baby rashes or yeast infection. Thus, be harmful to your baby. However with a Doobidoo baby pant, your baby can roam freely without any discomfort even if he/she pees in his/her baby pant.

Baby pant Size

The chart above will help you to choose the best-suited baby pant for your little angel. If you feel that the size is overlapping another Baby pant, then it is best to buy a larger sized Doobidoo baby pant. As a parent, you will know when to buy a larger baby pant when your baby’s skin is red, has irritation or has marks on the waist, which can be due to the elastic on the waist lines that cannot be closed with ease. To know the fitting of a baby pant, it should be two finger gaps from the waistband and the baby’s stomach and one finger between the child’s leg and baby pant leg elastic.

Another way to know that your baby needs a larger baby pant size is when he is growing or if there is slight dripping from the sides. If the baby pant can’t hold the moisture between changes, then your kid might be willing for the next size up.

Conclusion

All babies are unique. When deciding which type of baby pants and how many to purchase, take advice from our website here. No matter what baby pant size you use for your child, having a smart stock at home can save your money and keep you stress free. Buying the Doobidoo baby pants will help you feel more at ease and prepared for your baby’s arrival and a healthy lifestyle.
