Confession of the Day
Don’t be like me
My wife and I were together 9 years, married 6 when I started my affair. We have two kids. I didn’t realize just how good I had it. She was a supportive, loving, kind woman who put me and the kids before herself every time, and I didn’t appreciate that. I felt like she didn’t praise me enough for the things I did for the family, which I now realize was pretty bare bones compared to what she did for us. I felt like we didn’t have sex enough and like my efforts to look good for her weren’t appreciated or reciprocated. I resented how much time she spent with the kids vs. with me. I thought she didn’t put in enough effort to be interested in my hobbies.
My AP was ten years younger than me, when the affair started I was 31 and she was 21. I liked the attention from a younger woman who wasn’t always tired from keeping up with the kids and who stroked my inflated ego. I was a selfish bastard. I drank too much, I told my wife I was working late or hanging out with friends when really I was with my AP.
The Toxic Effects of Workplace Gossip
In today’s dynamic workplace, amidst the buzz of project updates and team collaborations, there’s an undercurrent that often goes unnoticed but can be deeply damaging: office gossip. These seemingly innocuous whispers, often shared around coffee breaks or in hushed corridor conversations, can have profound implications for an organization’s culture and its members.
Picture of the Day
Site of San Jose meth lab, bomb-making operation on sale for $1.5M
A spacious six-bedroom San Jose residence, spanning 6,000 square feet, which previously contained a meth lab and bomb-making operation, is on the market for $1.5 million.
The official Redfin listing for the property at 668 Potomac Court mentions the presence of a “dormant meth lab and related contamination,” directing potential buyers to county records for details.
The listing further states that any cleanup and associated expenses fall on the shoulders of the future owner. Moreover, the property hasn’t been certified as contamination-free, and access is restricted until the Santa Clara County Health Department gives the green light.
On the brighter side:
The property boasts a prime location opposite Gunderson High School and offers easy freeway access, as highlighted by its Zillow listing.
Cindy Selleos, the listing agent from Keller Williams Realty-Silicon Valley, hasn’t commented on the listing. However, the recent $125,000 price hike suggests she’s optimistic about its sale.
The Kobeissi Letter, a website offering insights into global capital markets, humorously pointed out the listing, commenting on the peculiar state of the current housing market. The site also mentioned that other properties in the vicinity, without a meth lab history, are priced around $1.6 million.
Historically, the house was occupied by Peter Karasev. He was taken into custody in March when authorities discovered explosive materials and drug-related equipment on the premises.

This Site Helps You Choose The Best Photos For Your Dating, Social And Business Profiles
I don’t know about everyone else but I really didn’t understand how to take proper photos and it lead to me wasting a bunch of time swiping on tinder and doubting myself.
Photofeeler is sorta like Tinder but you just get the raw data on what people think about your pics. I found out real quick that some selfies that I thought were nice weren’t nice at all. I followed the advice on their blog and had my mom take some pics of me (your mom wants you to find someone too, bro. Don’t be afraid to ask her for help). Quickly got some data saying that the photos were nice and started using them. The difference has been huge!
In fact, my highest rated photo on photofeeler was this kinda messy photo that I definitely brushed off at first. But the data spoke for itself and as soon as I made it my main tinder photo BAM I went from a match every few months (and they mostly ghosted me) to several per week with good convo and actual dates.
I encourage anyone sitting on the toilet swiping and wondering when they’re gonna go on a date to check out photofeeler. If you’re gonna spend a bunch of time on tinder it’s probably best to make the best of that time, right?
Why Women Cheat According To A Cheater
The first time we slept together he told me “I’ve wanted this for so long”, and “You’re so amazing” and then held me all night. Even now he praises me the entire time we’re together and takes any opportunity he can get for us to spend the night next to each other.
The last time you and I had sex, you said “thanks”, wiped yourself off, and went about your day. When I sleep close to you, you complain about my hair tickling or irritating you and you move away.
He kisses me. Deep, passionately, before, during, and after. My lips, my neck, my collarbone and more.
You give me a quick peck to say hello and goodbye. Never closing your eyes, never lingering for half a second.
Make It Stupid Easy, But Do It Every Day
After a decade of setting goals every year and never achieving them, here’s what finally clicked:
High performers are successful as a result of consistent action, not intense effort.
This single realization led me to a framework for building habits that has changed my life.
What Happened to the Running Back Position in the NFL?
The running back position in the NFL, once the crown jewel of the league, has undergone a significant transformation over the past few decades. From being the face of teams and the highest-paid players, running backs have seen their market value and respect diminish considerably. This shift is not just a matter of changing game strategies but is deeply rooted in various factors that have evolved over time.
