and I'm fat, so I've always had an insecurity & confidence problem.

My dad is 80 and is making the stupidest decisions! financial and medical. He's stubborn as hell and thinks he still knows everything. He has 5 children and all of us have tried talking him out of the decisions he's made recently. So I know I am right.

How to soften polo tee

Hi everyone, I have recently received a ralph lauren polo tee as a gift, but i fear i may have ruined it. When i first got it, it was soft, stretchy and comfortable, but after 2 washes, the texture has become hard and rough, almost feels sandy. I set my washing machine to easy care with a bit of softner, just like i normally do with my other clothes. I read online that maybe i used too much or the wrong type of detergent? Any ideas how to fix this as i really treasure this tee and how to avoid this with my other clothes in the future? Much appreciated

I used to have very bad acne which has cleared up a lot now to mostly just occaisional redness. When i shave however my skin which is pretty sensitive gets quite red. I use sensitive skin shaving cream and disposable razors. I am gonna join the army soon so ill need to be able to shave daily. Is this smth ill just have to deal with or does anyone have advice for me?

True story. The little shits will do everything they can to avoid waking you up.

I am 20 and I have little to no independence skills. I know how to run a dishwasher, oven and cooking hob, how to cook a boiled egg, scrambled eggs, rice and pasta. I also know how to do the dishes by hand but that's about it. I grew up in a sheltered middle class household, where my Mum used my type 1 diabetes as an excuse to overprotect me. Whenever my dad would try to discipline me or to teach me anything (which he would always do in a firm but fair way) my Mum would shut him down and tell him to leave me alone. As a result of this upbringing and my internalizing of it, I haven't developed any indepence skills. I can barely do laundry, cooking, or manage my finances so I'm really the lowest of the low. This realisation hit me when my girlfriend became aware of how much I lack indepence. When she'd bring this up with me i took it as an attack, which highlights my internalizing of my Mum's response to whenever my dad would try and discipline me.

I would really like to improve now, and i want to learn all the possible indepence skills, but I have no idea where to start. On my list i currently have:

•Personal hygiene skills i haven't learned yet (shaving, tying my hair up because i have long hair)

•Cleaning skills I haven't learned yet (hoovering, cleaning the house, washing clothes etc)

•Cooking

•Finances

•Getting a job

•Managing my time

•Moving out and doing an apprenticeship or going to University after high school

I'm currently re doing high school which is going well, but I want to compliment this with actually living like an adult. I would really appreciate if anyone could suggest any other skills I should learn, because i really know nothing. If you've imagined how bad it is, it's way worse than that, so if there are any skills that you think are so small that i probably know them, i don't so any and all suggestions are highly appreciated. Thank you so much if you've read until this point and thank you for any advice.

I didn't actually cheat on her. I kept the receipt and can prove. I just don't think I'm ready to tell her the truth yet.

I come from a Christian background so there's always alcohol but I don't drink. But my guests do. What are some alcohol terminologies(like quantity/units[whats a peg/shot etc] , types of alcohol) and how to serve it(Hold in a particular way , types of glasses , which to buy , storage etc)?

I’ve been in the gym a lot recently over the past couple years and I’m starting to look and feel a lot better. I’ve ran into an unexpected problem where more people (men and women) want to talk to me randomly. It’s usually pretty surface level about my clothes or tattoos. I’m kinda introverted so this always throws me off. I always feel like the other person is waiting on a conversation but i never know what to say. Any tips?

I feel stupid. What should I do. I tried electric but I just don’t want a stubble. This is after shaving with the grain as well. I don’t understand how it could be simultaneously leaving cuts and also leaving behind shit ton of hair. Genuinely what am I doing wrong because I feel dumb right now. It’s either me or my skin is just unreceptive to shaving.

I've started to cycle to work so don't really want to carry a glass cologne bottle. The journey warrants more than a roll on but most common sprays I find remind me of teenagers with overpowering sprays

TL;DR What makes a best man speech good?

First time doing this, and I’m not seeking to do anything over the top or grandiose. I just want to be sincere, kind, fun, and maybe share a small insightful thing from my 16 years of marriage.

TYIA!

Hey ya'll,

Hopefully this question makes sense. So I live in a city with a ton of live music and I play in a ton of bands which has me in bars and meeting lots of new people several times a week. I'm a pretty social guy and especially when i catch a girl staring at me I'll usually go introduce myself to her. The thing is, 99% of the time, the girl is there with one or several of her friends. So I'll go introduce myself to the group and chat with everyone. These conversations overwhelming go well. I usually win over the whole group, give them tips on where to go while they're in town and/or tell them about other cool shows I'm playing or know about. Sometimes these girls will find me on instagram even if i never asked to connect there or not. That makes me thing some of these girls are interested even though the conversation never turns explicitly flirty. Here's where my question comes in;

Often times there will be one girl in the group that i like and basically is the main reason i went over and started chatting with them in the first place. But i can never quite figure out how to say "Hey so i like this one in particular and wanted to exchange phone numbers so we can go grab drinks sometime". It just feels like a social faux pa to do that. Am i just over thinking it? Ultimately I'm not even just trying to have casual hook ups, I'd like to find a single girl friend to be in a committed relationship, but I'm just bad at transitioning it from "friendly guy chatting to the whole group" to "ok I'm actually interested in going on a date with one of you". What are ya'lls thoughts?

Thanks!
