Sythetic T

I heard today about a testosterone synthetic. I wonder what this is used for? Why do you need to synthesize testosterone? Can't you just inject the real thing or is that not practical to obtain?

I would also think that there would be a way to just tell the body to make more than it already does, but I don't know that for sure. Not that I know of any side effects of syntheroid but I'm just thinking out loud.

Have you ever been treated for low T? If so how did it go? Were the results positive. I have not been diagnosed with anything like that but I was just curious about it since it has been in the news lately.

Rone

I think that I still have a lot to learn about testosterone. It still amazes me how some guys have so much more of it than others. Sometimes that's a really good thing, and other times it's not.

It can make you strong and attractive, or make you violent and bullheaded. It seems that a perfect balance must be struck, but where is the line?

Does it only really matter in the formative years when you are growing up or do higher levels as an adult make a difference? In what ways?

Clearly there is a lot I don't know, and the answers may already be out there, but I'm not sure how to sort the right ones from the wrong ones.

Budget Hammer

If you get the chance, check out the budget app I just created and launched. You can check out my other blog for a tutorial. Let me know what you think and if you have a problem or think of a feature that would be helpful.

Color Splash

My wife has informed me that we will be repainting our bedroom over Memorial Day weekend. I really hate painting but just doing one room isn't too bad. I actually like the idea she has for the change up. For the longest time we have had a dark green paint on the walls, and she want's to brighten it up.

We're going with a turquoise color on the walls as well as new black and white bedding. We are not getting a new bedroom vanity set however, as we want to keep this to a minimum cost-wise.

From the example pictures she showed me I agree that it will look pretty good and I'm excited about the change, if not the work.

Skin Care

I'm a little concerned about my skin in the upcoming weeks. We are heading to Myrtle Beach in about 3 weeks and I don't really have an ocean tanning solution. I have always tanned easy but I'm a bit worried about it after all the news about how dangerous it can be for your skin.

I think my plan will be to use sunscreen at all times. I don't typically go without a shirt so if I don't use some sort of protection I will probably get fried, and not only is that no fun, it's really not good for you.

I think it will be a big challenge to avoid all that given how much time we will be spending outside but I will do my best.

Holmgren

Mike Holmgren was on Mike and Mike this morning and I frankly didn't learn much that I didn't already know. I still think that they got taken on that trade in the first round despite his explanations of why it needed to be done.

For some reason the Browns always overpay for picks.

He also talked about how he won't declare Weeden the starter because it puts too much pressure on him. Whether he says it or not, Weeden knows he has to be the guy right now, so the pressure exists.

Clothes

Buying clothes can really put a dent in your budget, but we all have to have them so finding ways to save is a must. There are many options for buying cheaper clothes and not all of them are appealing but you can make your money stretch if you do you research.

Buying wholesale clothes or buying on Ebay can save you a lot. And don't rule out the local thrift shops. I've gotten a lot of great deals on clothes there that were new or very close to it.

Take your time and don't just buy the latest trends because you won't save much money that way. You can go through a lot of money very quickly doing things that way.

I just love this

Insurance For Anything

It seems that you can buy insurance for just about anything. I have heard of football players insuring themselves against injury and even errors and omissions insurance for documents. ( I couldn't afford the premiums I'd have to pay for this blog).

Insurance is a weird thing in that you are paying for something you hope to never use. Really, does that make sense. Spending money on something you truly never want to make use of. Strange but it really is important in a lot of cases. Just strange when you think about it in those terms.

So, Now What?
