    I'm having a hard time understanding here. if you're on your side isn't one leg/hip on top of the other?

    Yes. The top leg is at just enough of angle to cause irritation in the hip

    gotcha, yeah I started putting a pillow between my legs and it helped with alignment. I originally started because my knee bones would rub together during the night and I'd wake up with pain in both knees.

    just found one of my eyebrow hairs that was an inch long and sticking out all curly and gross. pretty sure that wasn't there yesterday. this feels like an old person thing.

    i'm going to have to go to CVS and keep buying popov and fireball until someone cards me.

    What makes me immediately feel old, is remembering how I felt about my parents' generation finally having access to and using Facebook, and then fast forward to me first downloading and trying to use Tik Tok. Absolutely brutal. :old:

    I started a new job a few weeks ago and we have a lot of young analysts in the office. I was once in their shoes so I tried to be cool and shoot the shit when they were talking football this afternoon. I told them I was a Commanders fan and said I was like 5 years old when I stupidly picked them as my team. One of them said, “ohhh was that when Sean Taylor was playing?” I was a freshman in college his rookie season.

    When I was running this morning, thinking I was going at a real good pace, and then a middle school aged kid blew past me.
