How did you spice things up in your life?

While I am leaning towards sex, any thing that you felt that spiced up your life works B-)

46

As far as sex goes, occasionally I'll invite a second person

Hell yeah! Two-somes are lit.

for really real. i am pretty tired of all the “ménage a un” and onesomes i have been having.

Hah nice sentence! Lit in French is a bed.

if you ever are feeling depressed/hopeless, go sit on the grass in a cemetery for a good minute. then visit a hospice, then visit a retirement home.

if you ever dont feel like doing some chore around the house, try doing it blindfolded or without your hands. it becomes awesome and hilarious.

if you find yourself trapped in a conversation, throw in a totally unrelated quote.

if someone is being mean to you, say their name and then stay silent.

oh and for sex stuff, be unpredictable and enthusiastic. many people are just missing FUN.

There's only so many times I want to hear "Wrong hole!" shouted at me though.

Usually salt, black pepper, red pepper, cumin, cardamom, dried hot chilies, cinnamon, coriander, and mace.

Often herbs as well.

Usually you want to dry roast them together first.

Instead of dry roast try adding just a bit of neutral vegetable oil. It will bring out more flavor.

Depending on the exact part of life that I want to spice up, clarified butter is nice.

Mmmmm, butter.

Garlic powder! How is that not listed? You are not doing a good spicing up

I think of garlic as being more herb-like than spice. Same with caramelized onions.

I got a better paying job. Pretty much every aspect of my life has since improved.

Frugal challenges, forcing myself to use my bicycle instead of my car where possible, declutter my belongings (why do I even have all this crap I never touched for the last year?!) and trying out weird things in general at least once (like throwing things at the wall and see what sticks).

As far as doin’ it goes, I opened up my mind to trying almost ANYTHING once, twice to make sure I don’t like it. I’ve found I like… almost everything. Hard no: Poo, vomit, farting, genital pain/mutilation.

I'm usually a shut-in due to my studies so to spice things up I go out and chat with strangers and become friends. I never talk to them again though so they just leave. After a few months I go out again and the cycle continues. Keeps me down to earth. Keeps me sane.

Get a motorcycle. Ok, so if you don’t know how to ride, get a cheap second hand bike under 600cc and take the MSF Basic Rider course. Guaranteed to spice up your life, give you a desire to get out of the house, and you’ll meet many cool people.

Started playing Sabacc, which brought me a lot of local friends.

Never heard of it but sounds cool! Maybe I should try it!

Factorio has made me a unkempt recluse surrounded by drawings and diagrams that ive drawn that not even I can make sense of.

Sabacc? Starwars Sabacc? With interference fields etc?

As a computer game?

Or a real physical card game

Sweet! I only learned about real-world Sabacc after how much enjoyment I got out of the Kessel Sabacc minigame in Outlaws. Looks like there are a few cantina tables in my area, might check them out.

I quit my steady job, broke up with my beloved gf of many years, moved back to my home country and am living with my dad.

Just started a new job. Spicy.

Why did you break up?

My family was a mess in my home country and my siblings were doing heavy lifting without me. Also, despite the strong love between us we had language issues and I was slowly retreating into my own head abroad.

(imagine: if every ounce of wit or humour you had, fell on deaf ears, or had to be explained, or said less elegantly. A piece of you dies every time.)

I think I would have resented her if we started a family, as I likely would have gone into full autopilot. I wish I was born there, or that she was born here. We really could have been happy if it weren't for the communication barrier. She still means the world to me, and I just want her to be happy.

Sex on a schedule

Like "0 0 1 1 *"?

Or something more serious?

(The choice between a "daemon in the sheets" or "cronD in your log folder" joke is left as an exercise for the reader.)
