Still running good for the New Year, but volume's still a problem.  My last *session* of the week (the second 2/3!!! of the graph) was particularly awesome because I dropped like 3K and made it all back and another $1,500 to boot.


TOP 5 GHEY THINGS I ENJOY HAVING AROUND THE HOUSE

5) Boxer briefs.  You're probably saying, "whoa DFly!  That's waaaay TMI."  But seriously, I was a briefs guy most of my life but I always felt like the briefs were jamming my family jewels into my massive midsection.  Seriously uncomfortable.  Not to mention that it's possible briefs can cause temporary infertility.  So when the Mrs. and I were trying to start a family, I switched to boxers, but my boys and the surrounding flora were a little too wild to be let loose like that.  That's where boxer briefs come in - partial containment that's not too restrictive.  Ahhh...  (I have a confession to make - I had to suck in my tummy for this photo)

4) Dental pick/floss.  My dental hygiene is poor at best.  Oddly, I have strong teeth.  But these easy-to-use dental floss thingies make flossing so much easier and faster.  No more messing around with slobber-filled floss around your fingers.  So now, rather than flossing once a month, I floss once a week.  The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

3) Scruples enforce sculpting glaze.  This is hands down the best hair gel EVER.  I have no idea what that green neon snot-like goo is that seems to be so prevalent in drug stores, but if you want hold, this is the nuts. The smell is oddly addictive - almost like a magic marker (so I hear), but more fragrant.

2) Egyptian cotton sheets (700 thread count).  Normally, I would never have thought to buy something like this because I'm a cheap ass and I don't spend money on frivolous things.  But one day, Mrs. Fly bot some Egyptian cotton high thread count sheets and I couldn't believe how soft they were.  It's like the best old T-shirt you have times 5.  I mean if you're going to spend 1/3 of your life in your bed, you might as well well not chintz out.  They have much higher thread count sheets.  They say thread counts over 300 aren't worth it, but I just let Mrs. Fly decide.

1) Foaming Soap.  As you may have guessed from my flossing comments, I'm not really a huge hygiene guy.  Like if I have some germs on my hands, so what?  I'm kind of old school that way - anything that doesn't kill me will only make me stronger.  Anyway, foaming soaps are really awesome because it takes like 50% of the work of washing your hands out.  Ya - I realize the whole point of washing your hands is to rub them together vigorously.  But hey!  Washing lightly with foaming soap is better than nothing!
