    If your joints hurt, then I really recommend seeing a doctor. I’m serious, joints are no joke, and supplements won’t fix the issue. They might even make it worse.

    I get that it’s a stereotype, but anything labeled healthy food sounds super gross to me. I’m not good at cooking, maybe that’s the whole problem. How are you supposed to eat healthy if you can’t cook?

    Learn how? I don’t get what people mean when they say “I can’t cook.” You can learn anything. Plus, there are all kinds of meal delivery servic…[Read more]

    The only supplements I take are vitamin complexes, and I only buy the ones my doctor prescribes based on my tests that show deficiencies and stuff. I try not to mess around on my own, especially with stuff I don’t really understand. Same goes for training. Right now I train with the madmuscles app, and even though I don’t have a coach, the wor…[Read more]

    There’s such a huge fitness trend right now. All my friends are doing something. Yoga, gym, running, biking. I feel like I’m the only one who just sits on the couch in their free time. Starting to feel like the odd one out.

    It really annoys me that I can’t just find a good betting platform. I’ve already tried like five different ones, and there’s always some kind of issue. Why can’t things just work out from the first try?

    costalacosta replied to the topic What’s your go-to online casino and why? in the forum General Leica Discussion 3 weeks, 4 days ago

    Depends how it goes. Most of the time I play after work. Playing during work hours seems really weird to me. I don’t do that. But playing poker after work is great. I didn’t learn How to play poker that long ago. I started with the main combinations, some basics of online poker, just the foundation, and then started trying to use it in real games.

    Sorry, but this lingerie looks really cheap to me. I definitely wouldn’t wear something like that. Those lace stockings are especially annoying, and the bra doesn’t give off a good impression either. It seems like a terrible choice for a photoshoot.

    I don't like it when cafes only have QR menus. It’s not always convenient to scroll through a menu on a small screen. And overall, I prefer a paper menu that I can hold in my hands.

    I think my English, which I need primarily for work, is pretty good, so I don't feel the need to improve my skills right now. But I’ve also started learning Spanish, mainly for myself, not for work. Though I wouldn't mind having a high level of Spanish.

    costalacosta replied to the topic A Review of Burger King Service in the forum General Leica Discussion 1 year, 1 month ago

    I haven't eaten at Burger King for ages because since I stopped eating meat, there's basically nothing for me there. I've been going to McDonald's instead since they have fish or shrimp options. But recently, I tried some nachos with a Whopper flavor from Burger King. Honestly, I was impressed. It tasted really good, and it went great with the corn nachos.

    I'm glad I sold my car. I feel much freer now. I realized a long time ago that I didn't really need the car, but it was costing me a lot of money. I even found a buyer very quickly, so it all went smoothly.

    costalacosta replied to the topic Yukon Gold Casino in the forum General Leica Discussion 1 year, 6 months ago

    I've been playing gambling not so long ago, and I always had a fear of dealing with scammers. Perhaps that is why I'm so scrupulous about choosing an online casino. It is most convenient in my opinion to read Revoy as at this link https://playfinacasinoaus.com . Now I'm just playing Playfina, which I liked both game content and security system.

    What online services do you use most often? To be honest, I have always preferred local services in my city, believing that this is a more reliable option.
