May I ask, is Thanksgiving celebrated across Australia on the 2nd Monday of October?  My Internet searching and Wikipedia are not clear on that. 

No, Thanksgiving here. It was a reference to Canadian Thanksgiving.

Sorry, that should have said that we don't have Thanksgiving here. Even if we did, having it in spring wouldn't make sense. Harvesting would be the time to mark it, not sowing.

Men Aren't Washing Correctly. Here's How to Wash Your Penis

A survey of men found that the majority of men are washing their penises wrong. Here's how to wash your penis the right...

 

Even though the standard medical advice, according to The Derm Review, says you should watch it daily, 21.6 percent of men surveyed fail to do so. 11.9 percent of respondents said that they only wash their genitals once every few days, and, worse, almost 10 percent wash their penis once a week or less.

That being said, it’s not all bad news — the majority of men who responded to the survey did say they wash their penis once a day (39.7 percent), and just about the same amount of men who responded they wash twice a day — but more isn’t always better, as there is such a thing as too much showering and overwashing.

“Washing too often can actually cause problems as well. The skin in this area is very sensitive and washing it more than once a day can cause irritation, dryness, and itching,” Elle McLeman of Derm Review says.

Still, worse than washing too often is washing not often enough, and Macleman points to the dangers of not washing your junk in blunt terms: “Infrequent washing will not only result in an unpleasant smell, but it is also a breeding ground for bacteria and can cause pain and infection.”

If this is true, then shouldn't you also wash your asshole every day as well?

Austin Willingham moved to Rotterdam, Netherlands in 2025 on a Dutch American Friendship Treaty (DAFT) visa.

 

An American from Alabama relocated to Rotterdam, Netherlands, using a DAFT visa, citing a desire for better work-life balance and a clearer path to permanent residency compared to the U.S. The move was also influenced by the lower cost of essentials and a welcoming atmosphere in Rotterdam.
