With everyone going stir crazy during lock down and a large number of people, seemingly unable to resist the urge to shave their heads.
I wanted to know, what kind of relationships guys have been making when it comes to the grooming department.

Looking forward to your feedback!!!
I have been following, some of you quite closely I will admit, as people post on their social media platforms; progress on & gripes about their “altered” work out regime, due to physical distancing and other preventative health measures as outlined by health officials.
More so, I have been focused on those of you that are posting positively about your experiences. Not so much as a show off but more so in a “wow didn’t think I’d get such a good work out in” or even better is “wow when did that bump and groove start to grow?”
That leads me to asking these questions and I would love to hear your responses; just leave a comment in the comment section below.
Drop a few notes in the comments below; or if your experience is more personal, feel free to just email me directly.
I hope to hear from ya!
Cheers, turnip.
If you have been super conscious about washing your hands in recent weeks; then you may be feeling the pains and strains of all that soap and hand sanitizer. Especially, if you have not been keeping up with moisture replenishment.
Keeping your skin moisturized is important, not only now but in every day health. Dry and cracked skin is more susceptible to further irritation and possible infections.
It is important to note that moisturizing your hands does not in any way make it easier for you to acquire bacteria or germs. Especially, if your hands are clean when you apply the moisturizer.
It may also be a relief to note that you don’t have to be constantly be adding lotion to your hands. Start with giving yourself a really good application at bed time or in the evening when you are watching TV. Giving your hands a full night to soak up the moisture and nutrients.
Recommendations:
You do not need to get super fancy lotion either. Especially to start out with. I am a huge fan of Vaseline Men Healing Moisture Hand and Body Lotion Extra Strength as it has never let me down.
A trick that I learned from an old friend of mine, if you have really dry cuticles; Sweet Almond Oil (put a drop on the nail bed and gently massage it in). Vaseline Petroleum Jelly with Cocoa Butter is really amazing at the same time.
Keep those hands happy!
Just over a year ago I asked if you, the reader, had certain pairs of underwear set aside for different tasks. Basically, I just wanted to know if you had work undies and play undies.
If you missed that story and voting in the POLL, please take a quick moment to read it here but then come back to finish this story and poll too!
What I am curious about now that many of you are working from home. Are you keeping the routine of getting dressed for work including the work undies or are you enjoying a more comfortable wardrobe and maybe your fav pair of beat up undies that your right nut falls out of every once in a while when you move in a certain way.
Or are you being fancy and switching it up?
In the first poll 87% (45 votes) said that you wore different undies on your days off. Surprisingly, not really, no one answered “Always Commando”.
So what is happening now with you and your ginch!

And lastly, this most important question!

If you answered “YES” – where? Answer in the comments below!
I’ve been silent for a while. My priorities were drastically altered for me. My plan was to slowly work myself back into a routine here.
Today is not that day. This one is coming on full force.
I sat down to begin my day and I tuned into Pride Radio to listen to the Breakfast Show with host Peter Darrant.
This morning, while entertaining as always (including trying to dance to Utah Saints at 0430 my time, and not wake my neighbours), took a turn when Peter shared a story from a young queer individual that had to move back home to shelter in response to the global pandemic that is COVID—19.
This individual described that not only were their parents homophobic, they were, what I would call, religious fanatics. This individual goes on to describe the blatant abuse that they are subject to daily.
That broke me. Filled me with rage.
Rage.

Take a peek at this sexy fashion jock and harness below then head to Jockstrap Central to get yourself into some new gear.
I will use toilet paper to illustrate my line of thinking.
There is now a mass number of people who have gone out like mad and bought up all the toilet paper in preparation should they catch a respiratory illness and have to stay home.
Once this mass of people realize that “the end of the world” isn’t coming and that they would like to reconvert their “Emergency Toilet Paper Supply Bunker” back into their spare bedroom or garage; they are going to start doubling or even tripling up on their usage.
Flushing 2 to 3 times the toilet paper, putting extra strain on the city’s resources and then of course the strain on the environment and our fresh water supply.
I mean, really people, how much toilet paper would you need for 14 days if you were quarantined?
Wait, I got it! I finally made the connection between respiratory illness and toilet paper. These people have their heads so far up their asses; 2 birds 1 stone. Right?
Last week I noticed someone posted the following on Facebook. I took it as another snide self important gay dude thinking he was a “know-it-all” bully that had to make fun of someone.
Posts like this are really beginning to push me over the edge. I’m losing my patience with the voracity in which people are so eager to be the one to make a smart or witty comment they end up looking like a complete twat themselves.

A few months ago, I had shingles. Exposure, I am sure, to more people that have not been vaccinated properly.
What is interesting, is that I responded immediately to the medication I was given.
The boost in immune response was attributed the high levels of anti viral and other medications in my system.
Now, before you say, “ya but..”
Yes, dudes have been foregoing condom usage, as they feel “protected”. Another conversation for another day.
In this case, let’s not all jump to conclusions, in order to be sure we don’t look an ass ourselves.
Maybe? Just maybe…there is some truth to the “overheard quip”.
I think though, that if this direction of research and treatment does show promise or even the resolution to this viral outbreak, we really need to sit down and watch what happens.
Will it sink in. That once again a faggot saves the day.
It has been a while since I have sat down and written a review or shared any experiences with you. I may be a little rusty…
Made a reservation (online) for 15:30 at Hendrik’s, a gorgeous new restaurant in the Eaton Centre shopping centre in Toronto. Just south of Toronto’s iconic Dundas Square.
Upon arrival we were pushed/encouraged to instead move to the lounge for Happy Hour rather than sit in the dining room as we had reserved.
We were shown the special seasonal happy hour menu and sat at our table, in the bar, with the special seasonal happy hour menu and told that the chef’s tacos on the special seasonal happy hour menu were fish tacos.
Picture it.
We are cozy, getting settled, people are zipping past the windows, there’s a happy buzz in the air, we are sitting next to other tables, having fun, drinks and they have these amazing nibbles, that have just received, after placing their order off the happy hour menu. (Happy Hour 15:00 to 18:00).
This is great…its going to be fun…
As we are waiting for our beverages, and to order off the happy hour menu, a manager comes over and takes away the happy hour menu and tells us there is no happy hour.
In fact the manager told us that corporate/head office took the items out of the computer and it was physically impossible for any items on the happy hour menu to be produced or entered into the system.
As I am asking a question, of the manager, to clarify, the manager just turns and walks away from me. With, a stack of probably 6 or 7 other happy hour menus that have been removed from other tables.
Our servers were amazing. They were caught off guard that there wasn’t a happy hour & that the menu had been taken away. It created an uncomfortable situation, for the servers and our time there.
The drinks were amazing. Thanks to our bartender.
The food was spot on…I actually enjoyed kale…thanks to the chefs & kitchen team. Our servers, prompt, friendly and personable….perfection.
The dinnerware is sexy and has personality too.
We did not stick around for coffee and dessert.
Well we have done it again. Even though you’ve not seen us around…we are still here and we are doing it again! Pride and Remembrance Run 2019!
So that means while we are the ones sliding on the spandex and sweating our way around the 3K course…we want you to open up your wallets and show us your love and support and part with some of your cash!
There are options on how you can share your live, support and desire to help LGBTQ Community grow stronger.
The Pride and Remembrance Run is extremely important for both UrbanGuyTO and turnipHed. We have both experienced losses close to us and last year we were all reeling from the discovery of a serial killer in our midst.
It definitely felt more like a Remembrance run than a Pride Run.
This year, we are encouraging you to TURNIP YOUR PRIDE and join us in waving our “flag” this 2019 Pride Season.
This year we have some exciting BENEFICIARIES that will benefit from our STRENGTH, DETERMINATION and RESOLVE as well as our SWEAT!
