Yeah, I hate to think how you'd feel after that.

My shoulders will be killing me later. Just got back from my first workout in a long time. I decided to focus on my shoulders for my punching power and arm stamina for Muay Thai when I go back. Fun new way to use dumbbells, Hold onto a 10 lb(er) in each hand and start throwing jabs, crosses, hooks and uppercuts. Do this for 3-5 minutes for a set and do 3-5 sets

I wish I could work out. I need to. The doctor told me I NEED to. Just am unable to find the..... something to make me actually do so. Motivation, I have lots of reasons to do so. It is deeper then that. Good luck to you WR.
Start off with walking to work. It's done wonders for me.
Huh. I didn't realize how far away my job is because it's such a quick drive on not-so-heavily-travelled roads... I think 7.5 miles is longer than I would want to walk each way :(

Do it on a saturday or on a day off. You'd be surprised how much ground you can cover when you aren't conciously thinking about it.

I was doing that. Of course I lived about 7 blocks from work so why waste the gas. Then we moved the center to a new building on the north side of town. 12 miles away. Then I moved 3 more miles south. 15 miles to and from work is outside of my personal fitness level right now.

That's a distance I've walked before, that's not what concerns me, actually. It's the fact that it would take me at least 1:45 (possibly 2 hours if I'm pacing myself) each way, and while I do need more exercise, 4 hours a day is a bit more than I can fit in.

I was thinking about doing this last night, but sleep won out. I usually use a good...god, what 40-50 pound dumbell I can hold with both hands for practicing sword strikes.

I am only using 10 lbs to reinforce the muscles and get back in the swing of things. Let me work up to 40-50 in each hand. That should work out the arms and give some good power to my punches

lol. I just recently conquered my fridge and dishes mountain. It was difficult. There were casualties. It was truly nauseating, but in the end, victory was mine. ;)

Well, sort of. Turns out we don't actually have anything to eat, but you know, other than that. :)


Brrr. Rain is cold. And now my clothes are sopping. :(

But the kidlet got double green today. Woohoo! :)

Awright folks, I'm off for now. I gotta nice, leisurely walk home...provided I can manuver between the raindrops, the sky is grey and pregnant.

Twas wonderful talking to people about walking and exercise and tea and stuff.

Sigh. Cranky kid doesn't understand why he can't go play in the courtyard with his friends. Might have something to do with that hacking dry cough perhaps? But no, that's not a good enough reason. :/

Taig: any news?

Liberty's Edge Contributor, RPG Superstar 2012

Good afternoon! I'm finding out that working at 1 place for 12 years made me complacent, because that interview was tough. I managed to work through most of the questions they gave me. It's hard to read the people who did the interview, particularly the guy who's going to make the decision. I certainly did better on this one than on the 90-minute phone screen that I flailed at. Anyway, I'll find out tomorrow.

Lynora, sorry to hear about your son being stubborn, but hooray for double green.

Amby, nice to see you again.

I hope the rest of you are having a good afternoon.


Very good. Just got to get the stiffness out of the joints, I guess.

CH, I'll throw in a +1 to everyone else recommending you get your wisdom teeth taken care of.

Good luck on the interviews.

I caved and bought a Nook last night, so am currently reading about 5 e-books at once. Also ordering puzzles for the store as we convert from baby boutique to toy store. There's one that is a scene from a bordello. My partner marked it to order. I'm not sure that's wise. Guys, what do you think of bordellos?

Will be gone for the rest of the evening. Oldest needs to go to scouts and the youngest has a School function he has to go to.

I'm curious about how you like the Nook. It seemed better than the Sony or the Kindle, but I'd like to hear from folks' experience. I don't get it. Bordello puzzle? Sounds like a different kind of toy store.

Bordello of Blood


Ooo, no thanks. Are they open any other time of the month?


ANYhoo, the Nook is pretty cool. I was looking forward to newspaper or magazine subscriptions, but the papers are $1 per issue and both have very limited selections.

The books work well. I'm starting with their $1 classics and hitting a lot of the must-reads that I haven't seen before. I have not tried uploading a PDF for viewing yet, but it should be doable.
