I just wanted to say I have seen some of you try to be very helpful to people who seem to be in need and some offer very good well thought out advice. Be proud of your contributions to those truly in need who can use your advice and better their lives. While we are all faces (some real some not) and words on a screen I do see a real intent to help others from many of you. Thank you for who you are.

    I may be in jail but I have plenty of advice to give.

    How'd you end up in jail? This was recent.

    He heard they restocked on soap and it was a voluntary thing.

    If you are that hellbent, I did two things and it added points:

    1. As though there is too less rate the person above threads, a person opened a thread to rate the person above. I asked if the OP logged the exercises for the day... and used the app for fitness. She wasn't happy about that.
    2. I just made a joke about the stereotypes of my culture, given that I am Indian. As long as I know, when I make Indian jokes, they are well received, because it's comedy. Somebody thought I looked Norwegian and flagged me for attacking people of a certain race.

    Not a big deal. I log my exercises from time to time and I have made some really good friends here on a personal level. That is enough for me.

    Ha you're not fooling anyone :)

    I'm actually quite disappointed at the number of threads on here which have absolutely nothing to do with health and fitness.

    Oh, I get it! Dropping soap in a communal unisex shower is an expression of coded intention. I totally had to look that up and now I'm somewhat horrified. Because that GIF was funny but in a darker way than I originally imagined.

    "horrified"..."dark"....I think you might be overthinking the soap thing just a tad...or else just strangely prude

    .....Also, nobody got my movie reference :cry:

    Yeah, I just thought you were stealing the gif for when you wanted to GIF it up here at MFP. Or else just strangely crude. :wink:

    Well I am that too :joy:

    I guess we just run out of fitness topics after a bunch of years on here. But, it helps to click on the specific forum category you are looking for. The recent posts gets over run by person above you threads (kind of wish those didn't exist).

    Check out the other forums. If you just stay in Chit-Chat, you're missing out on a lot.

    I've seen some act the fool in the same people offer great advice in threads. Let's admit some of the threads s are funny. Some of the threads are serious and some of them are troll attempts at times. In the end I've seen some solid advice and thought acknowledgment might be appreciated.
