    I was in line behind a little old lady at the exotic pet shop once and she asked the counter guy for a bunny.

    Guy, snottily: "We don't sell pet bunnies, we only sell feeder rabbits for large reptiles. They're not very nice."
    Lady, exasperated: "I KNOW. It's for my 17 foot python."

    My hero.

    An elderly couple inspired the start of my "Weight loss journey"

    When I was laid off three years ago I just kinda sat on my deck sulking and smoking cigarettes the first couple of months.

    I noticed this couple,I would say they are in their 70's,speed walking passed my house everyday.

    Finally something clicked and I said if they can do this everyday,you can at least give it a shot.

    Three months later I was down the first 30 pounds.

    I was out walking earlier this year and we crossed paths.I told them they inspired me.They seemed to really appreciate it!:smile:

    My long term goal is to still be salsaing when I'm 70. Maybe I should raise the bar... :laugh:

    Talk about taking badass to a new level. I'll be happy to be alive by seventy, let alone enjoying life as much as her.

    Well, she was my motivation this morning.
    My alarm went off at 5:30 and I REALLY just wanted to go back to sleep but, then I thought of her so, on went the shoes and shorts for a 30 minute jog.
