Thank you Zen, and everyone who has complimented me. I guess what I wrote struck a chord with many people. Hopefully it has helped. You are right Zen, nobody likes to feel crowded. Crowded = scary. Chasing a fish with a worm never works. Nothing creates attraction like a little distance. It allows both sides to feel like…

One more bit of advice. There is no industry standard for the shape of kettlebells. The kettlebell federation might have something, but basically, you need to be a little careful. One thing to look for is a big enough handle section for a comfortable 2 handed grip. Some of them seem to have smallish handles, especially in…

Kettlebells are an awesome workout. There are traditional routines, and there is kettlebell juggling. Gogglle is fulll of info on both. I love juggling. I have 2 ten pound kettles for that as well as 26 pounder. It is a very intense workout, be warned. The first thing to master is the basic swing. Then you add to that.…

OP, here's an idea. It says in your profile that you are a sax player! How damn cool is that?? Try channeling your emotion through your sax and some woman out there in the audience will pass out! Give HER your phone number. One more thing. Your willingness to be honest with yourself is admirable. It shows a ton of…

This thread IS about generalizations. I stick by what I said.

It's just a reflection of society. It's fashionable to bash men. It's sexist to bash women. Women have gained a lot of well deserved ground in the last few decades, but they have proven to be less than perfect with their new found power. Ironically, abuse of power was always their complaint about men. Women say some pretty…

I've known women worth crying over.

OK Dude, here's a beer >>>>> "BEER". Let's talk. First of all, ask yourself this. Were the things you were doing REALLY for her benefit, or were they really so that you could get closer to her somehow?? Think hard and be honest! I'm betting that some bit of this was a play to keep her corraled and away from other guys. Any…

What kind of workouts do you do? Long cardio workouts tend to make me hungry, but lifting weights does not have that effect. That's why I limit my cardio when I'm trying to lose weight. It makes the eating end of it much easier. There are lots of reasons why weight training is beneficial for weight loss.

Just my opinion,,,,,,,,,The bond that binds people is intimacy. That is 90% mental and 10% physical. The idea that you haven't crossed a line if you haven't touched is meaningless to me. You have cheated when have you have violated the intimacy with your partner. It's important to be with people who share your definition…

agreed, mix it up, but like you I love kettle bells! I have 2 that I juggle and heavier bells for certain routines. Lots of fun and very intense!

This is not normal constipation. It is being caused by the pain killers you are taking. Your doctor should have warned you and given you some ways to manage this. I would be afraid at this point that you might actually have an obstruction. I had this happen after taking pain meds for a kidney stone. My doc gave me a bottle…

Too many restrictions on what you will and won't do, can and can't eat. I say screw it and just have coffee as someone above suggested. The caffeine will supress your appetite and get you through to maybe an early lunch.

If I tried to write one description of the perfect woman, I would inevitably end up excluding some of the sexiest women I know.

Agreed! ^^^ Any post "agreed" with quadruples in status and presents a bullwork against opposition. :wink: What I've read of this thread would be hilarious,....if it weren't so tragically true!

Traveling. I'm like a tire. When I quit rolling I topple.

I'm a guy, so I shouldn't even be here. I have known a few women though, and getting a bra that fits seems to be damn near impossible. I could write a book on the subject, just from all the complaints I've had to listen to :happy: . So basically, no, I don't think you are alone. :smokin:

I grew up before helmets and survived fine, but I do wear them now. A guy tried to make a move to pass me once 30 miles into a race, on a hill, and blacked out trying. He toppled over the front of his bike and landed on his head. It split the helmet clean in two pieces. It was one of those styro-fabric things. Aside from…

The problem of out of control children has become so pervasive that you can't bring it up without being attacked. Parents won't accept responsibility for the problems they have created. When I got married it was on a boat, and I took the unprecedented step of asking my guests to leave their kids somewhere else. I hated…

I do this too^^ Sometimes I throw in an extra chip and pretend I miscounted That's how crazy it makes you

Actually, I know of several women who avoid weights for exactly this reason. There's another issue too. Just because some dude walks up to give you advice doesn't mean he has a clue what he's talking about. Most of the time it's a measure of ego more than anything, and these guys have zero real training.

When I'm at the gym I leave people alone, and I would rather be left alone as well. If anyone wants help they can always ask. Luckily at the gym I use there is none of that. My experience with weights goes back decades, and I have specifc things that I do for specifc reasons. Some are to strengthen old injuries and some…

I gift the people around me all year round. I do it when the fancy strikes me, when I feel they need it, and sometimes for no particular reason at all. The one reason I never gift is because the calendar says I have to. Holidays for me are for connecting with people, sharing laughter, warmth, caring, good food, good drink,…

Cut the fruit into wedges, and then slice the fruit out of the skin with a sharp paring knife. Cut into bite sized pieces into a bowl. Add a couple of spoons of nonfat greek yogurt (with vanilla). Stir to coat the grapefruit. Sprinkle on some cinnnamon and top with chopped walnuts. :wink:

People aren't looking AT you, they are looking THROUGH you. You are invisible.

Sooner or later someone will post this. Might as well get it over with :bigsmile: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/nprs-delicious-dish-schweddy-balls/2846/

I'm going to a Solstice party :drinker: The play list is fifties theme music. Disturbing beyond words :indifferent:

I've read The Power of Now. It's a good read, but was not a life changer for me. I've read countless books on philosophy and religion. I've taken something from each. If a book contains just one piece of the puzzle, for me it's worth reading. I would recommend reading Tolle slowly with time between reads to internalize…

Nope. You plan for life right up to the day it ends.

The problem with therapists is that kids will not respond to anyone they don't trust. A kid that is injured is not likely to trust anyone aside from his parents. A better approach might be getting help yourself and learning how to help your child. It's also important to remember that kids don't intellectualize things in…
