Quick Refresher on How to Post Pics/GIFs
For the longest time I didn't know how to post a picture or a GIF. So watching random threads and all the cool cats with their posting command knowledge left me left out of the GIF-fy loop. (lol) But for anyone new who does not know how, here is a little refresher course: In any post you make, type the letters img between…

How to Let Go of Anger
I won't go into details but lately I've been harboring anger and overall negative feelings lately. Writing stuff out helps. I'm just wondering, when you're feeling angry or just in a bad mood, how do you get over it?

Is a band really the same band with a different front man?
So I didn't realize until about 2 months ago that Adam Gontier had left the band Three Days Grace last year, and was replaced by the lead singer from My Darkest Days. Similar front man replacements that I remember -- the band Adema a long time ago, and with the band Drowning Pool due to the original lead vocalist passing…

Modify, Wait, or Work In?
If you have a set workout routine, but go to the gym and find that it's packed and certain machines or squat racks are taken, what do you do? This is my own issue, but I kind of find it hard talking to people so I usually just modify my workout and do a different exercise until whatever I want to use is free. What do you…

Your favorite coffee?
I started drinking coffee in earnest about a year ago. I transitioned into drinking my coffee black (love the taste). It was either Folger's, Columbia, or this one holiday Starbucks blend. I'd like to expand my coffee horizons, and I was wondering what you guys would recommend. What's your favorite coffee? Random…

Portion Size chart
You know, it's always nice to get a reminder of this, since most of the time when it comes to measuring food (which I rarely do...working on it!), I tend to eyeball it more than anything! The picture is from this Buzzfeed article: http://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelysanders/22-simple-ways-to-start-eating-healthier-this-year I…

Your opinions of men and facial hair?
I was watching this hilarious documentary, "Mansome," and was wondering what your thoughts about facial hair were. Do you like a long beard? Clean shaven? Little stubble? Personally I used to hate facial hair on my fiance, but now I love it, and wouldn't have it any other way.

Rotator Cuffs
My cousin told me that rolling your shoulders back (as if to stick your chest out, or to better your posture) is bad for your rotator cuffs. Is that true?| ^rotator cuff noob..:huh:

Why you should never tip
Perusing through my FB feed as per the usual, and came across this article that someone linked. It was pretty interesting to say the least. http://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/why-you-should-stop-tipping-reasons-not-to-tip Care to discuss? Even after reading through the whole thing, I'd feel bad not tipping a waiter after…

How many confirmations is enough for you?
Trying to log food as accurately as possible is sometimes tedious when trying to find the food item that is (or closest to) what you're looking for in the food database. So my question is, how many confirmations, in your opinion, is enough to legitimize a food selection in the database? 3 confirmations? 7? 14? Higher? I'm…

They took my squat rack and gave me a Smith machine!
AUGH! My gym recently moved locations, to a vastly larger building than the one they were previously in. Everything is clean, open, and new, there's a crap ton of treadmills, a circuit training section, a massage room and tanning room. BUT AT WHAT COST. They took away all the strength training equipment: the squat racks,…

Having "Me" Time
I've been doing a lot more of this lately, after having a mini mental breakdown over some things that I realize now are really miniscule in the great scheme of things. Taking some time to personally unwind and recharge my batteries to deal with day to day life, it really helps a lot. I am the type of person who needed to…

Curse You Pantry Moths!!
Augh! I thought I had this little infestation under control when I tossed out all my cereal and pasta boxes infiltrated by those powdery little brown monsters. And what do I find in my freshly cooked white rice? Moth larvae! They've invaded my rice! Woe to the world! This is like the 4th time I've had stupid little pantry…

When do you Shower?
I was reading Dear Abby and the poster wanted to know when the "right" time to shower was. Abby answered that it was pretty much based on one's lifestyle and preference. For me, it's in the morning, because I like being squeaky clean straight from the get go. For my friend, it's at night because she feels she'll make her…

What Animal Do You Even Lift?
I was going through my facebook one day and saw this link. I went to try it, and the results were hilarious. You type in how much weight you can lift, then it'll calculate what animal is the equivalent. Try it out! http://whatanimaldoyoulift.herokuapp.com/

Ladies!
What's your idea of a girl's night out? I'll admit, I don't have many girlfriends, I've always been the one who had mostly guy friends. So I'm a little lost on how to plan a girl's night out with some people I've gotten to know. Uh, do we get facials or something? Go out? Totally out of my natural element, of just playing…

Cutting down on your friends list
I'm curious, if you're in the habit of thinning your FL every now and then, do you have any particular quota that must be met for them to stay on? Like for instance, there's someone in my friends list who hasn't logged on in a couple months. But I remember there was a time when I went away for a couple months and came…

Are You Kidding Me?
So I go to the gym in the morning in order to avoid wait times for either the machines, the squat rack, or certain sets of dumbbells (small gym). A major turn off was the lack of gym etiquette from gym goers in the afternoon, especially in re-racking weights. So I'm on one one of the only two squat racks doing my thing,…

Tipping Etiquette
Just curious, when you order food to go from a restaurant, do you still tip when picking up the food? If so, is it reasonable to leave a smaller tip since you didn't actually dine there? What is standard tipping in your opinion, for good, bad, and poor quality when actually dining out? I hear horror stories from both sides…

Recommendations for some good UK tv shows
Hi! I was wondering if someone could recommend some quirky, tongue-in-cheek type tv shows from the UK. Not too long ago I watched Being Human, and I loved it. At the moment I discovered a show called Secret Diary of a Call Girl, which is hilarious and also rather interesting. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Is there any merit to this?
So when I go to the gym I see these two guys on the bench press. They put on two big weights, then about 5 or 6 small weights. One of them benches maybe 4 times, then the other guy takes off 2 weights, bencher benches like 3 or 4 times, other guy takes off 2 more weights, etc. I've seen guys do this other than those two.…

Signs You're A Gym Butt-Face/Crossfit Hate?
This post is kind of a double whammy. And A little long. Part 1: A friend of mine goes to the gym all the time and every now and then he'll post videos or pics (gym-related) on Facebook. The other day he posted a video about common pet peeves gym goers have. I agree with most of them. 1. Noisy Bros - you know these guys,…

"Don't choose a fat or out of shape personal trainer"
So a friend of mine was asking some friends of hers advice on what kind of a personal trainer to get at the gym. It's not the one I go to, ergo no advice on my part. They were discussing and such when one of them says, "yeah, but definitely don't trust a chubby trainer." The other girls agreed with her, and someone else…
