Fast Food Ads Are Responsible For Your Fat Kids

My cologne drives women crazy. It smells like credit cards.

So you are surrounded by crazy women?

[Hoss]

44 is not old age.  Been there, a while ago.

Evidently it's not bad enough to treat yet.  I had signs of hypothyroidism for several years.  Last summer my doctor put me on medicine to prevent other problems that can be caused by hypothyroidism.  My only complaint had been being tired a lot.  No excuse, go burn those calories.  There has to be something compatible with your bad knee.  Good luck!

Photowalking!  Did that Saturday and spent a while in the sun (forehead sunburnt because of it, no hat at the time).  I was tired..more from the heat than anything else.

Plus I make a habit of walking the stairs everyday at work.  Just one flight, but I probably walk them now three or four times daily.

My problem as well (being tired) but it's usually after I wake up and if I get out and do something right off that usually goes away within 30 minutes or so.  Doctor explained it to me as some sort of hormone that gets generated when you get active.  Plus I've had horrible headaches this spring waking up in the mornings, that the doc has attributed to my sinuses and allergies.  Worst I've had in years.

Yes. I am surounded by crazy women. It is both a blessing and a curse.

The recent heat is enough to beat anyone down.  It's probably a good thing and helps prevent heat exhaustion.  Use sunblock. One of my friends hates the stuff and has had several face and hand chemical skin peels because of it.  Believe me, you don't want to do that.

Good for you for doing what you can.  I generally walk about 2 miles during my weekday lunch breaks.  I don't go if it's raining or way too cold and windy or hot and humid.  I'll go for my walk if the temp is below about 90 and the dewpoint is less than 70.  I'll accept up to 72 dewpoint if the temperature is lower or a bit higher temp if the dewpoint is down in the low 60s.

Did you watch Monk on TV too?

Moonie, if I die as a result of a nuclear power plants toxins getting into my system, is it my fault because I lived downwind?

Yes, you are acutely aware of the real and imagined dangers of a nuclear power plant and should live nowhere near where you could possibly be harmed.  Do your homework.

Moonie, I feel bad for your children. How many do you have? Did you raise them by yourself?

Of course I do. Well educated, successful and contributing factors to our society. Now, if you would have been mine there would have been a bathtub accident. People like you can only insult and attack people and their family's... For the third time ( lets make it 4 ! ) you have issues.

Good thing about where I work is that I still have to get up frequently enough to walk far away enough that I know I'm walking at least 1.5 miles a day (I used to have a phone with a pedometer in it that told me what I was averaging during the week).  We have sections of the building I have to go to on the complete other side of the complex.  I wish I could bike again; but my right knee allows me about 1 full mile before I start feeling it.  I can walk probably 5 miles, but I've been rather fortunate.  For as big a guy as I am, my legs are still quite strong.

I usually try and get my walking away from work in towards sunset.  Plus, if I'm traveling with Mom (took her to Garden Ridge on Sunday) then I'm also pushing her wheelchair.  Garden Ridge is huge.  We were up there for about an hour, and hauling the chair out of the trunk, wheeling her around, then hauling it back in was another workout.  It sounds trivial, but that chair weighs about 60 pounds.

When I worked at the Cherokee Industrial Park, the facility was big enough that the standing joke was that getting coffee or going to the rest room was part of the company physical fitness program.

I asked. I didn't attack. You seem to take things personally if you were insulted by my questions. Don't assume what's not there. People who bully and threaten have bigger issues than mine...

Let me put that quote out there just one more time..... Where in the " I feel bad for your children" was a question??

You are a complete attacker and name caller. When someone calls you out all you have is that, name calling. Did I take it personal when you involved my kids? Hell yes I did. Your a joke that used to be funny.

[Teatownclown]

fat people should just called their big mac "medicine" and everything would be cool ...relax,Moonie.

Bike fit can make a huge difference.  I can go from having a string of horrible rides due to lower back pain which gets into my sciatic nerve to sudden improvement with a 1/4" adjustment to the seat post, moving the seat fore or aft, or even changing the seat angle.  Same goes for the knees, most likely a seat height adjustment might do wonders for your knee.  Of course, if you've got a lot of soft tissue tears or spurs floating around in there, no amount adjustment would help.

Old soccer injury from high school.  I had surgery on it in Texas after I got married (minimally invasive arthro) and it felt better for a time, but as I got older I started feeling it again.  I may try and take up rollerblading again (a friend and I every Friday did it up and down Riverside back in the mid nineties) since that is not as high a knee impact.  It still strains it, but your ankles bear the brunt of rollerblading...

Or people could actually take repsonsibilites for their own choices.
