Today was an odd day.... Ran 10k at 6am Worked out at the gym from 8am-10am (shoulders and an hour on the stationary bike) Rollerbladed 10miles at 1pm Hit the gym again from 5:30pm-7:00pm (legs & chest) There was also yard work & cleaning the pool.... Weird. If I'm bored, I feel like I need to be doing some physical activity. I'm not sure what my mental problem is. Maybe I do it all cause I don't ever want to be fat again. Or maybe I'm trying to make up for my lack of activity in my younger years. Maybe I push myself cause I'm worried what will happen if I break or leg or something where I can't bike, rollerblade or workout. Up until July 1st, I had run 38 days in a row (july 1st was my first break...). I just don't feel right or balanced unless I do at least 2 activities a day. Feels like I'm on a carousel and can't find a way off (not that I even want to get off).

Happy Birthday Robbee!!!!! He's been a GA member for ages. I think he was 14 when he joined. Back then, he was a chat regular and Domaholic

I'm celebrating with Vegetarians . I can't even imagine the things they're going to shape tofu into :wacko:.

Happy 26th Birthday Greg!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! Started off the day with a nice 6mile run with Mina & the boys, a workout at the gym, took the day off from work so took a nice nap and hung out with Mina, did some shopping, prepped for a weekend trip to my folks for a family visit (sister & niece flying in from Chicago), and then some friends are hosting a birthday dinner for me. Off from work, hanging out with the dog, 80 & sunny here in Central CA. Couldn't ask for a better day ...cept for the turning 42 part.... Awww, I haven't had Rainbow hugs & hershey's kisses in ages, thanks Sharon! Take Care, Vic

Happy Birthday to GA's oldest member Old Bob!!!

I've been avoiding this thread until I caught up on the shows...but now that I'm caught up, I can declare myself a Gleek. They have a good mix of music and the characters are all so outrageous. They make fun of just about everyone! Glee does drama similar to the way Ugly Betty did, but Glee has the musical angle. I like how they've rejuvenated some classic 80s songs as well as doing a lot of current stuff. Artie doing "Safety Dance" in the mall and Mercedes & Santana doing 'The boy is Mine" was hilarious!

Happy 24th Birthday Luigi!!!!! I hope you have an awesome day as this is your 5th Birthday on GA! Take Care®, Vic This post has been promoted to an article This post has been promoted to an article

I'm sorry for your loss .

Happy 24th Birthday Eric!!!!! *crosses his fingers for a decent hat this time around*

Happy 20th Birthday NaterTot!!!!!! *sigh* this is probably the last time I can add Tot to your name

Mark, this reminded me of my 'Domluka Literary Society' Skit from back in 2005. You should write something along those lines to share your feelings

haha, nice. Kinda like the guy who said that the only people who went to Nifty were there to molest themselves.

Happy 33rd Birthday Myr!!!! Wow, you're just about a 1/3 of a century old

Congrats Paya!

Happy 47th birthday Graeme!!! Well, we're still celebrating it in the U.S. Another year older. Pretty soon your own boys will be having kids of their own. Soon enough we'll be calling you GraemePa .

Happy Birthday Mark!!!!! Hope you have a great weekend celebration. You're in your late 40s now, so don't do anything crazy

I can't hear the similarities either. I'm so happy you found someone Steve !

***GASP!!!!*** You probably didn't have a hot 'Mickey' in your life that you could mouth the words to... oh Mickey you're so fine

I'm kind of an exercise junkie already, but I shall join thee in your challenge. I won't be giving up soda (cause it's diet), but I'll try eating out less.

Yes. Nightsky seems to understand what pos-ing or neg-ing a post means and what the reputation stands for. People who have strong opinions on a topic (particularly in the soapbox, where many members have strong beliefs) should expect their posts to be rep-ed. If you want to acknowledge a member for being nice, you can vote their 'User Rating' by rating them from 1 to 5 stars. Another option would be to add them as a friend. Take Care®, Vic

Thanks for the heads up about 'Three for Jake'. I just finished reading the prologue, Ch1, & Ch2 and really enjoyed them and will definitely read the short story to get more background. I look forward to future chapters to find out what the memory of the visits by Brett & Corey mean. This is the first CJ story I've read and should probalby now consider reading his others. Thanks, Vic

Getting ready for work this morning, I decided to pack up a couple pills so I could have them when I ate breakfast at work this morning. I had a horse sized glucosamine pill (they're for joint pain relief due to my running), a multivitamin, and then an advil. I started taking the glucosamine because apparently it helps with joint cartilage, the advil because my knees were sore from running earlier in the morning, and the multivitamin just because I'm probably not getting enough from the soda I drink. I stared at the pills all lined up and had to mentally memorize what each of them were for big white one is glucosamine, orange one - vitamin, little round one - advil. I then realized that I was going down the road of aging in america. It was quite disturbing...where big pharma has us taking a multitude of daily pills. The image of my parents 'drug drawer', where they keep their stash for cholesterol, high blood pressure, arthritis, etc, etc, etc. I need one of those old people pill boxes that have a compartment for each day of the week. In other news, I'm psyched for a trail race I'm doing this Saturday. There's 3 or 4 of us who are going to run the 10miler, so it will be fun to be running with guys who run the same speed. The course has a lot of hills, so that will make it extra challenging. Take Care®, Vic
