This was almost twenty years ago and the kids white count was in the toilet. There was no other evidence of disease at he time except for severe malnourishment. His mom apparently bought him hot dogs by the case and he ate little to nothing else. Maybe they eventually found he had leukemia. I have no…Read more

He was late teens/early twenties. Not necessarily retarded, but serious country redneck of dubious intelligence. Anyway, he was in complete immune system failure from all the preservatives and malnutrition.

I don’t know what you define as second wave feminism, but I will say this, original feminism was never meant to grant women the “right to have it all”.

Having adequate nutrients is also important, but getting people to just NOT EAT is extremely difficult. One of the things I used to run into with clients was this constant need to know what they could eat and when. Most of them could have gone several days without food with no ill effects,…Read more

Back to lots of dog walking. I put a yoga strap in a drawer in my family room so I have no excuse not to spend a few minutes stretching a couple of times a day. Exept maybe for the fact that me being on the floor signals to my dog that it is wrestlemania time.

I’ve got a pretty established base of strength, but could definitely improve my flexibility/conditioning.

My sister was an asshole for no reason as usual. She has this pattern of feeling slighted (because she didnt get her way) and then being grumpy and nasty towards me.

Went riding yesterday and woke up super early this morning for a crazy dog walk. (Dog is crazy, not the walk.)

Its all about the volume. 6-8 exerises per workout, 4 sets of 10-15 reps, 3-4 days a week.

Still at that stage where being on the board makes my ribs tender the next day. I am a bit delicate apparently. Just paddled laterally up and down the coast today for about thirty minutes with breaks. I am getting better at being stable on my board, but its a learning curve for sure. 🙂 (I am using my son’s old wavestorm.)
