Definitely not an age to take for granted to reach. Sound like an interesting life, good and bad and all “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Raithe Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Managed a little over three hours sleep last night, so facing the morning with a bit of an Ugh. I will say however, that while mini-stollen might not be the most healthy of choices for some form of breakfast/morning nibbles.. the repeated mini-sugar rushes do help you keep going...

Nepenthe Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 the repeated mini-sugar rushes do help you keep going... I used that technique when I was a prosecutor. I gained 15 kilos in 7 months.

So far I have been blessed / cursed with a frame that won't fill out. I've been bouncing between 9.5 and 11 stone (60-70kg) for the last 15 years roundabouts. That includes the 4 or 5 years of weightliftng and planned exercise... Of course, what bugged me with that, was there was a group of us that did it.. everyone else developed bulk and definition... While I lifted the weights.. I just got some tone and no bulk.. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 My kids have been really bad about sleeping the last couple nights and I'm feeling it. My son who is 9 months, went to bed at 7 last night but then woke up at 9, 12, and 4, then he wouldn't go back to bed after 4. My wife suggested drugging him at one point.

Calax Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Watched daily show, saw a segment by John Oliver about finding one of the 14 "missing" democrats from the whole Wisconsin thing. That particular segment feactured Rob Blagoyavic (the disgraced Illinois governor) supporting the senators and the protestors in Wisconsin. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

Walsingham Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Saved a man from being trapped under a train at Paddington station last night. Stupid bastard dropped something under the train about to depart and dived after it like a ferret down a rabbit hole. I had to grab his ankles to stop him sliding in after it. Very impressed with my quickness of thinking. Other bystander stopped to help haul him back up and out. Nearly smashed my laptop as I dropped it in haste. Git didn't even stop to thank me/us properly. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Hurlshort Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Awesome Wals, you deserve a medal I filled up the gas and propane tanks for my RV, we are taking a trip this weekend to Monterey. Gas is dang expensive right now, but we aren't driving far, so it won't be too bad. I'm a bit worried about a consistent dripping I am getting from the outside water nozzle, where you plug the hose in for city water. It isn't a lot of water, but I don't remember it doing that before. Hopefully it is just something that needs to be tightened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Architect Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) I'd like to strap him to a room of highly educated people that can explain this a lot better than me and force him to listen, but I think he's too far gone and there's nothing that can be done about it. ****ing internet, I hate all those ****ing conspiracy sites that encourage these whack jobs. Ah, **** it. You know what, he seems happy living in his fantasy world, and he's not a bad person, so, whatever, some people will never change their beliefs if it fulfils their psychological need for it.

Gorth Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Ah, **** it. You know what, he seems happy living in his fantasy world, and he's not a bad person, so, whatever, some people will never change their beliefs if it fulfils their psychological need for it. Then cure him of his happiness. Keep hitting him with a big stick until he realises that he has a problem. If he asks why you suddenly started whacking him with a big stick, just explain to him that you are exorcising the Happy Demon that has possessed him for his own good. Eventually he'll realise that he needs help “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Guest The Architect Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hahaha, yeah, good thinking 99. I've probably got a bit of a problem myself, to tell you the truth, just because I know better than his bull****, doesn't mean I should want to kill him, but if you were to listen to some of the stuff he's said... you'd know where I'm coming from. It's like a religion to these people. He's actually quite a good writer, he should write a fantasy novel or movie script, make some cash, then he can get the **** out of this house. I think about all the clueless bastards including relatives of mine who come and go, they meet my brother, we all have a normal conversation, and they don't realise what a mad man they're really talking to just because he looks like he could be a model rather than looking like the satirical version of a tin-foil hatter, and never bringing up politics or anything. This stuff is on and off for me, it plays on my mind and I know I've brought this up before, but it really gets on my nerves. But the smart thing to do would be to just Let It Be, right? It's not like nutters can't function in society and live conventional lives either, I'm sure he'll get there eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
