Ariane Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Hell, it's never too late right? Gotta escape from government work at some point.

Gfted1 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I should get one of those abdominal shockers and see if I can zap my way to a 6-pack. I dont have much bodyfat there so maybe electrocuting my way to more muscle mass would yield results. Maybe another one for whatever that muscle group is that gives you the pelvic "V" too.

Ariane Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 You know, I gotta admit I'm also on the side of "the kids are all right." Not uni age, but I've been taking an ASL course through the local school board, and aside from me and one other older person, it's all teenagers/high schoolers. They're all really thoughtful and sweet. And make me remember how much I don't miss being that age-- being so self conscious and young, oof! There's probably a degree of self-selection because I don't think too many kids choose to take a 3 hour class on Saturday morning, but they do make me feel a little more optimistic about life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
