Amentep Posted November 16, 2021 Posted November 16, 2021 How goes the chucking of chairs? I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

Ariane Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Man, I always love seeing this thread pop up in my email. Nice to know everyone's still kicking (maybe kinda weakly, definitely in my case. I shoulda gone into physiotherapy as a profession, I'm figure I'm close to paying rent for mine on my issues alone...)

Ariane Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Hell, it's never too late right? Gotta escape from government work at some point. I understand normally you do that by becoming a contractor and charging double what you were making in salary, but going back to school sounds more fun tbh
Gfted1 Posted March 10, 2023 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 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
