@flannel-slut thanks for the tip! I have some recovery slides from Crocs that do pretty well.

I almost thought this was going to be fun to attend, but it appears to be a denim rhinestone event.

Dude you should go bedazzle some IH with the ol' gals

[WhiskeySandwich]

[WhiskeySandwich]

When you’re driving through Cheltenham town centre and see @EdH walking the dog, but the traffic is too heavy to stop and say hello!
Nice cuffs today!

but my lower back has geriatric levels of dexterity

@T4920 said in Random Rants:

I should really take up yoga

Try weighted squats and deadlifts. Strengthening your lower back - provided you do it safely and sustainably, see a strength PT if necessary - is a great preventative. I read a study somewhere about strength athletes having lower levels of back injury than the general population, which sounds counterintuitive until you realise that most of what these guys do all day is strengthen their lower backs.

@EdH Can’t upvote this enough…I’ve lifted weights pretty steady since my mid teen’s and for the most part have been relatively injury free.

[T4920]

@EdH appreciate the advice, I know I need to incorporate strength training into my life. Have done so in the past and felt great for it, but never managed to sustain the momentum...

You mean to say that a mod can't find a way of artificially inflating my rep...?

[TinMan]

Can someone help me with second to last precaution.

[EdH]

@TinMan If it's something you'd usually use your hand to do, don't do it with the cord instead...?

[popvulture]

sounds kinda x-rated

[TinMan]

Thought the wording was hilarious, I am thinking it messed up in some translation software.

@T4920 Next time you’re having difficulty maintaining the momentum, think about this…You can have results or excuses,but not both. I always tell people that the hardest part is just walking in the door.

@Matt said in Random Rants:

Yeah. That’ll be nice.
Ya gotta have goals

[goosehd]

Well, my plans for the day are shot…buses canceled due to inclement weather and kids home for the day.

[Giles]

Buses cancelled I can deal with, unexpected kids, not so much.....
