In 1965 on Christmas day while I was in USMC bootcamp we repeatedly made our beds until everyone (all 60 Marines) were able to bounce a quarter off their bed that would reach a height of 1 foot. That was 60 bouncing quarters. If there was just one Marine that didn't make this happen. Everyone had to tear down their beds and start over. This was Christmas day. You thought maybe we'll get a break today. No chance of that happening. Swal
 
Welp, just got off the internet call for the podcast. Had fun. An hour and a half talking gaming. While this Pod is specific to the Kings of War game, I've got deep experience with other game systems, so we did a lot of comparisons.

It'll be a few weeks before they get it edited and up.

Ah those were the days.

Our first minutes of boot camp we had to run our gear up 2 flights of steps and put it away. Of course it wasn't sat enough so it all got packed up and hiked downstairs to formation for another attempt. Don't remember how many times we did that , but it was a bunch!

Kusojiji they say that's the worst thing use can do, eat continuously. Doesn't give your organs a break. Always processing food. If you really what to be healthy you eat in an 8-hour period. 10am to 6pm, 9am to 5pm, 12pm to 8pm, no snacking. You will not lose muscle if you keep on exercising. Go for a 15-minute walk right after eating. It helps with insulin resistance. Swal

My habits developed over years of lifting and running. I used to eat 6 small meals a day. Habits are hard to break, especially since I have gone from that extreme to the current couch potato mode. While I am also not eating as much, I definitely do need to start walking. Thanks!

I'm still laughing at how much of "Kid" Rock's song they had to "condense" at the other show... seems he has problems with hookers, strippers, and minors in his lyrics.

There are those of us who like to pretend these things don't exist. I for one can tell you firsthand, they do! He is keeping it real,

"For the questions that don't have any answers"

Hookers and strippers are no different from any other group of people; there’s good, bad, and everything in between. In life circumstances often shape the paths people take. Not everyone is born into a home with privilege, opportunity, or even safety. I’ve been in Fortune 500 boardrooms and the back alleys of Baltimore, and many places in between, and people are just people.

"Now get in the pit and love someone!"
One of the few songs of his that I can relate to and like!

"All Summer Long"...

That sucks!
 
Here is one that will make you think
“I’m not myself, but I’m not dead and I’m not for sale.”

This song is saying:
  • I’m struggling.
  • I’m not who I want to be.
  • But I’m still here, and I’m not giving up.
The emotion behind it is something anyone can relate to:
  • feeling out of control
  • trying to get your life back on track
  • wanting to be better
  • knowing you’re not perfect
  • refusing to give up

God Bless us Everyone!

Have a great day! ;)
 


I ordered a couple of items from a place called the toy supply pro. When I placed the order, I received a confirmation email from what I thought was a provider or handler and then a payment confirmation from paypal from another place called NURHUDA. So 3 different entities involved with this one order. So, I looked up thetoysupplypro and what I found was not good. They rate high for a scam site.

So I gave it a couple of days and sent them an email. No response. Sent another to the provider and the email on the website, no response. Sent another to both, no response. Last email I said that the next would go to the FBI.

So, I went to the FTC fraud site and gave them everything I had. I hope they can find these a-holes and shut them down. Also, another issue with paypal is that I can't contact them and complain about the charge since they no longer monitor the email address that they sent the charge on. I need an account, which I can't get. So, steering clear of them as well. Hell, I may complain to the FTC about them.
 
Good morning gang!

35° and still dark outside, the daytime high under cloudy skies should be about 40°. Hopefully a good bit of our snow cover will melt away.
Yesterday was follow up day at the ticker doctor. Everything looks hunky-dory and Rosie there. Later in the day, I went to my primary care doctor about this pain in my hip. Gave me a script for muscle, relaxers and steroids and in order for an x-ray later today. Like my dad used to say don’t get old boy it ain’t for sissies.
And remember, have a happy hump day!

Good morning all!

happy hump day!

Should be another nice day in store. Currently 25F heading up to a high of around 46F under mostly sunny skies. Yesterday we actually
broke 50F. Next 10 days look good if it holds out. A few mid 60s.

Basketball season ended last night. So glad since my time will free up a great deal now. More train time!

Not sure what the day will bring, way too soon to tell.

have a safe day everyone!
 
Morning all,

30° and clear with a high later of 56°.

I gotta take the local granddaughter to saxophone lesson after work and then her grandmother promised I'd take her out for dinner afterward.

She wants Burger King. I have 100,000 reasons I don't go there, but the only 1 that makes me ignore those reasons is because one of the grandkids wants to go there. Oh well, I need a good cleanse...

Good afternoon all. Just a quick visit and update

We have left Rotterdam and heading Stateside (eventually). Soon we arrive in Antwerp; an attractive city to visit. Not this time though. Our time here is only three hours. Memories of our last visit to Antwerp are still fresh in our minds.
 


I've been dropping forums as well. Both of them thought it was nice for them to rewrite my posts. I prefer they just delete them like here. Rewriting a post to their preference is very disrespectful.

I believe my use of OMG was hurtful to somebody. I don't know as it wasn't explained to me. Or it may have been the use of the word "the"...
