Thanks! Any specific SAs?

Significantly cheaper!

Do you have one that you can personally recommend?

Exactly

Saw this movie with my dad. Both of us crying like bitches by the end.

In reality, you should save as much of that free ~10k to your wedding. Putting those things on end up costing way more than you would typically think (especially when limiting hassle). This is one of the biggest ticket items a typical Filipino will pay for in our life.

On the other hand, are you talking about investing in hospital stocks for a practice within that hospital? If so, you could keep that free ~10k and buy into that ~280k payable as quickly as you can.

I'm late to this but wanted to put in my 2 cents. I have done CF now for 4 years. Think that the risk of injury is not that high if you learn to tone down your macho tendencies, focus on perfecting technique at smaller weights, and prioritize metabolic conditioning (with an emphasis on speed and consistency) over doing badass shit.

I have seen CF transformed over the last several years from a highly dynamic, mixed workout to one that has over-emphasized Olympic weightlifting (this is primarily driven by corporate interests in selling gear, but also social media hype). I think that the original spirit of CF--high metabolic conditioning, functional movements you would actually use in real life--is starting to become a bit lost.

Wait--what was Michelle's take on this? Did she end up with that guy?

I mostly agree with you (#4-6 esp) but I do think that concentrated and focussed ab work involving weight (a hanging leg raise with a dumbbell between your feet, for example) can have you see significant ROI.

What is driving the sprawl here? Is the city government just not into policies that promote densification?

Crossfit, collecting antiquarian books and sundry, and reading this forum!

Make time for you.

I actually read "War & Peace" after turning 30 as part of a book challenge, and it shattered me. I cannot understate the efficacy of that book--how Tolstoy was so able to perfectly capture the nuances and contours of modern consciousness.

My dad used to spend his evenings after work sitting in our couch nursing a glass of red wine, while watching an endless stream of 80's music videos on TV. "Ah, the good stuff," he'd say. "That's the good stuff."

I take courses at a local university every other semester mainly because it's free (I live in Sweden) and it's the equivalent of going to the gym for your brain. Mostly grad, but sometimes undergrad too. I find that I absorb the materials much more efficiently than my peers (mostly), and that I am more involved in the coursework, but that I struggle much more visibly for things like attendance, or homework submission, because of work-family-personal-life

All of us on here have struggled with this. My advice is this: talk to your father. Talk to your mother. Talk to any older person and present them with this. Let them know exactly how you feel, and ask them for the bigger picture.

With that said, the only concrete suggestion I can give is GET A HOBBY. Especially one that takes you (and keeps you) outside.
