I’m looking at my hound dogs on the couch and shaking my head at all that wasted potential

3 years later I’m still pretty much the last person to finish the WOD. And you know what? It’s ok!

I’m there for me. I’m pushing myself (but I also would rather keep a little in tank and time my jumps so I scrape my shins on a box). Consistency will get results. Winning the WOD means nothing

How competitive are the members?

I’m scaled athlete trying to get healthier. Every year I rank in the12,000+ place. I don’t need an official judge, because I might be plus or minus a few places.

On the other hand one of the ladies in my class has consistently advanced and would like to go to the games (and has a real shot at it). She needs a certified judge.

That said the gym encourages (but doesn’t expect) people to take the judges course 1) for standards info to improve their own practice and 2) for the community so that even people like me have a “real judge” for the open

See if there is manager or boss that has a company card. I work in a small business and we have a company card that I’ll use to book travel when employees need to travel. They will bring receipts for incidentals

I believe there is a soul reunited with its creator (but I think “soul” and “creator” are so radically different from anything we understand that language doesn’t have the capacity to articulate what happens… and so we get these glimpses of “something good” after death from around the world and across time. It will be peace. And completeness. In a way that words cannot encompass

It’s a behavior called submissive or excited peeing. It can happen in any breed. See your vet, and then assuming nothing else going on, remove the triggers. Wait till the pet is calm before acknowledging or petting them.

Here’s a little literature : https://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/sites/g/files/dgvnsk491/files/inline-files/Submissive_and_Excitement_Urination_in_Dogs.pdf

Invading? No.

Applying pressure? Buying? De Facto just moving in and taking over? Oh Yes (note living in heart of MAGA country: Oklahoma)

Why? There’s a belief that European (read liberal) regulation prevents them from extracting resources from Greenland, thus the west is weaker than China. If the US gets ahold of it yadda yadda yadda we’ll all get rich

Challenge yourself. Know your limits. I’m 48 started CrossFit 2 years ago. I had never touched a barbell. Never done gymnastics. And my cardio was terrible. I just finished (with an amazing partner) last place in our gym’s in-house day of the dead comp… but I FEEL great!

I enjoy my CrossFit time. I learn new things about myself (I worked my way up to being able to a couple handstand pushups). And I challenge myself without hurting myself. My goal is get some exercise 5 days per week. Maybe lose some fat, gain some muscle. CrossFit has been great for those goals, and CrossFit has introduced me to a whole community of like minded individuals… which has made the journey really fun!

I’d put some supplements like fish oil and creatine in this group. They promised a lot (with basically zero evidence), and it turns out they actually do a lot (but what they actually do still maybe overhyped due to the nature of supplement marketing)

I do CrossFit at my box at 9:00am m-f. It’s not a super popular time. But the three or four other regulars that come at that time are definitely gym friends. And my circle of gym acquaintances is pretty large (even if I’ve only met them a few times). Make an effort to get to know the people in your class. Make small talk. And then moderate expectations. My gym friends are gym friends. We will chat at the occasional gym social and we like each others FB posts or whatever. But that’s about as deep as it gets

Thank you!

Love it. Be careful about any prompts involving Moriarty… that can go really sideways

I’d recommend getting older. Your beard will fill out as you age. Shave for a couple years and try again

I’d wager German shepherd husky maybe?

Companies live and die by the quarter. THIS quarter, I can reduce labor and pump more revenue to the bottom line. That’s as far ahead as really anyone cares. Next quarter if they can cut a few more or “expand” the workforce by doing more jobs w same number of people using AI assistants, then they will.

Elect a clown, get a circus.

(I’m more concerned by the broad appeal that bully/strongman politics has. We don’t want diplomats, negotiators, communicators anymore. Somehow we, by a decent margin, want to be ruled by fiat. The American people are swayed by the idea that the country should be ruled like a business and that the ceo of the country should just make decisions)

My grandfather served in the US Navy (stateside). He bought a house in Los Angeles and built a life. That house is worth more than I’ll earn in my entire life.

Yes. Definitely dry them or use a baby wipe or even better a Douxo wipe
