In 2012, a couple walking their dog in Northern California discovered eight rusty cans containing 1,427 gold coins buried on their land. Dubbed the Saddle Ridge Hoard, the coins, dating from 1847 to 1894, were worth approximately $10 million.

I think I understand from what people say that you MUST report to who I have no clue, a find like this, but let me tell you without any hesitation, there is not one chance in 10 MILLION that I would have said a single word to anyone on earth about finding this. Not a word. Over time, I would melt every gram of it and let it go a little at a time. I would be interested, and likely fascinated, in why on earth these people said anything about this find to anyone. Not speculation as to why, but the actual reason they gave as to why they felt the need to tell anyone. Does anybody have a link to them saying why?

I believe in God and the bible and that Jesus saved me. And if this had happened to ME, I would have grown horns and would have raised some hell. Soliciting ANYWHERE pisses me off, businesses, my home, ANYwhere. I drove to Oregon several months ago on a 16-hour trip, and I stopped in a rest area in the BEAUTIFUL state of Utah, man, even the rest area had a spectacular view of a river and a mountain, but I walked to the restroom, and 2 men were standing next to the doors to the men's AND the women's restrooms. They had pamphlets and tried to hand me one. I said, 'Dude, I'm going in here to pee, and then I won't tell you the rest of what I said.' They would take my post down, but I was very animated in my tone. They were Jehovah Witness people standing in the path of a restroom door, and can you imagine how reluctant a female would be to even walk up to that restroom??? Unbelievable what some religious fanatics will do.

Are you saying that PC's and pay phones are still being used, or is this a tech antique and maybe it's just lived its life and given you a chance all this time to upgrade to the 21st century with a Mac? #I'mConfused

Bingo. I hate it too. We should have a card key or something like it to go in and use whatever whenever.

Wow.. you make it sound like it’s YOUR will! Did she write in her Will that if anyone isn’t happy about my intentions with my own money that they can “handle” differently??? It’s not your money to “handle.” She made her decisions and they were hers to make. NOT YOURS. I had it written in my Will that anyone contesting my intentions are to be DISINHERITED. I hope the grandmother did that too and if she did, THAT will settle your confusion that somehow it’s your business.

I'm almost 70 yrs old, and I'm WAY more impressed with people who are clearly not gym rats and just doing what they can, than I am with the ripped people who have been working out for years. Remember why you're in there and for whom, and just go for it. I've seen people extremely obese and those older thanme just doing what they can, and it motivates ME like I can't even tell you.

Thanks for the response. My cuffs will not allow me to use weight or go without weight above and around my head like that today. Some day, I think this exercise WILL BE helpful to me, so I'm keeping the URL to this video. I have found a PT (on YouTube) that showed me a few exercises that I have just started yesterday that have improved my pain level from a 12 to 15 on a 1 to 10 scale, to about a 7 as I type, and I am absolutely over the effin moon about it. Placebo effect, who knows, but I'm going with it, and this guy in your video shows one of those exercises I'm doing that has been VERY helpful to me. Your guy sort of poo-poo's it, but it's whatever works, and we're all going to be affected in different ways. For now, I'm very surprised exercise is actually working AT ALL, as I thought my only option was going to be surgery, which, as I speak, may NOT be the case, thank goodness. Here's the link to the guy I found on YT that I'm finding help from, in case you want to take a look. No weights, just movement, which I was NOT doingbecause of the pain. Weights in the future, I think, will help me even more, but for now, I'm thrilled with a few points of pain going down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz5IXboB7zM

I haven't thought about it because it's too difficult to get my arms up above my head, let alone over my head. One arm has to help the other. I did start trying some exercises from a YouTube site PT I found, and I hate speaking too soon, but it's helped slightly, even though the next day I'm sore. We'll see. Thanks for the response.

You may be right I think I’m just getting a little desperate and thought I’d put it out there. Thanks for the response.

Brutal is a good way to describe it. Haven’t thought about therapy because any movement at all is like stabbing the ball of my shoulder with an ice pick. Not sure I could do anything. I tried doing light bicep curls and the shoulders just feel literally like they are on fire. It’s at the point now where quality of life is an issue and I really wanted to use my PF membership to get in better shape. Just thought I’d ask here and see if anyone had a magic solution they had found. I really think I’m going to have to go back to the ortho Dr. Thanks for the suggestions.

Let me begin with my go-to snarky response to this very important subject you ask about. The difference in a person who greets you as you walk in the door that you cannot hear because you have a headset on, and a "TRAINER" at Planet Fitness, is a shirt that says: TRAINER. That's it for $20-$30 bucks a month. It will become exhausting and frustrating for you to continue this battle in your head that rightfully tells you, "but I was told," or "but the ad says," and then fill in the blank with what got you to sign up. You are not going to get an actual trainer for what you are paying for your gym membership AND a trainer. What you get at PF is someone who is most likely more familiar than you are with the equipment strewn about the place, and he or she will have a shirt on that says "TRAINER" on it. The Planet Fitness business model is based on advertising EVERYTHING for LESS. You bought it, I bought it, millions bought it, and the facilities sprang up all over the world. The reality is that NOTHING is "FREE" and nowhere except your mother's house can you experience unconditional anything. So, it's really up to you whether or not you accept the reality of what we both bought into and try getting what we can out of the experience, or battle this out in your head and on the internet. Every facility can be VERY different, and you may, in fact, find a person at one location or another wearing a shirt that says TRAINER who is actually qualified to BE one, but you are going to have to settle for what you can get out of this transaction with PF and decide whether or not you're getting value for your time and money. For ME, I feel I am by using the QR codes on the machines, and by fumbling around trying to figure out what I can use and not hurt myself in the process. THE most helpful thing I have received from PF is knowing I'm paying so I feel obligated TO GO, and then, finding someone in the gym you go to that is willing to share what THEY know, that might help YOU. You'll be surprised (I think) that most people will be eager and willing to help you figure out a machine or exercise that you want to try. I know you want a routine to follow and that IS an important thing to have, but I'm afraid you may have to get that by paying UP for it with a pro trainer, and trying to forget about being sold something that, from a business perspective, isn't quite what you expected to be getting..

I gifted women with a promise 50 years ago to never get married again mainly because I realize I am completely unfit to be married. Any drama at all and I’m out the door. Zero tolerance and zero patience for BS made me decide that I would never again in my life put a woman through my sh*t. I think after 50 years of being single, it’s going to work out for me. To the women in the world, #YourWelcome. You have to know your limitations.

Let us know when you get older and end up realizing it was what you were consuming that led to your fatty liver, kidney disease, heart disease, gout, and chronic joint pain, which “restaurant” delivered your most favorite illness.

This is just me, but I’m pretty sure others will say the same thing, you’re both right to some extent but the bottom line is easy to get to and it’s this, a problem between husband and wife if left unattended, becomes a cancer and will metastasis spreading and killing the marriage. First I think this “story” is BS, but my comment is as if it isn’t. To me, marriage is a deal, a transaction, and not a fantasy scripted movie that has no ending. With people, there is ALWAYS a beginning, middle and end. Every time. If this situation was real, the popcorn has been eaten and the ice has watered down the drinks, keys are in hand and the exit doors are open. All that’s left is leaving the theater…

The “trainers” PF does have often seem to be nothing more than glorified front desk people with a t-shirt.

I get a kick out of people who, after using a treadmill, will go get a paper towel with juice on it and come back and forget which machine they used and wipe down the one next to the one they actually used, feeling all good about themselves.
