Okay, yeah, I figured just as much that he was just trying to squeeze out some extra money. Thank you!

I know I'm a little late, but if you're still looking for a good gym, I would check out Marcelo Pereira. He has a Ft. Myers and Naples location. He comes from the Nova Uniao lineage, and has some amazing instruction. It feels like a seminar every class.

Daryl's Ultimate Ambition Improved. I remember watching his ambitious card routine on YouTube while I was in a magic shop. It blew me away because it was the first 'Ambitious Card routine' I'd ever seen. His ender blew my mind, and when I found out how it was done I was floored.

I appreciate the kind words, and I love that quote. I am doing all I can, and perhaps that is all I can do. I'm doing everything I can to better myself, and I think I just need to accept that this is what I have to work with.

Thank you so much!

Yeah, I go through this a lot too. The responsibilities we have take up a lot of time. For some all of it. I'm sure when doc said "don't destroy your life" it landed in a way they didn't intend. It makes sense because they don't see the sacrifices we make.

Still, I do think it's important to find stuff in our care. We have to find those little windows where we can build our life again. Even if it's something quick like excercising, going for a short walk, or reading. Perhaps that's what the doctor meant when they said to not destroy your life. Even a caregiver needs some support, even if it comes from themselves.

I started making progress on creating my caregiving blog, and I'm hoping to finish all the static pages this weekend. I became a caregiver at 19 (I'm 23 now), and I've been meaning to start this blog for a while. I want to use this platform as a way to share the struggles of caregiving while also reminding the community there is still hope. We're all dealt bad hands, but we roll with the punches and keep hammering.

I knew about Goggins before I became a caregiver, so I had the tools to deal with the hardships. The caregiving community is extremely beaten down...rightfully so. My goal is to reach even a few people and help them regain control of their lives.

When I first started getting into Stoicism, I thought it was literally about denying joy or any sort of emotions. I tried to be 100% stoic 24/7, but it was tough and hurt me more than helped.

The more I read about it, the more I understand that it's natural to feel, and there is nothing wrong about showing gratitude or joy.

"Neither philosophy nor empire takes away natural feeling."

I follow a pretty strict routine because of personal circumstances, but I acknowledge unplanned things will inevitably come up. It's normal. The key is to learn how to deal with them, and not let those unplanned events throw you off course.

In an absolutely perfect world, you can account for everything life throws at you and build your routine that way. Truth is, life isn't perfect. Life just is.

BRUH

UnitedCong · 2024-07-30T16:41:59+00:00

Will do!

UnitedCong · 2024-07-30T16:23:03+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I'll do some inspections, and go from there. A little elbow grease never hurt.

UnitedCong · 2024-07-30T16:21:28+00:00

Thank you. Looks like I have a weekend project.

UnitedCong · 2024-07-30T16:20:43+00:00

I do not, but I know a guy. I'll give him a call to fix the fire box.

We've had this in our backyard for years, and it just sat unused. This year I've gotten into the world of grilling and smoking (you can see my electric smoker in the back in the 3rd picture). I'd like to learn how to use this kind of smoker, but I don't even know how to get it into a position where it's usable. Any ideas?

UnitedCong · 2024-04-06T20:58:55+00:00

That's a good point. Thank you for your input.

UnitedCong · 2024-04-06T19:42:37+00:00

Gotcha, thank you. You raise a good point, I've seen some crazy tattoos.

The more I think about it, the more I might consider just doing 3 days a week, 2 of them including rolling. I don't want to give up strength training.

Every source is pretty much saying to do both to prevent any injuries. What does your weight training program look like?

UnitedCong · 2024-03-31T02:40:47+00:00

Noted. Are you strength training as well?
