my self-pleasure for tonight...

[Anschul]

Hommie, I second that completely. I'm in my sixties, and I've been lifting for forty-five years. Did some powerlifting when I was younger, now I do medium weights and high reps, more cardio than strength, but I keep my muscles strong. Every thing you recommend is spot-on. I do 6x15 100-pound box squats every other day. It's part of my cardio workout, and have never had knee problems. Ever. Also, amen on the supplements. Glucosamine, chontroitin and fish oil keeps me young. I also ride a bike 90 miles a week. (usually 3x30 on a flat course). But I don't run. Won't. Ever. Running will kill knees faster than any other exercise (fast walking is better, but still very hard on the knees. Ride a bike).
And, my 44-year-old wife appreciates my level of fitness, even if I am 25 pounds over weight. (Those doctor charty things don't account for muscle mass.) Also, BP is 102/62 last week.
I'm sixty-one with a seven-year-old daughter. I've got to live to 100. I made a promise.

Yup yup. Gotta stay alive for you kids, man. And it sounds like you've got the right thing going. The sort of squats you're talking about will still help maintain functional mass, so they're great, especially with that frequency. I need to get on my bike more often. My cardio has been the suck lately.

Quick notes on the glucosamine and other connective tissue builders. I am a sorry case of mixed connective tissue disease, a genetic condition, so no worries, t'aint catchy... I have fibrillin and collagen problems that cause me to shed these cells out of my blood with my platelets sticking to my vessel walls around my heart valves. To make a long story short, these supplements could be damaging to some people and maybe, if possible through health insurance, the advice of a physician should be sought before use.

*nod* In general, toxicity in glucosamine is VERY low, and incidence of toxic issues is uncommon. Obviously your condition contraindicates use. I would hope that someone with your issue would know about it, and would thus know to avoid the substance.

In this world, every substance has a chance of hurting someone. There are people what are allergic to water.

We got a BUNCHA snow last night. It's gorgeous out today, now that the sun is out. Messy, but gorgeous.

Here's the beginning of the meme. I hope it will go far.


Top Johnny Depp Facts:
(originals generated in some very interesting chick-parties at My Bar.)

1. Johnny Depp is so hot the Sun gets Depp-burns.

2. Every single one of Johnny Depp's sperm is wearing a tuxedo.

3. Girls don't go through puberty. Johnny Depp thinks of them and they instantly blossom into women.

4. Johnny Depp's gaze has caused 85-year old-women to conceive.

5. Johnny Depp is so hot, God has to go to a therapist for self-esteem problems.

6. Johnny Depp turned wearing filth into a style.

7. The only person hot enough to have sex with Johnny Depp is Johnny Depp.

8. Johnny Depp can turn being a barber into a sexy profession.

9. Johnny Depp is so hot he can make Jerry Bruckheimer look like a good director.

10. Johnny Depp is so hot you can light a cigarette off his ass, but you don't have to smoke around Johnny Depp because he is the answer to all addictions.

11. Johnny Depp is perfect but he cannot go to Heaven because all of the chaste angels would fall from grace.

12. Out of respect, Johnny Depp keeps at least 10 miles away from all convents. Otherwise nuns would not be able to keep their vows.

13. The Great Plains were once an inland ocean but Johnny Depp gave it a long, steamy gaze and all the water boiled away.

14. The Fountain of Youth has finally been found. It is Johnny Depp's cock.

15. If Johnny Depp had been there instead of the serpent, Eve would have eaten the entire tree.

16. Johnny Depp's gaze has the power to compel anyone to do anything. But he has never had to use it; he just asks nicely and gets the same result.

17. Women rip off their clothes whenever they get close to Johnny Depp, but they never get cold because his Hotness creates tropical conditions within a 100-mile radius.

so.

your contributions?

18. Johnny Depp's lips have inspired rising hemlines the world over, the quirk at his mouth corner making them go asymmetrical.

19. Johnny Depp is why women don't need Viagra.

Hey PG, nice to see you in the Bistro. Hope you come back.
Good mornin' folks. I've got lemon-poppy seed muffins and sticky buns in the oven, fresh coffee brewin', and I just started squeezing today's batch of oranges for juice. BJ's probably going to be late this morn--rumor tells me it was a late night last night and things got a bit outta' hand. Morning yoga class had an awful lot of people in attendance today, not sure if that was penance, working out the kinks, or what.
Anyhow, I smell something about to burn in the kitchen, so gotta run.
Have a great day.

Thanks, Anschul! Mmmmm muffins. As for the yoga, one hopes Bijou doesn't work out ALL the kinks.

Last night I made Amish bread (sort of sweet like Hawaiian bread) and two kinds of bagels. I'll add em to the morning repast.

Oh and hazelnut coffee, just brewed.

I'm lucky. The sad fact of it is, though, that my problems are very difficult to diagnose and are usually only discovered at autopsy.

Methinks she has too many kinks to work them ALL out. At least I hope so.

I need to think this through...Amish bread...bagels...? Is this just made for a Jew in Lancaster, PA (oddly, to where I'm moving...)

...and hazelnut coffee, well...who doesn't like fresh brewed hazelnut coffee?

 

[unpredictablebijou]

*staggers in, hair all sideways, barely dressed*

mmm. coffee.

love that picture thread idea. I'm on it as soon as I wake up.

A late and crazy night indeed. First the serious part, where we made much mojo and shabadoo in the shop with the magickal training group, and then much debauchery at the Bar. I've basically abducted loststar and am keeping her through next week at least.

*mphhhh. coffee good.*

Lol. The Amish bread recipe looked interesting so I thought I'd try it. It's a little sweet for regular old sandwich bread, but it's good toasted with marmalade and it'll make great french toast. The bagels well they just rock. I could sell those puppies.

I just put together a big old pan of chicken cutlets, some to freeze, some for chicken parm tonight. And I started the San Marzano tomatoes for the sauce. Joisey cookin. My favorite.

Hands you a slice of toast with butter and marmelade. Hi.

Oh my. You are lucky then.

*hugs*

Don't die. I like you.

 

[unpredictablebijou]

*takes toast rather like a hungry stray dog would snatch a steak*
*gnaws primally*

mmm. toast. Hi. marmalade. yum.
still pretty out of it. Hope you caught a bit of that tsunami we sent out last night.

Oh my. You are lucky then.

*hugs*

Don't die. I like you.

SO SAY WE ALL

BJ

 

[Angeline]

She's not allowed to die. We need her here way too much, and I hear there's some man who *claims* to need her more than us. Hmmph.

 

[unpredictablebijou]

and for that matter:

ENGRISH!

Hi there, all, nice to see you vertical, BJ. Have a seat. Your head must hurt.

Me three to Champie!!

Just posted Lemon Poppy Seed muffins and the absolute best breakfast Quick Bread I have ever made (been baking today). Toasted, schmeared with schmear, OMG. I think I'll work on some summer recipes next. By the way, makin' ribs tonight, beef, pork, and short. Anyone for a beer?

 

[unpredictablebijou]

Hi there, all, nice to see you vertical, BJ. Have a seat. Your head must hurt.

Thanks, but I'm all good down here on the floor for the moment. I may try to climb into a chair later.

Now I'm wandering around the Engrish site, which is a perpetual favorite anyway, and found this, which I believe will be my 'care and feeding' instructions for the afternoon...

beer? Guinness? Extra stout?

Goes nicely with coffee. and marmalade. And cake.

There's always Extra Stout here. I always keep a few tucked away, just for you.

I have no intention of going into that good night, gently or kicking and screaming as I rail against the shadow... I have poems to write, and stuff.

 

[Anschul]

You are just so good to me.

Isn't that my job around here? To keep you free from the mundane duties of running the place? I do this so that you can be free to interact with the guests. And man, oh man, do you interact! I just love to watch. But then, I DO love to watch.

I just knew you were as kinky as the rest of us.

Okay, that's not true. Some of us are way, way, wayyy kinky. But you fit in, you do.

I am actually off again until tomorrow. Rather undone by last night, both loststar and I are going to go eat large pieces of meat and crash for the evening. Back tomorrow.

Hey, everybody. Tell me what cool thing you're doing over Memorial Day!

Large piece of meat, huh? Don't suppose I could be that lucky.
