Glad you didn't take a chance on the potentially listeria-laden waffles!

Same - although I didn't even know it until the next day... the day after Waffle Day
Looks like my Guardian Angel is working overtime!!

Try Meetup groups with similar interests. I met several new friends at our local “boomers” Meetup

I did a few w/ a co-worker years ago. She didn't want to go alone. They weren't bad - a few were even fun.

Good morning everyone!!
Thank you all for the travel wishes. I'll miss the café but am really looking forward to ditching work for a bit. Heading Westward to visit a friend. Will be fun and relaxing and an adventure. And mostly device free
(Disclaimer: eReader doesn't count. Won't be lots of reading, but books always get a free pass )

we’re rolling and laughing at the jokes. The rest of the theater? Dead silence.

I feel very seen. I've been that person.
Also been the person in the theater where the whole crowd is roaring. Told friends "you have to see this", and the next showing w/ that friend and nothing but crickets the whole time.
Friend: So... that was the awesome movie, huh?
Me: Guess you had to be there the first time. Tonight's crowd was a dud.
Safe travels, HDH!!

4 lbs from my first goal and to get a reward. Non food of course...... down 46 total

Amazing accomplishment!! Congratulations early, Missk!!

It's good to unplug every so often. It's amazing how attached we get to information. Going out exploring and doing things can never hurt.

Batter up. Waiting for the pitch, And it's a swing and a miss! Umpire calls: STRIKE ONE!!!

Oh my that was quick. Great job!

I like the end pieces, too!

You said you like end pieces… heh heh

I don't mean to be morbid, but when it's my time, I'll be at Hillside Cemetary in our family plot just northeast of the city.

I'm in a mausoleum. 3rd of 6 shelves from the bottom. I figure if the roof leaks I won't get wet, and if it floods I should be high enough up.

One of the greatest cult classics out there! Sooooooo many quotable lines!

“HEEED! Move yer Mellon! At boy has a huge nogg’n!”…

Funny story. When I was dating my soon to be wife, we were big SNL Mike Myers fans. We went to see this in the theatre. We knew the shtick from SNL so we’re rolling and laughing at the jokes. The rest of the theater? Dead silence. Yeah, we were that couple! .

Off on the Big Ol’ jet airliner today, to parts unknown. Hopefully an easy time of it. Probably not! Everyone enjoy HumpDay. The MZ:

What a movie that was. Really a funny movie. Mike myers is a bit of a one trick pony but this and the first Austin powers were really great movies!!

Random unwanted advice: long sufferer from back pain. Two things helped: when I was younger, being thrown into the mat by a big (male or female) judoka - that somehow aligned things to better effect as long as I did it. And in later years, gentle deadlifting (which is counterintuitive, so needs to actually be done to be believed and can be started any age).

As a former martial arts instructor I can assure you that being thrown into the mat is rarely a cure for anything

Well done a reward is deserved!

What would you suggest for a 4-5 year old
We were told to start him out with wrestling
We eventually want to put him in BJJ

Morning. Have to go to the office today...... sigh

Maybe a local gymnastics class, tumbling, rolling, learning how to fall.

I would say find him a good martial arts class, judo preferably where:

The kids are allowed to have fun, the instructor is good on discipline, and they don’t do ridiculous stretches and exercise routines. Don’t go anywhere that is a rip off on fees or uniforms.

I dont like Tai Kwondo or kick boxing, for these reasons, but don’t know anything about wrestling.

If the kids enjoy it they will do well. My two started judo as five year olds. They learned that getting dumped on your butt rarely hurts anything other than your pride. The beauty of judo, and I guess wrestling, is they are hands on and kids are naturally competitive in the main. Karate is a lot of pinching and kicking fresh air! It doesn’t have the satisfaction of taking another kid down…..I would let five year olds put me on my back!

Hope this helps but it’s more about the instructor than anything!
