Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

I confess I just ate a one-pound turkey meatloaf and may be sweating more now than during my morning workout.

I confess that I love recovery.

Hah. I just listened to this today too.

15 year old me laughed at this song because I thought it couldn’t possibly be true.

28 year old me laughs at this song to keep from crying because it’s 100% spot on :upside_down_face:

Too expensive, had to trade it in for a rag on a stick…badabump. (credit @doogie)

@tlgains

Imo, sharp objects can actually irritate further, you need something with a wide surface area, like a rag on a stick lol. Also, if you’re like me, you probably won’t be able to reach the spot with just a pencil, you need something with more reach. Back scratchers are a little better, and obviously have the reach, but still not enough surface area IMO.

I confess I have obviously given this way too much thought, but as someone prone to itchy dry skin, youse gotta do what youse gotta do.

(shite, now my back feels itchy)

I started on Monday. Looking forward to learning but it’s also kind of like, ā€œYay, more tests!ā€ (sarcasm)

Getting close to the end. After that, only 50 years of working, then from there on out it should be pretty easy.

Those plaid pants. :+1:

Dude I had so many pair growing up and had zero sense of matching colors or patterns.

The only plaid pants I ever had was circa late '70’s leisure suit style.

Looked like a 6 year old Mr. Farley. :rofl:

Not nearly as cool as hers.

Alexa Bliss from WWE used this as a walkout song and then bowling for soup made a song called ā€œAlexa Blissā€. The band isn’t great musically but the songs are catchy.

The early 00’s were great, too. Lots of residual 90’s stuff left over, with less goofy clothes. But yeah - I’m very much a 90’s child as well.

By the way - totally unrelated but the highest volume of forum members are in this thread so I thought I’d give everyone a heads up - my youngest started getting sick this evening, and after an hour of driving around finding that everyone was out of antigen tests (and no testing at any pharmacies or urgent cares anywhere it seems), I looked online at home and found a company, GoPuff - just search for them - that is doing 24/7 delivery of covid tests in 1,000 cities across America. Tests were going to be $25 at Target/Walgreens, this was $33 for the delivery fee and the tests, I ordered it at 7:50 PM and it got to my house at 8:20.

I know it’s way off topic - just trying to reach out to people on here in case anyone is in need of a test, I was pretty surprised at their service. I’d have made a new topic, but since it’d be in the off topic section I just feel like it’d turn political in two seconds, so hopefully people can honor my request to not make this into a covid discussion in here, note the information, and move on quickly.

Let me guess - liberal cities? America’s not what it once was. Did you hear about the vaccine?

Oh wait, my bad bro.

EDIT: this is a joke

Don’t worry bro, I love me some sarcasm. No need to clarify the joke, haha.

Clarification more for any serious minded PWI people who may see it, haha.

So this just happened:

A woman I know on Facebook posted this-

And a guy who considers himself quite erudite responds " and for absolute proof go to your nearest church basement and listen to the friends of Bill W. ".

To which I replied ā€œAre you sure about that?ā€.

Sometimes I just can’t resist a sweet ironic zinger.

Confession - some of the language Americans use to describe exercising really bugs me. Someone may have said the same sometime in the past, but I still want y’all to read the winter of my vocabularic discontent.

Stop calling exercises ā€œbrutalā€, ā€œsavageā€, or other hyperbolic terms of violence or sadism. Unless someone’s flaying your back while you do planks or smashing your groin with a bat at the bottom of each squat rep, the exercise is only ā€œdifficultā€ or maybe even ā€œVERY difficultā€, but not barbaric. At-will, hobbyist exercising, no matter how intense, is NOT subjugating or exposing oneself to ferocity.

I confess I get a bit of enjoyment out of the fact that I take up 1.5 bus seats. It’s impractical and those seats are ridiculous but the meathead in me is proud.
