This may sound insane, but have you ever gotten bad energy from someone after telling them you lift weights/exercise on your free time.

I swear it’s not all in my head.

No, it’s not in your head. I assume it has to do with their own insecurities and don’t let it bother me. I tend to keep my diet and fitness habits to myself unless talking to similarly oriented people, or unless I know someone well enough that they’ll have to cope, since it is a big part of my life.

Just wait until you see the energy you get when you tell them you lift weights/exercise NOT on your free time, and instead have to get up at 0300 to get it in!

People are funny.

I am used to being a nut.

Fitness nut.
Gun nut.
Conservative nut.

I don’t concern myself with the opinion of irrelevant people.

Not many toe dippers around here, are there?

I’ve always thought that if I’m going to be nuts it might as well be with some purpose.

Begs the question of if one can be a “moderation nut”

Just like, SUPER vanilla all the way.

Kids are the best!

I have long conversations with my now 17 year old son about spirituality, Radiohead, the Beatles, dopamine, etc


My daughter is so emotionally intelligent.

I am truly in awe of both my kids.

A friend of mines dad is like that. He holds very rigidly to the middle of the road. Tells jokes you’d hear on Johnny Carson. Dresses nicely, but not too nice. Has one 2 fingers of whiskey on the rocks.

He is extremely normal.

We’ve laughed about it a little, but good naturedly because he’s a really good genuine person.

I think that makes you a different nut but we shouldn’t go there.

“They” are listening! :shushing_face:

Now I keep getting ads like this:

I dunno where @treco has been, but I know he likes some high end classy audio equipment too.

Today we held the annual summer party at work. Temperatures for June are high indeed, resulting me wearing a tank top for the occasion. Having a white collar job, I hide myself in business clothes, which smoothens out my frame.

My co-workers seemed surprised, eyeing me in my tank top: “Muscles!”, “Eh, you look strong!”, “would you like to compare biceps?”, “You train a lot, don’t you?”.

I confess I felt both confirmed and uncomfortable at the same time. Imagine training and muscles in the wrong context. Not that they didn’t know - It’s just that everything show when you remove some clothes
 LOL

I wouldn’t stress about it.

It barely registered with me it was Father’s Day until this morning when I remembered I had to call my dad.
