The Flame-Free Confession Thread II

I tested my vert with 1 of the sprinters back in highschool. I was under 20 inches, he was over 30. The struggle of not being a natural athlete

Although nutty is probably fairly close in this case :joy:

My sister plays rugby in college and is fairly athletic, certainly nothing special but she’s no slouch. She can’t jump. I’m talking like for real. I videoed her in slo mo when I found out and it was hilarious. 3-5” MAX.

I’m the exception to ‘white men can’t jump’

The outliers.

My brother is 5’10" and dunked in high school.

He’s 59 now, fat as fuck.

Almost every fitness guru eventually becomes self obsessed.

That’s what develops their cult of personality, thousands or millions of people hanging onto their every word… about… a hobby.

It’s why I treat it like Freddie Kruger: just ignore them, and then they don’t have power.

Is power valuable?

You being an educator asking me this question just gave me PTSD flashbacks to my high school physics classes.

Is that a bad thing or a good thing. It’s your choice what value you place on it.

Lol,

Physics, WTF, were you smart or something?

Opposite problem. Passed with a high D while cheating.

Newtonian physics are for chumps; I deal strictly in metaphysics.

You’re in the past, lol. My thirteen year old son says it’s all about quantum physics.

But, I don’t know, don’t care.

It’s all meaningless.

I had sauerkraut for the first time in a while…

I hate sauerkraut.

I had apple kraut last week for the first time. Surprisingly it was not bad at all!

Eh, Im an RN in the emergency room and while I hear many of them talk about these things, and about “how hard it is to stay on a diet during night shift” I’ve been doing it rather easily for 10 years now.

As we all know, not eating garbage every day is 90% of your weight control strategy and its just a simple fact that 2/3 of Americans cant manage to do it, regardless of their job.

Having said that, while I wouldnt go so far as to say nurses or medical professionals need to be in shape, I cant imagine it helps patients retain the message when their 350lb nurse says “You need to eat healthier” … Obviously the information is correct, its just human nature to look for reasons to disregard hard truth.

And the amount of nurses and RT’s that smoke is ridiculous too, although that seems to be dropping.

Nothing like going to see the pulmonologist to be greeted by a receptionist that reeks of cigarettes.
