  Maybe the plan is to make it look like CVS/Walgreens/etc so it will be easier to flip later. Hey, but at least it has windows, so nobody can complain about that. All I can say is ugly. But perhaps that is appropriate and fits in with the rest of the American big box, strip mall architecture style.

  Health, fitness and recovery advice

  i hope this is okay with you simon, but since i've noticed the number of forum members looking to discuss or seek advice on various health issues i thought it would be a good idea to start a thread dedicated to this topic alone.

  any discussions or advice on these matters could be put here where any and all would be welcome to jump in with any help they could offer.

  i am working on the first questions at the moment taken from the cognac/morpheus weight loss thread.

  Thanks for the stretching tips. We have a balcony just outside so I will try to go out there more frequently. Now that the weather is nice, I also go for a good after-lunch walk. As a bonus, there are some free standing exercise machines in the park.

  i looked around my hall and saw so many miserable unbelieving mates and relatives it was actually funny.

  they were in a glazed-over stupor.

  they looked liked children forced to go to an opera.

  I have to agree about the benefits of starting to work out again. My wife and I started going to a local community-center gym once a week. We go on nights where it is not so crowded. On Tuesday and Thursday there are maybe 10 other people there and we pay about $2-3 per visit. If we want to buy a card, we can reduce that to about $1.

  My wife mostly does cardio but will probably start doing some light weight work soon. I do about 50/50. I am 59 and my wife is older. We both feel great when we come back and after a shower, it often leads to other things. We are both still in decent shape, but want to get the metabolism going. I spend too much time in front of a computer (for work) and want to get flexible again...

  "I should have known" moments

  i got ready for the meeting.

  my wife did too.

  we drove out to the kingdom hall and the closer we got the higher my anxiety would spike.

  I had some of the same symptoms. It ended up working for me though after the 2 cong's merged to one. There were just too many people in such a small area, my wife knew I couldn't handle it. She called ahead and tried to save some seats for us in the back row but my lack of regular attendance led to some starting to avoid me when I did come. In Poland it is customary to go around the entire hall and greet everyone when you arrive. That makes it easy to see who is avoiding you.

  Actually, I should have known when I first came into contact with them, but my lack of critical thinking skills and the love-bombing from my new instant friends ruled the day. What a cluster-f*ck!

  My parents haven't been to a meeting for a year now....

  now don't get me wrong, they still consider themselves jw's.

  but they seem to be plagued with ill health... especially on meeting days?

  they are very depressed about it of course and moan about how much they would like to be at the hall.

  I would just encourage them when they make any effort to do 'real' activities outside the KH. If you are able, perhaps take them out for a meal once in a while or even just coffee. Depending on where you live, there might be lots of diversions they would enjoy that don't cost much. It is hard to admit you made a mistake, so they probably are experiencing a bit of CD.

  Americans aren't allowed to grow their own food?

  by purrpurr in

  2. friends

  i was recently told by an american i was chatting to online that in the usa people are not allowed to grow their own food.

  she said that if you have a vegetable patch or something that the government will come along and bulldoze it?

  she said that farmers are not allowed to grow food either and that the government bulldozes the crops if they grow?.

  It is a bit of an exaggeration but in some suburban communites especially those with a HomeOwners Association there is typically some type of covenant in place. You might not be able to raise chickens in your back yard for instance and as mentioned most likely a veggie garden in the front yard would not be tolerated. YMMV.
