I am sure that if I had done this every day instead of my normal stationary bike ride, I would not be having the hip pain I am experiencing.

It's difficult when you feel lousy, but it's important to be extra-hydrated. That is a big 'preventer' of cramps and near-cramps.

We had that here last month. We went from "everyday above 85-95 for two months in a row" to "not a day above 60-65" in about a week and a half.

Took some getting used to.

It is an Iresine plant.Blazing Rose Iresine.They like 2 to 6 hours of direct sun and can grow 2 to 3 feet tall .Grows well in the ground or in a pot .Easy to grow and a nice pop of color with it's hot pink stems and leaves .Easy to root in water so you always have it for next season if you live where it is considered an annual.

Or you would have broken something really bad, and would be limping ever since.Also not good for hips.

The only good Republican in my opinion is Arnold Schwarzenegger and I cannot figure out why he still calls himself a Republican.

So I have been thinking about this, and concluded the following this thereby: Your invitation should be pinned somewhere. Not in every article, because that would be overkill, but up in a corner sidebar. Otherwise it will be seen by some, not all, and people will think, well, they probably don't mean me, and it will be a good idea that doesn't bear the hoped-for fruit. Never have I ever seen a comment here that says, "I log on hoping to see that loopy-looking Oregon nurse picture." I've actually seen a handful to the contrary. I even proposed auctioning her off: Donations to Make Us Take Down Oregon Nurse Picture, and it could have a target thermometer and when we hit the goal it goes away. I was, unsurprisingly, ignored. But that would be an example of a spot that's not perhaps contributing to the Good of the Common Order, whereas your idea is about nothing but that. How you'd go about making that happen, haven't a clue. But there you go, idea.

I am fortunate because my ad blocker software works to block her! I do sometimes ask if she is still there, though. I wear the same glasses she has. -_-

They look spooky on her, and not the good kind of spooky. Like they have a little invisible sign on them that says, "Don't make eye contact."

LOL and then I walked away from the computer and forgot to come back. Anarchy, predictably, ensued.

Personally, I love the crust but always save them for last to see if I get full first.
