I went for years without heavy weight training but it's so important as we hit middle age to combat muscle loss and increase bone density. What I love about the kettlebell is it's like the Swiss army knife

My Father was the same way. He had a tough upbringing and was a golden gloves boxer in the military. He pushed me to the brink of exhaustion sometimes but I can see the value in what he did now. I think

Thanks, the entire process has been rewarding for me. I had purchased a Storyworth subscription for my Mom last year and that's what gave me the idea of doing it myself. You should try the kettlebell!

Thanks, I was surprised by how nicely the book was put together! When I chose the option of color instead of b/w photos I thought it would triple the price but it was the same as if I had chosen black

I don't agree with not holding the vandals themselves accountable for their actions. No matter what a person's opinion of Musk is I don't believe it gives them the right to harm someone else's property

That's a great point! Being a romantic is so much more than just romantic relationships. That's certainly my life-philosophy. It being a romantic, at its base level, just means you're generally optimistic

True, they don't get beyond the "triggered" stage. I saw today a sitting US Senator was spreading disinformation via their social media account about how Elon (DOGE) was planning to eliminate

I've been in my fair share of relationships. While I still like the idea of romance, I realize I was much more of a romantic when I was younger. Over time, I’ve come to believe that we’re drawn to certain

You're welcome! It would be an easy place to love. Spanish is fairly easy to learn too. Enjoy each moment of the rest of your time there and safe travels heading back!

It's very frustrating to watch it all unravel. Anyone who is a student of history can pretty much see how this ends if we stay on the current course. We definitely need unity.

It is! I'm a lifelong democrat but the party has shifted so far to the left that I feel like I was totally abandoned. Where do you think the future of American politics is headed? I'm beginning to wonder

Amen! I fear what's going to happen to us if people don't begin using that thing between their ears. I even witnessed a U.S. Senator spreading blatant disinformation on X this morning and people were

I've never been to Spain but it looks incredibly gorgeous—a little like Portugal but with older buildings. I'm glad you've had such a great trip. You certainly deserve it.

What a good era for music. I was so into rap music during my teen years that I missed out on so much of it. Last summer my wife and I saw Duran Duran in concert at the Minnesota State Fair (they were

Haha, maybe some day! That would solve so many problems.

It's another issue that's been politically polarized I think. I only hear people on the right discussing it.

Very cool! Which model did you ride in? We didn't see a whole lot of them when we were last there in 2019 but I imagine there are more now. I heard many of the black cabs in London are now EVs.

I wish more people had the ability to make that distinction! Or at least realize that destruction isn't the answer to their grievances.

That's true! He mentioned this on his recent appearance on the JRE Podcast. He said he went from being a lifelong moderate democrat to a right-wing extremist even though none of his stances or opinions

Certainly! Yeah, I don't agree with everything Elon says or how he conducts himself sometime. He's an impulsive person, that can work in his favor sometimes and other times it comes back to bite him in
