OT - when you lose someone dear to you

Aniki-Moderator's picture

A dear friend of mine recently lost her SO. Sadly, their time together was much too short. Full of love and hopes and dreams, but too damn short. Her heart is broken and my heart aches for her.

Her SO had health issues. Many would have called him a broken man. IMHO, so many of us are broken or have been broken in some way. Most of the time, we are able to patch or shore up the cracks and keep going. Sadly, her SO could not.

OT - Tone-Up Tuesday

Happy Tuesday, STalkers! How goes it?

After all the steroids I had to take, i'm surprised I only gained 5 lbs. Steroids make me eat like a fat man at a hot dog eating contest!

Fall at LAST and cooler temps. Makes it easier to get outside for some sunshine and fresh air and not sweat like an Olympian.

What is your favorite Fall activity? Kayaking and canoeing top my list.

Hi all. MidWestMrs here visiting with Aniki. Shes still sick but feeling better - hopes to be back at work next week but probbly half days. She ask me to thank you all for the get well wishes and concern and she misses stalk!! She's talking, I'm writing........

Forgive and Forget. That's a hard one for me. I have always found it in my heart to forgive. Sure there are times it take me longer to forgive, but I manage to do it for my peace of mind.

OT - Thirsty Thursday

Happy Thursday, STalkers!

Right now, I'm pretty sure I sound like Thurl Ravenscroft after he smoked 20 packs of cigs in 5 hours. Maybe I should record my voice for Halloween...

What is your go-to drink when you have a sore throat or a cold with a phlegmy throat? Is it hot? Cold?

I typically go for hot drinks to try and loosen up the crud.

OT - Everyone Wednesday

I usually do Women Wednesday, but this topic is for everyone. Major's recent blog gave me the idea. (Thank you, Major!!)

FEAR OF CHANGE

We all have reasons why we fear change. It’s annoying, overwhelming, frustrating, unnecessary, time-consuming, and so on. Let’s DIG. Dig deeper than the circumstance, deeper than your reaction to the circumstance, DIG into the real reasons we’re afraid of change, whether it’s frustration over process changes or overwhelm over a change in career or fear of a change within ourselves or our lives.

OT - Tone-up Tuesday

Aniki-Moderator's picture

It's that time again, STalkers. Some weeks, it seems like Tuesday comes around more often than Saturday.

What's your favorite exercise for toning your glutes?

I do stairs. Up, down, up, down, up, down. Stair climbing a great way to tone your butt AND legs. The combination of sinultaneous ankle, knee, and hip extenstion means you work your legs naturally and without the impact commonly ASSociated with jogging, running, or sprinting.

At what age are you okay with kids "demanding" a hairstyle and facial hair?

Aniki-Moderator's picture

I'm old school and grew up in a military family. My brothers were required to wear their hair short. My sisters and I could have long hair as long as it didn't interfere with things. Dad did not allow my brothers to grow a moustache until they were 16. They were allowed to grow beards at 18. My sisters and I didn't start growing moustaches and beards until we hit middle age...
