Posted by Richie from st james city / n ft myers, FL/st cloud on 05/13 at 11:28 AMGreat post Mickey! You should do more fitness posts. Just a request.
Posted by David from Louisville KY on 05/13 at 12:52 PMDug the Bukowski quote. There is something to be said for periods of doing nothing. The bursts of creativity will come (seems to be pretty much characteristic of both my academic work and my poetic work).
Posted by Mahatma X (The Artist Formerly Known as Dr. B.) from Oklahoma, U$A on 05/13 at 02:27 PMHello Expendables...from sunny Astoria. Thanks for the positive feedback. I’m doing a little more fitness writing lately so you will definitely see more of stuff like this amid all the other stuff.
Posted by Mickey Z. from Astoria on 05/13 at 03:33 PMMaybe you inspired everyone to go out & get fit. Hence the lack of comments.
Posted by David from Louisville KY on 05/13 at 06:24 PMI always looked at body builders with such envy. I bought all the powders and fitness bars. I used Heavy weights because it was all about mass. The bigger the better. All that crap did nothing for me. I did notice some gains but I really didn’t feel much better. I finally got discouraged and stopped working out altogether. I’ve yet to resume. I know I should. I want to but I don’t want to waste my time or money again. I’ve read with some interest about using your own body weight to get fit. Is there any truth to this?
Posted by David from Louisville KY on 05/13 at 06:31 PMFor me, David, the keys are intensity, consistency, and good form. Also, what you eat (and don’t eat) is absolutely crucial.
Posted by Mickey Z. from Astoria on 05/13 at 08:31 PMThis Jung passage reads like something from The Hundred-Year Lie, the book I just finished reading. I highly recommend it if you want about all the harmful synthetics in our daily lives. I do not recommend it, however, to any hypochondriacs, as you will hang yourself before the end of the first chapter.
Posted by Charles from Jersey City on 05/13 at 09:18 PMa healthy thought…
and a nice photograph:
http://tinyurl.com/555s8lPosted by Robert B. Livingston from San Francisco on 05/14 at 01:08 PMHi all… A prefect example of how you can never throw anything “away”. Anybody want to glow in the dark? Under Capitalism, how long will it take for this sand to be sold for use in children’s sand boxes?

“...Contaminated sand slated for Idaho dump site
Nearly 80 rail cars loaded with contaminated sand from Kuwait are headed toward a dump in southwestern Idaho.
American Ecology Corp. is shipping about 6,700 tons of sand containing traces of depleted uranium and lead to a hazardous waste disposal site 70 miles southeast of Boise. The sand arrived by ship at Longview, Wash., this week and company officials say loads are scheduled to begin arriving in Idaho by rail in two weeks.
Transfer of the sand to the United States was first reported this week by The Daily News in Longview.
The company has previously disposed of low-level radioactive waste and hazardous materials from U.S. military bases overseas at facilities in Idaho, Nevada and Texas, said American Ecology spokesman Chad Hyslop, who is based in Boise.
“As you can imagine, the host countries of those bases don’t want the waste in their country,” Hyslop said....”
Posted by RMJ from Ward Churchill 4 Prez Hdqts on 05/14 at 04:32 PMI completely agree with David: ‘Great post, Mickey!’ And the cartoon puts my thoughts not into words but into a - picture.
And hi, richie, mahatma X, Charles, Robert B. Livingston and Rosemarie from a sunny if slightly ‘cool’ Daylesford (68F is cool by Australian standards).
Still am not in a ‘chatty’ mood but always enjoy my visits to the Cool Observer’s blog and to the comment board where my fellow expendables have many meaningful things to communicate - unlike yours truly at this moment in time.
Be well, all of you!
Posted by Helga Fremlin from Daylesford, Australia on 05/14 at 09:18 PM“Less than three hundred years ago the alien ancestors of most of the families of this [Negro] race were savages or cannibals in the jungles of Central Africa. From this very primitive level they were unwillingly brought to these shores and into an environment of higher civilization for which the biological development of the race had not made adequate preparation.... Instinctively the Negro turned to the ways of the white man… and has made an effort to compensate for psychic inferiority by imitating the superior race.... Efforts to imitate his white neighbors… are often overwrought and ludicrous, but sometimes sufficiently exact to delude the uninitiated into the belief that the mental level of the Negro is only slightly inferior to that of the Caucasian.”

..........................some “thinker”Posted by Kkkarl Jung from SoCo on 05/15 at 12:39 AMHey Mickey - since you are mr. healthy, do you have a recommendation for a healthy non chemically laden electrolyte drink? I have a chronic condtion and it causes odd electrolyte imbalances. My doctor suggested I drink one bottle of gatorade every day, instead of only mineral water (becaue of my condition my fluids get too diluted if I drink too much water.) But I hate Gatorade - the chemicals and colorings and taste. Yuck! Are there any healthy natural alternatives that you could recommend?
thanks! (catchpa is “increase” - cool, as I am trying to increase my serum calcium and magnesium levels...)
