i must! so what IS kobe beef?

you might be interested in Alice Munro's short story "My Mother's Dream"... it's not funny, though.

oh great, now you'll be working out with a IV drip.

i'm sorry i make you nervous, but i'm perfectly comfortable feeling the way i do. i'm not talking about the ugly being brave, i'm talking about everyone being brave enough to face things they don't consider perfect. so yeah... who's being idealistic again? people need to grow some balls and face life fully... in all its ugliness and beauty.

i haven't had kobe beef.

should we all be shielded from everything we don't consider perfect? imperfect sights, sounds, news, truths about life... needless to say, we wouldn't know true beauty if we shun what is generically unpleasant. shying away from what you dislike is a recipe to make yourself into a real WIMP. i say deal with life, and it's unpleasantness, rather than hiding from it.

well, how about if you have a protein shake equivalent (tuna and fruit, etc) like 45 minutes after? is that too long? what about 30 min after?

if everyone who appeared unattractive to someone else never went out in public, there'd be nobody in public.

that's... that's... *sniff*... so POETIC!

thanks... now in english?

it can be a hormonal (natural or.. additive) thing, or a "smokes too much weed" thing, or a weight thing, or a genetics thing. it's probably not that unusual...but since people don't tend to go around without their shirts on, you can't always tell what's underneath the clothing.

don't worry.. there are still some straight girls out there for you people who can't handle someone with a sexually diverse past. as others have said, i feel what is important is that my partner is faithful to me and enjoys what we do sexually.

you'll have to curb your calories, or burn more calories... it's no "secret."

it starts getting complicated (for me) when there's talk of having to consume a *certain* amount of fat, carbs, and protein before and after workouts. how significant are one's losses/gains if one consumes the correct amount of everything but at the "wrong" times? if i don't get, say, 30 gms of protein in an hour after my workout, but do consume .8-1 gm protein/lb body weight over the course of the day, will it have a truly noticeable impact on my ability to grow stronger? if it does have a noticeable impact, are we talking like "i'll be able to do a couple more reps of bicep curls next time" or "i'll be able to add 10 lbs to my bicep curls next time"? obviously, the latter is a bit of an exaggeration, but ...

you're saying men and women have different carbohydrate needs? i didn't know this

slow, not fast! even if she's really aroused, her vaginal muscles won't be used to such a large object. he needs to ease into her, allowing her to relax and become used to the feeling of having him inside her. if he starts with his fingers and tongue, it'll be much easier.

tell her that she and her husband should have lots of foreplay, take it slow, and communicate about how their bodies feel. what made it uncomfortable the first few times i had intercourse was that i was overeager in the sense that i didn't allow myself adequate time to become aroused. the vaginal muscles will stretch when a woman becomes aroused, but not INSTANTLY.

yes... i love seeing young children on the subway because everyone in the vicinity tends to end up smiling happily

babies and dogs both tend to like me, but i must admit i'm more fond of dogs. then again, i've been around more dogs than babies.

i feel most "alive" when i have things to occupy my time but also find time to relax and do silly things, when i don't drink caffeine, when i eat in a balanced way(but actually eat FRESH FOOD, as opposed to processed stuff like energy bars), when i do both cardio and weight training, when i sleep 8 hrs a day, and when i make love a lot. but it sounds like you're being healthy, in general. maybe you need more kissing! hehe. :>

could be what you're eating... if you've gone from a high protein, balanced diet to suddenly eating a whole lot of carbs, that might throw your body off a bit. or maybe you just need a break from whatever you're doing? i'd say "take a vacation," but for all i know you're ON vacation and what you need is to do something intensive like school again. :]

i don't see why acting sad when something is sad, acting angry when something angers you, or acting happy when something makes you happy somehow makes someone "less of a man." except, of course, that imbedded in culture are gender roles that dictate as such... but for no good reason.

are you eating a reduced number of calories? do you drink caffeine? have you been getting enough sleep? are you stressed? :|

i don't believe in this "men have goals, but women have emotions" black and white bullshit. being emotionally mature, *regardless* of your gender, means you have the ability to recognize your emotions and, by recognizing them, decide to act or NOT act on them. no one is perfect, of course, and it's certainly not easy to live a balanced life, but we all have it in us... if only we try hard enough. no offense eckobarbie, but you have NO excuse not to think unless you happen to be plain ol' *stupid.* if you feel taken advantage of, it's because you aren't doing everything you can to protect yourself.

quick q: why do you do unweighted hyperextension? you could definitely make those 3 sets more strenuous by clasping a plate to your chest.
