Hi All,
I don't usually get to stop by during the day. I had a moment, so I just came in to say "Hi."
Mircea, hope the back feels better soon. You absolutely need to get it straightened out before Atlanta.
Everyone looking for a mate, I'll send some positive thougths your way. I have to run off to a meeting now. Hope to see some of you later this evening.

HUGS Mircea and I hope you feel better. Try filling an athletic sock with uncooked rice and tie the top. Then microwave for 4 minutes. Makes a terrific heating pad and it lasts a long time:)
Tristan never give up on anything ...especially love. It's always where you least expect it:)
HUGS to all and to all a good night.

Hey everybody.
I haven't been feeling good recently. I hate being sick...why am I always sick?? 
Heh, I actually am glad that I don't have a fitness room. I mean it would make me feel better about being fit and all, but I just can never get into exercise. The most I'll be able to do without dying is like jogging a mile or so. But it's okay, even with my crazy diet and lack of exercise I'm a normal weight.
Hope you start to feel better Mircea, and that you don't get whatever it is that I have...can you spread disease over the internet?

The elliptical is bizarre at first. I hated it, felt like I was going to fall off. Especially since I was doing it at at time when I could only use one arm.
I don't like the treadmill because I'm scared of those little bobbles that pull you close to the edge of the band: I'm totally freaked about shooting off the back. That, and I can't read while I run. I have to stay very focused to stay in the center of the treadmill. Doing two things at once is impossible.

Hallo.
Being alone is good. *ends advice / philosophy before she starts*
Since I'm late, as usual, some of this is from the previous thread:

*giggle*Quote:I generally seek solitude every time, and I never go to a doctor. I hate doctors (which is kind of ironic, considering I build medical devices for and with them). However, when the pain / illness is slight and unimportant, I whimper and look even more pathetic than normal in trying my best to elicit sympathy from co-workers. Or just to get them sick, too.

How do you deal with pain and illness? Your own, I mean. Do you seek aid and pampering from others or do you crawl into a corner to lick your own wounds?
When the pain / illness is significant and potentially very dangerous, I still avoid doctors and latch on to silent stoicism like there's no tomorrow (which, thinking about it, could actually be the case). It's only after I've been coughing up blood for a week that I actually bother a physician. And since I survived, I must be correct in my behavior. *snikker*
Quote:Eh, I hope not. I'm not good at this "water cooler talk," either. It conjures images of work, and I avoid people at work at all costs.

*struggles with not avoiding the imponderables due to the work-related connotation* *struggle, struggle*
Bah. I am brooding because of work, which leaves me with nothing to say, so I'ma go hide in a corner and sulk. Maybe cry. We'll see.

Hi HK and Rugbug.
Actually as much as I dislike working out, for the short time that I was part of a gym, the elliptical was the one I could actually do. I agree with you about treadmills though....it always seems like you're gonna fall off.
Hk, I can't agree with the not doing anything when you're sick. As I said before, I really hate not being well, so I need to get better as soon as possible...and others pampering me is never too bad either

Howdy all! Been in training all day and figured on droppin' in before going home.
Training was a crash course in training foster parents on the twenty million aspects of their jobs and how to deal with them. The parents get one hour a week for fifteen to twenty weeks whereas we get eight hours and a big ass book to work out of. Ah the fun.
I was glad to see so many chime in since my last visit. Sorry I missed ya 'Neko. Hugs.
To anyone I missed, hugs.
I'm out for the evening. G'night.

Hiya, ASortOfFairyTale!

My problem, though, is that by working in the medical device industry, I see way too many things that I don't necessarily want to see when it comes to physicians, their practice, and their equipment. I've learned too much. I guess it's kinda like some people becoming vegetarians after walking through a slaughter house.

As you'll discover in a handful of lines, this is a subject which I am wholly unqualified to answer. Although, when I am sick, I tend to take it with a pinch of whine but no meds (because I've only been that sick... let's see... once?).
Quote:

To make up for the fact that people like me are never sick. Sorry.
Oh, and I've been meaning to ask: what sort of fairy tale are you, exactly?
::goes to get a little paper cup, but isn't sure if the white handle-y thing means hot or cold::
Can we do a water fountain instead? Those things are way more user-friendly. Plus, they're so pretty, and you can run (naked, if you'd like) through the big, fancy ones.
Ooh, glitter...
