There was a lot of doughnut talk on Mexican Sharpshooter’s post yesterday. I love doughnuts. I mean I looooooooooove doughnuts. But I will eat way too many, which makes me way too fat. Every time I see a morbidly obese person, I wonder how much strain their heart is under.
My paternal grandfather died from his second heart attack. My father has already outlived his father, so I suspect this is about lifestyle rather than genetics. For a guy who worked long hours, for a lot of years, my dad has done a pretty good job of staying fit.
When people first think of cardiovascular health, they tend to think about their heart. Obviously, the heart is a major part of this, but your cardiovascular system includes your blood and blood vessels:
There are three main forms of circulation throughout the cardiovascular system: pulmonary circulation, coronary circulation, and systemic circulation. Pulmonary circulation (the lungs) denotes the path that blood takes through the lungs in which the blood cells are infused with oxygen. Coronary circulation (the heart) refers to the movement of blood through the tissues of the heart. The systemic circulation (the rest of the body) denotes the path that blood takes throughout the body to provide needed nutrients and oxygen to all the cells in your body. Blood also travels through portions of the digestive system where it obtains needed nutrients and minerals.
Regular exercise will improve your overall level of fitness and endurance. It improves your overall immune system which may allow you to ward off many debilitating diseases. I’m looking at you, Type II diabetes.
All of this means you need to incorporate some type of regular aerobic activity into your life. There is no one right workout. Glibfitters walk, run, hike, bicycle, jump rope, masturbate, and skateboard. There are probably some other declared activities I’m overlooking.
There is no one right activity. You have to choose the activity that is right for you. It must be appropriate to your current fitness level, maintain your interest, and motivate you. You can also consider mixing and matching different activities.
Notice what I didn’t say about choosing an activity is it has to fit into your schedule. You must find a way to include your chosen activity in your schedule. That means your schedule may need to change. You only go around once, sorry Hindus. Make the most of it.
I guess I’ll repeat what I said last week, it’s time to start running.
This week’s music.

#metoo.
I’ve been wanting to get up to Sunday River Brewing now that they are open again. New ownership. Rick Savage sold the place, probably because he couldn’t open given the legal trouble. He won the initial rounds against Mills, but lost the later rounds. Their doughnuts, under Savage’s ownership, were delicious. I’ve heard they no longer have doughnuts.
RE: the music: I wonder if this beer is still available.
They still make it. It’s a good one.
Excellent. I will keep my eyes open for it. Thanks!
Good to know. I’ll have to look for it.
Bodyweight is 266.6 lbs.
I started the new program the trainer came up for me. I couldn’t finish the leg day. Lateral lunges were part of the warm-up for leg day. The trainer was watching me, and pointed out my form sucked. After fixing my form, I finished a set. And then my legs exploded in pain. My adductors are weak and were overworked. I managed to get a little of leg day in, I’ll just have to build up.
On the other hand, I am making good progress with increasing the weights for my sled work.
Seen at the gym: I saw a woman do a single bench press rep with 135 lbs. She made it look easy.
As I wrapped up what I was doing today, I heard Bad Porno Audition Dude behind me. Yay.
This lass was in Q’s chive link on the morning links. I think she counts as GlibFit.

Hawt.
Can you squat? During the ‘vid lockdown, all I did was bodyweight squats and lunges. I think they fucked me up for awhile. Once I got back under a bar, all was well.
I’m still working on full range of motion conventional deadlifts. Until I get that, belt squat machine for me.
After I get full range of motion conventional deadlifts, then squatting with a barbell again.
We’re working on restoring me back to normal slowly.
Good. I hope you get there soon.
Lateral lunges really point out the need to workout in a range of motion. I had a similar experience to you. But you will get stronger with time.
It’ll come. I think I just threw myself into the new program too hard and fast.
I’m kinda where you are, DEG. Trying to get pulled back together enough to do a proper lifting workout.
30 years of being sedentary has a price.
My glib fit was to power wash the smoker, scrub it, and prep to be researched. I’m over it
Prepped to be reseasoned.
Rouge makes a Voodoo Donut beer. It’s gross to me, I don’t like overly sweet beers.
I prefer a good balanced porter or stout.
From the dead thread – are you fermenting the hot sauce?
Yep. I put them in the jar to ferment today. I’ll ferment for a week or two. I got the jar lids with the built in check valve.
Three different types:
Habanero, onion, mango, pineapple, and ginger.
Jalapeño, kiwi, and chive.
Roasted poblano, Serrano, onion, garlic, and cumin.
Those sound great!
Jalapeños kiwi and chive sounds amazing. I think I would want some smokiness in that but damn that sounds might fine on top of a fish taco
Ooh, please take pictures. Those sound delicious.
Will do. I used green habaneros as the donor didn’t think they will turn this year before the first frost.
Fit wise, I’ve been slipping on my dumbbell routine, but I maintained the push-ups.
My cardio entails 6flights of stairs four times a day.
?
I’m going to die too young if I don’t take getting in shape seriously. Going to get in lots of walking in the new job.
I got some new safety tow shoes so I wouldn’t be slowed down by my footwear. Timberland with composite toes are working really well as I break them in.
those are good shoes
Great boots. They are an easy break in. They don’t need much of any.
I think that is why the army went to a similar type of boot.
I prefer Keens but that is me.
I recently got some Scarpa approach shoes for hiking trails. Unbelievably nice and a vibram sole.
I got some Hokas for the concrete jungle. They are just ok and are wearing quite fast. Will not purchase again.
Was wearing Astrals, but they wore out too fast. Shoes are a bitch.
I wear Timberland “clompers” during colder weather when I have to wear my big-boy pants. It took me awhile to break them in because of my dainty little old lady feet. Heel blisters galore. They are comfy now. They make me feel weird though, because of the thick heels. I feel like playing some music from Parliament when I wear them.
Bootsie.

I wish there was some video to go with that.
Not one bike ride in last week due to weather issues and laziness. Much walking was had and lifting of heavy things though so that was good. I love doughnuts too but have not had one in months and months. Meat is being cooked today while getting some Vit D after a cheat weekend of half a pizza and some bread.
Chafed!
Thanks as always, brother! This was far and away the most important thing you wrote:
You must find a way to include your chosen activity in your schedule.
“Not enough time” is bullshit. The 10,000 steps a day thing is kind of, too, but the whole idea is to create habit and prioritization. I started walking every day in July 2019 and have only missed a handful of days in that time. Once you get into the groove it doesn’t even require thought.
Yesterday’s hike was 5 miles in El Dorado Canyon. 1200 feet of gain and absolutely spectacular weather. Lifting and sleep were meh this week, but next will be much better – calling it now!
Have a great week Glibfitters!
Oh, and I found out there is a rink two miles from my house with weekly drop-in hockey and men’s league. Hello cardio!
That is absolutely what I need to be doing. Maybe once I’m unemployed I’ll get to it ha!
It’s great stress relief. I noticed that one of the leagues is a Thursday lunchtime one, which would be amazing.
Only downside of the drop-in is that is at 6am on Fridays. Pretty early for this old body!
Oh nice! That used to be a pretty regular thing for you, didn’t it?
Yes! Once or twice a week for many years. I need to build a new network out here.
Sounds like a great hike.
Did a bit of a deep dive on our typical week of meals to see our vitamin intake. Potatoes, mushrooms, mixture of proteins from pork, beef, fish and chicken. Lots of leafy greens. Spinich, carrots, broccoli, Brussel sprouts all in heavy rotation. Lots of homemade stocks, milks, cheeses. Onion and garlic in heavy use
Needs more asparagus and maybe some avocado.
Avocado is always available and asparagus is when the crops are good. Also didn’t note..peanuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts always available at the house.
Green Bay: Crosby = Goat. Poor bastard.
Lots of FG misses.
Right on the heels of a 27-FG streak for him.
Seems he got over the yips at the end though.
This is hilarious.
In the end the right team won.
He was just building the suspense. C’mon Cincy, you have a chance. Here let me help you.
I knew they could pull out the loss.
Whoa..that was close. I was just about to climb onto the Ben-gal bandwagon. Who goes for a 49yd field goal when you are 4th and one..when there has been 3 straight missed FGs. There goes the Mike Brown perfect 7-9 season…
For those who missed it, the last several drives of the game
Fuck running.
Fuck running with a ten-foot pole, STEVE SMITHS DICK, a rusty chainsaw that has soup cans for blades, three dozen dull steak knives, an East German women weightlifter, and anything else I can think of. Fuck running.
If my choices are run or die, I choose die.
Fuck running.
One can get one’s aerobic exercise in other ways. Walking is good, as is swimming.
Your knees will love you more too.
Yeah. I never liked the way I felt when I tried running.
Heck, I took kayaking for one of my college PE requirements and had a blast.
Oh, I love walking and riding my bicycle, just fuck running. Cardio is great, it usually comes with a lot of fun, but fuck running.
I’m also averse to running. I get shin splints when I run. Walking and hiking are good.
I’ve been spending a lot of time on the elliptical. Running for distance would wreck my knees.

Glib Fit tip of the day: eat more hot peppers.
That was interesting Dean. I had no idea.
Fucking autocorrect. Dean = Sean.
It’s just the anti-Irish algorithm in action. Fuck the English. Assholes.
/Kidding
True-dat and goes with all things in moderation. Made a frittata for brunch today with some questionable old turkey breast…a liberal application of Bandito hot sauce for the salvage.
I’m roasting up some green bean almondine with red peppers and bacon and garlic. Health food.
Hi Chafed, Greetings from NOCAL-BEL. Great hike this morning. 8 miles with 1350 ft climb on single track. Rattle snake sunning on the trail, dog walked right by and didn’t even notice; snake didn’t care. Adrenaline pump and dump for me. Charging cow at hike end..tap on nose with hiking stick required! Another pump and dump. Biochemical HIIT FTW.
I love me a good donut; nothing fancy, maybe a glazed or an old fashion cake.
G-fit update: Sleep was very good; great sleeping weather. Food was protein and too much fruit. Wife made Key-lime pie..I carb sinned but no remorse. Hike mileage was up 42 miles. Wim Hoff/meditative “ancient man” techniques; Did 1 times with cold swim. Weight up to 176. Need to cut back on the fruit this week. Re-upped at the gym. See how much muscle strength I lost over the last 18 months…
Goals: Outside goal weight range max (175-170)..damn. Still not dead from Covid…MB;MC
To live better, fat adapt, skip a meal or three!
Exciting hike.
Yeah, rattlesnakes are usually pretty lazy.
I spent a good part of the afternoon burning trash. I’m calling that exercise. Plus, I got to use my flamethrower.
Is that an emission free flamethrower? –asking for Gavin Newsome
Carbon neutralizer
Well, it emits fire.
I was sick for a week, took off lifting, and squatted a new max right after. BUT….my legs burn like they haven’t since I first started. Sucks. Off-putting. But I’ll be back at it tomorrow.
I need to be less fat, also. Dinner with friends at Mad Mex tonight won’t help that.
No alcohol in six weeks. Not missing it.
I find that after warm-up sets most of that burn goes away. You’ll kick ass tomorrow.
Not missing it.
Good for you. That will burn the weight off, too.
Good luck!
I’m making a roasted Tex-Mex chicken. Instead of lemon garlic and herbs, I’m using lime, jalapeno, garlic, cumin and Mexican oregano.
*Looks around for low carb tortillas and sour cream*
I was thinking of making a cabbage slaw.
What an unusual Thanksgiving dinner.
You could add refried beans and Spanish rice. Plus green salad.
It got sort of sunny out so I took a nice long walk and did some shopping. Pouring rain on the walk home. ?
Where is the crisp cool already?
Yeah, still waiting.

They tension the legs and glutes so the massagers are more effective.
Glibfit this week — 5 bottles of red wine. It’s good for the heart.
Sounds like you are following the SCIENCE!
I’ve been getting my exercise packing up and moving things. I did 3 circuits around Ikea yesterday, albeit not necessarily voluntarily.
So, my dad was overweight and died of a heart attack at 51. Being overweight didn’t kill him. Anger and stress did. He never met a hill he wouldn’t die on, then he did.
See, that’s my thing. Stress. I need a Glibfit on stress management. I will say that because of Glibfit I have stopped my sugar addiction and I am eliminating alcohol as much as possible. Have reduced carbs too. I have a long way to go to get fit and reduce stress.
My problem is my stress tolerance is very high so I don’t recognize when I need that release valve utilized before I am at the inflection point.
Is your tolerance high? Or has it become such a natural part of your environment that you ignore it until the fire?
I sometimes wonder if I cultivate stress.
I didn’t know how much I had internalized my stress and how high it was until we got a lifeline thrown to us.
That is a good question. I operate better in stressful situations. No deadline and I basically wait until the stress builds before I act.
Massages. Meditation. Finding things that bring you joy and doing them. Finding significant things to be grateful for. Understanding the phrase “it is what it is”. Journaling, Learning how to BREATHE.
Of course, that’s easy for me to say NOW when we’re on the verge of dumping this money pit that helped give me ulcers, but I am better able to handle things when I think about the good things.
THAT SAID, I am on antidepressants, which worked okay by themselves, I guess. I got much better when an anxiolytic and ADHD med were added to my morning cocktail. I still have panic attacks every once in a while, but nothing triggers them, I know what they are, I’m always alone, and I can just ride them out.
I had to drop my art class because of moving and upcoming surgery, but I really enjoyed that and I miss it.
I know you’re well aware of this because we’ve talked about it before, but for others reading who are wondering about how to do these things: Stoic philosophy. It’s a great way to think about the world and live a more peaceful life. My personal favorite is Seneca’s Letters on Ethics. Marcus Aurelius is good as well, and although he tends to repeat himself over the course of Meditations, it’s still a worthwhile read. Epictetus is another great figure in the Stoic school of thought.
I’m currently reading the Dao De Jing as well, and there are a lot of parallels with Stoic thought.
One thing that baffles me: Sometimes when people come to me with a problem, my advice is usually some form of “work on fixing the problem, or work on accepting it”. Some people seem to find this extremely offensive on the grounds that I’m “minimizing their feelings”. You can treat your emotions as sacrosanct messages that must always be recognized and acted on, or you can realize that sometimes our emotions are bullshit and should be pushed aside.
I think about the Stoics occasionally. I find myself stopping when I’m overwhelmed or panicking, closing my eyes, breathing deeply for a minute, then kind of resetting my mind. I have lately taken comfort in “slow is smooth, smooth is fast”.
Try this 3 round fast stress reset. Fold your hands together in prayer. Take a deep breath. Exhale fully. While fully exhaled, squeeze your hands together as hard as you can for as long as you can without taking a breath. When you can no longer go without breath. Take a deep breath. Exhale fully. Squeeze hands for as long as you can without taking a breath. Take another big breath. Fully exhale and squeeze hand together for as long as you can without taking a breath. Then breath normally. See…it takes less than 5 or 7 minutes.
I will try that
It’s pretty good. If you like try Wim Hoff method. It’s 11 minutes.
That’s sad, Mojo. 51 is way too young. I think you mentioned major issues with him, so I’m not sure how you feel about that.
If I make it to Feb., I will be alive longer than my mom was. My mom was abusive, but she softened considerably after I left home.
Yes, there were issues. When he died, I felt like I’d been released from prison.
However, as my kids get older, I am finding more and more that I understand where he was coming from, and I am starting to sympathize. I am not nearly as controlling as he was, which was part of his stress/anger cycle. My problem is maybe I wasn’t as controlling as I should have been. I’m not a micromanager and it’s exhausting.
I also have come to suspect he was bipolar. I am almost 100% positive he was fighting depression, but one of my brothers and I and my daughter are all mildly bipolar. Too, I think he was hypoglycemic (prediabetic). Hypoglycemia can mimic alcoholic rage, but he didn’t drink. Those ywo things would explain a whole lot.
Hypoglycemia sucks for sure. I’ve only known two people who were diagnosed with it. One was when I was in the AF. I always thought he was just a sexually frustrated asshole. I mean more than the rest of us. 😉 He went into multiple rage fits, and we all just looked at him like he was crazy. He got medically discharged. I felt bad for him after that.
Mojeaux. Teen wants art classes. Beyond school, can you think of anything for him? Seeing what our city offers and maybe some local places but that doesn’t seem to be a business that gets opened up.
Not sure what you’re asking. Like, community classes for personal enrichment? I took a watercolor class through the local library, but it’s a FANTASTIC library system and my librarian friends tell me it’s renowned throughout librarydom. I also took a bookbinding class through the local art store. There’s a whole section of town that sponsors one-off art classes here and there.
I took my art classes at the local juco, but he’s still in high school? Is he taking art in high school?
The Other Kevin and I had arranged for him to give me a watercolor class via zoom but that got put on hold for a bit. I think he wants to explore teaching that way.
And TOK is a FANTASTIC artist.
Also, Straff has been watching YouTube and simply practicing and he’s getting excellent. Maybe he’ll post another pic he did of Norm McDonald’s eyes.
I think, besides Zoom classes with TOK, I’m going to just go off YouTube once we’re moved and settled in.
Aw shucks. Thanks!
And a kick-ass hockey player.
That is high praise from someone who’s seen me play. I’ll post about this tomorrow, but next weekend I’m playing with our A team in San Antonio.
Yeah hard to ask what he is asking. He wants lessons. He can can get guitar, coding, vocal, dance classes, but art seems hard to come by.
Yes. I know exactly how that feels and I am empathetic of his problem.
I of course gave him, with very stern warnings of not destroying it, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. My brother gave that to me and I loaned it to him.
“Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain”
That is one of the best books I ever read! It applies to all artistic endevours, it’s a plus for musicians, and all the Arts,
Huh. My pop has a copy of that book, that apparently belonged to his mother, something of an artist in her own right. I should give it a read…
You Should, you will learn about how your brain works if nothing else.
+1 for DotRSotB. Excellent book
I have taken classes (multiple places I’ve lived from adult community ed. Sometimes called adult ed, sometimes called community ed, sometimes called continuing ed, sometimes parks and rec. Outdoor classes are back, so you might try searching any of those. Usually 4-6 weekly or twice per week classes.
Thank you ladies!
https://continuingeducation.unlv.edu/programs/drawing-painting
https://www.thekingartstudio.com/
Other places might be city parks & rec program or art museums or art supply stores. All of those often offer classes.
I used to teach at a local nonprofit art center. I also taught at a gallery or two. The quality depends on the teacher but there should be something in your community where you can get started.
https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/rick-moran/2021/10/10/southwest-cancels-1800-flights-is-there-a-sickout-over-the-vaccine-mandate-n1522911
Any Glibs have any insight on this?
Just what I posted this morning, it’s just begun,
I believe it’s real. The Points Guy wrote about something similar happening at American Airlines.
No word from my ATC buddies…usually when they work to policy or slowdown they don’t advertise it.
Any word about pilots? I’m hearing the union believes any vaccination requirement has to be negotiated.
Not sure with the pilots.
Our union, the technical side, hasn’t pushed out anything official yet but the Air Traffic Control union (NATCA) said you have to do it.
Related: https://twitchy.com/samj-3930/2021/10/10/gosh-it-looks-like-southwest-airlines-may-have-tried-to-cover-up-the-massive-anti-mandate-sickout-that-impacted-1000-flights/
So wouldn’t that be fraud, if they are denying refunds?
While it will take time, a quick FOIA if there were military and or weather that caused the delays. Still though, the reported ATC staffing issue was at an ARTCC which handles the overflights and doesn’t handle the terminal environments, makes me question some of these.
Are they denying refunds? Recourse is governed by their Contract of Carriage and DOT rules.
News-blurb before football just mentioned it. Guess it can’t be covered up any longer.
It’s apparently not a pilot sick-out, unfortunately.
No but it allows the airlines to point to ATC and ATC to point at the airlines while knowing the story won’t get out. When all else fails, blame weather and military operations. When the weather is shown not to be a factor, continue to blame military operations.
Why would the union who is suing over vax mandates help cover up a pilot walkout due to vax mandates?
Because they want to protect their employees? “Aint us that’s doing it”. Its a PR release.
Two thoughts for you. One, why aren’t other airlines having the same problems in the same locations? Two, the union denying a work stoppage doesn’t mean it isn’t a work stoppage.
That was my thought.
1. I don’t know
2. Sure, it’s possible, but this union is suing to stop the vax mandate. To have a sick-out because of the vax mandate and not own it seems odd, doesn’t it?
I don’t know the fine points of labor law. It could be an illegal work stoppage.
ATC have more power than most federal employees.
If most ATC employees refused to work, all air traffic would halt immediately. you cant train new employees overnight. Plus, I bet its a job with a bunch of OJT after your formal training.
Reagan knew this in the 1980s which is why he violated the constitution and order ATC back to work.
This is true. During ‘shutdowns’, AT works to policy (managers will call it malicious compliance) and commercial aircraft will fly full routes, no shortcuts, etc. We just recently saw OJT kick back up with new hires. New hires that were picked up in March of 2020.
Most just need to check out on a single position, but that is no short task. Once they get their simulator/lab time, then its sitting as an assist on live traffic. So yeah, its no quick hire and get them going. Even if they bring in the guard or active duty, they don’t know each location’s air space.
Similar to my world, working on the equipment. It takes us typically, 1-3 years to get trained up on equipment that we become responsible for. In my workcenter, we don’t have assigned equipment, so every tech gets fully trained. Three major pieces, each take 6 weeks of training in OKC, then another 2 months or so of OJT and then a performance exam to become qualified/certified.
Since you have to be granted certification to legally say the equipment can be used to separate aircraft, can’t just bring in the military for that either. I guess you could…but it would be cutting a shit ton of read tape and large legal implications.
Thanks. If they ever do that with rookies or military…please let us know, so I wont fly.
I’m also curious what they think the Guard ATC’s day jobs are….
.they aren’t worried about their guard employees. I’ve been down a tech cause Oregon keeps extending his activation. FAA shrugs, NatG. Says oh well.
Did they send that tech to work the NY hospitals? Hahaha.
I cant wait for enlistments into Nat guard drop off because its not the weekend warrior duty it used to be.
Goes to show how politicians dont give a shit about the military. The politicians think there are endless nat guard personnel to backfill all these roles the soiled are being fired from.
There is a reason that military units have extra personnel to cover injuries, training, TAD, etc losses.
I think all of the 1 weekend a month/2 weeks a year is either gone or the scales have fallen from their eyes.
Not sure if it’s gone to the point of the NGB’s wet dream of planned year long deployments every 4-5 years. As if you could actually build a civilian career with that sort of regular disruption. Totally illogical and stupid.
Or the now late Odierno’s dream of two months annual training.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/20/USAR.OneWeekendMyAss.jpg
To #2. When our local ATC “had a stroke” the union and FAA both came out and said “Air traffic controllers are professional blah blah blah”
Note: it wasn’t a stroke and both the union and FAA knew it but to save face they put out a positive PR message.
1. Different operations model and lack of excess capacity to deal with problems, small issues continue to snowball would be my guess.
Another suggestion I’ve seen is individuals using up their sick time before they get the anticipated boot or forced retirement.
Looks at sick leave balance…I could take off 6 months…hmm now to find a doctor
That’s plausible.
?♂️
On a quieter not, Spirit canceled our teen’s flight too out of Vegas to Cali. Very odd cancellation.
short hop cancelled? that is odd,
Would make sense if the airframe was making its way from back east…and they couldn’t get the flight out of Florida or surrounding areas on time.
I have to take a flight soon and bought tickets on Southwest. I will keep y’ll updated if I get cancelled or change somehow.
@ Hype, send that beer to the Glib fund, I think they like Cash,
Done.
AOL?
LOL!
Not knocking him on this. He called it out, found wanting and owned up to it. Cheers to Hype!
I was poking fun at him for using AOL.
*hides AOL account* I knew that!
Burner account, don’t you even Subversive?
Why not? no one would even remember they even exist, the ultimate burner account.
What’s funny about AOL?
It’s what the CIA uses to blend in…
What? Does my Juno account mean nothing?!?!
Juno IS a CIA op, don’t you even tin foil anymore?
I didn’t know it still existed. Next time a get a free CD in the mail I’ll try it again.

Haha! Yup, same here.

When I was a wee lad, I used to listen to my mom and dad’s album collection. This was one of my favorite songs.
Nothing. I take great pride in having an email account older than my subordinates. When the whippersnappers get uppity I can berate them with “I have an email account older than you!”
LOL, i was Keed, but a great gesture,
Huzzah!

Yes he is, a man of Honor, really,
Ha! You are a solid dude.

Honestly, because when hockey practice was, I was listening to Claremont Colleges station? They would run a punk show at that time. I cannot remember their call sign.
88.7 KSPC Claremont, you can find it on Tune in Radio, and probably others, the Best College station in the World!
That’s the station you were asking aboot,
I started istening at 16, and still listen to this day,
Thanks Yusef! That is it. Raw punk late night/early morning was perfect for hockey.

So we told the IRS do not send the “child tax credit” checks and yet, while reviewing my bank account, they deposited monies in an account I haven’t used for 10+ years in terms of what I have used for tax purposes. WTF?
They did that to a stim check last year, if I wasn’t paranoid, I would have missed it,
Ha!
1. We got the stim deposit for 2 children the first month. Then XX turned 18. We got the stim deposit for 1 child the next month. They’re on top of SOME things.
2. Husband put do not send stim deposit on his w4. So they sent ME a paper check.
Yep. Wife got 3 paper checks for teen#2, I apparently got a deposit for teen#1 and too old to get teen#3. At this point, they are just putting money in peoples banks.
I have been put in touch with an NGO that works with people like me to stay in their homes and not become homeless, an admirable way to do things instead of saving homeless people, until my back is repaired, i’m kinda fucked.
They’re not putting money in mine. ☹️
I’d like one of those $5M/day for doing squat border wall construction contracts. I’ll take a single day of it, please.
Paper? of course, at least you got it, I know people that never saw a dime,
The IRS claims that they processed my amended return in May. 5 months later I’m still waiting for my refund.
These are the people that statists want to rule us.
I mailed my return sometime in May and got my refund in Sept. My son mailed his in April and is still waiting for his refund.
Did he learn his lesson to always pay taxes when due rather than overpay througout the year and need a refund?
I have prided myself in never giving the IRS an interest free loan.
My mother’s last year was stuck in “did not send the exact right paperwork” hell because of my dad’s death, but did anyone bother to contact her about the form? No. It just sat there. For months. They’d only say “it’s in process”. Then finally she contacted the Taxpayer Advocate Dept to figure out what happened and it still took months to resolve.
Whenever I bring up the dismal failure of most existing government agencies, they usually blame “Republicans who won’t give them the funding they need”. This can be said in reference to a department whose funding has gone nowhere but up for several decades. But it’s always the answer – more funding.
2 years ago I would say…good luck in court!

Well, it’s not the rain they’re dodging.
IMO, there shouldn’t be any kind of weather delays in football.
Yeah, lightning. Same in soccer. I’ve always thought that was a bit over-precautious. When has a lightning bolt ever struck in the middle of a game field? Or the stands?
1. “Geha Field”. WTF?
2. When are they going to ban the tomahawk chop already? I mean come on. So racist.
1. GEHA Field ????? at Arrowhead. Stupid, lame attempt to sell naming rights on a stadium that really can never be renamed.
2. You can the chop away from the fans, but you can’t take the fans from the chop. They ain’t getting rid of it.

“Southwest cancels some flights out of McCarran, cites weather”
First…good on the editor to not update the airport name to Harry Reid Int’l. Second, people can get the weather and uh…ain’t much going on around the country that warrants weather delays.
Local news is spinning it as a “network outage”.
Southwest, from Vegas, and they cite weather? It’s Right in the name FFS!
We have plenty of ground delays cause of the weather here..but this isn’t the time of year. Also, because numbers are crunched, flights would be delayed because of weather back east or something, but not canceled unless its a hurricane or huge ice/snow storm. Even t-storms get just a delay, not a cancelation.
Hobbit – news stories like you heard, along with what others are reporting only means one thing: Narrowing down a narrative to explain it all away other than what it could possibly be.
You’re kidding.
I wish I were….like I said, local news has stuck to McCarran and hasn’t changed it in their reporting.

Glibfitters walk, run, hike, bicycle, jump rope, masturbate, and skateboard
Rowing. You forgot rowing. Me (regularly), RC Dean (irregularly?), Sloper (tries to explode his heart now and then), some others, I think.
Back on my every-two-days schedule, did an hour and change today during the somewhat boring F1 race.
Weight is stable enough that I’m going to bite the bullet and get rid of a few suits – tailoring them down would cost more than they’re really worth. A good problem to have, I suppose.
Sorry. I knew I forgot something.
Here’s a little* something for Tres:
Body positivity does not promote obesity – I’m a size 20 and exercise regularly
*well, not really “little”
She is not even close to a size 20.
Exactly my thoughts. Holy cow.
It might help all this “body image” crap if they’d be honest about the actual height snd weight and measurements. Otherwise they are perpetuating distorted self images of women and girls.
Mrs. Q typically wears an S for yoga pants. She discovered today that she has to wear an XS; not because she shrank or lost weight. No, they decided to recalibrate such that XS is now XXS, S is XS and so on. Another couple of years and the sizes will be 5XS to S.
Ah, ye olde vanity sizing.
Over? Under? I’m really not into sizes but Really big is descriptive enough
i like Squishy, but she’s just not good, a pretty face at most, Blech,
Just cause you *can* squeeze into a swimsuit that shows all your cellulite doesn’t mean you *should*.
Likely looking at 32/34.
Yeah I don’t know sizes at all but one look at that trunk and I was like, oh come on.
Size 18/20 is pleasantly chunky, just north of thicc.
Argh, whatever happened to measurements? Speaking as someone willing to be weighed for aeronautical purposes, as long my weight isn’t announced or printed.
It’s okay when the woman is below a certain age. After 35 to 40, not so much. Gravity and time are unforgiving tyrants.
Didn’t 14 used to be where “plus” sizes started?
And the article specifies a “UK size 20”. My 3.7 seconds of research tells me that in US sizes, that is a 16! Maybe one on each leg.
I was ready for bed. Not now, won’t be able sleep after viewing Miss Invisibility Disability. I don’t know what the numbers are but they are really big.
Thanks, JFP,

What’s your daily anxiolytic (under-understood term)?
Aripiprazole, aka Abilify. All my head meds are very low dose. Once I had to see a neurologist and she said, “These doses are so low you may as well not be taking them.” Well, doc lady, they work for me and I’m not here for my mental illnesses.
I thought that was a mood stabilizer. Tomayto.
I think of you every time I take Bronkaid (bid?).
I’m surprised you have any time to spare here.
Bronkaid changed is formulation and stopped working for me. I’m glad it still works for you.
Anxiolytic is an anti-anxiety med.
As for time to be here, I just don’t do housework.
I should also mention that because I am a writer, I do not want my depression totally alleviated. I am hypomanic and my antidepressant dosage is meant to keep me productive. When I am happy, I don’t write. The Abilify is what has made the most difference in my life.
Yah, I like your eccentricity.

Lucyyy? Splain!
Lucy, lemme introduce you to Ray Guy.
To provide some context to the opposite of Glibfit.
My Father is 86 years old and has mostly gone his 40+ life without ever exercising. No COVID vax. Fell and broke his back 20 years ago and is still walking. Had cancer and survived. No substantial dementia.
My Mother is 83 years old and mainly exercised by walking and swimming. COVID vax. has had a few minor strokes but bounced back to probably 90% of speech and cognitive ability.
I think exercise of some sort helps most people with good quality of life but genes or something else are at play too.
My guess was always genes/not genes 50/50.
I went to Darien Lake once – Buffalo area theme park – and I remember standing in line at the water slides behind a family with the dad and two teenaged sons. Each one was more god-like than the last; I thought, wow, gene lottery.
My family has some interesting gene additions which somehow made us good survivors and desirable mates.

Merry Halloween, Mister straffinrun
My past two runs have been interfered with by having to hightail it home early because I have to poop (due to my work schedule, I frequently run late at night when there’s no public bathroom available). I know it’s funny on one level, but on another level it’s annoying because it’s interfering with my fitness goals. I have to stop and walk with my buttcheeks clenched so I don’t poop myself, then the urge will subside and I’ll run for a couple blocks.
I had a bad fitness month (drank to much) but hopefully this week I lay off the booze a bit.
I dislike running but am about to go on my morning walk. It aint as nice since it got cold, but not that cold yet.
Had a new coffee this morning. Not bad. From some German hipsters or other

Im seeing some signs that the supply and labor accordion effect is impacting grocery, fast food, and restaurants in Metro Atlanta area.
-Everyone is aware of computer chip supply problems which is impacting new car inventories.
-Noticed many fast food places have closed dine-in because of labor issues. These places have been open dine-in for 12-14 months.
-Restaurants are adjusting menus with higher prices and cannot offer regular items because of supply shortages.
My Publix is out of gatorade type sports drinks until 2022 and other items are having 4-6 week supply delays. Then people buy all items.
-A friend was told by their water company that meters will be estimated because of labor problems with contract meter readers.
Certainly feels like something really bad is about to happen.
Agreed, maybe Taiwan, but more like a Black Swan,
Avatar checks out on this.
He’s right IMO, by years end at most, shit’s going down, what? I don’t know, but we are at the edge, Shit!
We haven’t had dine in for a year and still don’t due to staffing, 15$ an hour for anyone who shows up, paid daily,
it’s a bitch,
I saw something about mcdonalds offering signon /retention bonuses.
I think take out/drive thrus being open this past 18 months kept most Americans from reaching the line in the sand. If democrats push the economy into soviet era grocery shortages again and food places cant feed Americans, that might be the final straw.
I just dont see how y’all will feed yourselves since most Americans dont have farms, ranches, or gardens to make up shortages. I dont think el presidente biden tossing bread to the masses is going to work in the UsA like it does elsewhere.

OT: Can anyone think of a use for cassava flour? I’ve been adventuring into African cooking recently and tried to make some fufu out of it, but I didn’t much care for it (maybe I did it wrong, or maybe the best fufu isn’t made from flour; I dunno). All I found is recipes for gluten-free baked goods, which I’m not really interested in since I’m not gluten-intolerant.
Tortillas? Pizza bread…not sure what else you would be doing with it other than baked goods.
As for the fufu, shouldn’t it have been yucca (cassava) root and not flour? Attempted once in my cooking expeditions.
It’s definitely better with the actual root, but I couldn’t find it around here. And I saw a YouTube video of an actual Nigerian person showing how to make it from cassava flour, so I thought it was totes legit – I mean, he had the accent and everything!
Im sure it can be done. Ill have to play with that. We always have it here…which is weird, we do not have a large community of Nigerian or Africans. But it is always available in the whitest community in Henderson.
Quick search where I saw tortillas and cake type baked goods made from it. Not exactly african food. It appears that its a staple in south america to millions.
Good luck.
Ethopians use a bread called injera or something to scoop their food. You can try cassava to make that bread and scoop your ethopian recipes.

So my one employee. Poor kid cannot advance in his career because every time we get him the very sparse training that is hamstringed by COVID protocols, he gets partly through a class and then is reactivated to his unit.
My job as a manager is to request his drill schedule for the year so I can direct my resources around it. Right now, I cannot do anything because he is constantly called back. After 19 months, only training he has received is what we cross-walked from the military and some online/blackboard classes. No equipment because they require lab time in OKC.
I just don’t understand that thinking. If someone wants to essentially full time military, they can either go active duty or pick up what used to be ADSW or similar. Treating them like they can be called up any time and all the time is a good way to push them out entirely. I imagine you employee, even with a supportive employer, is thinking hard about their next ETS date. For someone who doesn’t have that, that’s even more pressure.

Clinging to the need to honor Columbus goes beyond venerating one person. It also means keeping faith with a Eurocentric view of the world that exalts white male explorers who “discovered” continents that were inhabited by “uncivilized” barbarians.
Yeah, okay. Absent that Eurocentric culture you’d still be in a position to lie around and excrete this nonsense.
