  1. agree could be both. this is the mental health thread so I will reiterate there are no short cuts for good mental health, even if an SSRI is working for you, the things you need working right are non-negotiable: (1) nutrition/supplements/calorie restriction, (2) exercise (sport, weight, intense cardio, moderate cardio), (3) sleep, (4) destress your life, (5) good relationships (not just sex with your wife but good relationships with friends, family etc), (6) be productive (work), (7) be in nature (fishing), and (8) focus on cognitive health (a lot of this stuff overlaps but if you live to be 95 you have to focus on cognitive health independently). so yeah, get your pump checked, but the rest of that stuff is not negotiable for the good life.
  2. that would destroy me on so many levels. hang in there. figure out the best way to make that drive and do it as much as you can. as for bad decisions, man we do the best we can then they get their turn. god knows we've done stupid shit too. ugh.
  3. PB is awesome and training so you can play better without injury is a perfect combo. good luck!
  4. You’re quite welcome. ours is now with my fishing guide I traded use for guided trips. I get $4000 worth of guided trips for letting him use it as his base in rockport. motorhome is *still* in the shop but inspection is upcoming so we should have it just in time for fall fishing season. I think we will take it on the road some this next few years too.
  5. All this talk about being conservative, if arch hits his wide open receivers - let’s just say the 6-7 passes we know of and flip to plays the Collins face mask and arch’s stupid sneak right when he shoulda snuck left and Texas wins 17-7, at least. I just don’t buy the game plan itself was an issue. fact is Texas is still on the cusp like Clemson, Georgia and Ohio state were before they went on championship runs. yes 4th and go for it was abysmal, and arch made youthful mistakes under nfl style defensive duress, but I do think *if* arch can learn quickly that this team can still win it all.
  6. First I hate it when hot straight women wear the lesbian flannel uniform, it’s so unfair. second, I rarely wear Texas gear anywhere except at a game or watching a game on tv, and I squat to pee but I can fight you so fuck the haters.
  7. Negs are dumb, I give 1 neg to 100 positive (excluding rage +1). Only reasons are tranny jokes - I’ll fucking fight you before I tattle tell and report - and opposing team trolls, that’s it. 200 negs given to 19,000 positive rep (various sorts). I’ve received 80 negs from the dregs of surly society. ignore is a beautiful feature.
  8. Goddammit I had “mother goose, you pussy” then second guessed myself. oh and I’ve added protein powder, creatine, glucosamine / chondroitin, and collagen peptides (powder) to my daily regimen to make sure my muscles and joints have what they need. 50+ is no joke, but you can still athlete the fuck out of sports and the gym if you go slooooow, listen to your body and care and feed it right.
  9. I was still playing tennis but after I finally got well after long Covid i wanted to get back into peak shape. I have a frame that makes push ups unbelievably hard and I’ve never successfully done a single pull up in my life, so I went a different route. One day at the gym per week for a month then two days then I hired a trainer and that took 2 months, so I started with a trainer in the third month. Inside those unsupervised gym days I started with one set of 10 light weight, I was curling 10 lbs per arm. I did like 90 lbs on the leg press. I did only one set. Full body and I did some basic core work like planks for 20 seconds per rep. I try to use dumbbells as much as possible. Machines isolate too much but I use a few especially lower body. I did curls, triceps, lat pulls, overhead press, chest press, row lift, leg press, leg curls, calf press, and all light weight, like “ goose you pussy” (top gun reference) level light weight. Second week I did two sets, third week 3 sets, 4th week added weight, fifth week added more, sixth week even more, you get it. Then by the ninth week I had some reasonable strength and then moved into let’s get this going. I was train wrecked exhausted the first 3 weeks maybe 4 I can’t remember. I was going to bed at 8pm. I was so sore. I think stretching, hot baths, lots of water and electrolytes, and plenty of protein matter. I devoured food I would eat so much food. But after about 4 months it leveled off and I started dialing it in. i was also walking some not enough and that’s a great active recovery for people our age, days off go get your 7000 steps. now I’m 200 lbs on leg press, 25 lbs each arm for curls, etc. pretty close to where I want my 3x10 weights to be. now I’ve added 2+ miles of sprint intervals on the stationary bike for heart, max oxygen capacity, and blood flow (organ and brain health). Usually 8 all out max sprints with zone 2 (easy) cardio in between. Max sprints mean you can’t talk when the sprint is done. And you get your heart rate to peak super quickly. These are so good for you and beat the shit out of 30+ minutes of zone 2 cardio. go slow, consistency is what matters. I’m 7 months into this after letting my early 40s peak fitness fade and I’m rolling and it’s awesome. Never ever let your lower back strain too much, stop immediately. listen to your body, feed it, give it the right care and nutrients and enjoy the process! and honestly, if you can find a sport to play that workouts help make you better it might stick more permanently. Ball sports have always been the only motivation that keeps the train going. you can do this, it’s so worth it.
  10. You’ll be fine I’m sure. Even if there is something to deal with. Cardiologist visits on the regular are a good thing, I’m set up now for an annual and got my baseline at 49. Made me feel a lot more comfortable.
  11. We need this guy…
  12. wha? that's not funny that's really really disturbing.
  13. but we are in year 4 of this nightmare, i'm done assuming he will fix it. so really it's the hopeful vs. the pessimists. and the pessimists have thrown their hands up and said, fuck it, just kick the FG. which I recognize is also a futile exercise.
