Perhaps we could all benefit from a working out thread? Advice and what not?


You're all a bunch of potatoes and quite content to be so. A workout thread would be nothing more than buying a metaphorical treadmill you'll use for 2-7 weeks only to become something to hang your clothes on. You'd sell it but one day you plan to really get back in shape! HA!! A workout thread she says..

A friend of mine bought one for his wife, who wanted it.  Pretty expensive, with all sorts of gadgetry.  Not long after that, he asked me if I wanted it.

He brought it over, I did it for about two minutes and moved it to a room I don't use.  I finally gave it to my next door neighbor.  Haven't heard a thing about it since...

I think I'll stick with mountain biking and hiking.  All my roller hockey (this is California) and backpacking friends either moved away or got married off.  Chrissakes, since when does everyone disappear after they get married?

I used to like playing sports, but bad officiating makes it no fun.  Geez...

Pluto TV is great. Love the Rifftrax and the MST3K channels.

That long microphone was used so that the host could hold it under his arm and be able to use both hands.  Wireless lapel mics made them obsolete.
Merry Christmas

I feel so, so called out. LOL. I'll have you know nothing is hanging on my treadmill yet...lol

As for all the other goodies I just read a treasure trove to dive into. I too, noticed the lack of old cartoons. Lots of old sci-fi, movies, game shows but no cartoons. Weird.

Hi Walks At Night! How is Morg doing? It's Morg, right?

You've made my treadmill point - beautifully too!  For the record; I wasn't calling you a potato! I know you're very active with all that stiff you do out there. 
Married guys. I can't say that that happened to me. I have the only wife in the world that tells me to "have the guys over" or "call up the guys, go for a drink" ...  it's pretty good.  :)

Oh that is so sad about Morg. Thanks for letting me know. I was kidding about being called out. For years that machine has sat without me hardly ever using it. I liked your fitness tips though and think it's cool you are helping us all out. This has inspired me to get on the old girl after work and get to it!

So she seems to feel better when you're not around, or at least occupied and away from her. Hmm

I recommend getting a bike and riding it, more more fun.  All those people we see out riding - it's because they love it.

Anyone getting a bike, just make sure it 'fits' and feels comfortable riding, otherwise it'll end up just sitting somewhere too.

I actually have a bike I love and rode like crazy a few years back. I was thinking before the weather gets nasty here I need to do that more too. Thanks for the reminder. I rode a bit this summer and remembered why I loved it. Lots of people biking more now too since the pandemic.

Love the tips all. It's making me really want to get off of my lazy ass and get motivated. I feel better too when I exercise regularly, clears my head and just all around feels good.

Call me slow for not figuring this one out earlier...

Instead of spending $2.50 for empty spray bottles at Home Depot, I can go down to the dollar store, buy LA's Awesome products in similar quality bottles, even go as far as dumping the product out and having good spray bottles.

I tells ya' 🙄

Something else, they are better bottles. Better spray handles, thicker bottles...
Eh, nevermind...

We think alot, I am a fan of classic toons (60s to early 90s) not a lot of options there. There doesn't seem to be a lot of places for that, Boomerang pretty much the only place

But Pluto is pretty impressive for a free service, but not for cartoons or sports.

Other random things on my mind, with all the celebrities dying someone needs to protect Betty White at all costs!!!

Betty White leads me to remember that I discovered the Buzzr Channel when I got a digital antenna and I am hooked on Match Game. I missed out when it was first aired because I wasn’t born until 1975. I absolutely love Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly and of course Betty White.

work out thread?
i'm in my 60s and i still climb to the tops of trees.
