I think Hilary had one (I think that's the correct name, the lady from Georgia that commuted to Tennessee) and she used it quite a bit and seemed happy with it! (edited to clarify the response is about the vibration plate for exercise)

I have great hiking boots for those rare times I agree to do a hike that's on loose terrain....they are so freaking heavy. Much prefer my hiking shoes or trail runners (not that I run). I do have twisty ankles so they are good for that but again, I swear each boot is 90 lbs.

This history there is amazing and so are your pictures! If I ever go, I'm taking the train, lol

Pilates bar, tell me about this? Is it one of those bungy-pole equipment I've seen or is it a Pilates+barre class? I did pure barre once at my heaviest and thought I was going to die. My two girlfriends who were more slender also thought they were going to die so I don't think it was just me, lol

I love them! But I don't think grim eats green foods

Something tells is that if you don't eat the cucumber, it's not bitter at all!

Amazing pictures!!

if you're worried about your Iron, make sure they are checking your ferritin, also watch for trends across all your results -- what's "normal" for us/you might be on a lower or higher end of a range but your personal variation is where they get alarmed. The preferring will help, my lowest ferritin was 11 but now it stays in the 30s. Good luck!

Look up adventures for solos; it's a group that does trips for people who want to travel (but their spouses don't) or solos but it's not a singles travel group. I've done two trips with them (7 day tall ship cruise and northern lights trip to Finland and Estonia) but one of my friends has done about 7. You meet interesting people in cool places.

Enjoy your day off and long weekend!

Good morning and yay for Friday!

Busy day ahead, 3.5 hour sales pitch that starts at 6 am my time and then back to back 30 minute meetings until I wrap up. I will be so ready to log off...I also think I need to do a presentation that's due tonight too but that might get done tomorrow early. I do have a fun weekend ahead, dinner and a concert tomorrow and a massage on Sunday, I will go to the correct place this time! I also thought about going to see a group I really like as they are doing a free concert tonight at a park across town but it's across town and I'm pretty sure I want to do anything after the work day ahead...but we will see.

QOTD - I don't know if I have a favorite, I don't really re-watch scary ones, once you know what's coming you know what's coming. My bestie and I were absolutely terrified by The Ring when we watched it though.
