- You should have bought the Forever post card stamps. -- nm - Spawn Apr 22, 16:37

  - [deleted]
  - Now why did he get a sentence, or even arrested for that? -- nm - the liiolu with Apr 22, 15:42 3
    - He copped a plea. The original charges carried a much heftier sentence. -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) Apr 22, 15:44 2
      - Still why was he arrested for that? Yeah, it was stupid, but not really criminal. -- nm - the liiolu with Apr 22, 15:53 1
        
        Clearly, prosecutors (and politicians) disagreed. -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) Apr 22, 16:02

- [deleted] 15

        dou you use FF with Xmarks? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 22, 15:54

LYC: I have no idea if my LYC posts are entertaining enough for Amy - con_carne Apr 22, 14:00 6
- I'm always tempted to use IKYDK but don't want to presume. Usually when I'm about to post another irrelevant flashback :) - MojaveMeg Apr 22, 14:53
- I'm fairly sure mine are not. But I generally like everyone else's. -- nm - mara Apr 22, 14:02
- maybe we need a rating system. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 14:00 3
  - I don't care / I care / I care! / I care!! / I care !!! -- nm - Roger More Apr 22, 14:15
  - I am being tongue-in-cheek here. Personally, I like the understatedness of these posts. - con_carne Apr 22, 14:08 1
    - I usually enjoy them a lot too. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 14:09
Since I am not around a lot..is there anyone left here that is a true fitness expert that could maybe answer a question about enhancing muscle - Capstern Apr 22, 13:50 32
- Muscle recovery for bicyclists - the liiolu with Apr 22, 15:36 1
  - And the info towards the bottom here. -- (link) - the liiolu with Apr 22, 15:39
- I'm no expert, but stretching post workout, and tons of water helps me. -- nm - MDH Apr 22, 14:02 1
  - I put details of what I do below - and I do stretch I left that out -- nm - Capstern Apr 22, 14:04
- Like with all muscles, just rubbing it a lot isn't going to make it any bigger. -- nm - nubby Apr 22, 13:56 2
  - but you keep trying any way right? -- nm - Capstern Apr 22, 14:03 1
    - Of course. -- nm - nubby Apr 22, 14:05
- ceregon, maybe? He knows people and often trains with them. -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) Apr 22, 13:51 2
  - The stuff they do is really hardcore. Several of them use steroids to help their bodies withstand the training. - ceregon Apr 22, 14:00 1
    - see my post one step down -- nm - Capstern Apr 22, 14:03
- groiny knows quite a lot. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 13:51 21
  - I know a lot about "enhancing muscle" -- nm - groiny si Apr 22, 14:31
  - Well will post the question and see if they see it - Capstern Apr 22, 14:02 19
    - I'd say you need some more fresh fruits and veggies. and more variety of them. -- nm - the liiolu with Apr 22, 15:28
    - Chocolate milk is good, but it's probably not enough alone. More protein with it immediately after. Eat some carbs before. - pmb Apr 22, 14:14 3
      - this is the latest advice I have heard ... carbs before, protein after. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 14:21
      - I eat a banana after the cardio or I get horrific leg cramps in my sleep. And I do eat one of my 4-5oz "meals" after -- nm - Capstern Apr 22, 14:16 1
        
        there are other (better) sources of potassium. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 14:21
    - I wouldn't over do it. ~5 pounds per week weight loss is already kind of much. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 22, 14:14 2
      - My body is weird since the GB - i will go 7 in a week then 2 - it kind of does what it wants... - Capstern Apr 22, 14:17 1
        
        they call this CKD, I think. cyclic ketogenic. supposed to work well. but you are supposed to do weights with it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 14:23
    - There is such a thing as over training. It takes time to recover, and the older you get the longer it takes. - ceregon Apr 22, 14:14 1
      - I will try to take in more...hard as my super small stomach can only take so much at a time -- nm - Capstern Apr 22, 14:19
    - eat your spinach (no, seriously.) -- nm - stewie Apr 22, 14:10
    - [deleted] 4
      - yeah more about recovery. I have large muscles already and not trying to build at this time. - Capstern Apr 22, 14:20 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        he's doing an hour and a half a day. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 14:24
        
        I wouldn't base your schedule on marathoners. Have you talked to a trainer? - loosilu Apr 22, 14:22
    - wow. that is hardcore and I don't think I understand why so many peppers. Anyway, there are certainly tons of supplements on the market - loosilu Apr 22, 14:05 2
      - I LOVE spice. and the peppers are sorta like eating a veggie :P - Capstern Apr 22, 14:22
      - oh yes, and also, I think it's just possible that your legs are tired because you're working out like a maniac. - loosilu Apr 22, 14:06
as a way to make money, having a fake baby shower and returning the gifts is pretty inefficient. - loosilu Apr 22, 13:48 7
- local guy put on a tear fest over his wife stranded in tsunami torn village after flying there one-way to look for survivors...thousands raised, big.. - z's replacement droid Apr 22, 13:55 2
  - it sucks that people take advantage of disasters for that bullshit. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 13:57 1
    - the fund raiser went on anyway, only the money went to the Red Cross -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 22, 14:52
- I have to agree. I've never heard of the fake-pregnancy-to-get-baby-stuff, but it really just seems mentally unhinged to me. -- nm - mara Apr 22, 13:52 3
  - Perhaps that is why the judge in the case had the woman psych evaled. It's much more scary that she is actually pregnant now. -- nm - Amy Apr 22, 13:57 1
    - I wonder if she'll have another shower. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 13:58
  - it's like twisted Munchausen or something. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 13:53
Note to BBC News: I'm not reading your site again until that "Naked Gym" story on the sidebar rolls away. -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) Apr 22, 13:48 7
- "A teacher has already been in touch to offer naked yoga classes." -- nm - nubby Apr 22, 13:55 4
  - I thought naked yoga was very exciting until I discovered that it seems to appeal largely to men. -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) Apr 22, 14:02
  - OMG, my aunt does naked yoga. My mom was bitching about it yet again because they are going to vegas next week. -- nm - Amy Apr 22, 13:57 2
    - Naked yoga is real? -- nm - lileve Apr 22, 14:00 1
      - Fo realz, yo. -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) Apr 22, 14:12
- omg, who would want to use those machines? -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 13:51 1
