- Wow. I wonder how many businesses weren't as astute as yours and sent the money. - CovingtonCat Jan 19, 15:54 4
  - Lots of companies out there looking for ways to save money means more skepticism with regard to strange payouts -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 16:00 3
    - I talk to people every day who are starting small businesses. I'm still amazed at how stupid many of them are (or unknowledgable to put it nicely). -- nm - CovingtonCat Jan 19, 16:13 2
      - Step 1, start business. Step 3, profit! -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 16:34 1

- I haven't even started going yet. -- nm - psilotum Jan 19, 17:14
- I haven't given up yet, so that's something. *shrug* -- nm - kelly Jan 19, 15:28
- I thought I would have seen some dropouts now...but they're still going strong. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 14:59

Re: Insoles. Good advice ... I'm hoping the new shoes I got will provide much of the support I need, but I might have to go for insoles anyway. - Beryllium Jan 19, 14:55 1
- Be sure to wear your sneakers around the house to break them in. -- nm - lileve Jan 19, 15:03
I'm ashamed to admit I had to look up how to spell crisscross. I kept wanting to write Kris Kross! -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 14:53 6
- nmbsmoothhobbitaction - Pippy Jan 19, 15:02

RE: FNL - Reagen Jan 19, 14:48 10
- just roll with it, I've seen all of season three and he has a great storyline -- nm - crash davis Jan 19, 14:49
- They seem to have rewritten a bit of history. I wonder if anyone that watched S3 on DTV can comment on whether that was a good thing long term? -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 14:49 8
  - yes it was, there were fewer WTF moments than in S2 -- nm - crash davis Jan 19, 14:50 7
    - I like how Peter Berg said in the Bill Simmons podcast - Reagen Jan 19, 14:52 6
      - Yeah, that did bother me that every key member of a state power team was sophomores. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 15:02 4
        
        well on that - Reagen Jan 19, 15:06 3
        
        S3, Ep1 spoils? - Will Hunting Jan 19, 15:09 2
        
        spoils - Reagen Jan 19, 15:10 1
        
        Okay...that makes a tad more sense. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 15:12
      - Yay! -- nm - nubby Jan 19, 14:54
SITWAP: On the way to the Inaugural Concert: Street preachers harangue the crowd at the Mall. -- (link) - TaurusII Jan 19, 14:48
What are you doing for National Handwriting Day this Friday? -- (link) - CovingtonCat Jan 19, 14:47 1
- Typing away on my keyboard, most likely. -- nm - TaurusII Jan 19, 14:48
Looks like the new sauce came out pretty well. Now I got to cook some pasta -- nm - CQ Jan 19, 14:42 1
- So nasty -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 14:46
LIR: Calgary, but they forgot the mountains. -- nm - TaurusII Jan 19, 14:41
"It lies in Alberta Province..." Who talks like that? -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 14:41 4
- people who dont know much probably. Like me. The most I know about Alberta, is that its the one territory that I always fail to defend in Risk. nm - Jovian Jan 19, 14:43
- and they took my idea of Uruguay. Damn them! -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 14:43
- Travel reporters in Los Angeles, apparently. -- nm - TaurusII Jan 19, 14:42 1
  - This is correct -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 14:43
I have a contrasting view with regards to running and the need for gyms - JD Jan 19, 14:39 16
- eh, I disagree. A weight program tailored for runners can help prevent injuries. and of course you know to stretch AFTER running. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 14:45 8
  - Yeah definitely stretch afterwards. I dunno about weights. - JD Jan 19, 14:49 2
    - I got this ad reading this post. Lifting weights has helped me greatly with my yoga. -- (link) - lileve Jan 19, 14:57
    - well, back when I was running, I *had* to do quads exercises to keep my knees from going out. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 14:53
  - The cooldown? I never did this. What's it for? -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 14:47 4
    - stretching is not the cooldown. Stretching lengthens your shortened muscles, helps remove lactic acid, and generally improves performance next time. - loosilu Jan 19, 14:52
    - It's to keep you from passing out from too abrupt a change from strenuous exercise to standing around. ;^) -- nm - TaurusII Jan 19, 14:49 2
      - yeah if you're heart drops to quick then you're in for some problems. The Cooldown helps prevent that. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 14:52
      - Kinda like cuddling? -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 14:52
- Gyms can be good for consistency because it's never bad weather, but I don't think lifting will do a lot if the goal is running a certain distance - Stewie Jan 19, 14:45 6
  - I'm a bit spoiled in that I can pretty much always run outside. - JD Jan 19, 14:58
  - the toothpicks that run marathons do indeed do leg lifting, not a ton granted but they do stuff to strengthen the muscles to prevent injury. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 14:50
  - genetic freaks, the lot of them -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 14:46
  - the toothpicks will never bulk up. that's their body type. Also, running can overstrengthen certain muscles, leaving you prone to injury. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 14:46 2
    - As one of those toothpicks, nothing seems to strengthen but then again I'm not one of those freaks either - JD Jan 19, 14:53
    - and that body type wins marathons -- nm - Stewie Jan 19, 14:50
ICYC: I wandered around the Mall this weekend and got pics of Inauguration prep. It's on my FB. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 14:32 3
- Hey, I "threw" you a piece of flair you might find amusing. If you don't have the flair app, check my profile to see it. -- nm - mara Jan 19, 14:55
- Wow, those photos are really good -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 14:37 1
  - thanks! -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 14:39
You know. We're gonna feel real silly when it turns out that CrankYaker is actually Spielberg -- (link) - oblique Jan 19, 14:31 [flickr] 2
- us? think how Cate Capshaw is gonna feel :) -- nm - peglegpete Jan 19, 14:41 1
  - Mrs CY might be a little surprised -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 19, 15:21
