Erika- Im sorry hun- Im glad you go train , but think of it this way!.. Mabye the crampy -ouchy -grumpies would be SO much worst ifyou didnt go??
I did BB yesterday, knowing I would pay teh price- I wa ssicker last night and most of todayt thanm I had been for 2 days. Oh well!

Lynn- Cool!.. One of my Masters trained with Chuck Norris (for some time, tho I have never had teh guts to ask him if his karate BB was From him... I try to be real quiet when he' s relaying the rare story). I think that if your CEO can relate to you like that, its gotta be a positive thing! Must be hard not to use as a salary negotiation tool! " Dude... is it worth me taking you down in front of teh board? 'Cuase you know I can.." LOL Just klidding!
My hubby is not only glad I can take care of myself, but him also!
I wonder how many of us really dont see much in teh way of those stereotypes?

herrrrm.... "floating hostilities"?... I get 'floaters' in my eyesight once in a while, they never go after me ,however.. even eyelashes that *seem* alil aggressive- do you think teh 'floaters ' put them up to it? Wow, I always get something to ponder on in here....

<blush> Thanks! That was the only time Sifu has ever commented on anybody's person (except his daughters, who he absolutely dotes on). "H" and I ended up having a few fairly long friendly talks, after which I realized that he wasn't going to change anytime soon. As much as I'm glad that he started training more with the strong young thangs, it was really interesting and sort of sad to watch him self destruct. People who end up coming to our dojo for reasons other then personal/spiritual development tend to lose interest and stop coming. He stayed around much longer then I thought he would (better part of two years) and I watched as he doggedly tried to get his BB. He's the only one that I've ever known to take the test and not get the belt. A good lesson to me in arrogance and resisting the temptation to only work on the things that I'm already good at. Ah well, I hope he's found some other place to train that better suits his goals.

I've only had boobstep done on me by accident, but DAMN! I just try to wear the tightest sports bra that I can find. The other day I was bra shopping and saw some sports bras that had underwires. All I could think of was how much they would hurt, and why on earth would I want to make them bigger when I'm working out?? I'm certainly not above making the best use of my assets, but good lord on a bicycle! Leave the underwires for other kinds of training.
