    I disagree Fidel... While being in shape will be an advantage, obviously, tenacity and determination will surpass the gym monkey. Life skills, and life strength outweigh, gym muscles. imo!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.

    I'd beg to differ, respectfully. A combination of good physical conditioning and mental state would be a balance, rather than a lopsided scale one way or the other.

    I'm trying to get my energy back after being in the hospital bed for 5 days. I got suckered into doing a solar seminar in Cookville, TN tomorrow evening, so I got out today and drove to my solar go to guy, picked up some stuff...enough of that. But for lunch I stopped at KFC, ordered the 3 piece strip lunch. I ate the chicken, ate 1/3 of the mashed taters, passed up on the bisquit and the cookie. I have NEVER not eaten the bisquit. EVER!!! And by the way, did I mention, I just met a lovely, kind woman. Owns her own business, 2 actually.

    she owns 2 bakery's damnit.

    Tend to agree with you. Being gassed after some exertion, or just some plain old work, limits your options to deal with various bad situations.

    I lean too much to cardio and not enough strength work. Need to achieve a better overall balance.

    Owns two bakeries that is great. When she checks up on you all you have to do it go to the other bakery. If she were to open a third then you could just play the shell game and she might not catch on. Of course it will probably end up with a coronary.

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.

    My back has finally healed to the point that I can do sit-ups without screaming in pain. I'm excited!

    Angry, or calm?
    Just black and white words on a screen.
    Not like a conversation in person, with facial expressions, body language, tone of voice.

    Still, we here pretty much slide along without issues.
    Imagine how well we could get along in person.

    Or, we would just think each other is a bunch of assholes
