save the frogs

depends if your "friends" are all boring people who lead boring lives. one girl I met, I looked her up on facebook and discovered she did some art. she posted her artwork on her page. at least it was interesting. a lot of people are narcissists and expect you to view their pages of what they ate for breakfast. just ignore it. several people from the past have contacted me on my facebook, otherwise i don't use it much. forums like this are better for exchanging information. there is a thread with a clear topic and you read it if it interests you.

exactly. some people maybe spend too much time on facebook. and there is some narcissism. but if you use it properly, it's a useful platform. i've had several people from the past contact me. it's the best tool to get in contact with people you haven't seen in years and want to reconnect with.

there was a hotel i stayed at in pattaya where the guy had a baseball bat behind the reception desk. he's undoubtedly encountered many drunken unruly and dangerous tourists. you expect these people to smile all the time?

how many positive people have you met on here?

number 3. connect with people who have mojo on aseannow ... ha ha.

Pattaya has a Coq fighting ring!

I just did a search for Walking Street. When you zoom in, you don't see anything.

Yes, good point. There are some benefits to being a father in later years, which I might possibly do. Since you don't need to work as much (or at all), you can devote a lot of time to being with the child. Which is what they need the most.

seriously? a bit dramatic the terminology, no?

I would disrecommend canola oil. But I don't have the energy to debate everything.

a lot of kids dont understand anything about life. i know a guy who worked his butt off to provide a good life for his family and his teenage daughter is lippy. they're too young to appreciate it because they've haven't worked hard for 20 years.

why now? there weren't enough upper middle class consumers before in thailand? this is beautiful furniture, but not cheap. a lot of folks settle for mass market melamine.

Popeye is dead now.

that's impressive. also, how did you pull it off? it usually takes a lot of money and time to get re-training.

I read that magnesium regulates 200 functions in the body. Maybe one of the most important nutrients. I believe the claims that a lot of the olive oils are tainted with cheaper oils. So I stopped consuming it.

I think jogging is bad, but do what you want.

these guys are originally from a village in thailand

what else? for resistance training, I will start doing bodyweight squats at some point. without weights, it's much safer and less risk of injury, especially for older folks. and you can do as many reps you need until fatigue. again, i'm preaching to myself here. and always putting it off because it's hard work.

someone dying at 10 months old is something that cannot be explained by normal logic. it's beyond the scope of this thread. human beings generally are not supposed to die at 50 ... that's well below the normal life span. could be genetic issues, i suppose. I read by 2050 that 1 in 10 people will live to 100? not sure.

I got lazy with exercise and put on some weight. My pants are too tight. That's where I'm at. Also, the weight gain may be due to switching off keto and introducing a fair amount of fruit in the diet. So now I'm switching back to more keto-ish, with a bit of fruit but less than before. Fruit is high in carbs and I learned that if I need to burn them off. Watch that video I linked above. That guy does these freaky stretching exercise movements ... stretching + primal movements. I think this guy is a genius and I would like to try those at some point, but i'm not there yet. Still far away from my ideal exercise routine. Not a fan of jogging/running. Low intensity cardio is better. + Maybe some tennis once or twice a week. But I'm not anywhere near my ideal.

I think healthy fats like those found in cheese are needed by the body. I wonder if they even help prevent cognitive decline. It's the bad fats you need to limit - all cooking oils used in restaurants etc. I might start a thread on FATS one day.

yeah, good point

10 months old is the only aberration. all others are advanced ages. 50 is not an advanced age, unless you smoke or do sth really bad for the body.

there was an article once that ping pong helps fight off dementia ... because of quick movements? not sure if its true. this guy is doing incredible things with his body

bourdain had a lot of charm, to be sure. this guy ... he does do a fair bit of research, the history. etc ..
