The Doom Thread: Gloom, Despair, Agony

I never thought I would say this publicly... but look into Pilates, esp. what they call "mat workouts" (i.e. not using those machines. They hit the core really well, and the idea is to stimulate the muscles, not to tear them down. Really helps with my back, too. And it has to be pretty hot for me to break a sweat. I do those on Monday, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

I'll see if I can track down that quote where Landon Donovan said that he wishes he started doing Pilates earlier in his career.

 

My wife dumped $600 for 4x45min pilates classes/wk for 6 weeks special.

It's been great!

Me: since my couple of 25mile hike/jogs with friends doing 100milers, I've been sedentary and drinking way too much.

 

It won't. They're being told God needs their vote.

 

Even the messiah needs to take a Trump?

 

Okay last one I think

 

Dude, might as well schedule a colonoscopy at this point

 

I just bought a bunch of toilet paper if you have run out.

 

Ill sum it up this way (her life is her story so I won't break her anonymity): no matter how long you live in a country you didn't grow up in, there's always nuance and things you don't pick up on that leave you vulnerable to bad actors.

 

I drank way too much last night, so I pounded about a liter of liquid IV 3 times through the evening. I've been doing OK today.

 

So Russian operatives called in fake bomb threats on multiple Atlanta-area polling places that tilt strongly Democratic, that initially halted voting in those polling places, and now authorities are keeping those polling places open LATER tonight to make up for it? Got it.

Remember: it always gets worse before it gets worse.

 

I'm assuming that's on a scale of 1-5.

 

Mat pilates are great. I went to a daily class. Solved my back pain. I wish the instructor was still at my gym.

 

Saw a Knave like post on the dead bird app, crying about losing Indiana and Kentucky.

 

The doom is getting doomier, the despair, despairier and the agony, agonier.

Great job, everyone.

 

I'm feeling too sick to drink.
