I've learned, through karate, that I'm pretty flexible. At least when the fat doesn't get in my way.

I also get the need to repeat moves a bunch of times until muscle memory kicks in. My main issue is having trouble translating a move I've learned "right handed" to doing it left handed. It is like I'm learning something completely new.

If you fall into a black hole, your body will be stretched to several miles long before it disintegrates.

The gravitational forces at the event horizon make most yoga poses impractical.

Also, back on the salad discussion- I discovered why the new salads do not fill me up-- they are only 180 calories!!! (Weirdly, they are also not listed on the healthy list).

That's definitely not a meal!

I need to give up on consciously processing the commands and learn them by moving in the pattern enough times that the non-verbal part of my mind picks it up.

I hear ya. My skating coach just this week told me to "stop thinking" and just do mohawk turns. He says my body now knows how to do them and my brain is just getting in the way and I have to ignore it.

Sophia, I think it may just be what your library purchases, though I don't know what you read. My library has lots, but it's often already checked out!

Lee, I believe that staying home would have been the smart option. . . if only I had realized before I left everything that I forgot.

Staying home is often the smart thing to do; it's rarely the possible or practical thing to do.

Yep, so I'm laid up another day. I thought things were getting better last night, but I suspect I just tried to do to much and aggravated things further. I'm actually having more trouble walking today. I swear I'd go to the doctor if I could get across the room in less than 5 minutes.

My sister is giving my mother advice from someone who beat cancer through diet, and my every alarm is going off, and I'm not sure what to say or do that won't anger people.
