"Football catch" is amazing.

Beach strategy -

Leave early

Bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel (egg everything if available) en route to beach

Arrive at beach, TANNING OIL

Headphones in for 30 minutes

Go in water until you've had enough, return and lay in sun to dry

Repeat, crushing beers and reapplying oil as needed

FOOTBALL CATCH

Leave as soon as the beach gets too crowded full of idiots

Spoken like someone who knows how to LONG ISLAND

Few things better than driving North on robert moses causeway or the wsp at like 1pm leaving and watching the miles of cars not moving after 6 hours of MORNIN BEACHIN

Just imagining their misery gives me so much joy

Early to the beach is the play if possible. Second Beach in Middletown RI is the goat new England beach, but it's a bit pricey to park. Parking attendants would show up around 7, so when we were poor HS kids our play was to wake up early and inevitably be in a race to get there before the attendants. If we had time we'd pick up some SOBEs on the way. Then sleep on the beach til whenever, wake up and it'd be starting to fill. Then beach shenanigans, then leave and have lunch at noon or 1 or whatever and have the whole day ahead of you.

I got your food strat as meh Mullen. Too heavy a breakfast. Should be light and then Italian grinders for lunch when you're done.

When you eat a bec w sp on an eeb a few times a week for most of your life it doesnt feel like a heavy breakfast

The body adapts

Yuppp. Then they double down by having to park 10 miles away when they actually get to the beach, set up shop way far from the water, and sit in horrific traffic on the way home. LOL early afternoon beach arrivers.


I flip that food strat, the breakfast keeps me full all morning, then I'll do a light lunch/snack midday and BBQ outside on my roof or go out for a big dinner.

Summer beach days truly the GOAT.

Doing a little airplane comfort shopping while in San Clemente:

Lots of reading to catch up on the FACK today.

I can't even remember the last novel I actually read, mainly just had a huge backlog of neurology and rehab books to get through. Plus some "persevering through adversity" bull**** by weakling losers like Marcus Aurelius (emo).

As such, I recommend Softwired as the best I've seen at explaining to non-idiot laypersons how we currently understand the brain works, and especially for how it applies to *normals* and the aging (becoming stupid) process. Brain science has been completely overhauled in the last decade, and this guy was one of the main revolutionaries and does want revenge on the community that branded him a witch for a few decades for believing in neuroplasticity.

Sadly, he does not describe the benefits of *reading faster* but that would probably solve all of your complaints about books.

I had a brain MRI 3 weeks ago. Haven't heard from the dr so I assume I'm fine. My wife just hopes they find a brain in there.

Typically no news is good news, yes. Radiologist would alert your doctor of anything alarming (too likely to get sued otherwise) including a big black space where a brain should be. You can always call the doctor and ask or just go by the facility and get a CD of the scan with the radiologist report on it, but they can be a little freaky to look at.

I always have them burn me a copy before we leave (no report on it, obv.) but I have the advantage of previous MRIs to compare it to and I know just what I'm looking at.

You guys have inspired me to get a library card but they are moving locations and will be closed for 3 weeks. Let me know when Netflix shuts down for 3 weeks.

This exchange with woody reminds me of when chillclown came out as a bigfoot believer.

Seen and heard the word transgender enough for awhile. Not sure whats so awesome about Syria they all want to go, idk.

Where is chill, ARC, nutshot, F60, Triumph, math et al?

(pretty sure I'm missing some)

Posting somewhere else on the internet I would guess. Internet posting is a lifestyle.

I always wonder how some people who post so much just disappear from the forums overnight.

Pretty sure Chad is just upset, c'mon back bro.

Don't be like ARC.

Man I always wish I had this trust fund TZers have long thought I have. What I do right now really has an amazing disparity between how cool I can make it sound when describing it to people and what the actual work itself entails.

Try working with ******s.

No that's not what I do currently.

Literally anyway.

If he wasnt like arc he wouldn't be Chad.

I thought ARC got a perma

I do work with some truly atrocious communicators, I'll put them on the same level. Some people I just don't understand how they are still alive, much less drawing a paycheck.
