Why would you want that? The extra intensity I understand, but why the uncomfortable room?

On Saturday night I was so drunk I fell down and pissed my pants.

I would love it, I think. I like to take hour long walks when its really hot and sunny outside. My body is warmed up and loose from the get go.

Supposedly it's just better for you--the extra sweating allows your body to clear toxins more efficiently, including the lactic acid that your muscles naturally create when exercising. (Of course it's imperative that you replace that water during and afterwards.) Also, they make this claim that when the ambient temperature is close to 98.6 degrees, you don't have to waste energy maintaining your body temperature, and more can be directed on the mental/physical focus you're supposed to be achieving. That works if you're just stretching, but if you're really working out I would think your body has to work harder to keep you cool instead...? I dunno. I think maybe you just get an endorphin rush trying to keep yourself alive in the heat, and that's why people think they like it. :)

my yoga teacher says it's a gimmick.

:tux:

Look at Jason Donovan's mullet in the first frame: :)

it is teh awesome! In a redneck way...

I see a problem here.

The mullet is indeed a redneck accessory of the first order. But wouldn't the presence of the mullet prevent the neckal redness from forming properly? Will wanna-be rednecks be forced to visit tanning salons and pink-up their napes? Will a new wave of solaria be opened in Hicksvilles around the world? Will this be what drags the sluggish economy forward?

Is there anything we aren't allowed to talk about on the Cellar? That sucks that you backslid, I really hope you get better. I for one, would blame the job.

Funny thing, I actually heard from him last night, finally. He's doing better, finally! We're internet buddies (for the past 4yrs) so I don't know anyone in his RL, and I doubt they know of me. /shrug
I know of one person he still talks to from our old gaming days but I don't actually know how to contact this person, or if he would know more than I. Well for now, the issue is resolved, so I'm happy.

This week will be hot enough to cook a hog in a hamper! >phew!< :greenface

There's Halloween Stuff at the Dollar Store.

On our way back from dropping my daughter off at camp, I came this --><-- close to being involved in a spectacular crash at 70 MPH on a congested highway.

A truck had just lost its tread off a wheel, and that tread was stretching completely across my lane. The minivan two cars ahead of me swerved onto the shoulder to avoid it. The car in front of me was slower to react, and the driver did a little swerve to the left before hitting it, jerking the wheel back to the right and spinning around at 70 MPH before slamming rear end first into the cable guardrails. Meanwhile I was already slowing down and moving to the right, so I missed everything. I pulled off the highway, and we went back to check on the driver. She was perfectly fine. Not a scratch on her. But her car was probably totalled.

I think pulling over (and complete off the highway way into the grass) to check on her was the right thing to do, but it was dangerous. For a while, the tread was still in the road, and cars going 70 were swerving with little control around it and onto the shoulder closer to me than I wanted.

I've always hated the fact that trucks can get their tires retreaded just to save some money. That cheap tuck driver may have saved a few hundred over buying a new tire, but he almost killed several people, and he caused thousands of dollars in damage, all because he is cheap.

A federal law should be passed banning retreads. It will increase the cost of trucking, which will be passed along to the consumer, but I bet it would save society as a whole more money that it would cost. In 25 years of driving, this is the second time that I've witnessed a retread causing that kind of damage to other vehicles.

Last night, the accident kept replaying in my mind for a couple hours until I fell asleep. It was spectacular and scary.

eek! I'm glad everyone was ok.

You can't spend any time on the highway without seeing tread debris.
