3rd High Usage

You know Persidio I think it's like you said in a previous thread that it doesn't really matter about samples or comments or anything other than if people find a use for the filter. But thanks for thinking about it.

Well, the only way to find out if they might be useful to them is for them to see them being used. It's kind of hard to sell a new car just by saying it gets you from point A to point B and has 4 wheel drive and a built in computer navigation system

So I won't worry about you then~

Well I guess I'll head to bed too~ been getting sleepy over here.

Ron I'm going to miss you in here until your filters turn HU. I've enjoyed meeting you... you know that~

Nite Ron, Nite Foxxee

Sorry guys... was trying to see if I could come up with my own Snippet. Oh well, I'll try later

Nite Persidio

Thanks Ron, it's a good excuse to play with my art
Oh, lurkers abound, believe me! There are probably 5 times more that lurk then participate. I've see that in many a forums and newsgroups!

Congratulations? What did I do?

You started this idea you know, Ahimsa. You asked everyone one night to go take it into the GD forum, and that got me thinking it was probably a good idea. I'm not really big on sitting around and chatting, never liked talking on phones, still don't. But it would be nice to have a place you know you could go to let it all out if need be, other than just talking about our filters

Exactly.. and you sound like me in RL. I'm honestly a quiet person, I do love a good conversation, but I'm no chatterbox. For some reason I get the feeling everyone is going to read this and say to themselves "Yeah... rrriiighhhtt!" hehe.

Need to go to sleep before this keyboard smacks me in the face again!
Nite

Now that is strange because I will not chat on the telephone... only use the phone if I have to. I hate to be sterotypical in a comment but... most women have a phone glued to their ear. So it's weird but great to run into two others that don't chat on the phone.

(((I'll talk to my husband and Mother on the phone... that's it))).

In real life I stay to myself. I shy away from people... I'm very confident... I just shy away from people. Most people aren't worth knowing anyway, LOL. Sorry but it's true~

When people are chatting or having fun in a forum, it makes it easier for others to open up. Gives the forum a warmth and is important... we just need to find the right place to deliver our sunshine is all. Because warm and friendly posts are like a ray of sunlight~

Good Morning Everyone

Did I mention that two hours is a long time.

I think stretching *should* hurt and bending your knees is cheating. I am very limber but it didn't come without a lot of pain. Fortunately the pain is nothing like when I started - almost two years ago.

BTW have been meaning to tell you... (((I luvs fake orgasms)))

You get to work on that!

Here is my exorcise program:
Eat a bowl of noodles with four tablespoons of crushed red pepper and one tablespoon of black pepper – that will get the heart going, detoxifies the body and releases endorphins – and you’re going to need them for the next part. Then stretch like *hell* for two hours. Then take a hot bath. Sounds crazy but I bet it gets faster results than your plan.

I recommend this program even for beginners. Sure it does a lot of muscle damage but they grow back - young and tender.

LOL

Eat a bowl of noodles

Carbing up?

If you eat right before exercising (two hours of stretching is exercise) ... your stomach does not digest food when exercising from what I understand.

Now it's been a while since I've been into the hard core routines and diet regimen but I'll be glad to share with you some of what I know.

For detox... Vitamin E, C and selenium... Garlic is a natural detox too btw. Also a great detox is to sweat it out... body releases impurties thru the sweat glands.

To keep muscle cramps away... lots of water during the day and eat a bannana. The bananna has potassium which you lose during exercise and can cause cramping if you dont' have enough potassium... along with lactic acid build ups (sorry can't remember the tricks for this one.. been a long time since I've been into this heavily.

Also when I was working out I used to take Liquid Fish Oil (Omega 3's)... wheat germ and aminos. And 'no' junk food or high fat foods.

Curious if you take aminos? The natural breakdown of protiens.

LOL

Well results are not fast with exercise or stetching... slow and steady is the name of the game. Long term goals are best in this area. Those looking for fast results are likely to hurt themselves.

Endorphins are released when exercising. If you are looking for endorphin type moods ... find out and try to stay with foods that increase seratonion.

Music... can increase your mood too and the funny part about music is that when you exercise your heart will try to steady itself with the beat of the music... that's why Aerobic Instructors try to use tapes by 'BPM'... or 'beats per min'. True. Music also lifts the mood and endorphines... I call it music therapy,,, LOL.

Oh the bath,,, 'hydotherapy'. Great for the muscles but you should cool down prior to the bath.

LOL

Well I need to jump out of threads to get some things done. BBL

Quote
but I hate bananas. Blah! I rarely have cramping issues ....

(btw,, bannanas will curb your appetite naturally and apples will make you hungry)

Well you must be getting enough potassium and water then...

tomtatoes are good but for other reasons (they are an herb believe it or not, LOL).. you eat those?

Quote
Yes but definitely worth it.

use good form, eat right, don't push yourself past a point of saftey. gains are slow but worth it.

At this point in my life I'm ready not to have to work so hard at keeping in shape... ready to get fat and happy,, LOL. Guess I should start hiking up the old health kick trail again.

Quote
I am going to kick back and decompress from 100 straight days of FFing.

I hear ya. Was working so hard on this end making filters. 7 filters this weekend,,, up grades,, then a new filter on Monday and another upgrade. Yesterday, no filter work but I made graphics for others... and emailed Mom. Today... working on upgrading my Condensation filter (and will send that out to the library before going to bed tonight), being a bit social in the posts ( ) and emailing Mom (just sent her some more photos). I used friends filters on the photos.

I'm ready to decompress too! Sounds like a plan... looking for the decompression station on FF...

Quote
Which of your filters are you most proud of?

Abalone Designs... Didn't even have to think before answering... that is hands down my favorite filter. Again... will most likely never go HU. ((I hope so)).

Personally I think it should have been an editors pick... LOL.

Why they haven't ... have no idea!

haha

LOL

What's the matter with those people!

Maybe they don't know what an Abalone Shell is... oh well...

Quote
It has my personality written all over it

Same with Abalone Designs~

Going to post this,, then find my herb book to give you the tomato information. BRB

Going from memory it's an herb that preserves a youthful look. I've eaten them all my life... when people say they don't like tomato's they usually look old for their time... BRB with the info...

Oh.. I normally grow them every year.. not this year ... but yes.. lots and lots of tomatos.. have photos but they are on disc. I even dry them in the oven and mix with homegrown herbs .. the dried ones are great for stews... and if you put them in a glass or ceramic jar and seal (have to be completely dry first)... they will last for 3 to 6 months.

I have a real off-socks-knocking salsa that uses roasted tomatoes, garlic and jalapeños.

Now with cell phones men have them glued to their ears as well. Me, I make the calls I need to and make them fast. I have never really liked speaking out loud.

My sister sends me super large pics...not sure why. I don't have a digital so I don't know. Can't wait to see the photos. I'll check out Ron's threads.

Hi Ron~

What a great idea! Hadn't thought about a PDA for Mom~

Sorry I'm behind on posts today.. I'm behind on everything.

LOL Foxxee

Yep she was in here... we were in email till very late. She can't find her way back in here though... LOL

I don't think she has ever posted in a forum in her life... in fact this may have been the first forum she has been in (even though she didn't post).

Waving hi to everyone... sorry I've been so busy... I know everyone else has been super busy too~

Still have not found that darn herb book~

Ron, I think I'm going to try and get to sleep earlier tonight. It's 12:30 midnight here, must be in the moring hours there for you!?! You a night owl or insomniac or both? I'm both! Need sleep before I fall over...............
Hehe, Nite , and to the ladies if they show up again

My Mom likes to read my filter's comments.

I'll have to wave hi to your Mom next time I'm in your fitler comments...

You could have warned me Ron.. LOL... that way I can clean up my smilies and make sure I'm not using the dolls... specially the one that sits in the champagne glass...



About ready to post a Gallery Preview of my newest filter... just don't have all the preview pics done.

Quote
I got it set up! She loves her new PDA. She had been using a Palm but it did not have Outlook. The new one has Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint - she's in engineer heaven.

WOW!

So great that you are close enough to take care of those things for her. Did you ever get her lap top fixed?

Daddy came in to show off his new screwdriver and could not get away fast enough - he is not a big fan of computer conversations.

My Dad loves the computer games. Cars, aviation... that sort of thing. He's really good too! And Mom likes her email. That's the extent of their Internet hookup. Other then those two things, they really don't care for the net.
