One could also the only reason to be in shape is to get women. Once you already have one it's no longer a priority.
When you stop you die.

What if you've never started? Are you saying I'm really dead and don't even know it?
Yes, slowly transforming into an invertebrate. Can full jellyfish be far away?

Seriously, though, not exercising is a little like a slower version of a senior who takes a serious fall. Puts you on the path of doom.

I just find exercising to be so dull. I mean, I enjoy hiking and backpacking, so by default I get some exercise that way, but I don't pretend to do it because of that. I haven't been inside a gym since high school and don't intend to start anytime soon.

ETA - I'd rather die at 65 having lived life exactly the way I want to compared to living to 85 but doing it through eating boring healthy foods, not drinking or smoking and spending hours in the gym.

Private White VC in the rain in search of a Rye Manhattan. Figured the rain would keep the 20 -something’s inside. Wifey and I have decided the Brooks Brothers masks are ugly. They lose shape after a few washes and collect lint as well. Easy to breath through at least. Any recs on non-cloth masks?

Agree about the BB masks, they start out great, easy to breath in, then once washed, they loose their luster. I am trying out Hertling next. I’ll report back once they arrive.

I know what you mean but I’m a bit of a zealot. Both parents died very early. I’m actually a few months away from age where my dad died of his third heart attack from smoking, poor diet, and no exercise. Army also conditioned me to enjoy physical fitness so I do get preachy.

I agree on the having fun bit. Beer rules!

This is EXACTLY why I don't give a F! You hit the nail on the head!

They have surgery to fix those problems.

I am seriously considering this but more for my nipples. My 4 year old son does not have them and I want no nipples like him. Freaking useless nipples that stick out even when I was skinny. FML

Wow, what a gorgeous day after the early rain. Morning was like seeing Isaia at Needless Markup for full retail. Afternoon is like seeing the same Isaia on eBay for 90% off retail. :lol:

I go to the one at Friendship Heights on occasion. I have no idea how they stay in business. Their sportswear buys are horrendous. I assume that they have a concentrated client base that is willing to drop five, six figures in one visit.

I have no idea how any of those places in Friendship Heights stay open. Does anyone actually go to the Prada store?
