This ALS ice bucket thing is the best wet tee shirt contest ever
My Tumblr is FERGUSON FERGUSON FERGUSON WHAT THE FUCK FERGUSON right now (and let's not even talk about FB where I actually had someone I knew twenty years ago piping up to talk about PROPER USE OF TEAR GAS and LAWSUITS*), so I really need LJ to be something else for me today.
* Here is his entire comment: If the police use tear gas improperly, then they are liable. If it used properly, the mother can be charged with child endangerment. There is a middle ground where the mother is not liable and the police used it properly as well. Because, you know, throwing tear gas into a non-violent crowd that has families and children can TOTALLY BE "proper use."
Nerdfitness has a good article on how to get over your fear of going to the gym. There's a link in the story that takes you to this piece on how to be a good spotter which I'm linking here as well because this is good information for long-time gym folks who might not be inclined to read that first piece.
I walked this morning, and met up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sherwood21 who volunteered to be a motivator for me. Thank you, bb! I got there right at 6am and it was so dark. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to do this. I don't relish walking around a dark track. Pffffff. It was pretty cloudy this morning, though, so provided Wednesday and Friday are clear, I'll be able to better judge lighting conditions for the next week or so.
Also, you guys, I have what would be an embarrassing confession to make except for the fact that ho ho ho don't you wish it was so easy to embarrass me. I bought a vibration platform. I know. Right? But I saw on someone's LJ that she'd bought one and that a friend of hers tried it and had near-immediate improvement with her digestion.
I started to read a bit about them and found studies show that vibration platforms can assist with the improvement of circulatory problems and bone density protection. Hm! Somckitterick offered to buy me one and it arrived last week and you guys it is so weird and strangely enjoyable. I haven't noticed any immediate improvements, but we all know I'm slow to change.
So y'all locals, if you're over at the house and want to stand on it for a while, lemme know. It's a hoot.

I would love to stand on your vibration platform some time.
