  • New Year’s Day Afternoon Links

    HA! Bet you thought we wouldn’t get to these today, eh? Well, WE DID! It took a few hours, coffee and some warm food….but at least one of us is in decent enough shape to post a few links. Mind you, that is probably the last effort of the day for me, other than pushing the TV remote buttons…

    • Sometimes when I think my job in the fondue mines is bad, I see something waaaay worse, and don’t mind it so much.
    • Anyone surprised that the re-commie-ing PRC would do bad things to Hong Kong?
    • Dang…there goes my next shoe purchase. Where will I go to get handmade shoes??
    • Bah, socialized medicine will stop this, no worries mate!

  • Spring 2018 Glib Fitness Challenge Signup

    We’re gonna try some participation from the peanut gallery for this one. I’m bringing an idea over from another online community. The idea is fairly simple. You sign up for one or more self-created fitness related goals in this thread. Then, starting February 1st and extending through April 15th, you do your best to meet your fitness goals. Each Friday, in the weekly GlibFit thread, we talk about how the week went, whether we met our goals, and whether we’re seeing progress.

    There’s nothing beyond that. The point is some moral support and some third-party accountability in a digestible 10-week time segment. Your goal can be anything health and fitness related. It can be dietary, exercise related, or whatever else you want. From experience, having something quantifiable is more motivating than having some vague, subjective goal.

    Here’s my goal:

    • 4 days per week of physical activity
    • 5 days per week of low-carb diet

  • 2018 Predictions – Open Post

    2018 Predictions – Open Post

    I will be the first to say, NEVER look to me to predict the future. So, take anything I say with a grain of salt, the size of the Rock of Gibraltar. But let us have your predictions (whimsical or serious) in this post….and remember, the internet is forever!

    Just a bit outside…

    Mine – We will see a bit of a market pull back, which will be heralded as the END OF TRUMPONOMICS! Within 6 weeks we will have recovered all of it, and then some. Bubbles will still inflate this year.

    The fundies in Saudi Arabia will strike back, the results will be an amazing amount of bloodshed that the world will mostly not know about. Iran will suck, and her young people will be really pissed off, but the regime goons will win again.

    No sportsball team I like will accomplish squat.

     

    Over to all of you.
