We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
1:15 In those days Peter stood up among the believers (together the crowd numbered about one hundred twenty persons) and said,
1:16 "Friends, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through David foretold concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus --
1:17 for he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry."
1:21 So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
1:22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us--one of these must become a witness with us to his resurrection."
1:23 So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias.
1:24 Then they prayed and said, "Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which one of these two you have chosen
1:25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place."
1:26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles.
It is enjoyable and satisfying to do even if your greedy wallet screams in pain.
Suggestions: Replace all bad wood and stone. Get house painted expertly (costs more). Re-point your chimneys. Install a new gas furnace. Get a lawn service. Get new outdoor lighting. Replace and expand outdoor stone seating or decking, and throw in a nice stone outdoor fireplace with a pizza oven.
Those things are good starters for getting rid of money:Middle English: from Old French moneie, from Latin moneta ‘mint, money’, originally a title of the goddess Juno, in whose temple in Rome money was minted.
I think it does help me with weight-lifting. Could be just an effect of imagination or suggestion. Anyway, it can't hurt. I take a dose an hour before lifting.
The idea is that it can help you somewhat over-stress muscle. That's a good thing, because a goal of weights is to micro-damage muscle and then let it repair in better condition. I tend to work towards muscle-failure, or close. I wish I could say that I like it, but I do not. I'd rather read a book.
Why do I do heavy weights twice weekly? To try to avoid sarcopenia and osteoporosis. Plus to be appealing to my wife. Three times might be better, but I spend times on calisthenics too.
Creatine supplement makes no claims for aerobic exertion.
