I have a BS in Psych, minor in Biology and I was Pre-Physical Therapy which is like being Pre-Med, which does nothing for you if you don't get into Med school or Physical Therapy school. It would of been another 4 years of school and a Masters degree, but I never got in after applying for 3 yrs, so I moved on.

I am totally content where I'm at and the money is just as good.

 

I was actually just kidding around

Less then perfect personality traits? Nope, im perfect


If ya think your stubborn, ya need to meet me. Im very hard to get mad, but pretty easy to get excited (like if someone cuts me off bad, ill throw them the finger and an f-bomb, then merrily keep on my way)

Im also a tad bit of a perfectionist. Most of the time id rather swing a fist to settle an arguement then talk about it.

Way to driven. Once I start something, good luck stopping me. I also like pushing buttons on people, sometime just for fun.

Thats a few that I can think of offhand. If I asked my woman she could tell me more! (she went away for the weekend, woohoo!! lol)

 

I dont have that problem anymore, but its the story of my dads life..

Yet again Id have to say Im the same way. Im only a perfectionist about certain things though.

This is F***in weird...

 

Haha that is weird Chris.

Now we just gotta figure out who is actualy the milkmans kid and who isnt!!

 

Now this all depends on if it's what I think, or what the WIFE thinks haha. She gets a bit frustrated with how much time I spend in the woods this time of year, well....mostly August & September (Archery Elk) I pretty much made it a pre-requisite that at least one week vacation in September is set aside for LIFE To make up for that this year I promptly reserved a vacation in the Caribbean once Elk season was over

 

I am obsessive compulsive. Much like Jack Nicholson in "As Good as it Gets". That and super sanitary. I dodge public restrooms like the plague. In fact if I have to use one I will touch nothing without the aid of a paper towel or toilet tissue, that includes opening the door to exit, so if you see a paper towel on the floor behind the door of the mens room, I was there before you. If something is broken or not working right I will not sleep until I figure it out. I went to bed last night just knowing that hitting my dashboard was going to fix my odometer. I don't like eating out either because I don't trust the kitchen workers to wash their hands. Y'all remember the Seinfeld episode and Pappy?

 

I don't want to come off as a know it all.....but I feel I have some incite to offer. Lighter weights and high reps is a waste of time. The muscle has to perform work, preferably to exhaustion even if you only want more definition, if it it takes you 15 reps to feel resistance the first 10 reps where worth nothing. I would suggest a max of ten reps with sufficient weight so that you can't do 11 or 12 reps. Albeit this is after warming up and after you are accustomed to weight training.

Bulking up is a woman greatest fear about weight training. Most stock women cannot bulk up without mods (like how I though that in there). The increased muscle mass (I'm not talking the Olympia here) just an increase in the amount of muscle one has will increase ones metabolism and burn more calories and reduce body size.

Here is a simple thought: Stored Fat=energy for later in case we are trapped on an island (it's there for survival), Stored Suger/Carbohydrates=energy for what we are doing right now. These are types of fuel our body uses. Muscle on the other hand is not a type of fuel it is the motor that moves our body and if we increase the size of our motor the more fuel it burns. Dam another analogy

I do agree that rock climbing is an awesome workout.

Metabolism can be affected things like what you eat, if you have thyroid problems, but it is most easly changed by being active or not being active. But can be noticeably increased by increasing your muscle.

Are you me in nicer clothes.

 

Yeah, I'm a little OCD too. Can't handle crooked pictures, and I still don't step on cracks in the sidewalks... LMAO!!!! Not as bad a Monk by any means, but I do have my quirks.

 

Sounds like you'd fit in well at my house. One word of advice for Randy. Tankless waterheater (ok. 2 words). You NEVER run out of hot water.

Nope. I'm a friggin angel.

 

The O/T thread certainly seems to die on weekends starting about 8 p.m. Friday nights. Is that because most members participate in this thread during the week from work? I am not being funny, just asking for other opinions I suppose. The tech topics keep plugging along.

 

Even catching it from the wife. Thats bad.
Less than perfect. No, Not I!
I thought I was the only one that did that.

 

OK..seriously..you and Randy have GOT to be related...And I'm not just basing that on the teen wolf thing you both have goin' on. That man will be late to his own damn funeral. His procrastination and knack for being late to everything, combined with my impatience? Well that usually results in me going outside and sitting in a running car waiting for him to come outside. I call it Lollygagging. I swear sometimes we are literally on our way out the door and he'll stop and write a check to pay a bill, or wash dishes.

Possibly. We've already discovered that Sheldon and Chris are long lost brothers. (still haven't figured out who is the milkman's son). And...Randy and Joe are definitely related somehow. Maybe you and I are long lost brother and sister.

Psych degree huh? Daang...I'm kind of intimidated by you now. You've probably been sleuthing around the boards analyzing everyone's mental health.

I can definitely see Mark as OCD.

I'm sure he already has a plan devised for that. He now also has a California King bed, and I couldn't hog all of that bed if I tried my damnedest (believe me, I've tried). Angel huh? uhh you know, your wife is a member here now. All I have to do is PM her and get the real scoop.

 

Wait Lisa, did you say randy will wash dishes?!

Better hang on to that guy!!!!!! Thats the most rarest quality in a male!

 

lol. Yep. He does dishes. Automatically without being asked to! He is extremely clean, actually. Cleaner than I am I should add.

He also does laundry, vacuums, takes out the trash, mows the lawn, goes grocery shopping. He can fix things..even invent simple contraptions. He's extremely intelligent, goofy, caring, understanding, doesn't yell, and hates to fight..

Are you guys starting to understand why I'm crazy about this guy? He came pre-programmed just like a DP Tuner!

 

Even a shrink would of picked that up. They are (psychiatrists/psychologists) the most messed up people in the world. They can't figure out their own lives.

Edit: Wow that seems harsh, I'm ripping on the shrink. Like you, I sometime come off as brass.
