Since he took over the show has started to focus on American English a bit more but it's still really interesting and I could listen to him explain stuff all day. His recent episodes on American English becoming "blacker" and his one about the Movie Arrival and the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis were really good. Words For Granted is relatively new and focuses on the history of English vocabulary and how words and their meaning have shifted over time. It deals with history a lot more then Lexicon Valley does, plus each episode is 20 minutes or less so they're easy to catch up with and listen to.

RE: all the back/neck aches people have been posting about. I got one of these on a friend's recommendation and it owns: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BJATS9Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 At first it felt all like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5kEyo1qL-U But then it was like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0XzMOW0wgI I've thrown my back out a couple times from dead lifts, and this thing definitely helps. (Also it's a unit the size of an MP3 player with electrode pads on wires, so you don't have to worry about it being one of those "massager" units that looks like a big ol' vibrator.)

Army gave me a tens unit. Then the VA gave me a tens unit. They're obviously better now, but no giant leap forward. I've had one laying around for at least a decade that I use once in a while when poo poo gets bad. Thanks gubmint!

Cat chat? Here's one of my kitties, she is rather sleepy so I rubbed her ears to get her to wake up for the picture.  This cat loves fleece blankets, she gets upset if I take away her blanket for any reason. When I wash it she will spend the next day and a half just rolling all in it and rubbing on it to make it smell like her again. orange juche fucked around with this message at 08:25 on Jan 18, 2017 |

Your back should not be engaging to that point whatsoever. Clench that rear end like the green weenie is trying to invade, deep belly breath, squeeze the lats like you're trying to crush oranges under your armpits and hinge at the HIPS.

I've been doing kettlebell swings to work that area in the meantime. What other lower back exercises are there that aren't as risky?

How do you turn around if they close sections of the road? They try to keep it open, and will tell you if it's not. Call (719) 385-7325. As for turning around, it depends on your vehicle. For automatics, usually second position for the shifter. For manuals, usually forward and left or rearward and right, but always demarcated with the letter 'R'

Yeah my lumbar is all hosed up and the sheer across my vertebrae always made me nervous and uncomfortable during deadlifts. I switched to a sumo style deadlift (the hexagonal looking bar you stand in the middle of) and it was way better. Your back is a lot straighter vertically during the exercise.

How many of you dads have given up drinking for at least 30 days? At the end of the 30 days, did you notice anything different? Did you loose and inch or two off your waist? Feel better? What about soda?

Been sober since November. TBH started compensating by drinking soda, and have been slowly weening myself off that.

How do you turn around if they close sections of the road? Talk of snow friday/saturday in the mountains. Remember it's 8000 feet up from Colorado Springs, so wear warm clothes and keep the heat cranked. It's going to be 40s down in the city this weekend, so figure probably in the 20s daytime up top of the peak.

I decided that if I'm going to have a beverage vice, it's going to be beer. If I can give that up for a month I wonder if I can get a truly flat stomach, rather than a little mound.

I've been subbing in flavored seltzer water for soda. Like the Kroger brand version of LaCroix since I guess even diet soda is bad for you.

Beer is a significant part of my daily calorie intake so I start losing weight when I stop drinking. I'm a skinny bastard already so I just have to keep drinking.

I quit drinking again sometime around November '15. I never really drank enough to effect my weight, but I'm still down around 20 pounds since then. But I haven't skipped a day of weed since I got to Colorado about five months ago. And if you eat before smoking, munchies are not an issue. But I'm also a lot more active here what with Frank and the dog parks and all.

I've changed my diet a lot in the past few months. Eating way more veggies and avoiding junky poo poo as often as I can. There's that downside with getting older: takes more effort to maintain.
