"I'm speaking specifically about the age." Yes. You specifically said that a 60 year old building is not old enough to inspire awe. And I rightfully replied that that is nonsense. My statement was obviously not obvious to you

I prefer neither. That's my point: one of the beauties of exercise is that there are so many ways to approach it. One of the most important keys to a sustainable exercise program is tailoring it to what works for the person doing it, n

It's almost like there are people who have developed an ability to trick people into doing things that they wouldn't normally do via some sort of plan of deception. But we know that can't possibly be true. https://

"A 1960s building is old, but 80 years isn't really enough to inspire awe;" That's absolutely untrue. Plenty of buildings inspire awe immediately upon completion and plenty of them have gone through their entire life-cyc

That's very much like my experience: I went from 225 to 165 over 10 years ago. After I reached my goal, I figured I was done and I went back to my old ways and put on 40 pounds. I lost that and I've kept it off by just eating less
