argh don't mention pastries there is a GREAT Sicilian pastry house 100 yards from my appartment..... lucky I've had my porridge already this morning, so I can avoid the tractor beam at the shop's entrance...
Gave it up slowly over time, mostly gave it up this past Jan after close to 4 years. I mostly got sick of the crap. The gym I work for is like a cult - & the gym management as well as members treat you like dirt. Not worth it. This is not the same gym that I train at.
Eagerly awaiting some witty retort from Arioch.....
<<shrug>> It's quicker to type "gym" than "retirement home/spa". 'Morgue,' however, is a bit excessive. They (folks at my gym) are the masses - the average, those whom you rule over. That does not make them dead.
