Ok! I will admit it. I am 43 and I find that all those bone-joints are beginning to stiffen up, especially if I have been sitting at a desk or computer all week. However, a few months ago I saw this fitness program in the morning...

umart13 Hi Eysian. Thanks for the response. Jogging - now you are becoming the inspiration for me. I have never gone jogging, but you are right about getting out and taking in more oxygen into my lungs. I go walking long distances, which is very healthy, but it takes...

umart13 Morning jlamela, thanks for your answer. I agree with you about it being energizing. That enthusiasm is a bit like a positive circle, don't you think. You get up early and do the exercise to feel better - and you do! If you don't get up then your day is...

umart13 Hello Yogambal, Thankd for your answer. I will go for my big walk through the woods and along the riverbank tomorrow morning at about 9 am. It's fantastic and it's great to tank up on fresh air. It does however take about two hours, so Sunday is the only day...

I had a great live discussion yesterday about this topic. When I asked the men what they thought, the first answer generally given was "No!". Then one man would say it varies, before the next would say that men are more romantic,...

umart13 Hi dik_an, what a wonderful answer! Our discussion yesterday went in all different directions and many of the discussions on romance led back to childhood experiences and the circumstances in which people grew up. Some people said pretty much what you said...

umart13 Hi dreamangel, that is a pity, but it was apparent from the discussions I had this week that they do definitely exist. It was also noticeable that some men were more romantic than others and that it may have been related to which culture or country they grew...

umart13 Hi again, I just want to add a comment to what you said about doing the house chores. They are sometimes a great way of ding stretching exercises. I know my mother often says that a good cure for a tension headache is often simply to clean the bathtub... Have...

umart13 Hi moribus, thanks for a great answer. The exercises you mentioned are generally the exercises I do from the Telegym program. It's not the same people every morning, but it switches between yoga, aerobics, tai chi, nordic walking and many other exercies. I...

umart13 Hi zhuhuifen, that's a great point. I usually jump up out of bed just before the Telegym starts and don't even have time to open the blinds or the windows, so I am just following the exercises in my living-room. The people on the TV are mostly outdoors, doing...

umart13 Hi phanendrav, I think your day does get off to a better start if you do exercise. I am beginning to understand now why so many people in Asia do the Tai Chi exercises in the parks in the morning before they start work. Besides, it gets me up early on the...

Yesterday I had a great live discussion with a group of people about who is more romantic - men or women. Then the issue of the TV came up and a lot of people felt that the TV was destroying not only the romance between couples,...

umart13 Your last point about future generations losing their sense of romance was one of the major points to come out of the discussion yesterday. It was felt that the whole basis of family communication was disappearing and that future generations will not even know...

When you grab the newspaper - which section do you turn to to read first? Or do you read from front page to back in order. I know a lot of people will go right to the obituary and birth announcements - Others go directly to...

umart13 You are welcome! We all need some chuckles here at MyLot :-) Well it is a fact of life that many old people look at the obituaries to see if anybody they know has died. Then at the funeral mass services, you see all these old people turn up at the back of...

Where do you get your books? Do you prefer to get brand new books or browse the used book store? Do you use the library? I love used book stores, it's cheaper than buying them new, and I can find rarer books that way too....

umart13 They don't have any books!? How awful, but I know the feeling. All the charity shops in Dublin sell books as well as clothes, but in Germany they only sell clothes. There the people serving sometimes look at me as if I have two heads. I think I would like to...

umart13 Hi Sharra, The formula would have no problem with a 40 year old man going out with a 42 year old woman. Its main function is just to remind him if the woman is too immature for him. Otherwise I agree with your comments, especially the attraction between...

I see that Twilight is out on DVD. And HBO has a show called True Blood (I've not seen it) which is apparently based on a series of books. I can recall a film or two about vampires. For instance, [i]Interview with...

umart13 Hi, Yep! "Pardon me! but Your teeth are in my Neck is also the same film". Polanski was playing with all three names. It's well worth seeing. Even as satire it's very well made and the music is worthy of any real horror film.
