    Once when I was in Jr. High I sat in a hot tub for about an hour and it burned my balls. Skinned hardened and peeled off. Not kidding.
    I love to turn you on

    Ohhhh dude...nooo don't tell me that...

    I feel dirty all over again. :D

    Follow these two steps and all will be fine:

    1. Immediately take a "Silkwood" bath.
    2. Never go into another public hot tub for as long as you shall live!!!!

    I'd say "ouch"...but I think that would be the understatement of the year.

    I LOVE running in the snow. The cold air feels fresh on my lungs. It gets the blood circulating better, plus running outdoors gives you much more to see, especially if you live in the city near the lake... you can always avoid the heat by jogging really early or late in the day.

    Besides, ever watch Rocky IV? Nuff said. :D

    If I jogged where I live I would be hit by a cab within a couple of minutes.

    I love running in the snow too. My favorite temperature to run in is in the 30s. but when it gets to the teens and single digits, it is just too hard to breath and to wear warm enough clothing. ice is a problem for me though, i can barely make it to the T in the morning when there's ice, let alone run on it.

    I also don't run outside when it's over like 80, 85. I don't enjoy it at all. my body swells up something awful too.

    but regardless, I do a ton more for my workouts than running, push ups, and chin ups. I lift a lot, I do a lot of cross training, I just need a gym.

    I didn't know what to do. Couldn't show my mom that's for sure!!! I actually had to peel it off over the span of a day or two. just raw skin underneath. pure agony. worst pain i've ever felt. It was 10 years before I stepped into a hot tub again. 'ouch' was an understatement.

    in keeping topic intergrity - i hate it when people stand there after their workout and stare at others still doing there thing while downing some energy drink acting like it's the nectar of the gods. morons.

    Oh man that sounds brutal. They might have used an oxidizing non chlorine setup. I've had a bad case of nipple burn once but that's about the extent of my erogenal damage.

    There is this one guy who wears a head to toe shiny satin speedo russian mafia track suit and I think goes to the gym just to sip his drink and watch people. The guy might pull off two sets in an hour, but he doesn't really ever talk to anyone. He just watches while pretending not to.

    Maybe he's trying to soak up the workout through his eyes for his own little "workout" later.. :p

    My advice? never go to a Gym in January. Wait for the new year's resolution people to give up and move on.

    I wish I could do this! but not working out for a month probably isn't a good idea!

    I know, it sucks, that's why I don't go to the Gym anymore. Too many of the other users influence my mood. So I try to walk more and things like that.

    Just wanted to point out a few pet peeves of mine about the gym. Feel free to add any of yours.

    1. Guys Who Grunt: I'm sure you're looking forward to that case of hemorroids and six additional forehead veins that you will soon be the proud owners of considering the amount of straining you're doing, but it's a bit much if I can hear it over my IPOD.

    I find that sexy, but then, I am a girl.

    so we saw "Thor" at the gym last night. haven't been there in a few months so it was a nice surprise to see him on the night we decided to go back...

    this guy makes me almost roll on the floor watching him workout...

    if we are upstairs where the machines are one thing he does on the a couple machines is pull the pin out, collect ALL the 5 lb weights and stack them all up. makes no sense.

    and the way that he jerks the weight all around it's no surprise that he has a brace on. i still can't believe no one has gone up to him and demonstrated the proper way to use equipment...


    Esther's here and she's sick?

    hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks

    I always laugh at the huge meatheads who are doing dumbell exercises with dumbells that are so heavy they have to have someone else lift them into place for them. That always makes me laugh.

    Thats so they don't get hurt, you can press alot more weight than you can easily get into position. Don't want to tear a rotator or something lifting those up.

    As for a complaint I have about my gym is the creepy people there, once there was a guy in the locker room standing in his tighty whiteys and he had shit himself! Seriously, he was standing there with shit coming out of the back of his underwear and he seemed oblivious to it. I got out of there asap and always avoid going on machines after him if I see him up there.

    That is bad. But if the guy was oblivious to it he may have been having a seizure or something. A childhood friend of mine would have seizures and would piss his pants.

    It annoys me when its pretty empty in the gym and I am in a huge row of ellipticals and no one else is in the row, and someone walks up and sets up on the one next to me.. Like, dude.. spread out a little, must you run on top of me when no one is here?!

    THere is always someone shaving at the gym while naked, worst was one time the old dude had his balls on the countertop while shaving, gross!

    That was fucking funny! I never laugh out loud while on the computer, but damn!

    At my gym people walk around naked, chat naked and shave naked....I don't get it. I don't want to see your giblets.

    Once I saw a guy who must have had gigantism of the balls....it was WEIRD!


    Another weird guy is an old man that when he takes a shower he wears a leopard speedo...
    Then there is the huge dude with crossed eyes that ALWAYS listens to Rammstein's Du Hast on his Ipod (yes it's that loud)


    The guy I absolutely hate is the guy that uses four machines and then goes to take really long drinks so you don't knwo if he's still using all 4 or not. Once I took one of the handles he was using and i heard him say "People keep taking my shit". Moron....
