Setting up a home gym in my garage to hopefully remove my excuses …… but years back an acquaintance died while using his home gym in his garage, and was discovered by family. You don’t usually think of exercise as a deadly risk but it happens. Since I live alone, the nightmare is it would be a long time before I was discovered and that much more traumatic if it were family
Well theres a easy solution for that. Don’t get any of those pulley machine things. Just hand weights and a pull up bar. You don’t even really need anything else. Those machines are a waste of money.
Yeah none of that, but one of my kids is a pretty serious weightlifter, so I need some serious equipment for when they’re home from school for the summer.
And an exercycle for cardio when the weather isn’t good
Started with the cycle: a high end machine for dirt cheap off Marketplace. Then dumbbells (except they’re only up to 30 lbs and he uses higher). Most recently found a deal on an Olympic bar and plates. Now comes the hard part: benches and racks, and I’m running out of time to find them on Marketplace
I mean, I haven’t had any contact with anybody in 4 months now. Other than the checkout person in the local shop. And I’m sure they wouldn’t care if I stopped going there.
Anyway, this is not a “woe is me” thing, I’m completely fine with this. I much prefer to be left alone lol.
Yeah, you value me because I answered your question. The question was “do you feel valued” and no, I don’t feel valued because I answered your question.
I don’t feel valued because I bring no value to anyone in my life. Internet strangers asking questions do not count into that lol
Not at all. I’m pretty sure, if I died now, it would take a few months for anyone to notice anything.
I gotta admit to one particular nightmare here

I can’t promise to miss you viscerally but I am pretty sure the rest of the universe would.
I don’t see how lol.

And yet, you responded to this. What’s going on with you? Why do you think you are not valued? I value you.

That sucks. What’s something that to you would feel valuable to do?
Anything, really. Work or whatever. But the crippling depression and anxiety disorder etc sort of gets in the way of all that.
