Scrappy, I think that was very classy and cool.
Having been on both sides of the bullying, I find myself in a weird psychological dichotomy. If the bullies who aggravated me came to me and apologized I'd be half "Whatever, we were kids" and half "EAT SHIT, SCUMFUCKERS!"
But I wish I could find the one or two I bullied. It bothers me to this day. I know, like you, that we lacked the experience then that hindsight gives us now. But I still feel "I should have known better." Especially since I was being bullied even as I bullied them.
Kids can be dumb. But it doesn't make the smarter adults they become feel any better about it.
I think your gesture was amazing.
Ginger, would you mind looking at what I've got so far, see how it sounds, see what's missing?
Sure. Profile address is good.
smonster, I got a foam roller for my perpetually sore, tight muscles. Oh my god I thought I knew pain. I didn't know pain. My IT band is THE DEVIL.
Toldja. My hip issues extend into my hip flexors and all the way down my IT to my foot. The roller helps but DAMN does it hurt. It's amazing to feel the fascia release as you whimper.
Oh my god THE PAIN. Rolling the hip flexors on the front of my legs (upper thigh up to the hip) was *nothing* compared to the IT band.
There may have been swearing. And now I feel a little endorphin-dopey.
I wish I still had my foam rollers, but one of the cats peed on them. So, yeah, those got chucked out.
