it is what it is.

100 IQ is literally a baseline average. you can always read and learn and gather knowledge... it may not 'raise' your IQ but you can be a better person for it.

and you definitely have control over your heart rate. i just had emergency open heart surgery and now am on a drug will regulate my heart rate until i die. my situation is a mutation and hopefully only in my body, but your situation can probably be made better, even if just by a bit.

try and get out for a walk every day. doesn't have to be much. my wife and i walk about a half a mile a day and it always feels good.

'average' IQ is 100

healthy resting heart rate is 60bpm

EDITED

i just linked the quote.

South Detroit = City Lights Boy

it isn't a perfect rhyme, but, it is a phoneticly appealing.

as a Michigander, i love you for this.

go find "South Detroit" on a map.

it is generally believed it was written so that it rhymed.

here you go...

you are one of today's 10000

Thank You for sharing your stories. as a former restaurant worker i felt every word. one love!

What's a Pirates favorite letter?

The one he gets telling him he plays for the Mets now.

i actually own a copy of the movie and have been putting off rewatching it. i will give it another look and see if i still feel the same way.

you, i like!

got it.

as a lover of the cold two of my bucket list items are the ice caps.

what do they call that in France?

i firmly believe that he fed the woman to the bears and ultimately sacrificed himself. it has been a while since i watched but there are a few things that really set me on that path way back when it first came out.

the point is that if you are ever ANYWHERE and you see a polar bear watching you, you are now food. they do not waste energy following something that will not provide a source of food. obviously this photog is prepared, maybe a snowmobile sitting behind him, but this is the exception, not the rule.

beat me to it.

exactly that.

the best part of having the second to last stop is if you forget to get off the bus (fall asleep) you were forced off at the last stop and had to wait until 5a for the next bus. a kid died from this a few months after i had to do it once. they made it illegal to force someone off the bus like that.

in Vail there is an awesome public transportation system, parts of it free, all of it affordable. the Puke Bus is fucking nasty. normally busses go down valley at least once an hour but certain shoulder seasons they change the schedule.

i ended up getting on the Puke Bus one night and had the the second to last stop. ie was wasted too but sober enough to get to the bus and seated in the back where it was empty. about five minutes in we are climbing a hill and a wave of piss and vomit comes sloshing back all over my shoes. so fucking gross.
