A mind dulled by "repetitive rubbing" believes the trick. An obedient mind is not alert to this sleight of hand. I emphatically agree! An obedient mind delegates to others the responsibility for moral decision-making. That's, IMO, not at all a good thing. 15 hours ago, Twinky said: I'm not at all sporty. I don't like running. However, I've run <>8 half marathons, most as fundraisers for a local Christian charity. I trained a lot for the first one and that was actually my worst time. Don't run now. Mild arthritis in right knee makes running after 8 miles quite painful. I suppose I could drop to 10k (about 5 miles) runs. But I still don't like running. Me too! I don't run any more. It's a chore just to walk very much. Btw, before twi, I was just athletic enough to participate in exercises during USAF basic training and to complete the yearly 1.5 mile run (jog). In HS, I tried out for baseball (didn't make any teams) and JV wrestling. I decided I preferred drama club and choir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
