| Part of human development is learning how to avoid negative consequences. Some people here freak out if anyone mentions spanking. We found that if you use a wooden paint stirrer (low mass), a few swats on the back of the hand can be an incentive. We would also offer a time out of five minutes on a ... |

| Just as things seemed to going smoothly and running my way, I once more visited the Doctissimo (health issues in general) site, and found my old ID and password didn’t work (which I may well have misremembered, as it’s been a long while) so I rejoined as gwynfryn3 (will they guess it’s the same me, ... |

| Here's a rum do: The last thing I did on a recent visit to the Quora site, was to PM this book link to an acquaintance. Yesterday when trying to log in, i was informed I'd been barred! No reason was offered, so I can only speculate, and I can't think of any other thing that might have provoked this.... |

| No surprise there, as I don't believe anyone really thinks that would work. In a moment of sanity, Col. Gaddaffi opined that it had to be a single state; anything else just prolongs the insanity! |

| I think I might purchase a copy. Best news I've heard for a long time, and very timely as I've just spent the best part of a day adding page and chapter numbers to the original, and it did my head in! I'm sure there's some automated way of making headers and page numbers match, but I've not found o... |

| Humans, eh? Victims of our own success. We used to have to exercise to get food. Now we don't have to, so we don't bother. Short-term result, comfort. Long-term result doesn't bear thinking about. I had access to an exercise bike once, and I used to pedal very fast for about 5 minutes. Couldn't bea... |

| My thanks, but what's this "URL as-is -"? I've followed all the other instructions, with "Author of OLD AND INVALID? YOU NEEDN'T BE!" (which is the book title, shouty or not) but nothing's happened. |

| I've written so many comments on the question of muscle building that I though I might as well write the book! Don’t let the “OLD” in title put you off, that’s just a hook for the potentially most interested audience; it works at any age, and is simple and easy enough that even the most determined c... |

| Every time I have lowered the volume and increased the intensity I have put on more muscle mass and got stronger. Maybe one day I will be able to stick to one intensive workout a week. Well done; you've got ahead of more than 99% of those I've encountered who do weight training, who seem incapable ... |
