ParticipantRemember young jedi, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering, and suffering leads to 2001 prices again.
May the force be with you.

August 8, 2008 at 11:25 AM in reply to: What do you guys think about Consumer Credit Counseling? #254599Participant[quote=j]All credit counseling is are call centers pushing the status quo for people who are financially changed. I saw a 60 minutes peace, or something like that, on some a few years ago and they are a joke. Nobody was qualified to give any financial advice, they were high school grads with a script.[/quote]
That’s what I was kinda guessing. I’ve been sending out my resume all over the place and got a call from them in less than 24 hours for an interview. (I’m actually am a REAL counselor)I would love to work with clients on finacial issues and address the underlying drive to overspend, but it sounds like in this organization there really isn’t any room for that. I’ll proabaly still go on the interview, it’ll be good practice since I’m a little rusty.August 8, 2008 at 11:25 AM in reply to: What do you guys think about Consumer Credit Counseling? #254772Participant[quote=j]All credit counseling is are call centers pushing the status quo for people who are financially changed.

Looking good in a bikini is nice, but I’m more concerned with being well enough to enjoy a long, stress-free life well into my golden years. When you’re in your 30’s, 40’s, 50’s it’s easy to say health is all about appearance… Later on when the poor-diet-and-exercise-induced illnesses set in, you may find that keeping in good health pays off in more ways than just appearance…Just before my dad died I asked him if he wanted to leave me with any advice he had learned in his many years (he lived until 91 and was almost 60 when I was born). He was a doctor– a pathologist. He said: take care of your teeth, and avoid fat. His whole career was spent diagnosing illnesses, the majority of which he believe could be traced to the levels of fat in your body. He learned to skateboard at age 80, the same year I set him up on the internet.
I can’t discredit the words of my dad on his death bed and have used his advice since! San Diego is an easy place to do it. Surf all year, snowboard in the winter, volleyball all year, scuba, hiking, swimming, you name it. We have many sports clubs, fitness centers, and plain old nature trails for the outdoorsy types.[/quote]
I was refering to why you might see more thin people in southern CA than in other regions in the country. I agree that looking good in a bikini isn’t nearly as important as maintaining your health for later in life. But I think in general, in southern CA, the reason you see more thin people is more about culture than staying healthy. Fortunately SD has wonderful opportunitites for a wide range of physical activity.
