Why does everybody go see ‘Mamma Mia?’ Hypocrisy! Rank hypocrisy! I’m not embarrassed to say I like ABBA, ‘Dancing Queen.’”

There is some ABBA on my ipod.

Does anyone else sometimes (all the time) mouth (mouthe?) the words to the song while listening? Or am I the lone crazy?*

To prove how uncool ABBA is, I only need to give you this one tidbit.

My mother's cell phone ringtone is Dancing Queen.

ABBA's fantastic. And sinister. In all the right ways. I love the group. I could listen to their greatest hits all day.

Hey Fringey, I went down to sign the baby shower card for my good friend and the woman organizing the shower told me I look like I slimmed down a lot. I was very happy. That was nice of her.

Am I the only person on this board who does not work out in any manner whatsoever (meaning exercising for exercising sake, and not meaning that I don't have at least some exertions in my everyday life)?

I do not exercise for exercise's sake.

I have taken, however, to changing my routines to increase my exertion levels. So I walk a couple miles on the average day, and have a half hour to an hour and a half that would qualify as exertion.

Best exercise I ever get, though - playing sports with the kids. Even if I have become suffiently decrepit so that my 10 year old can now outskate me in the winter and outmaneuver me with a soccer ball in the summer. (But, dammit, I've still got her in basketball).

I do sometimes. Sometimes I sing too, which can be embarassing. And everyone around me probably can hear what I'm listening to anyway, since I turn it up so loud.

I had one woman the other day ask me to turn my music down. She cited that even over her old discman she could hear my IPod. ummmm yeah, lady. howse those old skool headphones?

The best was a woman forced her way into the third seat and was like tremendously fat. and she smirked at me. So I turned up Nickelback's rockstar so loud she promptly got up and sat somewhere else. I guess she didn't like my song.

If you have your music up so loud that people around you can hear it, you are damaging your hearing.

And annoying everyone else on the train.

How do you consider walking 20 city blocks in an hour? "Work out" or "daily life exertion"?

The question to me is intent. So, it depends on why you are walking those blocks: (1) for the sake of it; (2) because you are meeting your friends for pints 20 blocks away, and you want the exercise of walking rather than riding in some form, so you leave early to allow time for the walk; or (3) because you are meeting your friends for pints 20 blocks away, and you have an hour to kill and like walking in the city. (1) and (2) I do not do; (3) I do do and do not consider "working out."

I saw Nickelback open for Ryan Adams a couple weeks ago. They had very capable amplifiers.
