What’s the big deal about me doing gym three times a week?
You don’t need to, you say. Do a little more around the house. Like gardening.
Gardening isn’t cardiovascular, I say. It has a lot of health benefits but it isn’t cardiovascular. It isn’t enough.
And you’re seeing the skin specialist next week. What’s that all about?
Looking after myself, I say.
You fuss too much, you say. You even check your car out during the week. I’ve seen you in the driveway, wiping away the bird shit off your car. Birds gotta shit somewhere.
Sure but it eats away the paintwork.
It’s becoming a fetish, you say. And now you’re off to gym, I suppose?
I treat my body like my car, I say. It’s the vehicle I travel through life in.

Indeed. Those maintenances so important. I so often need a tune-up. 😁delightful analogy, John. You take us there so effortlessly.

Yeah, I could see where theres a difference between getting an oil change and adding a spoiler. Could exercise also be related in that way?

And by, fetish, I assume you mean “an inanimate object worshipped for its supposed magical powers or because it is considered to be inhabited by a spirit.”
Wow, cool car.
As always- Nice job, John.

exactly, Bob; if more people took responsibility for their own health, we’d have a much healthier population; though colds sideswipe you no matter what 😦

A very clever rebuttal, John. Have to maintain oneself for the present and future days. Good health is a treasure. 🙂

That’s a great analogy, reminds me of a story.
The caretaker asked the man still sitting alone in the stadium long after the game ended if he was alright.
The man turned to him with sad eyes and said. “Fifty thousand in the audience, twenty-two players and three referees! Why the H**L must that seagull shit on just me”

You should treat your body as such! Take it from someone who isn’t nearly as healthy. Keep your health because losing it is horrible. Your body is the only place you have to live.
