I feel the same way about Samuro . Granted , I ' m only level 6 on him , but it ' s hard to get those numbers going especially before bladestorm . <| sep |> I dont give a fuck what you support . Im here for the food and a good time . Not some bullshit argument over a cheeto and hag <| sep |> Fine . Maybe then you will rightfully give me the sympathy and pity I deserve . <| sep |> Muscle and ability is a person by person thing . I do a half and half supervisorblue collar style job . I ' m supposed to just supervise but we are understaffed so . Learning coping mechanisms and being able to control howwhen I do certain things has been key for me . The right braces when trouble starts up , compression gloves for the hands when doing fine work I am an artist so that a big one for me and proper lifting techniques are all key . So are very , very hot baths . My tens unit , and tiger balm help save my butt when I overwork it . Ultimately no one can answer the wasting time question for sure . your body will decide , we can only try to minimize damage and maximize life . You know the joke ' i told my doctor it hurts when I do this , so he said don ' t do that '? That ' s us in a nutshell . As for the skin , very much this . My skates and my shoe laces tear the skin up . I don ' t untie my shoes if I can help it . Exfoliating with a pumice stone helps , as does keeping fingerless and full fingered gloves around . My new skates have a really neat single pull lacing system which is helping as well . Cardboard , rope , shoe laces , all make me cringe .
