Really?? Obese? Nah. I am 6'2 and 220 lbs. Check out something called the athletic BMI and you'll see I am not fat. But on a regular BMI chart I show up fat. Go figure (muscle is heavier than fat).
A couple of years ago I finished landscaping my backyard. Aggregate weight of all the stone I put in place, and dirt and bricks removed, was around ten tons. No machinery, except hand tools and a strong back. No, I am not some fat slug as you imagine Ravi, and also look ten years younger than I am. Quit making shit up, fool. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Ravi Chivukula <chivukula.ravi@...> wrote: > > "Maharishi also once called CC a stepping stone." > > Oh wow - that would explain a lot of things with Jim. > > A young skinny Jim while washing dishes at a remote TM center somewhere in > the Midwest hears this cool teacher Barry brag to a chick - "Maharishi sez > CC is a stepping stone". > > Jimbo soon moves on, because he was never smart enough, cool enough, rich > enough - but he never forgets.
