[20:01]	Isambard_Prince	I told my therapist that you should never ever have the TV on during sex. I said it ruined the first attempt with my partner because "you're over there trying to concentrate and then Unsolved Mysteries comes on and it goes THEN HE KILLED HIS WIFE WITH AN AXE and here's the body!"
[20:02]	Isambard_Prince	"So the TV has been off since then and that's going well."
[20:02]	Isambard_Prince	"He was concerned that people might hear us and I said I don't care if they do."

[20:06]	Isambard_Prince	It's one of the few pleasant things going on right now and I'm not going to try to drown us out with a television like I'm a teenager again and hiding it from my ex's mother.
[20:11]	Isambard_Prince	Hmm, I kind of want a burrito and some elote from that Mexican grocery store. Maybe after my shoulder exercises.
[20:11]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, My surgeon said cardio exercises that elevate my heartrate for at least 5 minutes, twice a week. So I chose to interpret that creatively, you know.
