Read MoreOk, time to refocus! (and a secret riding tip)
Sorry for the lack of posting today. It was just “one of those days” that you wish you just stayed in bed.
In any event, it seems that I managed to dodge a complete sh*t show of a day on the subway. The Lexington line was all out of whack apparently. The trains were only running express from 125th Street South or some craziness.
I was on 1 train today, or at least I should say, I attempted to be on one today. I waited on the local line (No 1) as 2 train after 2 train came down BOTH the local and express tracks. I thought I was stuck in some sort of time warp where trains that are supposed to be express kept coming on both tracks.
Then, I said to hell with it, and I got on one of the plentiful 2 trains. They kept coming, so I was shocked at how full it was. I guess I wasn’t the only one that finally gave up. So eventually, it came time to get off and wait for the local for real. I had ridden as far uptown on the express (running local) as I could. So me, and every other person on the train, decided to get off. What was fun was the fact that there was probably already two trains worth of people already waiting on the platform. Yay.
I had to break out one of my most top secret tricks to get on the first 1 train that finally came by. The secret is, you have to look at the ground. Yup. That’s it. Look at the ground near the edge of the platform. Usually, you want to look at the ground where the yellow warning part is near the edge. Look for the area on the ground that is the most “worn out.” Or look for the area with the least grim. Why? Because that’s where the door is going to line up.
Most trains stop within a couple feet of the “target.” So the doors will generally always line up at the same point all day long. So naturally, a worn area starts to become visibly notable. That’s where the door is going to be. So get yourself right up to that area, and you know the train is going to stop with the door right in front of you. Just make sure that you are near one side or the other of the door. Generally, try to place yourself with your shoulder lined up with the door frame. That way you won’t be in the way when people get off, and you will be in perfect position when it’s time to board.
That secret’s just between you and me.

ReplyI figured out more new stuff on this weight-loss issue. A single issue is a good nutrition is extremely vital when dieting. An enormous reduction in bad foods, sugary foodstuff, fried foods, sweet foods, red meat, and bright flour products might be necessary. Possessing wastes parasitic organisms, and wastes may prevent objectives for shedding fat. While particular drugs quickly solve the challenge, the awful side effects will not be worth it, and so they never supply more than a momentary solution. This is a known indisputable fact that 95% of diet plans fail. Many thanks for sharing your thinking on this site.

ReplyCompletely, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of several apps vs a rather sad collection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially from the realm of games, but I’m lost I’d want to bet within the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is an improved choice in that condition.
