I'm not sure why your comments along these lines with a new member always make be burst out laughing, but they do.

Trad men need to lift.

Everybody needs to lift.  It is much like brushing one's teeth, a basic task of health and hygiene. It is arguably even more important for older women to do strength training due to this group's higher risk for osteoporosis.  Since I lift myself, I find these references to lifting decidedly unconvincing as a signal of machismo or whatever it is Heinrich thinks he is doing.

As a greeting for new members, a running gag that they are not likely to understand is a highly debatable choice.  It is just as likely to be seen as a way of reinforcing their status as newbies as making them feel welcomed or amused.

But I hope that StJohnEudes does feel welcome and finds this forum of spiritual benefit in spite of Heinrich's and my own failures in this intro thread.

Jayne, if anything were to dissuade a new member from being participatory, it would be fear of you sticking your big, fat, sanctimonious, and disingenuous nose into things that really do not concern you.
