I'm wondering what's the best way to not cause any tensions.  

Additionally as the tensions rise between ASEAN nations and China over territorial disputes in the South China Seas, I would expect the US military to invited back into the Philippines.

Theres a lot of debt to go around in my house, as my younger brother (19) has a combination of a defect in his aorta valve as well as the disease hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (probably spelled that wrong, its the same disease that most of the young highschool atheletes died of on the court/field from being undiagnosed, thankfully his aorta defect allowed for frequent testings and caught it ahead of time) and a mytochondrial defficiency in his skeletal muscles.

It's helpful to get this drilled into your head early, as you'll build up a mental muscle to avoid spending money on depreciating assets.

I have a therapist but I don't dare talk about the problems of being affluent - because nobody sympathizes.I'm writing this post as a form of release of tension - but also to warn you that someday you may get the success you crave - but there are real downsides.In a nutshell the problems are:1 - Guilt - that you don't deserve what you have.2 - Fear - that you will lose what you have.

@Grace Carney Hello and welcome to BP, a great place to work your out your investor muscles. 

I do use professionals when doing so saves a great deal of time or when a great deal of muscle is required to do the job.

There wasn't any more or any less racial tension between minorities and the police than there is in Chicago, where I've also lived.

If anybody wants some muscle or an apprentice in the Dallas, TX area, Im here.

Yeah Krav is really fun.With the weights I do not train to get big.I train now for power and speed for all of my martial arts techniques.Many of the people doing weights will not stretch and then be bulky but have no flexibility,no endurance as they do limited cardio,and the muscle group movements are slow and sluggish.There are a few exceptions of course.Each time they do heavy weights you have to really stretch out the muscle to keep it pliable.The muscle fibers tear down each time and rebuild thicker.You have to stretch to keep the flexibility with adding the mass.I haven't gotten as serious into my training lately as I want to.I am going to buy one of the weight vest soon.I like the quality of www.weigthvest.comI will get the 150 pound version but will start out small at 10 pounds and work up.It's just like when we break boards.If you try to break 5 or 6 at once you break your hand if you haven't done it yet.The reason is you do not have proper technique down yet and your bone structure isn't ready for the force yet.You start off small with one board and then slowly over time your bones will get denser to adjust to the load and you increase the board count.
