This was a bad time for spezzy to come into this conversation...

 

“The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places.

But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now

mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.â€

--J.R.R. Tolkien, "Return of the King"

 

"Are the gods not just?"

"Oh no, child. What would become of us if they were?"

--C.S. Lewis, "Till We Have Faces"

^this. She doesn't trust us boys not to join the mob when things get out of hand. I wouldn't either.

You think she doesn't already read everything in here?

You'd be wrong.

Dude, I need SOMETHING to do to look busy between sets so everyone will leave me be :)

(If this post seems brief or anything like that it's because I'm using my phone and don't want to type a lot :))

I always hit the frank before the beans.

 

same here. I actually tag myself somewhat regularly when doing deadlifts (usually speedy ones during the warm up). It is unpleasant.

So, is this going to be a place to just talk about health issues, or the lack of male representation in general?

 

The Men's Only thread was to discuss (originally) situations of health, living and anything that related particularly or specifically towards men, by men, but is not limited to exclusively just men. the idea was if I wanted a place to discuss prostate cancer, my libido or why i don't feel very manly when the guy next to me is deadlifting 500+ pounds *coughCoreyDcough* i could come here and see if this was normal or not and what I can do to improve. 

We have discussed men's health, fashion, lifestyle, how to handle certain familial relationships, dating, breaking up, death, juggling, hat wearing, monty python, pro wrestling and I think once we discussed how cool neil degrasse tyson is. (okay that last one i made up just now. 

 

SO the long and short is, if you have a weiner and balls (or even if you don't but you feel more relatable to those who do) then join in the conversation and reel free to talk about anything (almost) that you like.

I have the joy of long arms here... I only gingerly touch the tip on deadlifts that go up too fast.

You know this thread of conversation is starting to making me rethink if I should start lifting heavy. And not in a pleasant way...

So I'm realizing I sorta missed you.

or why i don't feel very manly when the guy next to me is deadlifting 500+ pounds *coughCoreyDcough*

As I remember, the only time we met in person was when I was still failing at 465 singles.

I don't know who this Gainsdalf guy is but he seems really pretty

Must be the beard.

Welcome back to the party, I was wondering when you would show up again.  Now I want to go to Fire & Ice... think it might be time to start bugging the Boston nerds...

And as some have realized _after_ hitting post, everyone on the boards and the internet can read whatever we are discussing...

So, I've decided, and with some insistence from my girlfriend, to stop being friends with my ex.  Just flat out stop talking to her.

 

She mentally and emotionally abuses me.  She yells at me when it's not necessary, she always makes herself out to be the victim, when there either isn't a victim or it's really me, etc. etc.  I keep telling myself that she's not all bad, but to be honest i shouldn't have to put up with the crap that she doles out to me.  She doesn't' treat anyone else that way, just me.

 

So, yeah.  I'm depressed about it for some reason, but it's the right decision.
