After 12 hacking fits on Friday, the last 2 within an hour and not able to breath, I'd had enough. I went to the ER on Saturday morning under "Shortness of Breath!" They don't take that lightly. Got a full blood work-up, IV of a bag of fluids because I was dehydrated, and a chest X-Ray. My...

Finally moved out completely and left it cleaned from top to bottom. Yesterday all I had left was to finish cleaning the kitchen. The place smelled really clean and I couldn't smell the sewer gas. Began to wonder if it was all in my head, then I went into a total meltdown, hacking so bad I was...

Got the word 11:49 last night from my younger Brother in Utah, older Brother found frozen on a park bench on the high plains of Idaho. Surreal, just 62 last June. A welder by trade, until blinded in one eye last May. Was heartbroken he could no longer ride bicycle or work. Lived on SSI the...

She saddled up to me, reaking of cigarettes and "Happy," (but her hair was flowing). "No effing way," I thought, but the advice of Darkness over the years rang through me, "... and get some Vag!" Also I thought of encouragement from Glycomman, "...ask hr if she knows any midgets...". Either way...

Guy is cool as hell. Worked with me for over an hour trying to repair a 1960's punch the other guy screwed up; said he wants to work with me "over an hour cleaning this machine, and organizing the parts!" He is cool as hell. Another guy broke a punch which must be ordered, scuttled the job for 2...

It's a put-on! Milo was a Greek who carried a calf every day, developing stregnth and power every day by "lifting the bull!" What if I started with low curls and slowly increasing like Milo? Would I work up to 200 for the limit like back in the day? Try it and find out! You neophytes of space...

Amazons abounding with imaginary breastplates of bones and feathers. Do not engage...

As an 18 year old Palm Beach County Lifeguard swimming near the Jupiter Inlet back in 1977 I hit a shark with my hand doing a reversal to catch the next wave back. Needless to say, I caught the next two waves all the way onto the beach in my fastest landing on record. Went through an old...

Sometimes you can't plan your day. Determined to get away from my sewer gas apartment, I went to help a friend move some lumber. After hanging over 282 for 2 weeks in January, it was much easier to pick up logs from the ground at my current weight of 264. Yes, down 18 pounds in 22 days...

Started a new job today in a very busy sheet metal shop with lots of contracts. Leave at 4 AM and ride my motorcycle 25 miles through country road pre-dawn. Pristine. They started me on a 30 ton break. I shaped 245 metal fuse box panels. Great group of people in the shop; friendly with a...

Refused to pay the rent for February because I'm done with this sewer gas crap. Called the township codes inspector 2 weeks ago and explained the situation, then he asked, "Who'se your landlord?" When I told him he laughed and said, "Oh, he's an old buddy of mine, I'll give him a call!" Then...

I posted a rant about bootstraps and the last response/advice I received was on February 8th. Although I did not see it as a problem (we never do from inside the glass) I considered your comments worthy of action. Suffice to say I haven't had a drink since then, changed my diet and got off the...

How many after a successful run have fallen by the wayside, then pulled themselves up from their bootstraps and rose again? What was the spark to initiate your rise?

Are you insane? There's 500 lbs ready to smash your face! No problem??? Whaaa??? Damn, damn, damn... my beans just spilled out! I've known a few people in my "meager" 40 years as a "weight lifter" who could bench 500. For the most part they were few and far between. I almost felt like a liberal...

Just ran into a 30 something Mom/bartender I was friends with years ago. She said, "You look great!" Me in my red/black flannel and jeans. "Take it easy," I said, "I was already planning on a good tip!" "You do," she said. "Are you kidding me," I replied? Told her, "I gained 50 pounds since you...

Had a strange dream last night. Found myself walking through our old neighborhood near my Dad's house but everything looked out of place. The tree's and shrubs were smaller, houses kept up and the cars were very old. Saw a mint condition 1973 Opel GT parked across the street that practically...

Realistically, many of us are older and bigger now, but when younger, be honest, how many struggled to gain weight? I am now the heaviest ever at 275 pounds now for 2weeks, and personally feel this or that, but the strange fact is I've had more compliments in the past 2 months than in the last 2...

Over a decade ago, Lifts and DrVeejay were regular guys for this old fart to rise up to help me feel young again. Yes, I'm feeling nostalgic. Who was I, who am I, can the grail still be reached? That was over a decade ago but I find the same questions in my mind today. The Hindu's believe in the...

Ready or not, here I come!

Damn, WTF is wrong with people? The neighbors were getting loud so I stopped out for a draft. The music here is rotating between left-wing country (I never heard before) and black guys singing about sex and the size of their dicks?!? WTF? How are those parallels even relavent, Jeez! But, you...
