I've been checking back, too. I hope she's alright. Either the asshole figured out she was talking about it on the 'puter and took it away, or she didn't like something she heard.

The goods for Majutsu's Iron Pit arrived this afternoon, and he's currently assembling the power rack (thankfully, he's actually following directions!). He says he'll let me use it if I pay a fee...

Not only are you teaching your daughters that it's okay to accept abuse, but you're teaching your son to be an abuser. 3 or 4 times is one too many? Once is one too many. Abuse always escalates. My best friend put up with extreme abuse for a long time until she realized what I just said...

Bummer. I hope you heal up quickly. Nothing wrong with a hiatus; better that than to screw up the bone-knitting, so be sure to follow doctor's orders and take it easy.

What news? I'm sorry about this...that's pretty tough to get over. If he did cheat and not even protect you from disease, then he deserves a world of hurt. What a bastard! I hope you're doing alright. At least chlamydia is easily treated.

Well, incompetent people of either gender get on my nerves. But I suppose you could focus on the positive, and just be thankful YOU'RE not an incompetent man. Because I can't imagine that would be much fun.

Jens is right. It's a mental illness that needs treatment. A nutritionist couldn't make a difference until this man established a VERY different relationship with himself and with food. Even if he loses 500 pounds in the hospital, he'll gain it right back if he doesn't make that mental change.

Plus, my doctor told me to wait 3-6 months after going off the pill to get pregnant, to let the stuff clear out. I don't know why a doctor would have you go on them when you want to get pregnant. Sounds very strange, to me.

So what DOES hammy bench?

I've got one on my belly (halfway between my hip and my navel) that was taken from a design I had made in a printmaking class (a black fish and a white fish chasing each other around a little sphere...I'd called it "The Reincarnation of Othello and Desdemona"). I wouldn't advise getting one...

I'm sure the AAS complicates things, but I have a feeling that being a new father probably is a bigger issue. You really need to open the lines of communication with him in order to sort this out. Try to listen to him and not get defensive. I know it's hard, but it's worth it. I've been...

I was just telling someone today that the day my son took his first steps, I found him standing up in the bathroom sink, checking out the medicine cabinet. He'd climbed up onto the toilet and then into the sink. (It's hard to believe he'll be nine in a few months.) They'll keep you on your...

Mmmm. Chocolate. I love all kinds, including dark. When I need a fix, I eat a small handful of organic Sundrops (healthy M&Ms). Yummy.

Thanks. Yeah, it took a few weeks to feel secure with my body again. Every little pain (and there were plenty) and I wondered if I was bleeding again. I'd had some signs: the cramps, chills, etc., for about a week, but who thinks, "Gosh, I'm chilly and achy -- I must be bleeding internally"...

Thanks for the kind words, ladies. Daisy, you are looking great! Obviously whatever you're doing is working. Well, I'm beat. That heavy lifting sure will take it out of a body! (135...not bad for my first deadlift, eh?) I'm training for powerlifting now, and I figured the deadlift would be...
