Just wanted to say hello to everyone here who might still know my name. I've had a lot of personal issues over the past 16 months that have kept me away from this, my favorite non-social form of socializing. I don't want this post to turn into a boo-hoo-poor-me thread, so I'll spare you the details and bottle the pain up with stoic convention.

It's good to be back. I haven't touched a weight in about 8 months, and I'm hoping the motivation this community has always brought me will help get me back on track. Over the time of my layoff, I lost 20 lbs. Unfortunately it was in all the wrong places. If any sponsors are looking for a new poster boy for the physique-comeback type of advertising, feel free to contact me as I'm sure that muscle-memory will kick in within a few weeks and I'll be back to my usual, ripped, disciplined self.

I've got a lot goin on in my life now, so I won't be an everyday poster like I used to, but I'll be visiting regular. -V

Welcome back man!

Nice to have you back, never like to lose a good Vet

Welcome back man...what happened to your relaxation supplement you created?

Good to see you back.

Nice to have you back man.

That's no fun--don't be a Misery Tease--what happened?

(Welcome back, of course;)

It's great to have you back. So many of the people who got me interested in this board back in the day have left... nice to see someone come back.

Good to see you as well...how have you been?

I see your spelling has improved. Let me know when you leave again.

Roy's not around, Victor...somebody had to do it. Welcome back.

Wow...what a jerk.

Mr. Beta Alanine himself..WB

Damn... Thanks for the warm reception. I've been away at a long-term rehabiltation facillity to kick my ß-Alanine addiction. Now I council other recovering athletes.

Seriously though, there's no real mystery as to why I've been away, nothing tragic. My divorce is official. Don't miss having a wife. I do miss my daughter though. I also miss half my income. At least I get to see my daughter on weekends, I never get to see my lost $$. Oh yea, and poor me, I have no one to pop the zits on my back (the only thing I miss about being in a relationship)

Lets see, as far as Dyazaplex, my marketing of it died on the vine pretty much. I had some minor medical issues about a year ago and... ah phuk it, no need for an excuse, just one more thing I started and never finished. Shame too cuz it's a really great formula. I saw an informercial for a stress-reducing nutraceutical that was a *blatant* copy, but that's what I get for dragging my feet.

What else is new? I've taken a vow of celabicy (selabicy? celabisy? Ras help me out). Not many people even know the true meaning of that word. Good thing I do. Good to be back.

BTW, anyone in NJ looking for a roomate? I'm in a winter rental now and gotta be out by May 18

Not sure if I can help with the orthography, but your medical condition is formally termed celibaceous cysts.

Depending on how far down this way (AC) you want to come I know of a couple of year round rentals that a buddy has. Very affordable.

Not seeing my kids every day would be pretty terrible. Your daughter is lucky as you are very much in her life.

With Dyazaplex...just like you developed that one, you can do it again, with something else. Except this time, your ex won't keep half of it.

I always say, as long as I have my intellect, I can crawl out of any gutter and make something of myself

Welcome back, I don't think I was posting when you were around before...but with such excitement from the other members you must be good peoples

You must be enjoying a comfortable gutter currently.

But I don't need any roommates

You must be pretty good at Guitar Hero then.

No. it's the inulin farts that keep others at bay

Great to hear from you.

Welcome back, and go fuck yourself.


(Endearing)

This works.

Welcome back.

BTW, celibacy?

One just has to be very careful with women, that is all.

Good to see you back around.

VC, believe it or not, a vow of celibacy as defined by Catholic doctrine just means that a person is swears to abstain from getting married. The reason being is that strict followers of said doctrine also refrain from pre-marital sex by default. So if a priest vows celabicy, then gives in to carnal temptations, he didn't break his vow, just committed a sin.

It's nice to see that loopholes and rationalizations exist even among the most pious individuals. -V

Hey Marc, did I bang yr sister or something? Or was that a friendly "go fuck yourself?" and since when are we allowed to type "fuck" w/o it turning into "phuck" or "f*ck?"

Well, if are saying that you are just going to have sex and not get married, then I still say:

One has to be very careful with women.

Always.

Good to see you V!

+1 on the go fuck yourself.
