OK, I am going to have to post pictures next monday, but here are the stats.

41 years old
Currently weigh 214

My goal since we have to name it, I guess, is to bulk up without gaining to much body fat.

I love the journal name Craig! Looking forward to those pics...

Awesome craig! Good luck

Posted by: craig777

OK, I am sorry but this last weekend was something else. I did get the pictures taken, but not developed yet.

Of my 5 boys, 2 of them wanted friends over Friday night. So we had 7 boys Friday night. Another one had a party to go to on Saturday that was 45 minutes away. I spent all day Saturday digging up the front yard with a pick axe because the little missus decided we needed to put grass down, because we supposedly have the worst yard on the street. Well I got the yard dug up, and all the old bermuda grass gone. Then we put some topsoil down and mixed it in, then after dropping off child at party, I picked up some grass, went back and picked up child from party, went home and the little missus was off getting her hair done. So I laid all the grass down, and watered it. Now it was about 4:00 and I went in, took a shower and crashed.

Sunday, we went to K-Mart because it is closing and everything is 50% off. We saved so much money, right. We got new light fixtures that I spent the day putting in. I also patched the front porch that had some concrete broken off since we have the worst yard on the block.

I finally got to sit down and watch the Spurs lose to the Lakers.

Now I am so happy to be back at work and take it easy.

Craig...honey...darlin'.....I've got a few odd jobs around my house you can come and do....only when you have a few spare seconds though!!!! (*My hubby now hits me in the back of the head with his paper, and says "Leave the poor basturd alone....I know just how he feels!!!")

With all this extra working out in the garden......have you finished it yet???? The yard that is......

Posted by: craig777

Esmerelda,

Hey sugar, no I am not done. I have a list so long I will never get done. Last weekend I dug up all the hedges from the front of the house. My wife wants to plant flowers and other plants in front of the house instead of the ugly hedges. She also wants me to put down flagstone around this new flower bed. She wants me to put outdoor tile on the front porch. That is just the front yard. I have already yanked all the cabinets out of the kitchen and put in new kitchen cabinets, I just got the counter top in this past week, so that has to go in, I just have the old one sitting on top of the new cabinets. I will have to remove the sink again (cast iron weighs about 200lbs) put the new counter top on and cut the hole for the sink and place the sink back in.

I keep telling my wife as I am sweating my ass off. Do you know how much I love you baby. I play around with the ladies here, but I adore my wife and I would do anything for her. She is the love of my life.

I would love to come to Australia to help you. I have always wanted to go to australia.

You got that right, or a roach.

Alright I will take a picture of the house.

I did shoulders today.

Dumbbell press
Warmup 15lbs 25reps
40lbs 15reps pausing for a second top and bottom

Shrugs Dumbbells
Warmup 30lbs 25reps
70lbs 15reps pausing for a second

Shoulder press
Warmup just bar 25reps
95lbs 15reps pausing for a second top and bottom

Side lateral raise
Warmup 8lbs 25reps
12lbs 15reps pausing for a second

This sounds like a light weight but Mike started me doing these with my elbow leading the way, and my palms facing back so the dumbbell is perpendicular to the ground. These hurt.

Machine shoulder press
Warmup 40lbs 25reps
80lbs 15reps pausing for a second

Rear side raises
Warmup 8lbs 25reps
12lbs 15reps pausing for a second

Front raises
Warmup 10lbs 25reps
15lbs 15reps pausing for a second

Upright row with dumbbells
Warmup 15lbs 25reps
20lbs 15reps pausing for a second

Between warmup and work set there is no time, maybe 10 seconds. Between one exercise to the next maybe 2 minutes, or however long it takes to get there. Entire workout takes about 30minutes lifting almost continuously.

I don't remember if you said or not, how tall are you? I'm thinking in the 6'4" or 6'5" range, close? Awesome back thickness!

Done any squats lately?

I don't know about you but I HATE my legs. I love to squat but my legs just won't grow like think they should.

I was an idiot and never worked my legs for many years, now I am feverishly trying to get them muscular for a competition in November. I had to go and break my toe earlier this year. Then I hurt my lower back doing deadlifts. Can you say old, well I think that you can.

Off to a good start. Craig, I will say, as one of the judges, you are losing serious points for those briefs!

FYI (I know you commented on this) but the easiest place for you to improve will be your legs -- they are not even close to your upper body. Just some unsolicited advice!

Thanks for all the great responses. I do appreciate them.

Twin Peak, That is one of my speedos, I used to be on a swim team and so for cardio I used to swim laps at my gym.

My flight leaves in about 3 hours. I have to go meet with Boeing in Wichita KS.

Miss LeDix, no when she pees we swat her bottom and put her outside. We don't swat hard. It is when she gets excited that the pee just starts flowing.

I lost my journal to the second page, so I will bump it up and update later. Have to do my travel expense account.

Posted by: craig777

OK, Last Thursday in Wichita I found a gym that gave me a one day pass for $10 and I did Legs on Thursday.

I did chest on Friday morning.

I don't remember quite what I did since I didn't have my workout cards with me, and they didn't have the equipment that I usually use but I got in a good workout both days.

It was a good trip, but I probably ate to much. I had salmon each dinner there, but restaurants always put too much butter and sauces on the food.

Made love to my wife Friday night, Saturday morning, and Sunday morning. That is the best part of going out of town on business, coming back home.

Not quite sure what I am going to do today. I want to do legs but they are still a little sore.

Had a good mothers day. All the ladies wanted to play canasta, so I played Uno with my nephews and niece. Ages 5, 6, and 8. My niece is 8 and she has a crush on me.

Saturday night 18 year old stepson said he was going to a friends house to spend the night, about 3 hours later the friend called and asked to talk with him. I said he is at your house didn't you know that. Turns out he was out with some friends that have gotten him to start smoking. Things aren't going well, my wife wants him out of the house.

Posted by: esmerelda

Hey it sounds like your wife had a great Mothers day.....!!!! So you like playing a round or two...Uno that is!!!!

Pitty to hear that your stepson is playing up...it can be very stressful....trust is one thing that takes sooooo long to build up again after its been abused!!! Good luck with him!!!

Oh, I am sure she had a great mother's day, but I had a better one.

You are right about the trust, and his is all gone. He keeps coming back to say he is sorry, and then does it again. He told his dad yesterday, Why doesn't everyone just leave him alone. I told him we would be more than happy to leave him alone, he can leave anytime he wants to. That isn't what he means though.

Posted by: ALBOB

Hey Craig, I meant to post this last week but got hit with a family crisis myself. You mentioned your stepson was looking into the Air Force but was having problems. If you have any questions make sure to PM me, I used to be a recruiter.

Posted by: craig777

He took his physical on Saturday. Finally, I thought we would have to drive him over ourselves. He passed everything except he is temporarily disqualified for taking Ritalin up until last year March. He had to be off for a year which he has, but he has to go talk with the Air Force psychologist. They said it was just a formality. Once he does that they said he would be qualified and they will swear him in and he can go in on the 9th of July. Oh happy day.

Does that sound about right, what they are telling him.

Posted by: ALBOB

You're REAL lucky about the Ritalin. When I was recruiting (1995-1997) if you had EVER taken Ritalin you were permanently disqualified. Everything else sound cool. What field is he interested in?

Posted by: craig777

Well he got a 50 on his test, and with the other scores (Not sure what they all are for) there were only three jobs he qualified for, one being Military Police. That is scary isn't it, take the ones that aren't too bright and make them Military Police. Give them a gun, especially with his temper. Well that is the one he wants because his dad was Military Police.

Well, as you all can tell from my pictures, my back is falling behind so I did back today. I did deadlifts again, it has been about a month. Oh it felt good to feel that pain again.

I always wondered about that myself.

Actually that's probably one of the best career fields someone like him could go into. Naturally they don't touch a gun until they've proven they're worthy and it gives them a MAJOR incentive to straighten up and fly right. (I hate that cliche!!!

) The law enforcement field is much more "military" than most of the other jobs in the Air Force and I'd be willing to bet you'll see a different young man when he comes home after Tech School.

Albob you just made my day. I can't tell you. Sosunni, Esmerelda give that man anything he wants.

Hey....whose the one having all the fun here????? Can I please struggle just a little before the ribbon is placed on my butt....??? Craig...darlin'....honey.....I never thought of you as the bondage master before...hmmmmm...kinda getting all the right ideas about you now though!!!!! Albob......Master....Sir.....Ohhh Mighty One... your wish is my desire..........YEA RIGHT!!!!!!! Drop and give me 50!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: craig777

Miss LeDix,

Thanks, it is very hard some times. I bought him a truck, even though it was only $2000, his dad didn't. I have him on my insurance, his dad doesn't, and when he asked his dad to insure him his dad said not a chance. I put a roof over his head and food to eat, but he will go over to his dad's and they will have a grand time ripping his mom and I to pieces. He is a very very disrespectful, unappreciative child. I will be happy when he goes to start his life.

Esmerelda,

Sure sugar, you can struggle, that makes it more fun when you are finally stripped naked, hog tied, with a ribbon on your butt. Not bondage though, you are my present to Albob for his words of encouragement, and wisdom. Then he can do with you whatever he wants to do.

I am going to do shoulders today.

Posted by: craig777

Today is Chest day, and yes Miss LeDix you can give my chest the squeeze test if you want to.

Posted by: esmerelda

Woooooowwwwhhhoooooo....I get Craig as foreplay and Albob as main event!!!!!! Now who can I have for nibblies afterwards??????

Craig...I have a sister who is from the same cast as your step-son, unfortunately there comes a time when you have to step back and wipe your hands of the whole problem.....When everything turns to shyte and they finially see the real world, its too late for sorry!!! You sound like your in for some stormy seas, hang tough though....it will work out ......!!!! Until then...you can get any amount of cyber hugs from me.......as a form of stress release of course...that and you can come work in my front yard without your shirt on!!!!!

Posted by: craig777

Thanks Essy, I will take all the hugs I can get, especially from someone with your ahem attributes.

Well if I am foreplay, and then Albob, once he finishes in 10 seconds I should be ready for nibblies.

Oh, and I would love to work in your front yard without my shirt on.

Posted by: esmerelda

Not a problem....you see...Im NOT on a diet!!!! But for some strange reason.....when I get hungry around this time of the night...cos its like 11:30 in the evening over here....and theres nothing on the tv.....and the other half has gone to bed and stated quite specifically that Im not to wake him up!!!!! Hell night time gardening in the 'a-la-natural' sounds quite inviting!!!!!

Posted by: craig777

Well I am going to work out today, but I am not sure what I am going to do. My legs still hurt, my back is still sore. I did Chest yesterday. I will probably do shoulders today, or arms. Probably shoulders.

Posted by: craig777

Did shoulders last friday, and I am off now to do legs. I have a bad sunburn from this past weekend. This should be loads of fun.

Posted by: ALBOB

I had to wait to reply so I could hear how the workout went with that wonderful sunburn.

If I said I was laughing WITH you and not AT you, you'd know I was lying so I won't even bother.

I did get out and mow my lawn this weekend and the tops of my legs got a bit burned from sitting on the tractor. Had a bit of friction from my shorts while Spinning this morning but NOTHING like what you must have felt. Sorry man, but thanks for the laugh.

Posted by: craig777

Yea, what can I say it hurts a lot. The simpathy is overwhelming.

There was a girl at the gym today. Had to look at her several times to make sure it was female. Looked like a guy. She had huge arms. Grossed me out.

Posted by: ALBOB

Did you ask her for proof?

Posted by: craig777

She might have hurt me. I don't mess around with women that look like that.

Posted by: ALBOB

I don't blame ya'. I'm always afraid she'll grab me and prove she's hung better than I am.

Posted by: craig777

Hey Albob, just helping you out here. Did you see the new pics by fraziej or whatever her alias is. Very nice. Thought you might want to pornalize there.

Posted by: ALBOB

Hmmmmmmmmmm...............No, haven't had time to explore new journals yet but I'll make a point of it right now. Thanks.

Pornalize? Why, whatever do you mean????

Posted by: esmerelda

This is starting to sound like a lonely hearts meeting!!!! Poor babies ...all that pain....and no one to kiss it all better!!!!!!!1

Posted by: craig777

Well, I don't know about kissing if that would make it feel better, but if you rubbed down my whole body with some aloe vera, that would feel really good.

Posted by: ALBOB

I'll take kisses!!!! I'll take kisses !!!!

Posted by: esmerelda

Actually the best remedy for sunburn.....is to mash the leaf of the aloe ......mix it with cool water, place it in a spray bottle...and leave it in the fridge!!!! 1 part aloe to 5 parts water!!!! Then spray some on the burnt area when needed...it also helps with other bites or scratches!!! Pick the mum on the thread!!!!

For you Craig...you'd first have to strip down to nothing...then I'd apply liberal doses of tlc on you!!!!!!!!!!

Albob....you know you'd end up with much much more than just kisses!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: craig777

Hey, wait your turn she is giving me a whole body rub down. Oh yea, right there, oh, oh, oh, OH YEA!!!!

OK Albob your turn.

Thanks for the advice Essy.

Posted by: Miss LeDix

There has been so much pornality in every journal I have visited today! I just looked about several posts and not one mention of how workouts or nutrition is going. Oh well! Seems like you are having fun here!

Posted by: ALBOB

Hey, I mentioned my pathetic workout...........................in between pornal comments.

Posted by: craig777

Hey my leg workout is up there somewhere that I did yesterday.

Today I just did arms.

10 sets of 5 reps superset

Seated dumbbell curls with seated dumbbell tricep extensions over head

Curls 40lb dumbbells
Tricep extensions 35lb dumbbells

10 sets of 5 reps superset

Preacher curls with close arm hammer bench press

Preacher curls 90lb bar
Hammer bench elbows in 160lbs

Tricep extensions cable
60lbs 3sets of 12 trying to explode down and slow up.

Weighed in this morning at 212, but waist is almost back down to a 33. Doing good I think.

Measured my arms about a month ago, they were 17 1/8" Gotta get the 1/8" in, worked hard for it.

Posted by: ALBOB

Holy crap that's a lot of sets for arms!!!

Do you actually grow with that workout??? Hey, if it works for you then I'm sure not slamming but WOW, my arms would look like toothpicks if I did all that.

Posted by: craig777

It seems like a lot, but you never ever get to failure. Mke, my PT before he disappeared, started me on that, and yes I grew about 3/4" in 2 months. I go as heavy as I can without failure. I threw in the cable tricep extensions today. Not part of the workout with Mike. I can't stand not going to failure, without the burn I don't feel like I am doing anything. I think that my arms are adapting because the growth has slowed considerably.

I need a new arm workout, but I don't know what to start quite yet.

Posted by: craig777

Another thing on my seated dumbbell curls, most people curl to the front. I curl out to the side like this ---()---.

Posted by: ALBOB

OK, shame on me for assuming. I assumed you went to failure. Have you tried splitting your bi's and tri's? Work bi's with back and tri's with chest. That's the way my split runs and it's GREAT in the time saving department. Once you're done working back or chest the arm muscles are already pumped and then it only takes two or three max sets to really polish them off. I've also seen Prince mention he does back and tri's or chest and bi's. I've never tried that but he seems to swear by it.

Posted by: craig777

That is what I used to do before I went to see Mike. I had back/bis chest/tris. My arms weren't doing anything and then I put chest by itself, back by itself, and arms separate. I have had great growth since I went to see Mike, it is probably just as much that I changed my workout, if not more, than the workout he gave me.

I never knew how important it was to change your workout every two months or so, but I am a firm believer now. You have to do it. When I used to do back and then bis, by the end I couldn't curl 20lb dumbbells. Now I use 40s and they are getting a little too light. I started with 70lb barbell for preachers and today on my last set I went to 100lb. With tricep extensions I started with 25lb dumbbells and now use 35s, and the close arm bench started with 140 and now use 160. I used to struggle with the lighter weights when I started, and now they would be a joke.

The workout I did yesterday on legs is one that I read in M&F that Nasser El Sonbaty does. I like him. He does high reps on legs and lighter weights. He says that there are guys that use a lot more weight than he does, but his legs are awsome. He does 501. 5 seconds to lower on squats, 0 pause and then explodes up. I like this type of training because it works very well for me. I have tried the immense weights with 2-3 reps. It did nothing.

Well, to answer your question, yes I have tried it.

I am starting to post like Sosunni, what is happening to me.

If you start LOOKING like her I'll be impressed.

Since my knee started giving me problems I've become more and more a fan of the lighter weight/higher rep workouts for legs. I avoid explosive movement for that very reason though. I'll do a 503 type lift.

Craig.....I've got a really good arms work out for you....it involves push-ups and me under you!!!!! Ermm did I actually type that?!!! Either that....or I could come over and test your true strenght!!!!!

Posted by: craig777

I am going to do chest today.

It is already not a good day. I am redoing my kitchen and I purchased a new counter top. It is too long by an inch. The counter top place keeps telling me that I just don't know how to install it, and they should install it for $400.00 dollars. Well they were supposed to meet me at my house this morning from between 9-10. I sat there the entire hour. I pulled away from my house at 10:00 exactly. Then I get back to work and I have a message that they were sitting at my house from 9:45 on and where was I. I called back to the counter top place and said no no they were not there at 9:45. I have just about had it with this place.

Posted by: craig777

I threatened them with Albob, and they are giving me a full refund, but I still need a counter top. So, my wife says lets build our own tile counter top, when she says we it really means me. I laughed, and she said why are you laughing, and then I cried.

I love to make furniture. I just finished a mission style buffet for my wife, but she has me digging up the yard.

Today I am going to do back.

Butterfly, you wouldn't have to swallow for me.

Posted by: ALBOB

One question and one statement. Question: What happend to the counter top that's too long? OK, a second question. Why can't you just cut off the extra inch? Statement: You do NOT want a tile counter top!!!

Speaking from experience, the grout is a BIATHC to keep clean!!! Especially in the kitchen. Think of every single thing that's EVER been spilled on your current counter top and now imagine trying to get those stains out of grout. I don't care how well you seal it, it WILL stain. And if you have pets, even if they don't get on the counter top, their hair WILL. It takes an act of God to get animal hair to un-stick from grout. If you're gonna lay out the extra $$$ anyway, go for a solid material like Corian, granite or cultured marble. Yeah it's pricey but you'll be a lot happier in the long run.

Posted by: craig777

Albob,

The old counter top is in my garage. Oh well. I tried many many many times to get them to come out and take it back and cut off 3/4s of an inch. They kept telling me over and over and over that the counter top was fine, that I just didn't know how to install it properly. For them to install was $400.00. I told them over and over that I can measure and the old counter top was 89", the new counter top was 90 1/4". They gave me half an inch to scribe to the wall. If I took that entire 1/2 off it is still 3/4 too long.

As far as the tile counter top is concerned. I know I know, oh believe me I know. I will lose that argument.

Posted by: ALBOB

You still didn't answer Question #2. You've built furniture so I thing it's safe to assume you own a saw a MIGHT even know how to use it. Get cuttin' man!!!

Posted by: esmerelda

Butterfly....question...do you like eating seafood???? Have you eaten oysters a-la-natural???? Same same only one isnt as firm and is warm!!!!! Great for the skin.....added protein as well!!! Now that I've made everyone ill on the thread.......

Albob darlin' why dont you just trot on down and give Craig a hand...I would...only by the time I would get there.....his wife might not be too happy........I mean cos she would have to wait sooo long to use the kitchen....nothing else...honest!!!!

Posted by: craig777

How do you cut a counter top that is a total of 132" long (outside dimension), with a circular saw. It would have to come off the end with the cap. So I would knock off the cap, and try to cut it with my circular saw. I just wanted them to take it and cut it on their huge band saw. I do have a lot of tools, but nothing to hold that counter top. That is when my wife got the great idea of building a tile counter top.

Here is a rocking horse that I built for my nephew 5 years ago.

Posted by: esmerelda

Oh my God!!!!! What a dream!!! I have one little girl who would just kill to have one of those...mind you her mum would kill to have the maker as well!!!!! I mean...let me re-phrase that...my other half is about as good as a headless chook when it comes to making things.....I ended up having to hang the security door after waiting for 6 mths for him to do it!!!!! Can I come and play with your tools????????

Posted by: ALBOB

I'm great on cars but wood gives me fits. I'm SOOOO jealous of that kind of talent. The horse looks great. The horse's ass in the background has GOT to go though.

Guess I didn't fully understand the logistics. I was thinking of a flat slab that's a bit too long. Thought you could just whack off the end. You know, give it the Lorainna Bobbitt treatment.

Posted by: craig777

Thanks guys,

Essy, you can play with my tool, er I mean tools.

Gee thanks.....I may need a little practice in how to use them all.. but being such a nice man...Im sure you wouldnt mind showing me!!!

Butterfly, are you saying that I don't look like I am 21 years old.

I will be 42 this year. I have the 21 year old kids at the gym asking me for advice.

Thanks Sosunni, hope you are having fun on your vacation.

What did you guys think of the horse I made, picture is up above.

Posted by: craig777

OK, here is what happened last night.

My 18 year old stepson's place of employment called and asked if he was ever going to come back to work. Well we thought that he had been working all week. He hasn't been showing up, and he goes to this bar and hangs out with his friends. Well we are tired of asking, begging, pleading with him to pay his insurance on his truck. My wife called the bar and had them page him, he was there. She told him to come home right now, and when he got home she took the keys away from the truck. Well he went berserk, the cuss words streaming from his mouth. Calling his mother a stupid fucking bitch. He looked like he was about to start breaking things, he went upstairs to his room and slammed the door and I could hear that he was about to go on a rampage, so I went upstairs and grabbed him. I had my arms around his rib cage with his arms pinned. I carried him downstairs and out the front door and let go. He turned around to me and called me a son of a bitch, and was going to punch me. When he did that, I am not like this, I was about the tear him apart, and he knew it. He ran like the wind. At least he isn't that stupid. Well he went walking down the street in our neighborhood, screaming at the top of his lungs I hate you, you stupid fucking bitch.

I know this tore my wife's heart out. She raised him for 18 years, 6 years by herself until she met me. She tried to be the best mom they could ever have wanted. No one has kids wanting them to grow up to be like that. Unfortunately their father is just like that. He calls my wife a stupid fucking bitch.

Well that is how my night went last night.

Posted by: Fade

Sorry to hear that.

I'm sooo glad my stepson is such a good kid.

Posted by: craig777

Thanks Fade.

Posted by: Fade

Does he have alot of contact with his dad?

Not sure if I could let someone slide if they called Butterfly that. Refering to the dad.

I'm sure you'd like to beat the kids ass....I would...but that's your wife son and unfortunatly it would hurt her even more. A rock and a hard place.

Posted by: craig777

I think he was 10 when they divorced, so he saw a lot of his dad getting drunk and hitting my wife. My wife's two kids spend every Sunday with their dad. Unfortunately he has become exactly like his dad.

No, I really don't want kick his ass. I went way out of my way to be a big brother to them. I didn't try to be their father. I had my rules for my house that they had to obey, but most things I left to my wife and I would back her up.

Posted by: Fade

Hitting uh? Guy must be a winner.

Someone needs to beat him for a change. Sometimes the bully needs to get bullied. Payback for hitting his wife and corrupting the kids. Just my impassive view.

Posted by: craig777

I agree, he has called and ripped me apart, and threatened me. I told my wife that I would never ever let anyone touch her ever again. I will never start anything with him, because he is their dad, and he is not worth having the possibility of the police becoming involved.

Posted by: esmerelda

Craig...wanna adopt me????? Man I hear where your coming from!!!! Sometimes you've just got to be the one to shove them out into the real world and let them sink!!!! Its only then, that they actually see how cushy they had it!!!!

Your wife is one lucky lady.....I know most men would have flattened the sod for mouthing off at his mum.....you did the best thing.....showed him what a real man is!!!!

My advice.....give your lovely lady all the attention she can handle then just for good measure...give her just a bit more!!!! As a mum we hate to think we have failed....and we tend to blame ourselves when the shyte hits the fan.....He's a big boy...wanting to play in the big world......so let him learn the hard way.....but spoil the one who needs it the most....as Im sure you only know too well how to do it!!!!!!!!! *Hint....dozen roses....and a meal in the bedroom!!!*

Posted by: butterfly

Wow, Craig, I'm sooooo sorry to here about last night.

That is such a tough situation to be in, but if it helps... I think you did the right thing!

One of my 3 brothers had problems holding a job during those 18-20 years (all his bosses were stupid and had it in for him

)... so my parents got him an apartment (paid 2 months rent) and, as nicely as possible, helped him move his things. He's one of those people that had to hit rock bottom to find his way.

He's doing GREAT now... so there is hope for your step-son!!!

I'm sorry he hurt his mom... she sounds like such a wonderful person and certainly did not deserve that treatment, esp from her own child.

Take care!!

Posted by: craig777

Thanks Essy and Butterfly. No one ever said that life would be easy as we all know, but you just have to take each problem as it comes.

Essy thanks I will get her a dozen roses, and as for my meal in the bedroom she probably isn't in the mood for that.

and oh yes she blames herself.

Posted by: esmerelda

Please tell her from me...not to!!!! (Blame herself that is!!) Our kids set their own paths....our place as parents is only to be there for them when they fall....if they dont trip once in a while .... then we know we arnt doing our job!!!

I have 3 wonderful girls....the youngest two are hearing impared....not the same problem as you....but the guilt that clouded me was unbelievable!!! It almost destroyed my marriage!!!! But be sure to know...the harder the fight...the stronger the love!!!! Sometimes all us mums really want is to be held.....nothing more...nothing less!!!!

Posted by: craig777

You are right Essy, and I hold her and try to comfort her, but I know that to raise a child for 18 years and then have him do that just rips her heart out. She has done everything for him. I know that the bond a mother has with her children is very strong. To remember the days when they are babies, laughing and playing, and then to have him walk down the street screaming you stupid fucking bitch to his mother. Just makes you wonder.

Posted by: Sosunni

Craig, I'm so sorry... Kids are hard enough.. but step kids... harder. The good thing here is you have your wife's support when it comes to discplining her child. I didn't have that luxury... and we're no longer together primarily because of that... and he was a controlling asshole...

Also... although I never said it to her face, I WAS that kid! After mom's divorce when I was young and a dad that didn't give a crap and with the remarriage I went to 8 schools in 5 yeras, was kicked out at 18, dropped out of high school, had 7 jobs in one year.. did drugs, hung out with the wrong crowd and then came to the realization that I didn't want to be that person. There's more to it but that's the nutshell.

What I'm getting at while I'm not trying to take away from your own situation is that we do change. We do wake up and realize that we need to be something other than what we are... you just have to trust in him that he WILL pull through this... and yes, the best thing you can do now.. maybe help him find a place to live... get out on his own... if he wants to be grown up... then why stay at home. He also needs.. no, I take that back... your WIFE also needs him to respect her. She's done everything she KNOWS to be a good parent and he has no right and no entitlement to say any of these things to her... BUT ... he only knows what he knows as well.. which is the behaviour from his dad.

I agree with Essy.. your wife needs YOu right now. Just be there, listen... and you don't have to fix it... just maybe make suggestions.. get him a room to rent... tell him he has to pay for it and unless he's going to have respect for the two of you, he can't live there.

I'm sorry Craig. I know this really doesn't help... and I know I have no bio-kids... but I was this person.

Hope my 2 cents can help.

Sweetheart, that helps a lot. To know that you were that kid, and you turned it around makes me think that he can do it also.

and how did you know that I like to fix things. Did I post that before.

The back picture is the one that I posted when we started the challenge. I have on my white speedo. I was comparing pics from Feb until this one and I have grown a lot in three months. Mike helped me a bunch.

I don't know if I could ever post my naked butt like Fade does.

Thanks sugar, I am very proud of the horse. I gave it to my nephew when he was first born. My brother asked me how much I thought it was worth. I told him I spent $365.00 on raw white oak. It took me four months to build. There is no hardware in that horse except for the four screws holding the horse to the rockers. Everything else is wooden pegs. I told him he would not be able to buy that horse for under $2000.00 probably. The rockers are 4 feet long.

You're a guy. That's what guys feel they need to do! That's why there's often communication issues. We don't want you to fix it... we want you to listen, acknowledge, rub our back,kiss our forehead and tell us that it will be ok... it's really that simple!

Good morning to all. Hope everyone had a great memorial day. My truck wouldn't start this morning, and I had to get a tow truck to jump it. I think it just needs new batteries since the alternator seems to charging but the batteries aren't holding the charge. So today I am going to have to get new batteries at lunch. No workout today unless I try this evening. Didn't workout all weekend unless you count planting Dwarf Youpan Hollies all day Saturday.

Oh, and I see we lost all posts after 2:30 on Friday.

Two batteries for my truck, $172.00

Originally posted by craig777 Two batteries for my truck, $172.00

I know you said the alternator's working but then, what caused the batteries to go dead?

Posted by: craig777

My truck is 7 years old, so I guess the batteries decided it was time to not hold the charge. I don't know, but the alternator is working. I drive a Ford F350 7.3 litre turbo diesel. It takes two batteries to start it.

Posted by: ALBOB

The 5-cylinder in my Mercedes isn't nearly that big but it's still got a pretty heavy duty battery, those deisels are HIGH compression and need the extra OOMPH to turn them over. You're truck's 7 years old, does that mean the batteries are that old too? If so, yeah, I guess it was time to get them changed. Otherwise I'd make sure the voltage regulator is working OK. The alternator may be putting out the juice but if the voltage regulator isn't working then none of it will get to the batteries. (Or not enough anyway.) Also, you live in a high humidity area, right. How are your cables? Both the alternator and voltage regulators may be working but if the cables/connectors are corroded the juice isn't getting to where it needs to go. Actually, I hope I'm wrong about all this stuff seeing as how you already spent the $$$.

Posted by: craig777

Yes the batteries are 7 years old. The connections to the batteries looked just fine, and if I run the truck I can start it again a few hours later. When I got up this morning it wouldn't turn over. I haven't put the batteries in yet, so I can always take them back. I am not sure of how good of batteries they put in the truck in the factory. It is probably time to get new ones. Oh well.

We have had a lot of rain lately, but I wouldn't call San Antonio high humidity. I grew up in Michigan where a normal day was upper 80s in percent humidity. San Antonio is normally around 50 percent.

Just stopping by to say hi to you Craig! Was that kickboxing class really your first cardio in three months (besides the love!)? Sounds like you got a great workout, and I'm sure it didn't hurt that you were getting compliments! Have you ever taken a spinning class?

Today was a high-rep day, ey? Chest and legs together in one day, you don't see that very often. Do you think you'll be sore tomorrow? And how long did all this take you? I mean three sets of 25 of four different exercises...and that was just chest! Wowza!

Morning Miss LeDix, yes that was pretty much my only cardio for 3 months. I have done a little, but very little.

It was only 25 reps of 3 sets each, so it took about exactly an hour. It was chest, hams, and calves. I need to do more on my calves, so I am going to try and get them in more than once a week.

All three are sore today, yea!

I was thinking of doing kick boxing again today, but will have to see. I am tired today.

I have never done a spinning class.

Well last Friday all I did was quads.

Saturday I did something called boot camp, it is 1hr and 15minutes long. It kicked my butt. Why do I always do these classes that are taught by women with attitudes.

I won't be able to work out today, had to take my truck in to have the brakes looked at.

I am embarrassed to admit that I let the pads wear down to nothing, and I had metal on metal.

Only on the front, back was still good.
