gwcaton · 07-17-2004, 12:41 PM

Be glad when this afternoon is over , time to go marry off the stepdaughter!

And i mean that in a good way ! LOL

JerseyDevil · 07-17-2004, 07:39 PM

Congratulations Gary! Big day huh? Thankfully my stepdaughter is only 11. Not quite ready to marry her off just yet (sometimes it would be a welcome option though).

Thanks Jersey ! You have a few more years before you have to worry about such things , but there is still plenty to worry about before that .

Well, thats done ! One more kid to marry off and all 3 will be married. Not really pushing him though. He is in no position to be getting married anyway. Too young , too in debt, too immature. But I love him to death !

Congrats on the wedding! Did you have a good time??

JD,
Thanks, appreciate it . Figured I better go for it cause the PR's might be few and far between when I go back to a cut.

thanks Rock,
I just went back and checked on 2-22 I was doing 205 x 6 so 50 pounds in 5 months. Hmmmm doesn't sound that great or is it ? I don't know. Doesn't really matter I guessthe results are the important thing and if I could get the same results with less weight that would be fine too

But it is cool (and good for the ego) to post the BIG #'s

Rocco32 · 07-19-2004, 06:30 PM

50 lbs in 5 months PLUS 6 freaking reps. That is really damn good!!!

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
