Hey Doc, you’re missing all the fun. 2009 has taken off with a “Big Bang”. Everyone is up to big things. Hitting the PR’s and training hard for the competitions. Hope things are going good for you. Drop us a line, you’re missed!
Can’t help but worry about Doc. Either he has fallen back into the abis or his 20 year old girl friend does not leave him any with any extra time. I’m rooting for the oversexed 20 yr old…
It occured to me that everytime I post my Sunday updates people see your thread back up top and think you may be back to posting. So take a few minutes, dismount from the afore mentioned 20 year old, and drop us a line.
I’ve been noticing a lot of new posters lately. Guess more people are starting to lift, or continuing to lift, in their middle years.
Nothing really special to report this week. I’ll try and do something spectacular for next week.
come out, come out, wherever you are
Doc, for what it is worth, I’ve gone crazy myself now. Need some company 
Sunday and I guess everyone’s watching the superbowl. Take a look through the threads. Some more very strong people have started posting. I myself am performing superhuman feats of strength unmatched in the annals of liftdom.
As a matter of fact, my feats of strength are only match by my astonishing sexual prowess (involving only human, nubile, but of age, females). In between lifting and having sex with multiple human, nubile, but of age, female partners, I’ve been keeping busy solving world hunger, by eating, fixing the economy, by spending, and bring peace to the middle east, by staying out of there.
If you have any doubts of the validity of any of these statements I guess you’ll just have to post a reply expressing your disbelief. I sincerely hope you will. have a good week.
Darn, I was hoping Doc was back.
Hey everyone.
I still can’t believe how this thread goes on without me when I go into one of my total disappearances. It kinda does a Rorschack on some of you guys, but for the most part I know you all care and wonder what the hell happened to me.
Too much work, too much personal drama, medical problems, house foreclosed, evicted from my rental when I reconciled with the wife and she brought my beloved Great Dane back. Got evicted on Christmas Day, btw, lovely landlord.
I havent touched a weight since I got evicted, we live in the boonies and the local World's closed down. Today my son and I bought a complete set of dumbells to start our home gym, gonna take it a step at a time.
As crazy as this sounds, guys, I love my wife and she loves me...and that rekindling of our relationship has been the main reason I have disappeared...I put my precious free time into rebuilding our marriage and staying connected with my son, who is still the greatest. My only major accomplishment is that I beat him on several tough songs on hard level Guitar Hero...my old piano fingers come in handy.
My perspective on life continues to change as my life goes through what seems to be an endless trial of adversity. I have come to cherish very simple things in life and let go of almost all of the materialistic or self-centered interests I had. I'm damn near Buddhist, but I still like our big plasma TV I picked up for next to nothing at an auction, and enjoyed the hell out of the Superbowl.
I have no clue what will come with my lifting dreams, they are almost forgotten unfortunately. However I started really missing it this week and today I have a four day weekend, my first time off of any substance in many months. It seems when I get a genuine break from the "coal mine" (my code name for the hospital), I seem to feel instantly not only better but the iron bug returns.
I have done well at work and I get lots of positives for the good work I do with kids, especially teenagers. I feel like I have a family of several hundred...abused kids with no families, they seem to latch on to me and I seem to be able to help them heal a bit.
I'll keep in touch... Doc
Dont forget us, we’re your family too.
Damn its good to have you back.
As someone else noted, the weaklings are about to start leaving their resolutions, and cheap weights will be available on ebay, craig’s list, and everywhere else.
Love life, and lift when you want!
Old Lardass
For the most part? And wasn’t Rorschach the shrill voiced guy on welcome back Kotter? Being serious, briefly, real glad you’re back. El Famila always comes first. All the shit you went through will be worth it if you get the family back together.
Sounds like you getting there and loving your wife never sounds crazy. Very good that you’re in a job you’re enjoying.
Keep in touch if you get a chance.
BTW, I kinda exaggerated some of my exploits here. And I can’t help it if the ink blot is,no,bad response, I meant looks like, my first girlfriend. How do I end my Sundays now?
I am so happy for you, Doc. You took a beating, got knocked down and then got up and brushed the dirt off. You made the right move, family is power and strength.
You’ll keep lifting. Your reasons and goals may change. The basic reason for lifting however will never change. A healthy mind needs a healthy body. Once your mind is health and focused once again, you will turn your attention to the body.
I’m just glad you’re back and healthy with an awesome new outlook on life. Stay strong the alternative really sucks.

Doc, I’m glad you found your way back. Hope the efforts with wife, iron, son and the kids nourish your soul.
Sounds like you’ve done good. Finding priorities and surviving them can be a good thing.
Doc, welcome back and I’m glad things are looking better. All the best, Stu
Well if no one else will admit it I will… We’re pissed. All this time with no word? How do you expect us to continue to feel good about ourselves unless you regail us with your stories of woe. And now your happy? The world has turned upside down again… All is lost…
Good to have ya back… really
