I'm back. Was there ever any doubt? Edition

Greetings minions. I told you all I wouldn't be gone for too long. I know what this place would look like if I left you alone in here for an extended period of time. The Minion In Charge of Party Planning would have called every number in the book and told whoever answered that The Beast was away and that it was time for minions to play.
So here I am, ready to establish order in the burrow once again. My flattop is gone, making my head a little rounder. My new glasses arrived, making my eyes a little squarer. I'm still the same old Beast, more or less, though.

I took the time I needed to make appointments for my and to spend some one-on-one time with him. I tried to make his weekend enjoyable and I think I accomplished that.
I also took care of some things that I needed to do for myself, so now everybody is doing a little better.

The Dr. told me last week that I may have some liver troubles going on. I could only assume it's due to my pre-workout supplements since I rarely drink. I had blood drawn for a liver panel and should know more this week.
Just to be on the safe side, I've gone cold turkey on the old man juice I've been drinking to give me that extra pep in the gym. I actually feel quite a bit better without it. I guess I had been relying on it for so long that my body became bored with it.
Between cutting that out and changing my diet, I'm feeling much less sluggish than I have in recent months. This entire turning over a new leaf thing is starting to pay off in more ways than one.

The Beast found himself a good book over the weekend, full of the stuff I love. 680 pages worth of mostly useless trivia and odd facts and figures. I dig that stuff though and thought I would share a little with you that is appropriate for this site.

Why long time spouses tend to start looking like one another:

Research from various institutes has shown that people tend to seek out a mate that looks simliar to them to begin with. Whether that is done knowingly or not varies. Either way, the majority of people begin a relationship with somebody that looks similar to them to begin with.
Over time, couples share the same emotional ups and downs, and as a result, the same facial expressions. This leads to similar wrinkling of the facial features, as well as adopted expressions from one to the other. Those knowing looks and inside secrets that a husband and wife share, have the end result of creating a matching set of life's character lines on both of them.

That's a rough approximation of the stuff I was reading about earlier. I'll more than likely draw ideas for further posts from a book like this. It's sort of like an Uncle John's Bathroom Reader. If any of you also enjoy random reading, and have never read an Uncle John's, I highly recommend them. They're a load of fun. Get it? A load.... of fun.....Bathroom Reader.....load..... ....... nevermind.

OK... I know folks are busy doing stuff for the holiday, so I won't be long winded on my first day back. I hope you all had an excellent weekend yourselves. The Beast is back, and I'll deliver the goods!

BEAST OUT

Why thank-you btdt..... and you are a very lovely torso. That's what I can see in your picture at least.

btdt.......... sounds like the noise Twiki made on Buck Rogers.

"btdtbtdtbtdt.... sorry Buck!"

Hee Hee Hee I like the real court transcripts. It's amazing how stupid some people, including the lawyers, sound in court.

Actual transcript.... (paraphrased)

Lawyer - So you say that at that point, you walked down the flight
of stairs.

Defendant - Yes sir, I did.

Lawyer - Now these stairs... did they also go up?

Well thank-you Kath. If I hadn't loaned a friend $7500.00 for a lawyer, which i'm starting to think I'll never see again, I would just make an appointment for eye surgery.

LOL.... Thank-you Classy... but leaving the glasses on usually ends with them being covered in various female fluids and blurring my vision something terrible!

    Quoting  :

The supplement that is more than likely the culprit wasn't for bulk. It's a pre-workout energy booster which elevates everything to the point that you want to workout or explode.
I do have a protein shake after each workout, but I've alwasy kept away from the weight gainers. Those have enough calories to feed a family of 4 for a day.

Psssssst I kind of liked the flattop. The new look is great, though.

I could use some of that "you want to work out or explode" substance.

The flattop is never gone for long Smartass. I just get tired of sweating now and then, so i get rid of as much hair as I can for a month or so. It doesn't take very long for my hair to grow back in.
There are plenty of those products on the market nowadys. GNC carries at least a dozen types on any given day. NoXplode, C4 Extreme (which is what I was taking), JAC3D (makes my face actually tingle), just to name a few.
Just don't take them for an extended period of time like me. Just use it on those days when you really don't feel like getting in the gym.

Thank-you lady.

I'm sure deep down my son enjoys our time together. He just doesn't show it much on the surface. Whatever I do, or however much time I spend, I'm always lacking in his eyes for some reason.

I make mistakes, I am out of control & at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best. ~Marilyn
