Is this for real?
Get paid to lose weight and or body mass?
I miss the days when the board had some good off topic discussions and thru our collective resources we got to the bottom of the truthfulness (or not) of stuff.

Hey Ted!
 
No doubt that entropy is the fundamental principle of the cosmos - I have to basically agree with your declaration (long, slow, sad). However, I do not accept it! My son is graduating from Penn State lawe school at the top of his class in May- YAY! Anyone associated with this board as long as you have knows what effort I put into this kid to get him to this point. He is my legacy! :)
Hey WoW, spursfan101!

Jerry Buss died today, great loss to the NBA, between him drafting Magic Johnson and the Celtics drafting what's his name, they brought the NBA from obscurity to national prominence

I am doing well, all things considered.  My relationship with all my children is really strong and positive, one of love and mutual respect and trust.  I am developing a strong and positive relationship with my daughter-in-law.  I am very happy and thankful for all of that.
 
As regards ex-wife #2, well we barely speak, and we have no relationship.  I am doing better with regards to my divorce, but the deep bitterness remains.  My counselor said to me a couple of years ago that perhaps I am holding onto the bitterness because that is all I have left.  Perhaps that is the case, but I will never allow her to "F" me ever again.  If my bitterness is my defense mechanism to keep that from happening I am content with it.  I am alone and I am content with that at this point.  I keep everyone at arms length, with the exception of my children.  Maybe I am creating lonely future for myself, but I will deal with the future, in the future.

As far as the rest of things, I am working hard, using a number of the things I learned in my MBA everyday in my work life.  I get great satisfaction from that.

In my off times I have been working on a project that I has interested me for a long time.  It is about evaluating NBA draft prospects.  I have learned a lot, and expect to learn a lot more.  I hope at some point to write a blog.  I could probably start now, but I want refine my tools and ideas more.  Every time I think I am making a breakthrough I look at it a different way, and my models and concepts start to change.  Each time that I happens I think things improve, but I need to keep on working on it.  It is something I am working on with my oldest son, and he is just as interested in it, which makes it all the more enjoyable.

Reality, I hope things are going well for you!

Am I a better person today?  I will let others judge that, but I do know that my life with my children is infinitely better today than it was the last couple years of my marriage, and in all reality that is all that matters to me.  As I told my ex a few months back, when she gave me a pathetic, half-hearted, back-handed apology asking me to give her a full pardon for everything that has happened.

OWN YOUR CHOICES, OWN YOUR BEHAVIORS, OWN YOUR BULLSHIT. 

This place will never get any better until that is what we each do.
zig how are you doing today?  Hoping your life with offspring continued to get "infinitely better."

When i first sat down eons ago as we all typed posts, i knew behind the keyboards were real people with real problems.  Because of the sucky system we live under, i guessed that some if not many of us would undergo serious trials as time went by.  Sadly, sure enough you and W.O.W. had to go thru one of the biggest stressers, a divorce.  With both of them being bad ones.  Not that there are ever good ones.  Dabods accurately stated that even when not governmentally married, those who cohab for years undergo some of the same exact issues and pains when breaking up.

Myself?  I *got* cancer in 1998.  However, even tho both the wholistic joint in Asia and the traditional corporation U.S. hospital system thought i had it, apparently i did not as further tests months later showed none.  Did it go away?  Were the tests inaccurate?  Unknown and as you can surmise i kinda really didn't and don't care -it was gone.  But the aftermath of it was i got to know what it feels like to have cancer, even if only for two months.  The cancer *came back* in 2008, but this time i did not freak out and waited a couple months.  Again, whatever it was, it was not cancer.

So would like to know how you zig are doing today.  W.O.W. would you mind posting if she is at least civil, semi-civil, okay tolerable as regards custody arrangements?  Sorry to hear she chose to leave.
