Where does the time go??

**Bertuzzi** · 01-02-2015, 07:02 PM

Over the last few years I have been absent from this great community... poking my head in and reading a few things here and there and maybe even commenting once-in-a-while.

I just wanted to make a post and say it's great to see so many of you from back when I was new here still active and helping. Your dedication to this community and helping people learn is simply incredible. I don't want to mention names because of course I'd forget somebody, but you truly are amazing at how unselfishly you give your time to help those you do not even know. Not just the older guys but the new guys who I do not know and those who do not know me. I really love this lifestyle and I am grateful to those who keep this place alive and I just wanted to say thanks!

Over the last few years I've gone from being in shape and working out all the time to getting married having a kid and getting really fat with no visits to the gym. In October 2014 I started the journey to recapture my true self I've already seen incredible results (muscle memory is a great thing). I look forward to logging in more often again and become a true student of this world especially with my new goals... one of them being power lifting and being the strongest man I know.

Just want to reiterate that it's great to have this community and resource to plug in to and learn from such knowledgeable people... to all of you who know who you are, your time is appreciated.

Thanks for being who you are and let's all make 2015 a year to remember.

No.... Just KP we see each other a few times a year. He has talked to Cal more recently than I have. Has he not been around??

No. He's been MIA for the most part. Personal issues he's working through. Both KP and Kawi are both "retired" from the board. Still active members, just never post. Most likely due to "real life" having a significant impact on disposable time usually spent here on the board.

There are a few other Canadians from a few years back that are still here, but the three I mentioned are the ones you and I are most familiar with.

So how's life?

**Times Roman** · 01-03-2015, 12:20 AM

yeah, me too. been a long day

talk later......

..........and who gives a fvck what other people think? you and I have been members on this board longer than 98% of everyone else here.

The only thing my wife hates about this site.... the girl pics

LOL

**zempey** · 01-03-2015, 04:43 PM

enjoy every moment, before you know it they are grown and moved on with their own lives. I have two girls, 19 and 15, the older one has moved out and the younger one will most likely go away to school in a couple years. Congrats on the baby girl, they are a whirlwind of emotions.

BG · 01-03-2015, 05:02 PM

Welcome back and yes, my wife always questions what site Im on because of the pics.
