I usually have to pay in about 5k come taxes. Gov't why you take my money? Oh ya, to pay gov workers retirement and for grants to study llamas and ****.

Hey now! I take care of those llamas and ****! But gov't doesn't pay me to do it. We vet residents get paid so effing little they give us a break!

[BrotherWolf]

^^Yup. I always go for Niman Ranch meat when I have a choice. Wonderful stuff. They carry it in quite a few of our local markets too.

Yeah I am a big fan of NR
there was a californian company that was trying to compete with NR I forgot the name but it was pretty close and a bit cheaper too

the best steaks i think, are from texas. i went on a biz trip a few years ago, and it was...out of a dream, this steak. lol melted like butter, had such a delicious taste with no need for salt or pepper. makes me wonder why the steaks from there are so much better than other parts of the US...hmmm.

yeah come back to texas so you can take me out to a nice steak dinner. Im a weirdo Id rather have a nice burger than a steak

[Lioness27]

Congrats!!!!!



It's a steak place, and unfortunately it's Restaurant Week here in Philly so it's a limited menu, but nothing like a good filet and I know that's one of the choices. I am going to be very hungry when I get there so I will enjoy

I love steak!!!! Enjoy your filet

The best steak I have ever had is a tie between a particular dinner at Saltgrass Steakhouse near my house and The Keg in Niagara Falls Canada.

I love Saltgrass!!!


It's date night tonight with my man so I'm extremely happy

Might be Prather Ranch? I've had their stuff and they are good but the quality isn't as consistent as Niman. Prather is working a lot of the local farmers markets out here and also have a store front in the Ferry Building in SF now.

I finally got a shift change at work. It wasn't exactly what I asked for, but it's good enough for now. Mon-Wed I'm day shift and Thurs & Fri I'm evening. So I've actually been able to see and spend some time with my husband during the week this week. It's been pretty nice.

concealed carry class?
ya know people like to say that a class reunion is not a good reason to lose weight and get in good shape
or bathing suit season or going on a cruise ...

why do they say this??is it a better reason then to just lose weight and exercise but yet have nothing interesting or fun to look forward to down the road???sh*t you just entered my world..months of doing this everyday all winter long with what to look forward to? spring?
Yes I do look forward to that. I like the little flowers that grow at Easter time.



Mrs. H

money struggles are always gonna be there..at least they have been in my world

[itsagoodday]

Thanks all for helping me celebrate the glorious land of BW dips

On another happy note, I now own my very first pair of lifting straps. $9.20 later and I'm so proud Usually my grip is pretty darned good, but it's failing me in my new program due to heavy stuff overload, lol. So it was time for straps. Can't wait to use them... come on Monday!!!

i've never used straps, but now that i'm lifting heavier with deads, i think they might help. i am afraid that i won't wrap them around right, and i'll drop the weight. lol i worry about stuff like this.


happy saturday everyone!!!

I am just happy to be off work today. About to fire up the grill and enjoy this unbelievable weather. February.... 75° and sunny.

[DaniGrrl]

My steak was amazing!!!! We had ordered a bunch of sides but they only brought the asparagus. Which was fine with me - the lobster mac and cheese and au gratin hash browns were not necessary. Though I'm sure they would have been amazing, too. But the chef visited our table and they brought us 3 additional desserts in addition to the desserts that came with our dinners. Being Restaurant Week, there was a set menu with dessert included in the price. They also brought us free adult milkshakes. Extra dessert always makes me happy

[BrotherWolf]

this made me laugh.. not happy but it's funny

[Lioness27]

Texas Roadhouse does make their steaks really good too. How do you prefer yours?
I will usually get mine Medium or medium well depending on the restaurant.

this made me laugh.. not happy but it's funny

so true

[rinitytay]

Lmao. I search people the same day I meet them sometimes, sans add, lololol. No creep What kinda fukkin luck for him to transfer like that once you turn single?! Aw, 6 months is awhile to not see the gym cutie At least it worked out in the end! Mirin your balls to flirt a little. The hiatuses were meant to be GL with your guy!

Haha yeah I know.. serious bad luck but things are so awesome now that I think it was meant to happen. Don't be afraid to flirt a little! Still gotta make em chase it a little though for fun on both of you. haha and thanks!

LBM, you are a gem, don't you ever forget it! We went for our general carry permit...not sure if TN does a concealed? We passed too!!! Hubs got 96% on his shooting and I got 88%..not too bad for having just practiced with handguns 3 weeks and only having shot hub's S&W 40 once before, lol We shared a gun since I haven't picked one out yet...gettting close, but that's not something I want to just buy on a whim It was awesome! Learned alot and having a retired Army rifle expert and a nationally ranked shooter/gunsmith there was a great experience...over 100 years of gun experience teaching you? Priceless 10 of us in the class, half of us were women AND most of them were naturally birthing mamas like me! I LOVED IT!!

And I think it's silly for people to say that some sort of special occasion isn't a good excuse...it helps me keep on track when I have something big coming up. Last time I did that, I did fall off the wagon pretty damn hard, but I'm confident I have learned my lesson from that. So many other factors were coming into play at that time too...different time, different situations. And now that hubs in on the gym train with me, and we have the gym, I feel good that it'll be different this time Hubs got a LOT of crap in high school. Most of the crap-givers are losers now, and hubs just keeps getting better and I want to be where I was a few years ago...strong and tight. And it'll be on the river...which means outside, summer time, south...don't wanna be worrying about having to stuff my fat stuff back in my clothes, LOL.

edit: Not as tight of a pattern as I would have hoped, but the bad guy's day is pretty much ruined

Yeah, it looks like you came pretty close to picking off his left nut. xD

I've been looking around for a new purse buddy myself, but I'll refrain from throwing handgun suggestions at you. We probably don't want to start that.

[Artistry]

I decided it was time to face my iron demons, so this is my first time doing triple digit RDLs since I hurt myself with them a few months ago (Going to be more careful now, obviously). What really makes me happy is that it felt easy.

Also, seeing some tricep/shoulder separation in there makes me happy too. =D

[Big_Sky_Guy]

Nicely done MrsH and Artistry.


Shooting and Deadlifts....hhhhnnnng!
