Tim the Traveller

Hey cutie! Looking good. I'm Tim......

No. I may have lost the weight, But I still have some nasty flab around. Besides, I grew up in the late 80's-early 90's. Baggy loose fitting clothes are the way to go MB Someday I will have a body I'm more comfortable with, But that would take years at the gym, And after the physical work I do all day long, The last thing on my mind is physically exerting myself for more hours of any day. So I keep my clothes loose, not form-fitting. Some guys prefer that anyway, I'm a jeans or cargo pants/shorts and a t-shirt kind of person

There Aint No Rest For The Wicked

Theres a lot of good looking people here, So it's time for some ugly pictures of me. I was at my step-sisters wedding on Sunday and had to pose in at least one picture, So here it is. This is the biggest smile I own and this is as dressed up as I get. Head shot of just me: And myself and some relatives: And yes, Those are Nike's on my feet And heres a pic from when I was 18 when I was fat(I was almost 300lbs. back then :wacko: ) and had long hair still. I got it cut about 2 years after this pic was taken

Jamie, I know we dont talk anymore, You might not even remember me. Not the point. Things always suck. My life sucks. Not as much now as it used too, But I have woken up with the only thought on my mind being how to become un-concious again. I spent about 2 years of my life that way shortly after my sperm donor was incarcerated. Did I think of ending it then? More times than I can count. Should I have seen a shrink about it? Probably, But all I could see that accomplishing was them turning me into their next guinea pig--"Here, take these pills and you will feel better". Sorry, I did't wanna be a pill popper anymore than I wanted to deal with life at the time. What I'm trying to say is,(and forgive me, I usually massacre what I want to say by the time I say it), If you have 2 people who care about you, That means you would just about kill them if you actually do what you are thinking of. Of course, If you are anything like me, You won't be able to do it no matter how good it sounds. Some of us are just meant to be punching bags to the world, And it sounds like you are in that exclusive club. Welcome. Of course, At some point, Sometimes the punching bag starts punching back. Sometimes the best revenge is going out and doing the best you can and being the best you can be(no im not an army recruiter). Live well and then rub it in everyones face, and don't share a penny of it with anyone except the 2 people you mentioned that care about you. When I was 18 I had NOTHING except the one backpack full of my clothes. That was a long time ago, And I can't say it hasn't been hell at times, But it's when you rise above everything and not let anything bother you anymore that life gets better. I don't even want to think about all those years that I actually gave a shit about what ANYONE else thinks about me. Now I don't really care if someone thinks I'm a farm-boy hick, Or if someone thinks im an ugly hairy ape. It's easy to look at anyone and see something you dont like about them and point it out to them, Especially if they think they need to bring something like that up in a conversation first. Some people are superficial and facetious, And there's a lot of them in the world. Seek out the real people who actually are decent and care about other people, Because those are the people you need and deserve to have around you. I care about you too Jamie, Even if we don't knoe each other well. I care about all my family at GA, And it would sadden me greatly to lose someone unneccessarily. TimTS

Alot of good answers here. It all comes down to what works for you. I was around 300lbs. in HS. That was 14 years ago. I now weigh just under 200, And am happy right here. I did it by eating the same food I always have. I just ate my meals slower, And at the risk of getting hate mail for being wasteful, I just stopped eating when I was about 5 bites away from cleaning my plate and asked myself "Do you really need the last of that?" and if the answer was no, The rest I didn't eat. As far as physical exercise, I loathe excercising on purpose. So luckily my job helps me out and keeps me active. Try some good old farm labor, It will melt pounds off of you faster than you ever imagined. I also cut out 90% of the Coke I used to drink(Pepsi is my drink of choice), and cut out about 95% of dairy products. I switched from white bread to whole wheat or the bread with all the good grains in it. And if you must eat chips, Eat the baked ones. Fried is just nasty, Look at your hands sometime after eating a handful of them. ewwwwwww. I can't say I ever really decided that the extra weight HAD to come off, I just started at the beginning and have went from there. And yes, I have fallen off my wagon. In 2004 at christmas time, I went on a 7 day cruise. OMG The FOOD! I gained 25lbs in 7 days and it took me 3 almost 4 years to get that back off of me. CRUISE SHIPS TRY TO FEED YOU TO DEATH, Stay away from them at all costs if you have little or no will-power to turn down good food, Or you WILL gain weight.

I also received the bad news tonight. RIP Amigo Mark. You are loved.

The seatbelt issue is easy to deal with---dont put the car in gear until the seatbelt is clicked--tell her your car wont even shift into gear unless all the seatbelts are buckled And I'm sorry to hear about the laptop. I'm hoping it dries out and is OK for you!

So the cookie was the highlight of the day then?

Agreed. Troy Aikman knew when to call it quits and move on

Thank you Kurt! Your a great guy, I for one am very happy to have met and known you for 3 years

Good Riddance. if he does come back again, Which would mean he has more brain damage than originally thought, I hope he plays for Detroit. Let him take a record winning team I sincerely hope the "has been" fully realizes he is now a "never will be again". Of course, I may flip-flop too if i had a steady diet of beer and vicodin

My primary car is a black 1997 S-10 Extended cab pick-up. It's a fuel efficient toddler of a truck. My other car is a maroon 1988 Chevy K1500 ShortBox with big tires. And the one I let other people drive is the red 1995 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I thought I might like it, But after I got it I realized im just a hick who prefers a truck over an SUV

In Chronological order: IcedFire Anonymous member #1 Demetz Anonymous member #2 So that makes 4 I've met. One was within 20 feet of me, But failed to tell me he was going to be here so I missed my chance--his loss. And I know I've driven within a few miles of several others, But time was limited so it didn't happen Of course, The ones I did meet actually know how neurotic I really am now :wacko:

Happy Birthday Robbie! From, --TimTheSlut--

That sucks Dem I hope you can find a place that quickly that is decent. Good luck!

I have horrible migraines. Just a suggestion(besides what not to do and all taht crap everyone including doctors will tell you) caffeine can help sometimes, But KEEP YOURSELF HYDRATED. Drink water, Lots of water. It has done miracles for a lot of mine. Now, If I could only erase all the stress that makes the other few come on, Life would be perfect.

Welcome back Dom!

it reminds me of music i'd hear at a pow-wow.

Adios Brett. I hope he enjoys his time in New York, Or that he at least accomplishes what he thinks he can accomplish going into a team that has never played with him and is totally unprepared to have him as QB. I think now more than ever that the man is wishy-washy. When he tearfully retired from football last year, err earlier this year, He didn't mean it. He wanted to play for a different team but he was too chicken-shit to publicly announce it, So instead he retired "from football". Fast-forward to present day and the man himself makes the drama needed to get what he wants because there is no way the Packers could give him what he wanted just like that. In a way, It makes me admire the man even more, But since I am a Packers fan it leaves a bad taste in my mouth at the same time, But not towards my team who did everything possible to make the man happy except to hand him to Minnesota on a silver platter. I love Brett, But he sure did things in a childish back-asswards way. And now, As a Packers fan(I just can't be a NY fan even if #4 plays for them) all I have to say is this: Go Aaron!!!!!

You and I could have some very interesting conversations......

If I were in charge of the Packers, I would make him sit on the GB bench until his contract expires and then he can do as he wishes. He is one of the legends of football, And a personal hero of mine, But I cannot count how many times in his career he has said that he will never play for another team. He is being wishy-washy now. However, If anyone in the world has earned the right to be wishy-washy it would be #4, But when you tearfully have a press conference retiring from the game of football, NOT retiring from the GB Packers, Then in my opinion it tarnishes your own reputation when you wait until the last possible moment and then decide that you want to play again, And then to have a conniption fit when your old job isnt just handed to you on a silver platter really makes you lose a lot of respect from a lot of people. Of course, This is all Bill Clinton's fault. He did not have sexual relations with that woman. That logic applied to the current situation--Brett"I have nothing left to offer the game of football." translation:"I wanna be a has-been one more year" :wacko: If he does put on another uniform, He will lose a lot of respect. And just for the record, #4 is an idiot for not taking $20 million to not play. That is kind of insulting to those of us who will never have that much money in a lifetime or a dozen lifetimes. Take the money and shut up or sit on the bench until your contract is up and then you can do as you please. Just my 2 cents plus some change

Snowy seems to have left out Rush, So I'll add that and Tom Petty as well as Fleetwood Mac.

Things under the hood of a car hmmmm. Keep in mind these are the same grandparents over a period of 15 years, And the first one was when they lived about 25 miles from the nearest town. 1. A Raccoon made a home under the hood of one of the cars that wasn't used often at the lake place. It chewed apart 2 wires and punctured 1 radiator hose, I hope it got a good amount of anti-freeze. 2. In Texas, About 5 years ago, Grandma and grandpa had some wild outdoor cats they fed to keep around so they could watch them, Grandpa was old and he enjoyed it :S Anyway, they found it was safe under the hood of the car and decided to make a "nest" there. 3. Last winter in Texas, IDK what animal it was, whether it was mice or rats or if it was the possum she had seen by her car several time previous, But there was a very large nest under the hood of her car, All dried twigs and leaves and candy wrappers and such. It's a good thing I found that when I did, Because it was all dried stuff and almost touching the exhaust manifold. That was a Car-B-Q waiting to happen.

That man could make me laugh at the most inappropriate times. I first heard him on a cassette tape when I was about 12. RIP Mr. Carlin. You brightened many peoples days for many years. Thank You Sir.
