Re: I need some Feedback.....

Ha I would have killed to have been in 50s a year ago. I had

purchased but I don't think had yet had hemmed up some 66 slacks.

That's right I said 66. I had done this because the 64s were getting

a LOT tight.

Now I'm in 44 " jeans. I tried some 42 " on today that were only $15

but they were a little tight and these 44s are only a little baggy so

I can just wear a belt. My 44 slacks still fit fine.

Think about that though. That's 22 freaking inches. I'm pretty sure

my son's waist is smaller than that. I'd certainly settle for a 38 "

waist or even a 36 " . I like being a big guy so anything smaller than

that seems scrawny to me. I know I'm older, more mature, a father,

pay my taxes, etc. but being a big guy and being able to intimidate

and put the hurt on someone still gives me a charge. Stupid

testosterone!

Mike,

I took some pictures of myself in an XL shirt this Friday.

http://tinyurl.com/ymldy6

I still don't believe that it fits well. I went to the store today

and bought some XL t-shirts to replace the 2XL t-shirts I've been

wearing under my sweaters and things (it gets cold here). I do not

believe they will fit. The 2XL are too big. I can admit that. I mean

sure I can get the XL on but they just don't SEEM to be right on me.

Does that make sense?

Be sure to check out my loads of liquid picture too if you want to

see someone with a " drinking problem " LMAO! Don't forget to read the

caption under the photo too.

I drink four or so of those a day and refill a couple with tap water

and drink those. I also drink a 32oz of sugar free flavored tap water

on the drive into work and usually a couple more at home in the

afternoon/evening. I figure I'm doing about 175-230oz a day. Pretty

crazy.

Mike,

Will you please stay the heck out my head. I was able to resist

posting that, barely, and here you go devulging my thoughts. Totally

unfair.

However, now that the cat's out of the bag so to speak, are there

pictures? No? Still have the outfit? Pictures forthcoming? Hello?!
