The question.

[Kurt Angle]

It's aways good to see someone who can defy the odds against them. Good to see you are still around. 

[Paul2]

good that you are still alive.  welcome back.

I almost feel guilty that my life remains utterly unaffected by the information that L-I-C is still alive.

My kids are great. I'll post pictures soon. Son is going on five and my daughters are nine ( and not pregnant yet, hooray for good parenting!) . I've not been up to a lot though. Sometimes I feel good and I go to the park. Weirdest thing happened the other day though, I went to the park and was moving a picnic table when some young weirdo came up and wanted to suck my dick. I'll admit, I had a chubby, but it was just one of those days. Almost like something was in the air !

I should also specify that I am not really flipping how's like flapjacks. My daughters mother and I selerated years ago. Mutually. No hard feelings and we get along great. I married my wife five years ago, been completely faithful and am glad to have the family I have. 

Learned a lot in that first relationship though. Mainly that if you are staying for the kids, you're probably neglecting the kids. We never done anything as a family. It was always separate, because we didn't have that family bond. Now, with my wife it is completely different. I have joint custody of my daughters, four days a week and we do everything as a family. Time changes us and lessons, like this define us. I look back and read this thread and realize how immature I was and consider myself blessed to not only be alive, but to have come out of it all fairly well.

I feel as though every few years I am granted just enough perspective to understand how immature I was in the same time period prior.

Never any more perspective than that, though.

Ah, good old bobbo.

Time changes us and lessons, like this define us. I look back and read this thread and realize how immature I was and consider myself blessed to not only be alive, but to have come out of it all fairly well.

It's crazy to look back at some of the old posts and see how we all matured. The one really cool thing about this forum and this member community is we all signed up when we were pretty much kids. Most of us were either in high school or college and had a high level of immaturity and different outlooks on life. Whenever I stumble on an old thread, I just shake my head at my own immaturity and I would have hated myself too (seriously. I want to slap the shit out of my younger self). It is pretty humbling though to see how we all have gotten older here and how our attitudes really have changed as life experiences shaped us into who we have become. And as a community, we have, in a way, all grown up together. Good times like when one of us gets a new job to the bad where one of us loses someone we love. Honestly, I was thinking about this today, I don't think there are really many internet communities that have been around as long as we have with the same regular members.

LIC, I'm glad you and your family are doing well and that you have found happiness. Seriously would never have thought that back in the day. I envisioned you being the crotchety old man yelling at kids for walking too close to his grass, not the family man you ended up becoming.

Wow...LIC,....Bob.... what's up fellas? Really good to see you cats are doing great...especially LIC. Glad you are still around and good to hear the fam is doing great as well. Haha...yeah we've all grown up quite a bit...but i'm still looking for the "sexy Babe thread?"...was that it...haha...j/k...it was funny how we all used to post pics of sexy women back then...hilarious stuff.

I've already stated a thousand times how i felt we've grown together as a family and we've had some heated debates, but never lost that bond or broken those relationships because of them, we could always come back the next day after a heated debate and crack jokes on  each-other...

[Titan]

Clips, the sexy babe thread is still around. I may have moved it to the Babe of the Week subforum. Unfortunately though, last I checked, the thread was full of broken links and images that couldn't be found. Though, upon request, I'll take the Babe of the Week subforum out of the Defunct section

The only reason it's in there is because I didn't want new members coming here thinking we're a bunch of pervs. Wanted them to sign up and post for a while before they figured out how sick and disgusting we are (then paul posted about the park and kind of threw that out the window). Way around it is creating our own member group and assigning only that member group to the board. But I have to add in each person individually and I'm kinda lazy But if you guys want it back, I'll definitely work on that.

...especially LIC.

Oh, I get it.

Fuck you guys... especially LIC!
