Jeeeesus, you people and these freakin stars. I don't think Ron gave them to us just because we are doing "local shows". It may be the fact that (as far as Michael goes) that he has been involved (whether you wanna laugh or not) in bodybuilding for over 20 years, he personally knows and is aquainted with a lot of pro's, he's a personal trainer (attached is a picture of Mike with Shawn Ray, from over 15 years ago), and he is working towards the PDI at freakin 42.
As far as mine, I dunno, maybe it's because of some of the same things (not the PDI). I don't plan on stopping at this "local show" CQ either. I definitely have a plan and it is very personal and those who know me here (knny, stella, sarcasm, etc.) know what that plan is and why I have it (and I thank you all for your support ).
Don't be so jumpy and jealous.
Ron, (I know we have discussed this but) if it is creating such a headache for you, you can remove my blue stars ... for now , but please do not remove Michael's as he, in my opinion and maybe some of the others on the board, believe he has earned them.
Cheri
ps: CQ it seems like it's bothering you the most yet you PM telling me you would like to help me out with contest prep.
You pm'ed me first Cheri.
Also, don't kid yourself, you are a very attractive woman and you look fantastic for your age, but I am far from jealous of you.
As I posted on the girls board already, my competion plans this year include a US show, the IFBB Amateur Caribbean/Central American Championships, and the IFBB Amateur World Championships in Spain. Last year I won medals, and hope to do the same this year.
No flame, but I would really not be jealous of someone doing a local show, as I compete on the world level.
I would not be jealous of any aspects of Mike either, as we are both in pretty much the same boat. If anyone read my posts, they would know I've been in this game 15 years, attend 3/4 pro shows a year and own a gym.
I sent you a PM explaining why I felt this way prior to you posting this, and explaining that is was nothing personal. Again, I would like to reiterate it is nothing personal, despite your response.
Again, best of luck in your show
