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 (attached is a picture of Mike with Shawn Ray, from over 15 years ago), he's a personal trainer 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.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...
Shut the Fvk up already.
So you lost some of the fat off your ass. BFD. Last I checked you didn't help anyone other than yourself. Nope, didn't volunteer in the Neuro ICU at the local hospital. Didn't help the ICU nurses wipe the asses of the spinal cord injury patients who have loss of bowel function and literally shit themselves daily. Didn't donate any of the money you and Arvilla-san spend on anti-estrogens to combat his over use of androgens, which wasted more money, to some medical student for textbooks or so she can go get a burger and Nodoz for her USMLE's study seesion. Didn't say "ah hell, forget our second cardio session of the day for the 5th time this week, vanity really is getting excessive, and after all I am not a professional athlete, why don't I go to hospice and see if anyone needs someone to listen to their stories one more time." Nope, didn't do that either.
BUT...what you did do, you self indulgent, histrionic, individual, is spread your legs for an illegally over drugged "trainer" who had no knowledge of kinesiology who I can't imagine anyone else would have sacrificed themselves for years ago, and somehow, through hook or by crook, you got your ass into better condition, altering your neurochemistry shifting your estrogen and dopamine ratios changing your perceptions of reality and making you believe your relevance and hence responsibilities to this society are much more and less, respectively, than they actualy are. And before you say "you don't know me, you have no right to blah...blah...blah..." Believe me, their body 4 life winner-1 step from going into the holding bin, I not only know you, I've had to, unfortunately, lay the likes of you to sleep on many tragic occassions; more times than I d like to remember. Get your head straight and that of your counterparts. He is going to do the PDI? Great! Does he actaully think he is of professional caliber? Reality serum should be formulated and mandated to be infused into the jugular of individuals such as you two, if for nothing else than to protect yourselves from your own delusional perceptions...either that or you should be prohibited from procreation. Absolutely.
