Congrats on the improvements BigT. I'm afraid I'm going to be out of the game for awhile...depending on the severity of this, it could be a "short" 3 weeks, but could be as long as a few months. :( I'm depressed.

You are complaining about your diet as the creator of your "claimed" weakness. Expose it in the journal, and let someone look at it. Maybe between myself and the others we could improve it.

Post it up, brotha! :)

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I hope it is a less serious problem and I can get over it quickly. Time will tell. I'll still be around, just prolly not in as good of a mood as usual. Haha
