Hey Biker & Swim & Paul & any other testosterone using friends,

Are you out there in cyberland? I finally talked my Doc into trading in those hadfulls of testosterone gell for a shot of the "Good Stuff" today! He hit me in the butt w/ 400mg this morning after I told him how much my wife Lisa (remember Lisa?) hates the stuff and will not come near me anymore while it's on me! Lisa is in the grips of metapause @ 52 y/o next month but has been blaming my T-gell for everything from hot flashes to big dark wiskers. Mr. Urodoc says noway that it's all absorbed in an hour and all thats left is the PU alcahol smell. I have another apt. w/ him in 3 weeks to see how my levels are and if OK, he'll put me on a 2 week cycle. So what do y'all think about my good news? Sorry I haven't been around much, I've been battling depression again and am having thyroid test being worked on now to rule that out as the cause. I'm also having my ambiblical henia fixed on Monday the 16th. I'm giving it (the surgery) to myself for a birthday present! The 16th is my B.D. Nice present Eh? Work keeps getting slower and slower, no more overtime and I'm pretty worried about that dredded pink slip catching up to me in the near future like so many other are or already have been laid off. This rescession sucks! Lisa is still living 240 miles northwest of me w/ her two horses, two parots and Rose the wonderhound. I think that has a lot to due w/ my depression! Anyway, there's the semianual update on Peteworld, sorry for the offtopic babble to all who don't know me. Bless all of you and "keep your matches up."****

Your S.Fla. Friend,

Pete

Oh man, you're killin' me.  My great buddy from more than two years ago.  I remember a post from Pete's Co-Pilot.  Are you two not together now?  If so, I hate it for you guys. 

I am not deserving of your kind compliment.  I am not that good, or intelligent, or brave.  Remember how poorly I did when first here?  I was a weenie. Weak.  I am ashamed of my behavior to this day. 

I sure wish we could get together, but my travels don't take me to your area too much now days.  I got to meet Tony and Mika and Les and it was just great.  I sure wish we could do it.

Do you remember me talking about my grandson?  He's now 28 months old and can read. I kid thee not, the kid can read.  Still taking care of him daily and still flying.  Still have my FAA first class medical certificate.  Never give up. 

I love ya Pete.  Keep Your Mach Up.

Your True Friend,

Bill

Hey Pete old pal,

Good for you and your uro. I've been on T shots for over 10 years and they always worked great. I'm on 400 mg every two weeks also and have been for a long time. It keeps my T level between 450 and 500 which is where I feel the best but we are all different.

Man, I know about that low T depression. I don't know how these HT guys get through it. They are braver and stronger than me by a long shot.

Good to see you again Pete and best of luck with the shots.

Your buddy,

Jim

OH NO!!! Lisa & I are and always will be together Bill!!! I'm sorry I didn't explain better, She is up north in our some day retirement place and I'm still in S.E. Fla working and trying to pay the bills. She was down this weekend and we were way too busy for me to get back on line> If you know what I mean
? After 30 years, pc, hormone problems and 250 miles away, she still gets my match up!^!^!^! It's this dagnab economy that keeps me here, can't sell the house and can't get a job up in the county. There is way too much more involve and I already have been opfftopic too much I'll just say, I wouldn't be anything w/o my Co-pilot Lisa, we've made it through so much, nothing can tear us apart! Bless you my old friends.
Your buddy always,
Pete
PS>> Swimom, where are you my mentor?
