Me too. I've had two for a while now, and love them so much I would regularly wear my all black one as an undershirt for work. Me too. I've had two for a while now, and love them so much I would regularly wear my all black one as an undershirt for work.

Totally didn't know he was behind more than half the things the article listed (especially what became the reebok pump). Truly a multi-demensional innovator

Review week at work....Don't feel I have anything to worry about, just generally awkward/uneasy time.

touche gentlemen

I'm not trying to sound stupid, but isn't there a way you guys can get demo sticks from your reps (similar to when they had nike bauer ID kiosks) to use for rapid shot? That way you dont use brand new, merchandise every time someone wants to give it a go? I don't know the first thing about LHS' at retail, so its just an honest question I have.

Glad to hear. Congrats to you and your Mom!!

Thanks man. It can be a dark, dark feeling, when it happens and id never wish it on anyone. But i got an amazing fiancee and friends and family who wont let me get too down:-)

Finally getting my PTSD under control again! Days are getting brighter and brighter.

Well there is a difference between what the public views as right and wrong. As I understand it from my Fiancee, who has worked on a number of child support/custody cases at her last law firm (she now does corporate law work), In New York State (obviously may differ elsewhere), the way it works is say you meet your girlfriend as an 19-20 year old working at a retail job making minimum/above minimum wage, and you have a child together. Things go bad, you split, and you come to a settlement based on your 25K-30K salary. You make your payments on this on time, everything is good. you then go on and create an incredible online business, and in turn start collecting 1-1.5mil a year. The way NYS looks at it, you are only responsible for maintaining the lifestyle of the child when you were together (ie, when you were making 20-30K a year). Now obviously there is room to appeal for a higher amount, and I didn't miss the statement you said. Of course he's going to be difficult. He is abiding by the law and the courts ruling on what he has to pay. So of course the ex-gf is going to say hes not co-operating because he didn't just hand her a blind check. If she cant seem to get by on what she has been perfectly capable of for a while (until he started making money), maybe the child should live with him, and she should have visitation, just to keep the child's best interest. the flaw in the system though is with athletes, their contract value is constantly changing, (see: 7.5 to 1.5 to 1 mil). It puts an unfair burden on him and the courts because of the constant nature of the contract value fluctionation. so the kid gets accustomed to a life style of dad paying support on 1.5 mil, then next year paying on 1 mil. Doesn't seem fair to the kid. on an unrelated note, the Red Sox Staff are IDIOTS for allowing this guy to serve him in the clubhouse on his start day. They have every right to deny him entry. His only "obligation to his client" is to attempt to serve the papers. but the Red Sox have been such a mess lately, this lapse in judgement doesn't surprise me. Like Chippa said this is profit city, at the expense of an innocent child. Now who's the bad parent?

wow, I'm not even going to get started because I won't stop. He's hardly a dead beat. He's been making the payments that the court assigned to him, and is still making them. If the court finds he should pay more, and he doesn't pay, then hes a deadbeat. Until then, He is being a responsible parent, and not a dead beat
