So....just don't use them long term?

A webcomic that I follow, the creator had a short made a a pilot to try and sell it to Nickelodeon. Only they turned it down. But the video is cute. I'd watch it if is was animated.

Just don't use them unless a doctor tells you you need them.
Messing with your hormonal balance is not a good idea. Steroid users often develop smaller testicles and "man boobs" which sometimes even lactate.

Has the forums finally been fixed ? I finally got into Community board and it actually loaded and all. Any words mods before i try the rest of the forums ?


Also as Paul said only take them if a doctor advises.

I'm a drug minimalist. Drugs should only be taken to deal with a specific medical problem, and only if there are no other options, and also be aware of possible side effects to determine the cost-benefit of taking the medicine. But mostly, only take them under the supervision of a good doctor, not one who hands out prescription like they were handing out candy.

Steroids can do damage to your kidneys as far as long term use goes. I don't use them unless needed if I have gout. But as doctors will tell me , they are good for short term use to relieve swelling etc. Long term use will cause kidney issues . One possible person to look at is Superstar Billy Graham an ex-pro wrestler who at one time looked like this...





His exposure to steroids over a decade with his wife injecting him at times led him unable to have children and multiple surgeries for knees , back and hip problems as well.





Hogan's use of steroids as well has led him to hip and knee surgeries as well as his back surgeries that ended his career finally in ring. (He had 2-3 spine surgeries in a 2-3 year period).

Roid rage is also a very real side-effect as well.

Like has been said already, only take steroids if your doctor says you need them.

Well folks I wanted to stay silent about this to not ruin my chances again. But a month ago I detailed that the guy who was leaving above me changed his mind a couple days before he was due to leave. Well 2 weeks ago he gave yet another notice he was leaving and I was told again , your gonna get the job and all. I was like , is this one for real and I waited ...and waited til it was for sure.

I start his schedule next week , a new guy does my old schedule and I now will be working that extra day. So yep....folks I am excited.

Congratulations! Hopefully it all goes as expected this time

I'm off to the London con this weekend. If the weather carries on, I will not be excited!

In other news, decided to stop reading X-Men today and watch Netflix instead. It is such a slog getting through Claremonts X-Men. Some issues are good, then they drop off in quality with too much dialogue and exposition or retreading on what happened

Hope you have a good time! I've yet to go to a Con in London of any kind. Looks like a good guest list too! You got anyone in particular you're hoping to meet?

Well I was hoping to go and see Dan Slott, but, unfortunately, I've decided to go into work for other reasons and skip it.

Ah well. There'll always be other Cons. I met Dan Slott in Birmingham last year, so I'm sure you'll get other opportunities to meet him.

Absolutely! I will see if there are any in Canada as of October or so.

I cannot wait to finally sleep in! I have work later today and a damn fly has kept me up!

Really excited for Battle Angel. It doesn't look like it'll be as hyper-violent as the manga, but the trailer looks pretty awesome and I hope it'll translate the themes of the original.

Got a cool internship next week, and I finally started catching up on Flash (CW).

The thread is finally working again but it's still pretty laggy for me. It keeps trying to double post so it takes a bit just to say anything. Is anyone else having this problem?

There is a notion that rather large threads may contribute to server load. As such, we are experimenting with closing existing threads to see if it helps matters.
Feel free to start a new thread on the same topic.
