Hey Jason, I've been totally disorganized lately. Thank you again for the enouragement - I read your post and was going to comment, but not doing it at the moment results in this kind of stuff... I'll send you an email. Cheers!

Thank you Brutus!!!

Yes, Jason - this is true love at first press (!!?), and we share it. We also share some sense of self-preservation. I just wrote something wishing you and Maddi all the best for 2008. hugs

Hey, Maddi, missed you! Thanks for the compliment... You can't imagine how really sad I am with this... Well. Just wrote something else wishing you and Jason all the best, which I do. hugs

Richard, this concerns you, can you please take a look? http://blog.bodybuilding.com/marilia05/2007/11/03/nanowrimo-%e2%80%93-na-option-for-bbcom/ If you want to talk, I have msn and skype as well. Whatever - let me know. I do think it is a cool idea.

Hey Steve, how's everything going? Thinking of setting my gym in the shed behind my house like yours under the kitchen... can't stand driving 90min to have a decent workout... best

Man, I've never tried (google trans), but it probably produces hilarious results..hehehehh If it looks TOO freaking weird, ask me! cheers

(continued 2) Then I created a number of sites (bought the domains and hosted them at my dreamhost account) for friends like "strongman brasil" (www.strongmanbrasil.com ) "wabdl brasil" (www.wabdlbrasil.com )and many others. I always hope they will find someone to design and update the thing, but they don't and I end up doing a lousy job myself...

(continued) www.portaldoferro.com - that's a Strength Sports portal, this one is growing too fast. It has got interviews with athletes and technical articles I write myself. I don't have time to take care of the forum, don't have the patience to configure the wiki... a mess.

Sep 23, 2007 10:52am

You're gonna have a hard time evaluating them: all in Portuguese... But I do keep and take care of two: www.bodystuff.org (personal, got a couple of blogs on social and philosophical issues concerning strength training hooked there)

Sep 23, 2007 10:24am

Really nice site! I started two myself as a hobby - one of them has grown too much and I don't know how to handle it alone anymore... I like to write and do good content, but the rest is really too much for me right now. Yours is great. Meets: 215lb BP at the WABDL nationals a week ago, national and South-american record, 6th at the world ranking (open), 3rd at the master's ranking. Not excellent, not horrible. Hope to reach 110kg by the end of the year. cheers!

I had left a comment in one of your posts, but when I added you, I forgot to write - well, it's there, at your blog, ok? see ya

Sep 2, 2007 9:17pm

(in case you don't receive my reply - for some reason, the notification is not working...) Hey Jason, I hadn't seen you reply! Thanks man! This is quite a push, wow... I'll think about it and - again - thank you very much for the encouragement!

Mar 2, 2007 5:23am

I'll be watching you!

Maddi, I’m flattered by your words. But let me tell you something: a good part of the “awe” you mention is identification. We’re very similar, sister.. Only, I am 10 years ahead of you (I will be 44 this month) and I’ve gone through some of what you are experiencing now. By what I can see, you’ll do better than I did – took me a lot longer to figure things out. I am sure you will achieve EVERYTHING you set your mind to. And you can count on my support on anything within my reach.

Another reply... http://blog.bodybuilding.com/marilia05/2007/02/26/response-to-maddi-mood-androgens-and-hard-choices-into-the-unknown/ Not sure if it is kosher to post this, but...

Feb 26, 2007 4:58am

Hi Dawn, I'm happy to have you around. You are a corageous woman and you write in a bluntly truthful way. You might want to meet Maddi (http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/Maddi/ ). We've been discussing a couple of painful matters that I believe concern all of us, women conscious of their integrated body-mind-soul condition. See ya...

Feb 25, 2007 2:04pm

Hey, girl... I read your comment and I am still digesting it. All I can say now is... welcome to my life, sister. I'm writing a real reply for later. Hugs

Feb 24, 2007 4:35am

I needs a little editing - I leaving now and I'll do that at night... some pronouns missing :)

Feb 24, 2007 4:30am

Maddi, I wrote a pretty long reply to your question, it is here http://blog.bodybuilding.com/marilia05/2007/02/24/to-maddi-part-1-the-woman-behind-the-mirror/
