http://www.bunnyranch.com/forum/index.php?threads/my-seventh-experience-s-the-full-report-with-a-few-edits.36486/http://sex-in-nevada.net/smforum/index.php?topic=23932.0 WrestleMania 33 has a huge event this year. In the past, it was just a three hour event (one year it was four) and there would always be about three huge matches and the rest of the card would be filled with filler matches. Over the years the event would eventually start growing and getting bigger and bigger. From the beginning, it had always been the biggest event of the event. After about 20 years, it finally started being showcased as the THE event of the year. Personally, I'm a Royal Rumble guy but that's just me. And for anyone who follows the WWF, I'll never call it WWE, to me it just doesn't sound right even though it's been their name since 2002. But anyway, you can't have WrestleMania without the Undertaker. He is synonymous with the event. Since his first WrestleMania appearance in 1991, he had only missed two events (1994, 2000) and has a record 25 appearances with twenty-three wins and two losses. His first twenty-one appearances were all wins. But this year, in 2017, the year that the lights went out on Broadway (thank you for those of you who got that), 2017 was the year that he decided to retire. He had finally decided to take his gloves, his trench coat, and his round brimmed hit and laid everything in the center of the ring before he exited the squared circle for the final time. It was a very hard heartfelt moment for the man behind the Undertaker, and a very hard heartfelt moment for fans at the Orlando Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida.
In a way, I could relate to this moment because for quite some time before coming out to Nevada for the eleventh time and coming out to the ranches for the eighth time, I had been seriously considering that this trip might be my retirement trip, that this might be my last hurrah. I had been seeing and dealing with a lot of things over the past few months, ladies feeding me lines, fellow mongers trying to convince to do other things, so I had finally had enough. I had actually left all the message boards, logged out of them, took Twitter off my phone. I had gone into silent mode, lurker status if you will. I just couldn't deal with certain things that were being said to me from ladies and other clients. The time had come for me to just back away and get out for a breather. It was three weeks later that I got a text message from Jade, she had noticed I had been quiet for quite a while and was reaching out to me. And jackass me...I ignored it. I had since apologized to her...at least I think I did. Jade, if I didn't, I am sorry. But I do know I explained to you why. The only thing that brought me back was an act is completely and utter disrespect shown to Jade and I wasn't going to let it stand. I came back and put the person on blast. I just couldn't stay quiet. I had to stand up and defend her. I got another text from Jade a couple hours later thanking me and next thing I know, we started talking again and shortly thereafter, I was posting on the boards again. If it hadn't been for that, I'm not really sure when I would've come back.
We had decided to do what we were going to originally do, well, not the mock wedding thing, but the overnight deal. This was going to be a first for me. Before, I had never even considered doing one until I started partying with her. In the weeks prior, I was asking around for suggestions on hotels with a view, be it a city skyline view or a lake view. I would've preferred a view of the lake but would've been okay with the view of the city lights. Jade and I bounced a couple ideas back and forth and eventually she came up with almost a last minute suggestion before I left for my trip and I really loved the idea and after looking into it and finding a couple places, I showed them to her and she really liked and we made our decision.
Up next was figuring out what kind of surprises I would have for her. This is the hard part because she likes everything she receives or so she says. People like that are the hardest to get. When trying to impress someone, one has to get really creative but I was able to come up with some ideas on gifts to get and make. I know that some of them, she would not expect at all. I had ideas for a couple others but ultimately, they were not meant to be because I wasn't able to follow with them. It sucked but eventually, at least on one of them, I'm going to follow through. The other surprise was going to have to involve others in order for me to pull it off but sometimes you just can't get it done. One day maybe.
I had also been asked by Melissa Kiss to do a paranormal investigation over at the Alien Cathouse. She kept telling me of several different things that had been going on over there and was wanting to get some answers and had hoped that I might be able to get those answers for her. She asked me to bring all of my equipment, and I mean ALL of it. She even wanted me to bring all my cameras. I was a little leery about that because of where I'd be investigating but she had assured me it was okay with the management working there. Even Lydia, the madam of the house contacted me and was gun ho for the event herself. So everything was all set up for the event, all I had to do was to show up and I would finally be able to do a proper investigation of a brothel.
On top of that, Riley Zane had asked me if I could do at Love Ranch North as well. Not quite like what I was doing at Alien Cathouse, but something like what I had done at LRN and Bunny Ranch a few years ago: me, a few of the girls, and my K2 meter. We would just go from room to room and see what we could find. I had a lot of fun back then and I had hoped it would be the same case this year.
A couple days before the trip, I had finally finished the bare bones of a website for my group, The Hoosiers Investing New Ghosts Society, otherwise and more easily known as THINGS. I worked on for a couple weeks and wanted to get it launched before I left and luckily I was able to launch it.
In the time following my last trip out there back in August, I had actually gone through dark times, personal stuff that wasn't healthy. I had no one I could talk to, no one. It was not a good time for me and I didn't really let anyone know it either. It was one of those times where I felt like I didn't have a friend who cared. I know I showed a certain persona on the boards but that was really all it was at the time. But luckily as time went by, so did it.
When I took two months off from work, the people at work began noticing things weren't been done the way I do things. Others were doing my job and since they never got to the skill level that I'm at, they missed a lot of things and from what I had been told, they started to miss me. My shift's technical leader would text me quite often, even though she wasn't allowed to per FMLA policy, she would text me to find out how things were going and would ask me how long before I would be able to come back to work. Well, with my Dad having to have surgery, I couldn't come back to work for two months. She understood that and kept in touch on a very regular basis to get updates on my Dad and to also give me updates on how things were going at work, which was another thing she technically wasn't allowed to do. She and I are legitimate friends, not just work acquaintances. And truth be told, I talked to her during the two months I was off from work more than I talked to anybody, which kinda helped me because this was the dark period that I was going through. Even though I mentioned in the last paragraph that I had no one to talk to, I guess in a way it's not true because I had her.
So anyways, a lot of people in the room that I work in were very unhappy with my replacements. Makes me wonder how things would be if I were to ever find another job. Not only would my tech lead be texting me all this but a couple of others who actually work in my room would send me messages as well about things that would happy. During this time, two new people would start working in the room and they would hear stories about me, I would find this out right when I came back. And when I did come back, it was like they had a heaven-send, that's how they acted. I would go back to my regular position and the next thing I knew, everybody was happy again. They began to show appreciation towards because they finally realized how much I really did for them. I guess the old saying is true...don't know what you got until it's gone.
One of the new guys in the room and I struck up a conversation and when I told him my name, he was like “Oh! You're him!” and I was confused and he told me that people had talked about me and told him how much I did there now that they realized what wasn't being done while I was gone. That right there in a way made me feel vindicated, bad as it sounds. He and I became fast friends and I ended up training him on my job, at my request. He has done very well on it. There was another guy I trained on my job, actually I started training him two days after I returned from FMLA and I worked with him for two months. It normally only takes a month to learn it but this guy just wasn't getting it. When the shit would start hitting the fan, no matter how many times I would help him out or how often I would run him through hypothetical scenarios, he would panic. He was left on the job on his own for maybe a month before we all finally couldn't take anymore and moves him to a different job. About a month later, he would end up losing his job due to missing too many days over the course of the past year. That's when I asked for the other guy for me to start training him. I trained him for one month and he had done very well. He's now on a different job, just to build up his skill set and I'm back into my position.
My weight loss was something that wasn't the world's biggest secret. I had asked for suggestions on this and that and so many of you chimed in and gave me a lot of suggestions and I thank everyone for that. I was able to come up with a lot of different things that worked for me. I was still doing my seven mile walks until it got too cold to go outside or when it was raining hard or there was snow and ice out. I started using my stationary bike pretty much every single day, even after work, for a half hour at a time. I'm not sure how many miles a day I would put in because the odometer on it doesn't work. I would also start doing a little bit of working out with um...”weights.” Now what I mean by that is I didn't go out and buy an actual weight set, oh no there was no need to. There were plenty of things around the house that I could use in place of that. I grabbed an old old bowling ball, my very first bowling ball in fact, an Ebonite Axis, a 16 pound ball that my parents got me when I was 16. I would use it to do curls and my Dad had given me two five pound weights so I started doing curls with the ball and a weight. Plus I got two milk jugs and filled them up with water. See? No need to spend a lot of money when there's no need to. A few years ago, I had bought the Insanity workout program DVD collection from a friend of mine but wasn't motivated until now to use it. For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, Insanity is this crazy exercise regime that's a 60 day program and it's not for the faint at heart. It's very hard to do, you're going to move, you're going to sweat, you're going to breathe hard and make your heart rate go straight up. When I opened up the package, there was a warning saying that I need to talk to my doctor before I start this program. Needless to say, I ignored it. If I die, I die. So I started the program and I was utterly convinced that the instructor on the video was bound and determined to kill me. But luckily, I was able to get through it, I got better with each fit test as they came. My endurance was building, my stamina was building, I was developing muscles in places I haven't had muscles in years. But there were many times that I had collapsed from shear exhaustion. And I have the videos to prove it. But the difference has started to become more and more noticeable.
