Honestly never thought my parents would find out I was taking test, but it happened today. The irony is that I have only one shot left and then I was getting rid of everything. I’m genuinely surprised that my parents found a vial seeing how they’ve only been upstairs 3 times in the past 4 months or so. Made up a lie saying that it was to heal an injury and they kind of bought it. Either way I’m old enough to make my own decisions regarding my health and I have been for many years.
But is your body old enough for AAS?
What age are u? Considering ur still with ur parents u sound too young to be taking steriods

Either way, this looks to be ugly, PureFew. Either our Catfish170 is still too young for AAS, or he isn't too young but still living with his parents.
But not old enough to move out or come up with an actually good spot to store your gear....
Ahaha I deadass just leave mine in my cupboard, had about 10 pills missing so rip 10 days from my cycle cuz somebody must have been like hmm these look like good gym supliments lemme just take some random pill with out knowing what it will do

Oh. All right.
this is the problem with this generation (which otherwise has potential) your parents spoil you kids too much
you get your own room which is fine.. hell i had my own room too growing up (i was luckier than many my age) but to top it off your parents are too naive and stupid to check your room and you lock your door. yeah i get it you need SOME privacy, but aside that 30 minutes to pleasure yourself you should not be allowed to lock your door. are you paying for that room? NO you aren't, hence not your property
i was actually shocked in high school when my buddy down the street brung me to his house to play video games and he had his own Nintendo and his brother had his own too. they both had their own tv's .. i was like WTF? i never had a tv in my room... had to share everything with siblings etc. i don't care if you can afford to give your kids that sort of shit, you aren't helping them at all

i do have a very expensive computer in my room, but the fact of the matter is i dont know why u are persuming my parents gave me all the stuff i have. if u had any idea about me or about things i got in my life u would not be making such comments.
i paid for this computer and all the stuff to go with it with my own money that i work hard to earn, doing manual labour. i buy almost everything my self, i have cheap clothing from TXmax which is very cheap unbranded store that sell clothes and even from that i only have 3 pairs of trousers costing £15 each and about 5 tops max. i do pay for a lot of food on my own as like i said in other threads which u also took apart in i stated that there is nevr food in my house to eat and if there is food it is always been eaten by others. i would talk on further but i dont see why u ahve to know anything about my personal life and relationship with my parents etc. all my gym suppliments are on MY OWN MONEY, I WORKED FOR. only thing my paretns pay for is some times lunch in the middle of the day and tea. i bought my own oats for breakfast but usually miss it.
my daily life is wake up go to school gym sleep and then tea bed. on days off its wake up gym come back sleep then have tea then sleep.
so how dare u say i am spolied i worked hard for the things i ahve in my life and room. its my money my lfie which is quite frankly already fucked as u know from otehr threads i have made so i dont give 2 shits about my health. i would rather live a short happy life being comfident with who i am rather than feeling shit and depressed and even more anxious about my body.
and when ever my door is closed u bet to hell my mum will come up storming and open that damn door.
so before i let u into more of my life how about u stop bullshitting and putting people down thinking my life went this way so others must have been through the exact same, well suprisingly everybodys life is different and by the sounds of it u never got to pay for much of what u had but i am not going to persume as i know everybody lives differently and has a different life

to be honest i dont see why the truth would not be fine with them, i know if i was in ur position that i would have told the truth and if they dont like it, then thats their problem. because a lot of people ur age smoke and their parents know and whats worse smoking or doing riods safe?
My parents usually overreact and I think if I told them it was for muscle gains then they’d think I’d end up becoming a juiced up bodybuilder.
i think it would depend on how ur parents are and how u grew up
Then again, bro, you are 25-years-old. So, unless you're paranoid about your parents possibly narcing on you to the DEA and/or the local pig farm, you needn't worry about it.
not worried about that at all because I know they won’t. Just didn’t want it to be made into a bigger deal than it already was. They honestly just shrugged it off.

Wow, you guys were spoiled! I had to share a room growing up. That said, my kids who are now adults know that I use AAS, but I have always encouraged them to avoid them, and avoid the mistakes I have made. They all work hard to stay fit, but without any gear.

Gotcha and was giving you shit but ya man even traveling get a cheap locking case as im assuming you werent flying anywhere with your gear so that way no one can get into it.
You can snag a pistol case or something like that with a combo lock on it for $20-$30 and you are good to go.
I mean I had it inside of a travel bathroom bag in one of the zipper pockets. And it was placed in a drawer. It’s funny because my parents were looking for toothpaste. No point in buying anything special since I’ll be leaving soon and can easily leave everything out at my own place.

So I've seen this. Remind me what the issue is. You said they believed your story
There’s no issue, I’m just posting about how I got caught. Getting caught is usually one of the risks that come with taking steroids and probably one of the most commonly asked questions on forums.
That is the type of thing that each generation has said about succeeding generations throughout the entirety of human history. As a Baby Boomer (1958), I heard things of the sort throughout the 1970s and well into the '80s ad nauseam.
"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers." --Attributed to SOCRATES by Plato, according to William L. Patty and Louise S. Johnson, Personality and Adjustment, p. 277 (1953).
yup, but it is true. each generation in the US has become more spoiled as far as growing up. has a lot to do with the 'suburban lifestyle' of living debt rich with 2 mortgages, 3 car payments, 40K in CC debt, etc. but the #1 reason is parents are only having 1 or 2 kids instead of 3 or 4 like when i grew up. also MARKETING. way more marketing today with computers and electronics. kids NEED to have the latest $1000 Iphone, $500 video game controller, etc. wasn't like that growing up at all

i actually thought your rant was A+ and good. you didn't insult nor anything. I liked it
but i wasn't calling YOU OUT. i was calling your generation out. there are always exceptions but you have to factor in where i live which is a pretty wealthy part of the country and YES the kids here are too spoiled. however like i said they are otherwise a great generation and hopefully can change the direction of this country before it is too late
So ur not going to even reply to what I said or at least apologise? Talking about how kids now a days are rude....

It depresses me to say this - but @stevesmi is right. My generation is extremely lazy.
I just had some random person on social media reach out to me. They wanted to start getting into working out and asked if they could work out with me. I said sure. Meet me tomorrow at the gym at 6AM
"That's too early"
that information changes things and can happen to anyone visiting family over the summer.
my advice is don't plan cycles around vacations or visits. and if you do need to take something like this keep it in a suitcase hidden. it isn't like your parents are going to go through their 25 year olds son suitcase
Btw related to my comment above ur msg never showed when I wrote that comment my bad

Did you at least give the person a participation trophy because they tried to try to work out?
To reiterate, Socrates wrote, nearly 2500 years ago: "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers." --Attributed to Socrates by Plato, according to William L.

"You know, if you'd have told me 20 years ago I'd see children walking the streets of our Texas towns with green hair, bones in their noses, I just flat-out wouldn't have believed you." --Cop from No country for old men. great movie and set in the late 70's i believe.
Precicely my point. This sort of thing is highly cyclical, which is one of the reasons why I have never castigated succeeding generations. After all, having grown up here in Hollywood, California during the '60s and '70s, my peers and I took an awful lot of that crap. I swore then that I would never repeat that behavior, and I haven't - not once.

Why would he apologize? It wasn’t directed toward you. Most millennials are little bitches. That is a fact. My daughter is one of them. Her friends are all the same. I did not raise her that way but her friends have influenced her to a point. At my work, I have to tip toe around millennials. Do you know they are also treated as if they were a minority at my place of biz. Yes, they have a group for them. A safe space. And they also have classes for everyone else on how to deal with them. That shit was not done with boomers, gen x. Etc...

keep the stuff out of other peoples houses if they don't know.. it aint cool to get others jammed up if you're using..
if you're still living with mom & dad and juicing, than put the vial down and pick up a book, study, get a career,, get out on your own, and do your thing like a grown adult.. If you have to hide it from mommy and daddy than I would reevaluate your life decisions and where you are heading..Now you got caught, now comes the making up lies and blowing smoke up their asses when they provide for you under their roof?!?!

So-by a technicality he's living with his parents? When you're visiting for several months that is not living with them, that is technically just "visiting"? So I guess all rules don't apply to the respect of people's households during visitation... If someone is "staying" at another household, have respect for the boundaries and be a grown adult and know right from wrong.. if you have to hide something, then you know it's wrong and be prepared to deal with the ramifications for your actions..

Totally on point here Vision. Good post
Well, Vision, although I merely assumed the role of messenger vis-a-vis Catfish170's post, I will say that, in light of the fact that he is obviously self-supportive, it shouldn't matter what he did in his parent's house as long as it does not negatively affect said house. Hell, it may very well be that he felt an obligation to visit; an obligation that happened to have coincided with his desire to run a cycle over the summer. If so, what was he to do, not run the cycle, or not visit his parent?
Per your "...be a grown adult and know right from wrong," you know as well as what I do that there isn't really a goddamn thing wrong with AAS. You know that society's negative attitude towards anabolic steroids is born of ignorance and hypocrisy. Moreover, you deal the crap! Do you not understand that society deems what you do to be very wrong? Of course you undertsand that obvious fact. So you, of all people, should be supportive of Catfish.
No, not at all. My point is that certain members of each generation throughout the totality of human history have castigated the members of succeeding generations. Quoting Socrates is simply an effective way of demonstrating the generational blame game; a game that many millennials will eventually and sadly come to play.

It's all good.....I've heard that before and every generation does actually say it about the last. But we all have to admit the millennial have taken the cake. They have been coddled, spoiled, given safe spaces, etc.... that has not happened with any other generation to my recollection. Not in the US anyway. i'm not saying all millennials. And I will say, much of this is propagated by the media, I am sure. And a small select few. Like the occupy wallstreet fucktards.
For fucks sake
I'll bite..
Yes in "our" like-minded approach to AAS I agree that 99.9% of us here in these communities and/or gyms for that matter that use AAS see little to no hazards with them for personal use (with the occasional health concerns, situation depending)..However, where we both lack to have the same common grounds and similar perspective is in which fashion he has decided to use his PED's..Unless he has a prescription, they are not "deemed" wrong, in fact that are out right ILLEGAL in some regions (That's my objective opinion)..The procurement of PED's is irrelevant when comparing ones subjective opinion when you should place into great consideration and acknowledgment not only your local laws and ordinances, but ACCOUNTABILITY!
I can own a candy store, but that won't stop me from selling a fat girl a snickers bar..
Where I am in life today, at this moment I couldn't possibly think of bringing a controlled substance with needles into the home of one of my loved ones unbeknownst to them, that's morally wrong and unethical..In some households, even between spouses it may be an elephant in the room with someone using PED's, but to blatantly sneak something under the radar of someones else roof with a clear conscience (what you're advocating) should be tolerated and viewed as "acceptable" because of his cycle timing?
With that approach, you might as well fart peas at the moon before you attempt to convince me that his actions should be justified due to cycle timing and his parents discovery of his gear!
Sneaking,getting caught, than lying about screams problematic.. That's 3 circumstances that tells me his situation is NOT ideal to any of ours, or our like-minded opinions on PED's..Nor am I convinced that anyone for that matter is entitled!
My opinion is NOT to defend or convince, but rather be open minded with situational awareness..I'd like to believe that I'm far from narrow minded, and I do my best not to be fooled by what I see/read on the outside, because on the inside there may be a different story!
Stay Woke (I always wanted to use that moronic saying hahaha)
E32038
EVO V.I.P.
Oh my. And what a moronic saying it is. I want to grab anyone that says that and yell “it is stay awake, not stay woke”.
I think you meant that “every generation does actually say it about the next” generation.
But, yes, although I think that the present slicing up of the populace into smaller generational slices of vilification and entitlement is more pronounced than ever before, the generational blame game has been in play since at least the beginning of hunter-gatherer societies, or perhaps even from the beginning of humankind 6-7 million years ago.
But that is exactly the way in which many members of both the “G.I. Generation” and the “Silent Generation” described we Baby Boomers during the 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond. They also claimed that we had “a huge sense of entitlement” (as if nearly all white people of all generations do not harbor a huge sense of entitlement); and that we were lazy, unmotivated, unappreciative, etc., etc., etc.
I think that your “not to my recollection” is key here, E. For, as it relates to their military service, members of the G.I. Generation as well as early members of the Silent Generation were very well cared for by, of all things, the federal government. White male WWII veterans of these two generations - known collectively as “The Greatest Generation” - received free college educations - with generous stipends, free medical care, low interest government-guaranteed home loans, and more than $9 billion worth of unemployment benefits between the years 1944 and 1949. (Technically speaking, black male and white female WWII veterans were also eligible for these programs, but they were nearly always discriminated against and thus denied said benefits.)
So the simple fact of the matter is that this “Greatest Generation” was the most heavily subsidized generation in American history.
As a Baby Boomer who participated in both the Occupy Los Angeles encampment and the Occupy Portland (Oregon) encampment, I will argue that that uprising had been percolating since the Reagan administration fired striking air traffic controllers in 1981 (after Reagan himself lied to them by pretending to be on their side).
Then, on September 17, 2011, a group of (mostly) millennials decided to take direct action. And this action struck a raw nerve, sending a shock wave throughout the U.S., because what these millennials were doing was what tens of millions of people wished they could do. The people who had lost their jobs, their homes, their “American dream” - they cathartically cheered on this ragtag bunch of millennials who got right in the face of Wall Street and said, “We’re not leaving until you give us our country back!”
“Fucktards”? If they were, then so, too, were the participants of the Boston Tea Party “fucktards,” for to possess a contextual understanding of both events is to understand that the Boston Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street unfolded for much of the same type of reasons.
ur problem is?
Perhaps Al5920's "problem," PureFew, is the fact that you are far too thin-skinned. Like, for example, when you weirded out over my having written "And the Kidd scores another Holeshot" when it quite obviously had noting to do with you just as surely as stevesmi does not owe you an apology. Thicken it, bro. Thicken it!
i simply asked what u meant by "and the kidd scores another holeshot" never got angry what so ever at that comment, and u said it was an inside joke that u used to say so how on earth is anybody going to know what u meant by the comment. having the manners to apologising is nothing but respect and can leave both of us on a positive page with us both knowing we now good and cool together
In actuality, Purefew, you also wrote something to the effect of "...was that meant to insult me?" So, in point of fact, you were freaked out over it. It may be likened to your having demanded an apology from stevesmi even though he wrote absolutely nothing that could have been accurately construed as being insulting toward you.
So, no, an apology will not be forthcoming from me either, because, much like Steve, I owe you no such thing.
So, again, brah, thicken it!
me asking "was that meant to insult me?" was legit asking if that was meant to insult me, i dont know about u but asking that simple question is not freaking out, if u had more social interactions other than urself u would understand such a simple question does not mean i was freaking out.
steve wrote about this generation and knowing my age he would have been refering to my age range so the fact that he brought it up felt as if it was directed towards me and if u read i never saw that he responsed and after knowing what his intentions were and how they were not targeted at me i said forget what i just said meaning i was no longer looking for an apology. but if he never responded to what i had writen and if he never explained what he fully meant i believe that out of respect and comman manners that an apology would have been nice, never said it was mandatory but would have been nice or to at least agloledge what i had said.
i also never expect an apology from u nor did i even ask but the simple fact that u told me the meaning of the comment helped me understand that it was infact not an insult there for i had no reason to freak out and which i never hence why i asked if it was an insult or not.

I will concede to all you said. I agree. Except, I cannot compare taxation without representation with the occupy movement. Otherwise, I am in your camp brother. And love that your post was well thought out! Well played, sir.
Don’t pretend like you hide the fact that you do AAS. I’m pretty sure almost 90% of the people in this forum that does AAS hide it from others, not that many people are open to admitting they’re not natural. And don’t you technically work for an organization that sells illegal substances to whoever will pay?

If we are to view the Boston Tea Party from the perspective presented by popular culture - the school textbook version if you will, then, yes, the two events would share much less common. But there is much to the story of the Boston Tea Party than what we were taught in school. For the Boston Tea Party concerned much more than mere taxation to the crown without representation.
The Boston Tea Party was a protest against huge corporate tax cuts for the British East India Company (BEIC), by far the largest trans-national corporation then in existence; tax cuts that were motivated by the fact that the BEIC had made some horrific business decisions that nearly sent the company into bankruptcy. It was a corporate tax cut that threatened to decimate small Colonial businesses by helping the BEIC pull a Wal-Mart against small entrepreneurial tea shops, and individuals began a revolt that kicked-off a series of events that ended in the creation of the United States.
They covered their faces, massed in the streets, and destroyed the property of a giant global corporation much the same way as modern-day anarchists have destroyed property during various World Trade Organization meetings, i.e., Seattle, Washington in 1999.
Declaring an end to global trade run by the BEIC that was destroying local economies, this small, masked minority started a revolution with an act of rebellion later called the Boston Tea Party.
One of the most obvious similarities between the Boston Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street movement is the fact that, much like the BEIC, U.S. banks the likes of J.P. Morgan Chase made horrible business decisions that nearly broke them. And, also much like the BEIC, U.S. banks, automobile manufacturers and other industries were bailed out in 2007-2008 to the tune of some $700 billion, while homeowners, unjustly indebted college students and millions of other workers were left to twist in the wind just like the American colonialists in the wake of the BEIC’s bailout. Hence the Occupy Wall Street movement was born.
Indeed, the Occupy Wall Street chant “Banks got bailed out! We got sold out!” was not much different from the sentiments expressed by the participants of the Boston Tea Party - those who would later become revolutionaries.
Thank you, E.
Good evening
Bingo... get on TRT... case closed!
people dont ask what I'm on because its clear enough..
Most but not all forum members are based in the US (largest market for PED's obvs). Others are not. We've Indian members who can just walk in a pharmacy and buy them with no script. Others, like me and the Canadians, who can posses lawfully. What we have seen is guys, not just those in relationships and or living with someone but guys married for years who cannot tell their wives they use. Think about that. They professed undying eternal love in front of witnesses but fuck telling that bitch their using a steroid. Ditto, as in your case, a parent.
I've also addressed the sponsor issue. You wouldn't have been able to ask the question if, as with ALL the forums you could have posted on, we didn't have paid advertizers. Obviously it's not gonna be Coca-Cola is it lol. If only. So yes on a forum where you get to ask about keeping your steroid use hidden from mum and dad it's gonna be sponsors that sell that sort of thing. Feel free to talk about smoking a joint on a cannabis growers forum but don't be shocked or surprised if the have promos from sellers of grow lights, feed and so on.
Finally - work? LOLOLOLOL. I'm a mod and I don't get paid SH*T. Not a fkin buck.

Hence the Occupy Wall Street movement was born.
Indeed, the Occupy Wall Street chant “Banks got bailed out! We got sold out!” was not much different from the sentiments expressed by the participants of the Boston Tea Party - those who would later become revolutionaries.

Thank you, E.

Might that make sense to you, E?
^^^ I agree, it is ridiculous that these people gambled big $$$$ to get rich. and the ones who bet right, became filthy rich and the ones who bet wrong got bailed out and continued their careers like nothing happened. plus those same failed CEO's are walking away with millions in golden parachutes.
the rest of us who got fucked in the housing bubble get peanuts and ruined credit scores in the process.

Precisely, Steve. Precisely! And it was the things you mentioned that served as the basis for the Millennial-led Occupy Wall Street movement.

I can’t disagree with you, Eddie. And I hate the banks and other companies got bailed out and we all got fucked. This is why I prefer less government and more allowing the states to handle their shit. Keep the feds out of it.
All right. But surely you understand that it was a lack of government that created the crisis to begin with. Surely you recall that it was the federal government's elimination of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999 that led to the wild speculation within the housing market and other aspects of the economy.
Too, it was the lack of government law enforcement that allowed thousands of banking capitalists to get away with the many crimes they committed toward the creation of said crisis in 2007-2008. Contarast that with the fact that even the Reagan administration prosecuted and imprisoned approximately 700 banking capitalists in the wake of the 1980's Savings & Loan scandal, and that Reagan effectively nationalized the entire industry in response. In other words, Ronald Reagan, someone that you likely admire, E, brought a great deal of "big government" down in the likes of Charles Keating and for very good reason.

Eddie- not related to this topic.....
You recommended a site where you get needles (BD). Which ones do you use specifically for withdrawing, and then injecting? Just trust your recommendation after seeing your countless posts on here.

I do not remember the Glass Steagall act of 99. Back then, I didn't give a shit about that stuff, I was just getting out of the Marines and had other issues to worry about. I served under Bill Clinton and yes, I did like Reagan but was really too young to know back then. I'm a big "trust buy verify" guy. I am a big supporter of whatever President is in office, because I am an American and love my country. Going against any President in my opinion is just not good for the country. I'm not really a political guy and I'm a libertarian at heart if I had to self-identify. Socially democratic, fiscally republican leaning. Just live and let live is how I prefer to live. And outside of buying juice, I am pretty straight laced...lol. Hell, I don't even speed! Also proud to say I didn't vote in the last US election. I couldn't bring myself to it. The best thing that came out of that is no jury duty for the next 4 years. I have learned a lot reading your recent posts on all this stuff. I gotta say, I appreciate it. Thank you.
I can definitely relate to you on living the straight-laced life, a clear conscience feels pretty good when I sleep at night.. if my side of the street is clean, half of the load is off my shoulders and I can worry about other legit life stressors..
And I agree, a lot of his recent posts were definitely refreshing and they speak my language.. but I try to avoid political conversations because even with people that speak the same language somewhere somehow disagreements become tangents... But he was on point with his most recent post!!
Hey, how dare you bring this thread back to the topic of AAS and related topics, gashred777! ;-)
Anyway, I always draw with a 20g. Per injecting, and save for when I'm jacking something that is in excess of 300mgs, which I rarely do, I use a 22g.

Plenty of websites out there just google the needle size you want and the top 5 hits or so should all be good to go.
As Eddie said I typically but 20 gauge 1" needles to draw with and switch to 23 gauge 1.5" to dose glutes. You can run 25 gauge 1" to site inject quads, delts, etc.
Actually, awm1981, I failed to address needle length at all. But, yes, those are the lengths I use, too. Thank you for mentioning that.
No, thank you, gashred!
(Psssst! You just know that I'm going to re-politicize this motherfucker at some point, huh? ;-)

Well this has been something! Getting caught spun into quite the history brush up.
Yes, this thread certainly has meandered a bit.
