You really got into this bulk last night!

And here I thought my log moving forward would be so boring no one would read it, let alone comment.

I’ll leave it in… “Remember that time I impersonated a hot-air balloon?”

“What?”

“I said do you remember that time I impersonated a hot-air balloon?”

“What’d you say now?”

“…forget it.”

Don't get jealous, but one of my female coworkers said that I look good today. She asked me if I had been working out a lot lately.

Notes
Everything was fine, but I just ran out of time.

I don't suppose there's a way to comment out a portion of a post like you can do in programming languages and typesetting language, is there? I'd rather be able to comment out portions of a post rather than delete them entirely. @BenM, is there such a capability?

[Renascent]

She asked me if I had been working out a lot lately.

Got asked the same during a "bulk" a month or so ago.

It's so hard not to curse people out when they say this.

It is, but also it could be worse. I've been asked several times if I've ever "considered going to the gym."

I understand that to the average person my gut is the entirety of my physique, but these delts don't grow on trees, bitch.

In her defense, she hadn't seen me in a while, but yeah, I get it.

Not natively within phpBB - buuttttt through the magic of custom BBCode I think it's really easy.

Just put the content you want to hide between the 'hide' tag I just created, like:

Code: Select all

[hide]Text you want to hide goes here.[/hide]

Congrats on your meet by the way! Those thirds were YOLO.
