But to be true.....Get to a doc and get looked at....your medical issue is not something you want to delay....it will not get better only worse.....trust me I been down that road.

This is your best plan. Hernias do NOT go away, they only get worse, and if allowed to progress, you could be in for emergency surgery, or worse.

The doc said its not pushed out enough to not hammer the weights 5-6 days a week and see what it does. It hasn't hurt in about a month and I was picking up love seats by myself the other day.

+1 on that thought. You get along, spent several days camping, she wants to get firearms and shoot with you. You share interests. It may be a bit early in your relationship to get married give it time your fear will subside.

The way this thread is going, we're going to have to retitle it, "I'm hooked!"

The important question is did you kiss the burn marks to make them all better:evil::D

She sounds like a keeper.

Maybe :)

She’s pretty upset because it’s visible with a lower cut shirt. It’s definitely going to scar. It’s higher up and not exactly on her breast, more on her chest bone.
 
I'm definitely in the "pics or it didn't happen" category. The OP reads like a teenage boy fantasy.
 
Well I have to say that she is pretty awesome. We took a weekend/7hr getaway this weekend and will be visiting mammoth caves Kentucky and horse back riding along with the corvette museum and then a trip at several Kentucky gun shops and cabelas. I asked why cabelas and she says she wants to look at guns. Yep! She’s a keeper.

My family built custom homes for generations and grandparents ran a cabinet shop and I grew up on construction sites with uncles who were job foreman and taught me the "ropes" of virtues of fine craftsman work of carpentry and cabinetry. My mother remarried an electrician and my teenage years were like "This Old House" show from the 80s (LOL, I grew up in the 80s) every weekend repairing/remodeling houses as he always bought fixer uppers as rentals.

By the time I was 26, I had 2 houses and a triplex, all the cars were paid off and worked a job with benefits and retirement pension with a good salary (This was before my state government job with even better benefits and retirement with double the salary).

While I dated several and had long-term relationships with a few, I always "tested" dates/girlfriends to see if they truly enjoyed camping, hiking, riding dirt bikes/quads, driving 4x4s/dune buggy and shooting guns as that's what I enjoyed doing. Well, many kept up the pretend act for short time to quite a bit longer but eventually, they were caught or confessed they were not the "roughing it/gun toting" type and we politely and mutually parted ways.

After I broke up with my last girlfriend (I will tell you why "last girlfriend" later), I took a 6 month break to figure out why I couldn't find someone who enjoyed the same hobbies as me, even though there were 3 nice ladies at work who actively wanted to date me (You know, the down sides of dating coworkers :barf: ... and I told them I would date them after my 6 month break).

Then one day, a mutual friend set me up with my wife and told me, "She is just perfect for you. You guys were made for each other." I quickly found out from the friend she grew up with gun toting uncles who travel to Wyoming each year to hunt and her favorite uncle had different heads of animals he hunted mounted on a 2 story wall of his house. She grew up riding dirt bikes, rough camping and shooting guns. I WAS IN LOVE! (And I haven't even met her yet :p).

So on that fateful day, when I saw my wife (I consider she was never my girlfriend as she started out as "wife" status to me ;)) walk up my driveway, it was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT and a resounding voice jumped out and said, "She is the one you are going to marry". :eek::D Our first "real date" after couple of lunches was riding quads at Pismo/Oceano dunes and camping stone's throw from the ocean right on the beach. Dang, we were so young and stupid ... We were like the characters in "Fools Rush In" movie. :oops:

Later as we dated, she asked me why I liked her so much and I told her about my "Love at first sight" experience. When she pressed harder, I came clean and told her, "Do you know how hard it is to find dates who grew up rough camping and actually like riding dirt bikes/quads and shoot guns?" I told her I dated many and had girlfriends who pretended and lied about liking those activities and she rolled around laughing. She told me she hates liars and she TRULY ENJOY those activities WITH ME. When she took me to her annual family picnic to introduce me to her family, I remembered I had my USPSA shooting gear (minus the guns) in the trunk and took out the belt/holster with integrated mag holders I had made and when wife told her uncles I shot matches and made my own match gear, they looked at the belt/holster/mag holders and smiled and said, "You will be fine with us". :thumbup:

Needless to say, the 3 ladies at work were pissed and said, "But we waited for you" ... then all confessed they really didn't like rough camping, riding dirt bikes/quads or shooting guns. :rofl:

Long story short, after 3 years of some crazy rough camping, 4-wheeling, riding dirt bikes/quads all over the coastal dunes and desert dunes and shooting guns, we got married and bought his/her Glocks as wedding presents to each other. :D

One HUGE BENEFIT of a wife who likes 4x4s, dirt bikes/quads, camping and shooting is that whenever you want to buy more toys and guns, YOUR WIFE WILL LET YOU WITHOUT ANY ARGUMENT or FIGHT. Only objection she raised during our 24 years together is whenever I drooled over buying a Dillon 1050, she simply asked, "But honey, will it make any more accurate rounds than what you are already making?" and I grudgingly had to admit, "No, but it will look nice on my bench ..." :)

And this may be another benefit (Ladies who like to shoot may be more monogamous). When wife's friends/neighbors asked if she was OK with me spending so much money on guns and reloading stuff (To the tune of $170K+ after 24 years BUT cheaper compared to 4x4s/toy haulers/quads or deep ocean boating/fishing hobbies ;)), she would snap back and ask them, "Do you know where your husbands really are when they say they are going golfing? Do you check the bottom of the golf shoes to see if they even went to the golf course? I know exactly where my husband is when he is reloading and shooting because I am with him." with a big smile on her face. Well, one by one, her friends got divorced and now, she is the only one who is still married to the first husband (or still married as they somehow could not find another boyfriend/husband who could stand their nagging/bitching).

So, choose your girlfriend, soulmate and wife carefully if you want a long and happy shooting, reloading and outdoors hobby life.

ohihunter2014, if I was in your shoes, I would have already married your girlfriend by now. :D

Yes, she sure sounds like a keeper and you can share with her my story about my fiesty, crazy yet loyal "fun" wife of 24 years who bore me Annie Oakley of a daughter who is just like her mother, fiesty with a capital "F" (God help whoever wants to marry my daughter :rofl:)

Did I mention life is short and we are all going to die and stuff? ;):D

I dunno guys...it's GREAT to have a girlfriend/wife that's into shooting. My wife got me into hunting, after all. But there's a down side...
Sometimes when I want to go out and get a nice outfit, new pair of shoes or just be taken out for dinner and dancing I'm told by my wife: "Can it wait? It's just not in the budget this month...I forgot to tell you I bought 1000 rounds of 9mm".
So yes, find a mate that likes to do what you do but don't end up like me.
