That's more like it ya' ol dog! What parts you need for the MV Dawghouse? They're sure to be cheaper here in the lower 48 even with postage/freight. Don't say it's the whole engine or footdrive. :~)

Richard,i read this thread last nite and didnt know how to post.this has hit me in a real tender area of my heart. about 8 years ago i had my step-dad "check-out" my mom walked out of the bed room in the am and he was sittin in the lazy-boy with a gun in his lap.all i can say is DO NOT DO THIS i dont (and im shure you dont either) want your family to go threw the pain and suffering of lossing a great guy like you. i can just see mabe ya might have a kid that REALY looks up to that would be crushed if you wernt here and they would miss you more than anything. i know the feeling (when my step-dad past)that went threw my mind was at first i was so mad he left in the manner that he did,then all i did was remember everything thing from the time i was 8 till he pasted and got mad all over. its been 8 years i still get mad cuzz he left.im still trying my hardest to impress him and make him feel good about me being his step-son, why i dont know he's not here,but mabe if i was a better kid he'd still be here. i know i might have some messed up issues with this and im shure others do as well so please,please rethink and do not put your family threw it.

 

Hey, are you there? We need to talk. I'm gonna call you in a few. Meantime, listen to all your friends... especially wizzard351 above. I went through a similiar situation and I can honestly say he's got it 100% right.

 

If someone is close to him, please stop by and talk.
We had the same issue on CamaroZ28, and he did check out.

Cries for help are no laughing matter.

 

Wow. After reading this you've left me speechless Richard. I know things are really bad for you right now, but you need to sit back and remember that there are a whole bunch of people who care about you. If not in your immediate vicinity, you still have the people here on FTE.
With that said. You have stirred the pot of bad memories. My ex was an angry man. It didn't work out for us because there was too much that had happened and been said between us. But I never abandoned him, and I am still around for him whenever he needs someone to talk to. I hope your wife is not asking for a break just because she needs more than you can give her, like the touchy feely stuff you mentioned. But I can understand if she needs a break to recoup her head and feelings for you. It's sometimes hard for us ladies to suck up intense anger, especially when it's constant. It doesn't matter how much you love someone, the anger just eventually eats all of that away.......Oh boy, the more I think of this........too personal to write. I'm going to PM you a little later.

Hang in there. Talk about it and let it all out. Believe me, it'll help. You have some people here who can lend you a shoulder and ear.

 

Sometimes it helps if you talk about things. I think I speak for alot of people here when I say my Pm box is open. If need be alaska is always a local call for me. I can promise I would not preach to you as I am not a religious person. If you need a preacher to talk to let me know I could try to arrange that too. I wish I were not rock bottom on finances at the moment because I would love to be able to fly up and help you fix that boat. A think a cruise in the boat would help lift your spirits to some degree. Maybe instead of selling off all vehicles you could just sell one and put it toward a cruise fund. Checking out is not the answer. Only a few know about it here but i am having very difficult times right now myself. I know I will improve my life for the better and really enjoy it. I know you can too. If you did check out it would affect way more people than you realize. People that you love and cherish would be sad and grow up with issues. Think about them for a minute. Think of yourself for a minute. Do you really want to miss seeing your grandchildren grow up. My dad was talking about checking out before he fell ill and died for the same reasons you are. That was back in 98. The autopsy did not reveal why he died. It still bothers me to this day because I wonder was it natural causes or did he do it. I will never know the answer. I will have issues with it for the rest of my life. Please don't put that on your children and grandchildren.

 

Thanks Rex. A dizzy is the biggest part for now and I think I have that covered. It sould be in town on the Island tomarrow. Then I will need a lot of little things that I can't even list. I will only know that I need it when I look for It and It's not here. Like oil, clamps bolts Gas and such. Gotta do someting with the cook stove. Finely got it hooked up last night for heat and when I shut it of a wile ago it blow up on me. I won't need to shave my arms or chest for a while. HAAAA

 

Thanks Wizz, If it happens It will be where no one (especialy family) would find me. But I have to be sure it's over before I go that far as I would have to have a diviorce in plase and working so nouthing financal would come back on Her. No I would never do It where Family would find me. That just sick and wrong and plainly trying to hurt them even more. I do not what to hurt anyone anymore. But I have been a real azz lately with With the pain an frustration of not being able to be a husbund and father. She brings freind and relitive around to take the boys fishing and stuff that I what to do. And It just rips me up inside. I can't make luv right now either. But I'm toll that may change in a few days when I get an injection in my back.
Sorry to babble on but it helps me to wright it down. And all you alls advive and concern really helps.
Thanks Arctic

 

Have ya got my # Bud or need I PM it to ya? Yes I don't talk on the phone much cuz I am deaf, But I would try and talk to you john.

 

Robin ya hit the nail on the head perfectly. She said that she just needs some time. To let the hurt I've caused to heal. And with me living in the yard in the MV Doghouse It's not making it better. No I Am Not Making It Better. I'm hurting whay down deep and I just can't keep my mouth out of my azz. But I am so worried about her, She is so vonerableI am the only man she has ever been with. And that almost 25 years. She is 42 and lost like 70 pounds and all her freinds and me are telling her she is HOT. I also beleave that she is starting through the Change but woun't addmit it. How do you girls know when this is starting? Or do ya have to what till ya dry up? This ain't coming across right. It sound like I am talking about a cow.

 

Richard, check your PMs.

Bruce

 

I got to say that I hate yer Avitar Man. But I sure like your words. My Menor, The man that brought me to an eternal relitionship with Christ will be here late tonight and has planes I am told to come over and straigten my azz out. I do so whant to talk to him. Than maybe get the tree ov us together. It's what he does.
Thanks Arctic

 

In this case, I was hoping I was wrong. I haven't forgetten about you, and I WILL PM you later tonight. I need to think about things before I put it down in words. It's been 4 years since my breakup, and I have put it behind me. Lots of sad memories, but some positive ones too. Any insight I can offer, I'll try my best. It's not easy seeing the other side of the coin. Especially when there is so much going on up there in your head. And this goes for both you and her. After 4 years, I see everything so differently and clearer and I wish I knew then what I know now.

As for the change. It's different for everyone. Some women go real wacko, and some it's very slight. I heard that diet and genetics have a lot to do with how you react. A low fat diet with lots of fruits and vegis helps. (this is also good for when it's that time of month, in case you boys wanted to know). It's scary but some women start out really young, but around 42 is about right for a starting point. She should read up on it, because there are some obvious physical signs. And the' change' can last for years.

Hanging in there? Happy thoughts Richard.

 

Robin?
I prolly won't be here as It about time for her to show up.
So she will awnser the phone. Maybe talking to her and havening her tell ya what a piece of crap i'v been may be more help than talking to me. For ya to talk to me she will have to open the door and holler or throw something at the boat. I sure hope it ain't lead. HAAA

Thanks Arctic

 

Wow. I knew that you were having some bad times, but didn't know the severity of it, Arctic.

As has already been mentioned, you've got quite a lot of friends here on FTE. Heck, I've even seen ya visiting the Missouri Chapter.

You CAN get through this. And there's lots of us that would love to help. Please keep us posted...you are in my prayers.
