Hey Arctic glad to hear everyone stepping up and showing support. I wish I could help with some boat parts, but I am about stretched to my limit. In some of my other posts I have stated that my wife and I are foster parents. That takes a lot of extra finances above what the state helps you with. I cant send boat parts but I can send prayers and best wishes. Keep your head up, it will all work out.

Thanks everyone for your money, love and support. But I'm pretty well convinced by my wife and the counselor that we saw that I am verbally abusive from the pain I'm in. And have been for some time. Everyone is telling her that she did the right thing and need not help me anymore because I haven't shown any appreciation for it. I've been trying to be good and show her the love I have for her but she will have no part of it. Every time we get around one another now one of us touches the other off. She is going home to her mom in Shelton for a couple of weeks. And I am thinking of having myself committed before I do something stupid and hurt myself. I just don't see how I can live alone and take care of myself. I can't even get my Doctors appointments right. I miss my family so much. Good Night my friends. It's been a long tough couple of days of travel and trying for me. I need rest

Arctic, chronic pain can definitely cause you to be the worst person you can be, even to those you love. I've been there, and recently.

Hang in there. It takes a strong man to ask for and accept help when he's used to doing it all himself. And time can heal many wounds.

There is hope. If you begin to lose it again, let us again remind you of that.

Hey Richard, we are thinking of you. Maybe they are right, but you have to go forward. Right now you need to do the basic things of life without worrying about what's down the road. Get some rest, have some nourishment, get cleaned up and come back and talk to us. You are pretty needy right now, so just take care of those needs first.

You have my number.

Thanks Folks. I got some rest thanks to the Lorazapam. I'll try and make a list of what I need for the MV Doghouse and go all the way to town again and back to get what I can. Deana said she wants to clean the house before she leaves on Monday so this will give her a chance. And I will get to see the Boy's maybe. I guess I will stop and see my counselor and see what advise He has for me. At least he knows that I can't talk to his Transvestite phyc yet. If ever.
Thanks Tricky

I know how you feel! I don't think I could talk to his "Transvestite phyc" either! How can someone help you get your issues together, when they clearly have unresolved issues of their own?! Escapes me!

I'm glad you got some rest, I did too, finally! Haven't slept well for nights! Starting to effect my attitude! Making me cranky and all!

Be sure to let us know what else you may need.... You know we will all help out in whatever way we can ~ parts, cash, karma... It all adds up! Oh, how's those pictures coming? I want to see pictures of your project! Mail 'em if you can't post 'em! Take some now so we can all see what you had to start with, then we will be able to fully appreciate your finished product!

Have a great day, Tricky!

Gee I love yer sig Bunny. HAA. Pictures? The Doghouse is to shabby looking on the outside to show anyone. But I just drug my project truck out of the shop and hope to have the Doghouse in there by this evening as I need the overhead to lift and move the 351W around to finish it and get her buttoned up and fired up. Deana is leaving Monday to go be with her Mother. The boys are staying in town with my girl and here family. Isn't this like abandonment or something? I got custody of my girl 25 years ago from the ex over the same stuff. So maybe I can get my adopted grand boy's back too. Could this be possible?
Thanks Tricky

Sounds like a valid argument to me! I would check into it if I were you! Those boys need you around... and YOU need them! Would be good for all of ya!

And, yeah, pictures! I want to see your project... I don't care if it is old and ugly... That's what your working on fixing right? Getting it running, making it perty? If you don't want to post them here, send them to me at home... If my address wasn't on the Western Union, I'll PM it to ya! I don't know about everybody else, but I want to see!!

Love and Hugs!

Tricky ~ When she leaves on Monday, is she taking the computer? You said it's her camera, does that mean you don't have one? I have an extra I'm willing to send over so you can still take pics... Don't have an extra 'puter though... Maybe someone else has one lying around... I want to be sure you can still contact your extended family! And we want to be able to reach you... I'll check around....
