Wow again. I just learned via pm that I left the impression with y'all that I hate my former bride. Nothing could be further from the truth. She is the only woman I will ever love, no matter how screwed up she is. She is also the reason I've never remarried. I will admit to spending 35 years with her hoping to find another just like her that had some warm blood flowing through her veins, but I never did. Just got into a lot of trouble. Hence my comment last week I wish I knew then what I know now. You never know what you have until you lose it.

She's extremely pretty...but no shape...no hips, no girly curves. I like girls with curves.

To answer the question whether or not those are fake? Of course they are fake. She's a bodybuilder, no fat on her body. That means bye bye boobies.

I'm the same way. I'm not into overly muscular men, but if I see a half naked one walk by, you bet you're *** I'm Lookin!

Sorry to hear about your uncle. Cancer is a very scary, horrible disease.

I never got that impression from you, the one I got was a man who was hurt by her but still loved and missed her....... Just goes to show what we all take out of someones type. Too bad you can't read a person emotions through the net.

He's doing fine. They had to take a piece of his ear to get rid of it. He cant hear to well anyway so we give him a bit of a hard time about them taking part of it. Just to make light humor of a crappy situation. He's staying on top of it though, keeping his doctor's appointments which is a big thing for a man that hates doctors.

Great. I'm glad they caught it in time.

Don't give him too hard of a time eh? He's probably really self conscious about it...even though he should be proud. It's his battle wound.

On edit, just saw your comments about making light of a bad situation. I get what you mean. When my dad went through chemo, we bought him a shirt that said "With a body like this who needs hair?"

He wore it proudly.

Yes different folk will take the same words two opposite ways. Brent being from the left coast and I also being from the left coast you would think we would be more on the same wave length. Because things certainly vary in different geographical areas. I remember when I first moved to NY and started making new friends, if I were invited over on a Sunday, let's say to watch a football game. I would think nothing of just getting up from in front of the TV and helping myself to a beer. The new friend was shocked. He said nothing to me, but he did to his wife who passed it on to my wife a few days later. Well, that is how we did things in California, so that is how I assumed it would be Nationwide. Well it's not, and you would think I would be smarter by now. But it may cut down on my posting if I think I am eggshells all of the time. Can't win for losing I guess.

I bet. I look at our parent's/grandparent's generation and often wonder if I'll ever measure up.

This makes 3 of these stories I've heard today. The woman that owns my parking spot told me about one just like these two today. Lung and brain cancer and gone in less than 10 days. I get told today that I probably have skin cancer again and think nothing of it. Go figure???

I know not everyone likes the looks, but it's something I wanted to try. Anyway, I've had my buddy at the Ford dealer's body shop looking for some for me from a wrecked truck. They occasionally get some take off that got replaced, but only have a minor scratch or something on them, which I can live with. So far though, no luck.

However, he called me last week to tell me one of his co-workers has them on his truck and was going to take them off and sell them. He wanted $200 for the pair. I figured if they're in decent shape, that's about half the price of what I can find them for on eBay. I go take a look at them and they are in great shape! Not a scratch on them, and they are the lighted and heated mirrors, which is what I was looking for. We make the deal for $200, he was going to take them off later that day, and leave them with my buddy so I could pick them up later that evening.

So, I pick up the mirrors and start doing some searching on how to hook up the lights and heat. Only problem is the mirrors I got have a lot more wires in the plug than the pics I'm finding. I mean a lot. The writeups I'm finding are talking about 7 wires...these I've got have 16 wires. A little more searching and I discover I not only have the lighted and heated mirrors, but they are also power folding and power telescoping! Those mirrors are like $1200-$1400 for a set! I got them for $200. Hell yeah!

I was pretty stoked about that. I know it's going to take some extra wiring, but it should be cool. I'm going to try and figure out how to make the factory Ford switch work with them, so it's not a weekend project. I'll probably also pull the mirrors apart to switch the wiring around, making the left-right function work properly, as they run backwards with the new mirrors using our wiring.

I thought you all might appreciate the good deal. I figure worst case if I don't like them, I'll put the factory ones back on and sell these. I doubt that'll happen though!
AWESOME Deal on those mirrors Jeremy I can't wait to see them at outlaw! I thought my 07 mirrors was going to be interesting to wire up but 16 wires OMG that is a mess to wire up there! Get you an 08 drivers side control panel and wire it up.

Last Sunday, during a marathon practice session, I fired Alli's coach. With one week left to go before their competition, the coach, who had not taught them a thing since august, started verbally abusing the team. I consider all 18 of these girls my children beacuse of the time we have spent together for the past 6 years. The coach told them that they sucked, were the worst group of girls that she had ever coached,and she was embarrased to take them to Competition. During a break in practice the girls all came up into the stands and were telling their parents what she said, crying, and completley stressed out. I proceeded to march out on the feild and tell the coach that she was not going to talk to our girls in this manner, and she told me, " well, thats my opinion of them." I told her she needed to get her stuff, and leave the feild and not comeback. I told her that I would take the girls to competition, and win it. Myself, the assistant coach, and another parent then went and told the girls that we were not embarrased by them in any way, and that we would be proud to take them to competiton. the three of us came up with an original routine, taught it to the girls this week, and then went and took the championship at Cheer Competiton on Saturday.
Y'all just dont know how proud I am of the these girls. They showed a level of commitment that I thought was only possible of college atheletes, not 10,and 11, year olds. BTW, we competed up one age group, in the 12/13 year old group, due to the fact that one of our girls was 12, and we didnt want to be disqualified for having someone too old in the 10/11 age group.

I am waiting for a parent to send me some pictures, (I was down on the feild with the girls and could not take any pics).


After we won the cheer competition, we had to travel 40 miles to the championship football games. The Millbrook Jr. Mustangs (us) were playing for championships in 3 out of 4 divisions. The Midgets(6/7 year olds) lost 18-12. The crickets(8-9 y.o.) Ansleys team, won 34-6, the termites(10-11yo) Alli's team won 38-12. It was a great weekend for city league football and cheerleading. I have NO voice left, and have no energy, but in the end it was all worth it.
Brandon reps to you for that, you sir are one awesome father!.
