I am so glad you posted. As for the tall blond, have you not seen Karen??? Anyway things have turned a corner for me, the bankruptcy is over, my Dad cosigned on a loan so that I could replace my beloved SUV clunker with a new car. Kids are good, just so busy doing who knows what, I will have to force myself to do things for me!!
Lovely to hear from you. You have been missed.

I'm glad things are looking up for you kat, You're like me a little, 2008 was a crappy year, and 2009 is a rebuilding year, watch out 2010 here we come
I think I'm going to post over in Surviving the big D. As you know I wasn't very successful at saving my M, you know me the stubborn old German (give up OM or die attitude) I believe I can succeed at surviving the big D
I do peek in every now and then, but its been a very busy summer - have to go now, cook dinner, fold clothes, etc.

Just saw that you posted. I missed it while on vacation camping. It's so good to hear that you are keeping yourself busy and grounded. You sound right where you should be. Thanks for your prayers. Keep enjoying your kids, and I don't doubt that special things will come your way in God's time. Thanks for the update. I've been wondering about you.

Thanks wdid, I pray, I also wonder about you, and everyone on this site, from the people trying to make things work like yourself and people like puppy and mc, and on the other side Karen and kat. I do read most everyone's post, you're such a diverse group of people with different issues running the spectrum of working on the M or in the middle of D or surviving after D. wow it just blows my mind.
I hear in most everyone's post the same theme but in a different context uncertainty will this work out, how is this going to affect me, will I get through this, where do we go from here. What am I going to do. I'm the same way unsure about what the world holds for me and its scary. I've learnd something about uncertainty in life, not just because I went through all this but also in my work, while I worry about whats going to happen, life keeps moving forward. Yes there is some bad crap that happens to me but there is also good stuff that happens. no matter what - good or bad life keeps moving forward it never stops, stay focused on the good things in life
I was listining to a group I like and this lyrics hit home, because I'm not a very outgoing type of person, I have to keep pushing myself to get out there, not like dating, but being more open to things and people. I don't want to stay a bitter man.

LAST NIGHT AS I LAY SLEEPIN, I HEARD YOU CRYIN' IN THE NIGHT YOUR TEARS WERE FALLIN' STEADILY ON MY SHOULDERS. IT'S THEN I KNEW THAT SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT
(CHORUS) (OH TELL ME), WHAT AM I GONNA DO WHEN LAURIE ANN IS GONE HOW AM I GONNA ACT, CAN I CARRY ON? OR WILL I BE THE VICTIM OF MY SAD SONGS WHEN SHE'S GONE, OH WHEN SHE'S GONE.
WILL I SIGH, WILL I CRY WILL I ROLL UP IN A BIG OLD BALL AND DIE WILL I TRY TO LOVE AGAIN, OR FIND OUT IF I CAN OR WILL I KEEP MY BROKEN HEART AND STAY A BITTER MAN
(OH TELL ME), WHAT AM I GONNA DO WHEN LAURIE ANN IS GONE HOW AM I GONNA ACT, CAN I CARRY ON? OR WILL I BE THE VICTIM OF MY SAD SONGS WHEN SHE'S GONE, OH WHEN SHE'S GONE.
THIS MORNIN' I WATCHED YOU RISE, THAT FAR AWAY FAMILIAR LOOK WAS IN YOUR EYES. I WATCHED YOU LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW, STARIN' AT THE RAIN. IT'LL KILL ME, LAURIE, BUT I WISH YOU'D LEAVE BEFORE YOU GO INSANE. OH TELL ME........ (CHORUS)

You are always in my prayers Karen, Kat, Cat, Sara, WDID, H4H MC, Puppy, and lwb. please remember that. I pray that things work out for all of you, that you find happiness in your M or if that doesn't work out that at least you find happiness in whatever you do in life

You are a very special group of people, in the middle of your life you have to deal with this crap, and you all reach out to try to help other people deal with the same issues you are facing, I will never be able to say it enough, thanks for helping me. Thanks for reaching out to me, I truly believe we will all come out of this better people, whether we eventually reconcile or not.
Hey Jeff. Thanks for the prayers buddy. I do think all of y'all regularly. Haven't been here in forever and was just stopping by at the request of a friend.
I believe I can succeed at surviving the big D
