AHHHHHH

Hard Day... darn I though the tears were done...
When will it end...

friend asked me to lunch when i got in to work today.

Then got the call at 930 about Mr wonderful

At lunch john (diffrent one) said God told him he needed to take me to lunch, that I would need him, no reason why but he knew.

Pretty much lost it at lunch, did a mini melt down...

I mean How... How could he know I would have my world rocked...

I am the one sinking...

Jim,

I'm learning just like you that you can't turn it off like a light switch. We loved our WW's unconditionaly and that's gonna take some time to fade away.

No advice from me, I still want to see my WW naked.

Just some support from a fellow BS.

Ignore Mr. Wonderful of the week. osh, she is sure up and down a lot. It's sad she is involving her kids in her sickness - a new daddy every month. YUCK!!!

Next time her ex calls with the news about the new Mr. Wonderful, let him know you no longer wish to hear about the latest conquest. You need to protect your heart.

Me too...

Jim,
You are worrying me...seems like you use booze as a crutch to prop you up or as a cushion to ease your fall. You are or were addicted to your WW. Don't trade one addiction for for another. Use this pain to forge your spirit. Make your own accomplishments your crutch or your cushion. I love the margars at El Vaquero and an ice cold beer too, but that numbness only delays your processing of the grief. When you embrace your adversity or at least encounter it, that is when you grow.

I have seen you grow in this thread, don't piss away the growth that you have already paid for in pain.

I spoke with Jim earlier today and he is not tipsy or tipped. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

He is hurting but still has his wits about him. I don't believe he is trading one addiction for another.

He has a good 3rd party contact.... maybe we should take a lesson from his contact.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

He has a support group both near and far.

Jim is realizing he needs to stop wondering about a wandering spouse. He needs to concentrate on keeping Jim moving forward. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

He is doing just that.

JMHO,
L.

You made me blush. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Jim is in for some hard days, but he will get thru this.
He has one of the best support networks around.
He will come out on top, that I am sure of.

GF,
Jim is doing alright. He is not drinking his mind out every night, that I know....mainly cuz I am on the phone with him about every night; sometimes to talk about what is going, how to cope, etc...other times it is just to shoot the breeze (BTW Jim, The F-15 is FAR SUPERIOR to the F-14...that is why the F-15 is called an Air Superiority Fighter and the F-14 is just an interceptor).

He will be ok.

deleted cuz I hit the wrong button

Well that w/b a sight to see!!??!?! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Keep up the good work. A good supporter wlll firmly but lovingly push the BS in the right direction.

Good job. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

On the flip side, it is good to see the BS appreciate the help. I know Jim has. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

take care,
L.

but can it take a cat shot and be airborn in 220 feet and then handle the (i am told) 30% glide slope and arrested landing in 400 feet? with out being pulled apart...

actually the D varaint (or even the B+) was a much better aircraft... and the bombcat had then maintained the upgrades like the 15......


any word from the "queen B" is she going to get her crap?

The record speaks for itself. The F-15 has 104 kills and zero losses. The F-14 has maybe 40 on the outside, including one helicopter.

And, being launched from a boat? Eh...I can jump off a boat too. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The Tom also never lost an A-A engagment, the only combat loss was to a SAM when doing FTR escort for mud movers Beleive there were 6 K's...

Unfortunatly the tom didn't have as many opportunities... since no one came out to play with the CVN's aside for Lybians, who went swimming...

You need to engage to get a K.. Besides wvwryone know the zummies, in the E-3 passed the glory to their brother bird men lol...

Launching from a boat... That is the easy part... getting back onboard with no divert strip available is another matter...

LOL...

The F14 Eagle and F15 Tomcat are basically Airforce and Navy versions of the same airframe. Electronics evolved over time so that they became less similar as time went on.

The term interceptor as applied to the Tomcat is because of its role in the fleet. It is the Navy's first line of defense and as such, its mission is to intercept threats before the ships can become targeted.

The first test in combat for either version was the 16 second fight with two MIGs off the cost of Lybia. It was Navy Tomcats that splashed 2 of the USSR's top-shelf airplanes.

The main reason the Eagle has more kills is the tremendous number of sorties flown in the middle east in recent years. These were flown by Airforce pilots from land based operations. It could have just as easily been the Tomcat as the Eagle, but since we have air bases in the region, it is much easier to resupply land based aircraft for huge numbers or sorties than it is to re-outfit the fleet every couple of days.

Before the Islamist conservatives took over Iran, the government of Iran had the choice of buying Eagles or Tomcats and chose the Tomcats.

My brother was on the Nimitz for 4 years. He started as an avionics tech with VA86 A7 Corsair IIs also known as SLUFs (The Sidewinder Squadron) and later moved up to Tomcats before leaving the Navy a year after the movie Final Countdown was filmed on board the Nimitz (which, BTW, was the Nimitz's first trip to the Pacific.)

FWIW, both the Tomcat and the Eagle are going the way of the Dodo bird. Both are being replaced by the new joint strike platform as are the Marine's Harriers. (F35 Lightning II) <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

ok fog talk...

I have hear alot said about it.. But what exactly is FOG talk, can you give some examples? So I can know when i have heard it... I am having difficulty with it...

Jim

Fog talk...here is a good example:
WW invited OM to our house for dinner years after their initial A died down and shortly before it flared up again. I of course was totally in the dark at this time. When I found out and asked her how she could have invited him to our house and let him play with our children, she said:
"I thought that if we became friends with OM and OMW, it would prevent the A from happening again."

ouch!
