Wrote a post earlier and lost it. Couldn't even find it going back in explorer or in history. Musta dreamed I posted. I'll try to recap what I wrote.

Weekend Update.

5 men, 5 1/2 cases of beer, 5 pounds deer sausage, 10 hamburger patties, 1 sack potatoes, 1 night at the camp.

Came back with NOTHING.

Event schedule was followed except for alligator games. We went in 2 big boats which weren't conducive to alligator games. Too high off the water. We normally have a mud boat for alligator games and frogging.

Rin's mechanic did bounce off a cypress tree. First we screamed like girls (TREEE, TREEEEEE). Then we laughed like drunken fools (LETS DO IT AGAIN). We wore moss wigs for a few minutes and Uncle Ray busted his finger on a tree branch, no mager damage to the boat. We later discovered Rin's mechanic's boat didn't turn right. The foot was misaligned to the steering wheel. Happens with inboards.
Gave em he11 anyway.

Only lost 5 dollars playin Texas Holdem.

Fried the hamburgers in deer sausage grease. Ca C'est Bon!!

Smoked Cigars.

Did some fishing. Lost 2 reds, caught 3 reds, 1 flounder, and 1 sheephead.

Sun had brother's family and DS meet us at the launch an we took them to Lake Decade. There's an area of the lake called the Cajun Bahamas that is only a few feet deep and boats congregate their to swim and party.

We threw anchor there and played in the water all afternoon. DS got to practice casting with his snoopy pole. I'll have me a fishing buddy in no time.

I got pretty burnt. Trying to get rid of Casper the Friendly Gut and the ole farmer's tan. I think I succeeded.

So I had a good time. Drank too much, ate too much, cut up too much.

Typical night at the camp.

Like I said, If you want more details then you'll have to come to the camp.

I've said too much already.

oH, WHAT A SHAME...A BUNCH OF SCHOOL BOYS WITH BEER! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />



SCARY! REALLY SCARY! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

WHO WAS DRIVIN THE BOATS? I want to make sure that I stay far, FAR away! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Your info about the tree, reminds me of something similar that happen to me with STBX...another trust issue...

Except it was with two pilings with a sign on top that said "DO NOT ANCHOR HERE, DANGER!" and then the bank!Not a problem with the boat either, just the driver...a sober one at that!

This is just ONE STORY...that's why we had motorcycles instead of a boat! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts will.

Major trigger event.

Been a little down.

Confirmed STBX spent the weekend in New Orleans with OM2 and she hopes to see him again when schools out. She's not even trying to hide it anymore. I got this info from her myspace page.

I've decided Jun1 I go dark. I may even write a Plan B letter. When we go back to joint custody I don't want any contact with her. It hurts to [email]d@mn[/email] bad.

Unless I have a Mortorman Miracle I'd say my M is pretty much done. I've continued to hope maybe she'd come around, but that won't happen for a very long time now. She's completey wrapped up in this guy and could care less about me.

Now I've gotta buy her a Mother's day present from DS that she doesn't deserve. It's hard to buy a thoughtful gift for such a thoughtless person.

I had a sick idea that I'll share with everyone since I can't actually do it. I would get her a box of bread crumbs and simply attach a note that reads:

Mommy,

Here's your crumbs back. They're wasted on me.

Your Son Who Desreves Better,

DS

OK, that's enough pity party

I got a box of Cigars in today. I'm definately smokin one tonight.

Sorry to hear this news BC. It does look like it is time for a total and very dark Plan B. She is really a lost soul now. It's time to protect you as well as your son. You have done a great job and have done everything you could.

Your honorary Bee status can be easily upgraded.

Stay tough.

Can you light one up for me. I can't smoke Cigars anymore they are a gateway to ciggerettes again.

Don't know why but they are. So I have to remain smoke free including cigars. Sucks.

BC I have followed your sitch and you are a Rock.

I have a standard reply to a lot of this. Just becuase she doesn't see how great you are doesn't mean you aren't great.

Some times people get lost and they keep making bad decesion just getting farther and farther away from where they should be.

I wouldn't necessarily give up hope. I read a post I think in recovery about a couple who got D'd and the H plan B'd her. Didn't talk for a year and a half after the D and they ended up getting remarried.

Good luck. Continue being the great man you know you are.

Thanks Chris,

I think I will be an offical Bee soon.

Frog,
I'll be sure an smoke one for you.

STBX is as lost as a person can be. She may find herself down the road and we could even reconcile if I haven't moved on with someone else. My brother went through this and 5 years later they reconciled. He never remarried, she actually married and divorced in that time. I know it's possible and I know there's a pretty good chance STBX will snap out of it at some point.

I'm not falling apart are anything. Just feeling the sting from new info, from having that last bit of hope take another hit.

Our Houston salesman's in town and he took me to Hooter's for lunch so I'm feeling better now.

Again, Thanks for the support

Oh, man, BC. I'm sorry to hear it. I could copy and paste the stuff you wrote to me the other day, but you know it's true for yourself. You've been doing the hero thing in the face of amazing pain and doing it really well. Your son is lucky to have you. Some day he (and maybe your WW) will know how lucky.

I stand in awe.

BC, I welcome you with opened arms and beer in hand to the Bee's.

I agree with guy smiley (sdguy) in that your son is lucky to have you, and I second that you are lucky to have him.

No cigars for me, either, as a former smoker, but I'll have a drink and hoist it to the recovered BC and son. Plan B will relieve you of all of the [email]d@mn[/email] pain that you have to witness, and deal with.

I know you aren't falling apart, but you have been hurt over and over again; it'll be good to let WW deal with it all alone, and get relief so your smiles last longer than just moments.

Oh, I wanted to add that I wouldn't get her a mother's day present, but that's me, 'cause she's not your mother and she sure isn't acting like a spouse.

BC,

I am sorry your WW is still as lost as she ever was, but it really doesn't change anything for you. You and DS are still just as safe and sound as always, and none of that has changed. What HAS changed is that after OM1 left WW and she attempted suicide...you had hoped that she might see reason and return to her family, and instead she has chosen to re-enter fogville with OM2. So rather than face her issues and grow and mature and face the consequences and do the right thing, she is once again choosing to run away into denial and fantasyland, avoid the consequences, and do what she knows is wrong.

I know it hurts that she's making those choices. I know you had that teeny, tiny spark of hope. But you are okay...your DS is okay...and at the end of the day that's worth smoking a cigar over, isn't it?

(((((BC)))))

Your faithful friend,



CJ

Don't worry about it. I already tol em ur alligator secrets in another place on here. The wedding is fun. Which one are you?

Larry

SD,
It's amazing how one day you're chearing somebody up and the next they're chearing you up. Thanks for the kind words.

SL,
A hug and a beer at the same time? Now I can die a happy man. Thank you.

Also, I'm not gettin STBX anything for Mother's day. I was talking about gettin a little something to be from DS. I feel obligated to do that.

Last yeat I got her a $150 necklace with three gold rings representing me, her, and DS. This year I was going to spend the BIG money and have our birthstones set in the rings. Now I'd like to get the necklace back so I can cut one of the rings off. I don't want to be on that necklace any more. Maybe I'm still a little bitter.

CJ,
Yes it is. Thanks for stopping by. I'll be puffing on it shortly.

Larry,
I saw that post. I ment to comment on it and never went back. You were pretty [email]d@mn[/email] close with it. Although that's just some of the games we play. There's also spin the alligator, alligator roundup, and time before last we just caught one and threw it in the camp without telling anybody.
It's funny to see the reaction of the person that finds it.
Now we're just talking about 3 and 4 footers. Nothing that can haul you off and bury you under a log. I suck a catching them though. Last time I went for one bigger than I wanted and came up soaked to the bone with no alligator. In the water they own you. I still haven't managed to pick one out of the Bayou. That's a skill I haven't mastered yet.

Oh, I wasn't at that wedding. It took place near my mom's, but that's just one of those emails that got passed around. It looked like a camp on Lake Fields near Lockport.

OK, I'm going puff on a stogie then off to bed. I'll check in later.

Thanks Again.

BC-

Sorry to hear your situation. It does suck.

I would like to have some beers with you and SL and everyone else. It would be great right about. I could use one (or 6!)

Good luck!

Sadmo

BC:


Hokay. But you still didn't tell us WHY you like to play with the little ones, the 3 and 4 footers. In my time down in your neck of the swamp, they used to tell me that they caught those to use as bait. Is that really true?

I was mesmerized by the groom's camouflage cap, which he apparently never took off even to kiss the bride. I guess he had his reasons. But that wudda never worked in East Texas, the bill of the cap wudda messed up the big hair on the bride.

Larry

Nohting like naked atomic wings to put you in a better mood. Plus they have lots of TV's with sports on them. The girls are a little to much and distracting with the dancing and stuff but thats the price you pay for some good wings I guess.

BC sometimes people get lost and they get so far from their destination they forget where they came from and where they were going.

All you can do is be the Best BC you can and the best dad to your DS you can and all will be good in your world.

You are doing great on both fronts so in the end it is really her loss.

I always thought to myself a WW is giving up diamonds for CZ just because the CZ is bigger and newer but the diamon is realy and valuable.

Down the road the smart ones always pick the diamond.

Good luck my friend.

Larry,

I've never used alligator meat as bait for anything. We do OCCASIONALLY kill one and cut the tail off to fry at the camp. That's really the only meat there is on an alligator. The rest of it you find in gift shops.

As for as bait goes I don't know what you would use it for.

They use rotten chicken when they hunt them for real.

We use cracked crab, shrimp, and minnows for fishing.

We use cut mullet, croaker, hardheads(saltwater catfish), etc. for crab traps.

So WHY do we bother with the little guys? The same reason little boys catch snakes and frogs. When you grow up(?) snakes and frogs don't do it anymore. You want a bigger stupider challenge. We'll I'm not jumping on a 10 footer, so 3 and 4 it is.


Frog,
Can't think of anything smart a$$ to say so I guess I'll just have to thank you for the kind words.

Your input is always appreciated.

You must be at work.

I meant using a WHOLE 3 or 4 footer as bait, like you would use a long dead chicken, except for bigger and nastier prey.

Larry

I gotcha.

Stil use rotten chicken for that too. One of my friend's Uncle's is a milk man. He collects expired chicken from his stores throughout the year and puts em in a styrofoam ice chest to rot.

Alligator season usually runs from late August through September.

You can't touch this chicken without heavy gloves. This stuff will lock up your lungs and if it gets on your hands you can forget about romance for a while. You'll be alone for weeks.

It's like Filet Mignon to alligators.

The chicken is hung on hooks from poles and they hang above the water to a height that only certain sized alligators can jump up and grab.

The poles are marked with flags nearby so you can find them when the alligators take them under.

Then you pull em up, pop em in the sweet spot with a pistol and they die instantly. Then you drag em in the boat and head for the next line.

The minimum size is usually 6 feet.

Everything you ever wanted to know about alligator hunting.
