I was always envious of the girls in training with me that were already accomplished with weaponry, and would fire their M16's with both eyes opened. I tried, but it takes a lot of practice to TRAIN yourself to do that.

Anyhoo, Still, you start practicing to fire with both eyes wide opened; you'll know that WS, through and through. You'll WANT to avoid him, because, eventually, he will just piss you off, replacing that pain that you usually feel.

Bugs had a good suggsetion; just ask a neighbor. Get your learn on, and then take over the mowing. I like to mow, personally, always have. I even worked on two of our mowers, changing oil, air filters, levelling the deck, fixing belts, blahbetyblah...it's really not that difficult, just takes a willingness to take that first step.

AHAHAH, LMAO...I'm in there with you SL...the lawnmower was my thing...changing the oil and stuff! Also, I'm not good with keeping my eyes open when I shot...the noise gets me...I need to practice more...

My Stepmom works in the tower at a prison...I'm so envious of her shotting ability...perfect score first time up! Gotta' p!ss you off!

I was just saying this pass Sat. that I need to go to the range and do a little practicing, just because!

Still, stick with us sweetie! heck, I may have to save some money and fly up there! LMAO

We'll have you wearing camo and looking fashionable in it after while! LMAO

Still,

With SL and Rin on your side, you couldn't have 2 better women watching your back!

To Still's WH,,,,,,,,,these gals get you in their sights, LOOK OUT!!!

I've had limited shooting experience since I was a kid, but bet it wouldn't take much to get back into practice. Doubt I could handle an M16, though! You Girls ROCK!



Now THAT is a GREAT mental picture!! LMAO, too!!!

Under the right circumstances, I would say that Camo would DEFINATELY qualify as GODDESS wear!!

Okay guys guns are way beyond me right now.... afraid I might hurt someone (and not me)

You're talking to a woman that need help with a riding lawn mower.... don't put weapons in theese hands <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Guys I'm sticking with you all because right now this is the only place I feel comfy talking about trying to save M.

Rin anytime you want to come up you are more than welcome....now about the wearing camo !!!!!

Still

LMAO...Funny, STBX's dad use to pick on him about my shottin'...use to tell STBX not to p!ss me off! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

My fav is my 9mm gloack...you can bet I'm going to fight for it in this D...that's going to piss STBX off! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

A girl's got to have some protection! WHAT? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Rin,

Never had guns in my house growing up. Don't know much about them. But I do know if I had one when I found out about WH current A he may be missing an important componant of his body <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I may have to think about protection now that I may be alone for good.... my dog isn't too much into protection.

Still

LMAO...get an alarm system! That's what I would like to do...i would rather not depend on a gun if someone is breaking into my house to be honest...have a safe room and lock yourself in it, make sure you have a phone present...

In a sitch like that odds are that it will be used against you! I don't remember if that was heard from some training that I had to do or if I read it somewhere! I think it was training!

To be truthful... not really worried about it around here. Pretty quiet for the most part.

Although an alarm system may be something to think about. Just have to see what happens with all the stuff goign on.

Still

Okay now I know I'm not suppose to care.... found out today that Wh went to church with DS this past Sunday. A friend told me he saw him at church and he recieved communion.

Now I'm looking at this 2 ways... he's doing it because Softball season is coming up. Or maybe he really is turning back to God.

The way I'm looking at it even if he is just doing it for softball God can still work his way into his heart during mass.

Please pray for my WH to be broken ala PM H and Sl H.

Still

Your WH plays softball? Is this correct? Plenty of ways to twist an ankle there...

Silent,

Yes my WH(H) plays softball, center field actually. I always loved to watch him play.

And when he was in HS he did sprain his ankle playing it was right around playoff time and he stilled played. I remember him telling me that his dad was so angry at him.

So lots of ways to get "broken" sliding, etc.

Fingers crossed.

Still

Still,



You got it Girl! He's on the list with every other WS out there, including mine.

When we first met, my WH broke his ankle, had to have surgery and pins put in it. So, while that one may be 'reinforced', I'm focusing my prayer on the other one!

hehe!

Bugs,

left or right?

Still

Good Morning everyone,

Feeling empowered today.

Went to Mass this morning to pray for all of us and our WS. After Mass I spoke with our pastor and asked him to pray for Wh becuase I heard he was going back to church and our M. Father said softball will bring them in won't it. I told him I hope that wasn't the only reason WH was coming back to church. He told me he would pray for him and our M.

After went to DPW to have them come look at the culvert at the end of our driveway.... we have a speed bump that shouldn't be there. Now this is something WH always took care of.

Then I went to a local pool place to have them come open my pool and set up biweekly cleanings. This is not the place where we usually had work done from.

Now this may not sound like a lot but to me this is big. I just feel so good about it. Baby steps to independance,

Quick question... thinking about e-mailing WH about something DD said this morning. She has a softball game about an hour away today after school. She was talking to him this morning and when she got off the phone I asked if dad said he was going (if he was I was going to take special care and look like a goddess). She said no he's not going to go. It's not hockey so it's not important to him.

Now do I let him know he really should make an effort to be there... or just hope that he will. And let him deal with fallout from DD. It just hurt to see how DD said the thing about hockey.

Still

Still,

Glad you went to church, I know it helps me a lot. Even better to talk to your priest! The power of prayer is an amazing thing! The more the better.

Thanks for including ALL of the WS here!!

Re: DD's comment -
I am not in Plan B yet, but I'd say leave it go.

It is not your job to FIX WH and DD's relationship. You can't. Only HE can. It's his responsibility.

Yes, it is part of the fallout that HE has to address himself.

JMHO.

Bugs,

That was the way I was leaning. I really hope he does go even if she won't admit it I know it would mean alot to her.

Isn't it funny though how Father remember the thing about softball. I never ended up talking to him. I figured God would make it work out somehow. Plus I knew that would make WH hate me. Maybe Father might take in a ball game and talk to WH. He mentioned that last year when I talked to him the first time.

Still

Still, I'm with Bugs...comfort your daughter, but don't get in the middle. This is THEIR relationship and you cannot save her from it. I know it SUX, but you cannot change WH, he must change himself, see the error of his ways.

I'm so sorry that the children have to suffer from OUR mistakes. Still, you are doing a great job, getting things done with the pool, taking care of business. Your children can count on you.

Silent,

I know I can't stop the pain my children have to go through with this, I wish I could. I wish WH could see the pain also. I wish he would just wake up.

I was just thinking he's been gone for 9 months now. Need to stop thinking about that.

Now on to do more things that need to get done....it's never ending when you have to do it by yourself.

Still

Still,

Way to go on all of the stuff you have been working on. To quote Larry the Cable Guy "GIT R DUN!" and you are!!

Pat yourself on the back and remember with each item you accomplish, you gain more POWER and STRENGTH that you didn't realize before!



Oh Sister, you are preaching to the choir. Here's the latest quote from my WH on that subject -

"I am not concerned on her well being on our situation she is strong and smart and her knowing that the two of us love her unconditionally is what she needs. "

SHE IS 6 years old!!! She needs a WHOLE lot more than unconditional love to get thru this. D is not a NORMAL part of life for kids!

What B*TTHEADs they can be!

Oy, Bugs, what a tool. Yeah, that six year old's got it all figured out; doesn't need stability or anything. Right ON! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
