Just wondered how you are doing?

I'm ok.

Been dealing with the nightmare of that auto accident for the last few weeks. They finally decided the other driver was 100% at fault and have took responsibility for everything.

I bought another truck last week and now all I have to do is finish my medicals. The impact and subsequent passenger compartment impengement has aggrivated my gunshot wound. Seems I had a bone spur form where the bullet ricocheted down my femur before it exited and the impact off my dashboard broke it loose.

Anyways the girl I hit is going to be ok and took the full brunt of the wreck. She's young and resiliant, and I hope a bit wiser now about being in such a hurry.

I went to Jackson, Mississippi with my girlfriend to see her mom and she found out her father had died the day before we left. My GF is adopted and it was her bio father that died.

Her mom was apprehensive about telling her until she found out I was coming and knew I would keep her safe from the "deliverance folk" at the funeral.

I had thought people like in Deliverance were made up until I went there. HOLY CARP! We were like celebrities coming to town. It made me VERY uncomfortable to be stared at for anything of value.

On the upside, she took me to a place that had the best Cajun Shrimp PoBoy I had ever had! A little place called Penn's Catfish. The guy has several of them around Mississippi.

Also while we were in town, we stopped by Bed, Bath and Beyond to get her mom a new knife as all she had were huge butcher's knives and managed to stick herself cutting a tomato. I had a 20% off cupon and went straight to the sale items and found a super nice set od smaller pearing knives AND the $300 Emeril-ware set for 30% off because a lid was missing.

Yep I snapped them both up and got out of there for well under $200!

Her mom loved the knives and we had to try them out on tomater sandwiches immediately!

I love the Emeril-ware and it's a start on replacing my belongings I lost in the divorce.


I haven't heard any news out of my XW or SS. I've had no contact since she threw me out.

All I have heard was that she lost her job from my older brother that lives down there. With fuel prices the way they are and as little as she made, either everything has collapsed or she has her a sugardaddy.

My job I took when I left is doing fantastic. I've only been here close to a year now and the owner has taken me to lunch several times and has let me fly his airplane. The whole company knows that I am someone valuable here and at long last I am respected. I am reciprical with it and I have managed to spot injustices that I had experienced in my last job and have put a stop to it. Seems some of the lower management were taking frustrations out on employees unjustly and I put a stop to it immediately.

I am already a department head, but there is talk of giving me more responsibility as morale is skyrocketing along with production and profit.


Anyways thanks for asking!

However I am still very bitter over my unjust divorce and subsequent banishment from my church. Something I'll just have to work through.

Pariah,
Glad to hear you are recovering from the crash and that all are recovering and at fault.

Your post is so upbeat until the end. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves of all our blessings, and downplay the dissapointments.

Count your blessings. Great job, girlfriend, . . . . .

I love hearing of all the good things coming your way!! Keep moving on and up......it's the best revenge ever!!!

I'm glad to hear things are going well. Try to stop thinking about the X if you can. She's not worth the effort and your life is going great now. Don't let her take that from you!
