Is that good or bad? How is everyone? I see some old faces or depending upon how you look at it, and some new ones. Same expressions. Will some of the old farts let me know how they are doing?<P>------------------<BR>1Co:2:4: And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:<BR>1Co:2:5: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Brother Paul!<P>Fellow old fart here . Should we be glad or sad to see you post? I'm a lurker now. I pop in maybe once or twice a week. This is my second post today (that has to be a record for me as a lurker). <P>I'm OK. Wife is in withdrawal - it's tougher than I expected but we are getting through each day. Our relationship is improving overall very, very, very slowly. I'm just letting time do its thing while I work at being the best husband on the planet .<P>Sooooooo, how are you?<P>SHA

Brother David (Job),<P>Things are in a whir for me. The depression comes less frequent and a lot less severe. My W is due at the end of May but the other kids were early so we are expecting this one within in the next few weeks.<P>I guess you could say I am nervous. I still remember everyone one in my prayers. You, Jim, Chris, Medic, etc. too many to name. I hope you are doing the same. <P>Has anyone seen K? Needed to tell him something.<P>------------------<BR>1Co:2:4: And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:<BR>1Co:2:5: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Hi Paul -<P>Not an old fart - here (maybe an old fartess!!) LOL!!!<P>So good to hear from you!!<P>Not sure if you remember me, but I am still in this wonderful land of Fantasy!<BR>Still on the divorce road, with H being as big a Whack-A-Doodle as ever!!! I'm just concentrating on getting a new job with benefits and a salary to be able to support myself....at least that occupies my brain (or what's left of it!!).<P>Good Luck on the upcoming birth and I will remember you all in my prayers. Let us know when the precious bundle arrives - OK?<P>BIG HUGS,<P>Sheba

Hey Paul,<P>Holy Poop on a stick! I was just wondering about you the otherday. And look what happens, the Sand Man cometh.<P>I had a great afternoon with Val. We made some real progress. Still seperated for now. Going to start the dating thing. She doesn't want a D. It seems that Brian isn't as important as he once was. <P>Best wishes for you all! <P>------------------<BR>"It's not over till we say it's over! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? H*ll no!" Blutto...Animal House 1984<P>Wishing us all the Best.<P>Medic<P>

Paul, Must be all thoughts of you that brought you back. I was wondering about you last week. I must admit I resent the "old" remark. LOL<BR> Glad to hear things are better. Still separated but hopefuly not for long. H want us to get back together. We are taking it slow (too slow for me) but at least he knows he wants out of the relationship with the OW. Just a lot of small problems to take care of like he has no car, no place to move, I will have to move again back home just small stuff.<P>Let us know when, what kind, how much as soon as the joyful day happens.<P>Lots of hugs and prayers.<P><BR><P>------------------<BR>di<P>

Hi Paul,<P>I'm around (although less frequently). What's up??

Still here too Paul,,mostly lurking but replying once in a while. You are right, unfortunately, so many new names all the time. Same hurt, pain and confusion but the bright side is the success stories.<P>My H and I are one of many success stories. It's been over two years now and we are doing great. <P>Let us know how things are going for you. Your posts and helpful advice are missed.

Sheba: Well hello. It's all the same in this game, gender does not seem to matter huh? Sometimes it's hard to remember everyone's story but the wack-a-doodle part I certainly do. <P>Medic: Don't know what to say about the dating thing, I'm sure others have taken care of that. But I am glad to see progress in you, not just between you and Val, but in you.<P>SDS: You resemble the "old" remark? Oh, my mistake, you said resent! Sorry couldn't resist. You've come this far, patience, the race is not to the swift.<P>NSR (Jim): I tried to, but I believe for the good of alot that you ingored it! I will try to surf back to these posts. Let me know how it goes with Dr. Harley as you know I have a "vested" interest in where you are. Stay strong. Have you seen Stigmata? It was alot different than I expected. I think you would certainly get something from this movie.<P>K: Thought about you a month ago or so. Reason being we found out that we are having a boy. Of course I am trying to be as supportive as possible. It would appear that my wife has decided on a name without me, luckily I like it Care to guess what it is? Noah Matthew. This struck me as...I don't really know what, but I thought of you and yours, oh well, that's what I wanted to tell you.<P>Nerlcrzy: Two years? Then you stand a testament to us all. Glad to hear from you.<P>To all: He should arrive within the next few weeks, the signs are coming in, the "feelings" and the vibes. Remember us in your prayers that all will go well.<BR><P>------------------<BR>1Co:2:4: And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:<BR>1Co:2:5: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
