Greetings and Salutations!
Just BUSY
Gretchen is fine
I’m OK
Just overworked, too many appointments (working on the ‘climb to 100’ w/the VA.) as well as G’s Eyeball appointments. I’ve been out of comms as well with all y’all, so apologies for that. It’s just even MOAR hectic than usual.
A tire literally worn out on the inside… so worn we couldn’t see that the alignment was out, so that got alllllll ate up. It had a slow leak enough so that the other day I went looking for via the soapy water and ‘feel around the tire and the edge’
Laid my finger (singular thank G-d) on one of the wires from the steel belt that was poking thru. Never seen one that bad before, never mind on one of my vehicles. Needless to say, no car for the past two days while waiting on the tires (just the fronts thankfully).
At least I can pick it up in the AM and even more grateful that it’s on VA-Payday so I’m not screwed financially.
So I’ll play catch up hopefully tomorrow.
It also doesn’t help that Red Dead Redemption 2 was on sale on Steam for $14.99. I utterly refuse to pay full price for a game. $15 is a fair dinkum deal in my book… NOT the $70 that it was when it first came out, so I’ve also been a might distracted with that.
Yah… even I need a break occasionally.
B/C as of December?
I might not get a break for another 18 years after.
DC is preggers again.
It.
Never.
Ends.
And save me the “I told you so…”
Believe you me. BOTH Gretchen and I are trying to angle an adoption for the kid. HOWEVER we’re not sure if that’s going to fly as we are dealing with a psychopath, and there’s no way in Hell she can raise a kid ever so……………………………………………………………………………..
And it’s a no-go at this station for the ‘other option’
Not that it could be done this late
So Rock, Welcome to my Hard Place.
More Later

Breathe in, breathe out. Good things are coming my friend.
Just got swindled out of 41k in an inheritance myself but for whatever reason I am remaining positive and such.
My wife said it’s strange . I went from Conan the barbarian to the Dali lama overnight.
You know why.
I told her I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. For me, heaven. For the family member who swindled us, that’s the light on the karma express girlfriend.
Perspective, my brother
“My wife said it’s strange . I went from Conan the barbarian to the Dali lama overnight”
+1, my friend. Had a similar moment myself some years back. I went from “nothing is ever the way it’s supposed to be” to “things are what they are”, then quickly moved to acceptance: “things are exactly the way they’re supposed to be”. This very recently cost me a girlfriend, I am apparently not socially conscious enough; her loss. I am capable of experiencing happiness, while she does not allow herself that. I am still acting strongly in my own best interests, without mentally grinding on all the constant bullshit.
Be well, brother.
Drug addict babies can have serious issues down the road.
are you sure you didn’t piss on some tomb while you where over there ?
or do something to a local witch doctor ?
I know bad luck myself, but DAMN. you have it in spades.
question , just HOW did you two find about DC with “child” anyway ? your in-laws ?
or did DC tell you guys herself ?
my first rule with whammen is never date one with children- adult or otherwise. it never works out……………
good luck with that bro
Why can’t the GOOD women have all the babies?!
Why does it always have to be the nutty ones that are the “Fertile Myrtles”??
