A year in my life...my birthday is October 5th
I will be 47 on the 19th of October. Happy Birthday to you Eric!!!!:cheers:
As for the wife, I have also been going down the same road as you regarding the comments of " You are always working on your car" or the old "All you care about is your car and the computer" My wife and I are trying out a new thing at Bible Study this year, we are both studying and reading the book titled "Love and Respect" by Dr Emerson Eggeriches. This book also has a workbook to study as well and it focuses around the christian values of a womans desire for the love she deserves and feels she is not receiving and the man's desire for the respect that he feels he is not receiving from the wife. So far so good, it has brought out a lot of things we would not normally talk about and it seems to be working. This book is a Focus on the Family book series and we got the book through our church bookstore. it may be worth a shot to consider. As for the grandkids situation, well I and my wife have custody of 2 of our Grandkids and have had them since they were babies and we are bringing both of them up. Step kids of mine, her kids from her first marriage, the parents of these children my stepson and stepdaughter probably will never get it together to be able to raise the kids on their own but we are trying to do what's right and raise them ourselves at our expense. It's not the kids fault for the parents inability to raise their own kids but hey what can you do. Nice looking Mopar you got there. hope this helps. Take care.
Okay lets start this by saying it was a very interesting year for me...I will be 48 years old on the 5th of October...I was born in 1962...
I quit smoking 4 years ago..I pounded on 20 plus pounds from eating junk and fast food..my wife had some blood work done and her colesterol and blood sugars were high...she and I both changed our eating habits and I started to exercise at work...lifting cases of beer and filling our storage towers...I lost 20 pounds..am at 178 now and wear 32 waist...she has gotten down to 116 pounds from 134...
On several ocassions this year she has told me the following...quote "all you ever do is work on your car" recently it has change to quote "all you ever want to do is work on your cars"...I don't complain about her sitting on the back porch, smoking, drinking her wine and talking on the telephone...I gave up smoking and found working on cars is very enjoyable...
I was told this year the following just recently...after some long love making....quote..."you are getting younger and I am getting older, you may have to find an 18 year old to do" WTF that came out of left field.
The lastest is...I found out that I am going to be a 48 year old grandfather.....my 22 year old daughter who still lives with us and I love very much got pregnant by her newest boyfriend...he wanted her to get an abortion and she told him no...OMG what drama there has been since last week..I am a Christian and don't believe in abortion...all I told her is that she was stupid for having non-protected sex and that I would support her...but I was not going to raise her child for her...she has to do that..she is still living with us and she can as long as she wants...the new family on the other side is divorced...the mom of the soon to be dad is trying to buy her way into my daughter's life and soon to be her grandchild also..they took her out for a 500 dollar shopping spree at the mall yesterday..I warned my daughter of it and she cried..I then told her again that she is 22 years old and she makes her own choices....OMG
Now some of the good things that happened to me...I sold my 340 roller motor and it set me up for a 440 in my dart....
I finshed the 440 installation and it WAB......
I will be 47 on the 19th of October. Happy Birthday to you Eric!!!!:cheers:
