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.
Happy birthday to you also..good advice on the book..I will look for it...I will read it and then pass it on to her...she also does not like being told to do something so I will offer the suggestion...I am very level headed and she is very high strung.....
