You need to do what you feel is best for the kids and it sounds like you are working on that.

Thats a bummer Fred. Gonna really suck now that the state is involved. Lots of hoops to jump through I suppose. Wish I could help and let me know if I can.

Come on man, what kind of fair weather friends do you take us for?
If there's anything we can do, let us know, even if its just bouncing ideas off of us
Did I understand correctly the state wants to award you custody?
Thats got to make things easier i would assume
I don't want to loose them to foster care I know I could take them I have room and what the hell 2 more kids to raise and this time I can stay home and take care of them without going to work.
But not sure what is going on yet.
Not sure I'm on the list of 3 and time will tell but like BP said lots of hoops to jump through but my record is clean and when my wife died and had all 8 of my kids still at home social services kept an eye on me and they know me even today as I have a neighbor that works there.
I want the best for the kids and if I don't get them at least want to see them.

Glad to see what you're doing for your family Fred.
On my end, I got my overheating issue solved, just ended up freezing the hood shut. I guess I got the latch wet.

are the other two at least local to them?
i know nothing about alaska, but ive been told its a breading ground for depression
i honestly dont know if it would be better for the kids to get out of there, or to stay close to their friends and what not
when kids are involved, waters can get muddy quick
A brother that lives in Alaska on the moms side of the family but he is working and not married.
A grand mother on the moms side that is thinking maybe moving to Alaska to take care of the boys and just me.
You're correct Biff. There was a write up about it in CarCraft Magazine I think. (Might be wrong on that). He had it brought home from the dealership on a trailer and I think it was put in a garage and then bricked up the door. The building was climate controlled of course. The magazine came around and they knocked the bricks down and took a ton of pictures and then I think it was bricked back up. Didn't know the guy had died though. What's that car worth you figure? 1 million?
That's the way I heard it anyway. Either way it's worth a ton to the right guy.
If you need any letters of reference you know we've got your back Fred. Anything we can do to help. If you can raise 8 kids by yourself 3 would be a cinch.
I think you're right on the money DIY. Due to lack of sunshine depression can run ramped. It can do some awful things to you, just ask me.
Just 2 Mark so should be no problem.
You guys are great and glad to have you as friends.
Have you been in touch with CAS in Alaska and enquired about bringing them back?
Probably have to get a lawyer involved as well but do what you have to do for them.

how do the other two feel about you?
i would expect that CPS would place them with one of you, rather then foster care, but my exposure to them has been limited
if the three of you would get on one line, and all suggest you, i would expect the cats in the bag
if im asking too much, feel free to tell me, but what are the circumstances?
are the parents ok, do they just need some time, or will this be a long term deal?
Not sure if long term or not and no your fine asking questions I appreciate it and feed back is great thanks. Good idea I never met the other side of the family just my daughter in law is all.
Thanks again I'll do that and figure out the best for the kids.
It's a Winter thing Fred called SADD (Seasonal Affective Disorder Disease). I sometimes land up in a deep dark hole. I'm on an anti-depressant year round as it is. I talked to my Dr yesterday about my Prednisone dosage and I told him about the way I'm feeling this year. Amazingly it hasn't been that bad this year. He said that is very interesting and said the Prednisone can cause euphoria as well. I thought maybe because of all the sun we've had this year plus the walking was what made the difference to which he agreed. Whatever it is I hope it keeps it up. It's caused major gut problems over the years almost like a migraine of the gut if you will.
Then that causes me to be short tempered. Actually, to be honest I thank you guys for bringing me humour and helping me out of these dark holes when needed.
I'm always laughing ((or trying too) and always trying to find humour in everything. As Red Skelton said "Use a smile as your umbrella and you'll have a facefull of rain". Loved that guy
Cya guys. Grub is on the table. Been a great day, even got the boss out walking with me this morning. Cya tomorrow and have a great one
Come over and spend a week with me buddy you'll be to busy to have depression. When you go home you'll thank God for some quit time. lol
Damn that would be fun, and then have a shaving cream fight. I got 15 cans of it waiting for ya all.
Can you say busy here! I'm so surprised I have any energy at all. crying in one hand and happy in the other. I'm glad I can vent with you guys and thanks for putting up with me.
