Just had some good news and bad news and rip off news wink

Good news - books shipped today.

Bad news -they'll be here in 6-10 days.

Rip off - to get 'em faster would need FedEx at $80 extra!

I'll wait.

Guys - going to have to rely on the community here to keep me in check until then!

Have a great day

Is that not a poker term, you do play poker?

That's what were all doing to some extent.... I right here with you.

Good night

Morning, Evening(?) Bravehardt smile

I thought poker is something you prod a fire with wink

Thanks for "holding my hand". No pun intended smile

That goes for all of you as well and will be returned.

Sorry to do this (pointing back to business)....

I honestly need some reassurance.

It feels so callous not to help my W.

I have no idea how to approach her. Although I suspect the answer is "don't".

I have this horrible feeling that not doing any of the above is making things worse by getting my W into a state of anger. Revenge and hitting back, especially under the guidance of the "friend" is hitting my PMA (slightly). I have to be honest and say I feel a little worried.

The "friend" is certainly stirring things up. In that SMS flurry, my W said something like - "and you bought cloths" - that HAD to have come from the "friend". Pity she didn't give my W the full story. The cloths were 2 x t-shirts - total cost R52 (about $8). Jeez - that woman can stir.

So - just wait? (yes). Work on self (yes). Stop worrying? (yes).

Reassurance and any more tips gratefully accepted. Uncomfortable feeling.

Take a look at my thread I've been on a roller coaster for almost 2 weeks.

Everyother day I'm met by the mother of my children that I know so well.

Then I watch here turn into an alien life form right before my eyes and back again to the mother of my children.

Today this happened inside of an hour and a half.

Stay the course.

It appears that you are in a delima about financial assistance for your W as well. I have been hearing this a lot lately myself. I unfortunately have to deal with her when she comes to see the kids if she shows up. I keep telling her, it is her choice were this way and she spews about the court saying this and that. I told her do what you have to and have fun at it.

Stay strong and keep stoking that fire with your poker.

One last question.

I've been very absent from my local (G - remember you suggested I do this).

Now that was probably my biggest 180!

It certainly worked last time - panic in the ranks - where is he? What's he doing?

Do I show my face in the re-opened Pizza place tomorrow?
And be "normal" in greeting and enjoying?
And risk "upsetting" my W with my attitude?

It just seems so round-about.

How do I demonstrate the new me without people seeing me?

Bizarre.

Thank goodness it's not just me wink

I wouldn't wish this on anybody!

Thanks for the info Brave.

I'll keep strong knowing that others are in the same damn leaky boat.

Wow the site works with my iPhone!

And yet another call for my wife. This time to my cell phone.

I managed to get some info out if them this time.

It is for the outstanding cell acount from her defunct company.

Bit ticked off that they are now bothering me and told them so.

They asket if I knew my W (ha!) but used her old surname.

I told them truthfully that she had walked out 2 months ago.

Why call me? Because the number they have no longer works. I wonder why.

Evening (well it is here) one and all,

And you're all going to be stuck with me tonight/this afternoon (you know what I mean). Prepare the board for a Mac Attack.

Just been told "friend" and cronies are on the way to my local.

What? No Mac again????? What gives????? Hehehehe.

Off for a tramp through other peoples lives.

Don't forget to rewind my thread a bit. I've been very busy typing.

Advice, tips and 2 by 4's welcome (no books yet). Damn there's one day gone.

Catch you later.

Hey, Mac - Have a tramp through mine if you will. I could use some encouragement.

Not sure how to advise you with yours other than to say Chin up and hang in there.


The trouble with having an open mind is that people put things in it.

Hey Mac...

I was reading through your posts and will say a couple of things...

I am proud of the choices you have made thus far...

I agree that it feels callous...I feel the same way however just remember this is for your/my protection...

You don't have to demonstrate the changes to anyone - They are for you...

If people come around, they will notice the changes...

You aren't making changes to prove a point, you are making changes for the new Mac, your new life with or without her.

Here is a song for you - For all of us...

Lynyrd Skynrd
Broken bones, broken hearts
Stripped down and torn apart
A little bit of rust
I'm still running

Counting miles, counting tears
Twisted road, shifting gears
Year after year
It's all or nothing

But I'm not home
I'm not lost
Still holding on to what I got
Ain't much left
No there's so much that's been stolen

Guess I've lost everything I've had
But I'm not dead, at least not yet
Still alone, still alive
Still unbroken
I'm still alone, still alive
I'm still unbroken

Never captured, never tamed
Wild horses on the plains
You can call me lost
I call it freedom

I feel the spirit, in my soul
It's something Lord I can't control
I'm never giving up
While I'm still breathing

I'm not home
I'm not lost
Still holding on to what I got
Ain't much left
No there's so much that's been stolen

Guess I've lost everything I've had
I'm not dead, at least not yet
Still alone, still alive
Still unbroken
I'm still alone, still alive
Still unbroken

I'm still unbroken
Still unbroken

Like the wind, like the rain
It's all running through my veins
Like a river pouring out into the ocean

I'm out here on the street
But I'm standing on my feet
Still alive, still alone
Still unbroken
Yeah!

I'm not home
I'm not lost
Still holding on to what I got
Ain't much left
Lord there's so much that's been stolen

Guess I've lost everything I've had
But I'm not dead, at least not yet
Still alive, still alone
Still unbroken
I'm still alone, still alive
I'm still unbroken
I'm still alone, still alive
Still unbroken

I'm still unbroken
I ain't never going down
I'm still unbroken
Ohh


May All Who Seek To Take My Life
Be Put To Shame And Confusion;
May All Who Desire My Ruin
Be Turned Back In Disgrace.
~Psalm 40:14~
