Drawing a line and grabbing the seeds!

Sophie,

Can't argue with that at all. GAL is being implemented once again. There was so much planned with XGF that was shot to hell, i'm trying to regroup. Juggling from going back to school, dad being terminal and helping there, losing my job, and the general rollercoaster of feelings it's a bit overwhelming at times.

Racing with my youngest son has helped this year greatly. It is his last year in a jr. dragster before he turns 16 and then can race a big car. Enjoying while I can, the teenage distance has begun. Never thought i'd be alone at this age... or starting over?!

When I came here in summer of 06 it was to repair a R but what i've found out is the repair is done on me. From an XW that was reconciled for a time, to an XGF that is sick herself, I have been able to grow and love the day to day aspects of life. Time does heal but I hate waiting, how funny is that?

You brighten my day

Got your message. Decided to bad the aerodrome and took the kids to Dorney Park in PA. We had a fun time. Seems like I drove almost 3 hours for the kids to hang in the wave pool all day.

Hang in Cire. Continue to keep your eyes open. FIB

THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!























































If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!































When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears































with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they



were growing up; what with walking Twenty-five miles to school every morning



















































































































Uphill... barefoot...























































































































BOTH ways



























Yadda, yadda, yadda



























And I remember promising myself that when I grew up,































there was no way in hell I was going to lay



























































a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it



























































and how easy they've got it!























































































































But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of































thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today.































You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my































childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!



























































And I hate to say it but you kids today you































don't know how good you've got it!































I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted



to know something, We had to go to the damn library and



























look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!!































































There was no



email!! We had to actually write



























somebody a letter, with a pen!























































































































Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put



it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there! Stamps were



10 cents!























































Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us.



As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick



our ass! No where was safe!



























There were no MP3' s or Napsters! You wanted to































steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store and



shoplift it yourself!























































Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio



and the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!























































There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car.



We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished and the tape



would come undone. cause that's how we rolled dig?



















































































We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you































were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal,



that's it!



























And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either!































When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It c ould be your



school, your mom, your boss, your Bookie, your drug dealer, a collections



agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances,



mister!



























We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video































games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600!



With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'asteroids'. Your guy was a little square!



You actually had to use your imagination!! And there were no multiple levels or



screens, it was just one screen



























forever!



























And you could never win. The game just kept getting































harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like



LIFE!



























You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was































on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to



get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel! There was no



Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you



hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK



























for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards!































And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat































something up we had to use the stove ... Imagine that!























































































































That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids































today have got it too easy.































You're spoiled. You guys wouldn't have lasted































five minutes back in 1980 or before!































Regards,



























The over 30 Crowd
