I was married to my first wife, expecting daughter #2, managing a sales district in NYC and providing technical support for a very large OE automotive parts manufacturer.

    I was married to the first wife, selling used(up) cars for a living, and had just bought my first condo. Still have the condo, but the wife and job are both history.

    I know what you mean about your old friend. I lost mine last March. I don't think you really get over it, but it gets easier to live with. I have a little Australian Shepherd now. She turned one year old in January. She'll never be a replacement for Sunny, but she's nice to have around. It's amazing how fast you get attached to them.

    Take it easy pardner. Looking forward to seeing you on the board more often.

    I was ten or more accurately on July 22 1982 I was still 9. I was being lazy, skipping being kept after class, throwing rocks at bottles, riding my bike, camping out, playing Army, making airplane models and doing all the other things I should have been doing

    I was MISERABLE, living in California, working a sucky job, and married to my future ex. It was perhaps the lowest period of my life.

    Man, it's great to think of how that all changed.

    I was 16 y.o., and at this time of the year was probably in Wyoming somewhere building fence for the summer. My family had just moved from WY to ID but my uncle asked me to come help him build fence.

    I was 10, living in Houston and going to Welch Middle School. One of the worst years of my life. My mother had just re-married and from that point on she forgot she had a son. I was the fifth wheel until they kicked me out when I was 15. I will never forget the pain they caused me. Im 34 now and still cant get over it. (I know, too much information)


    Ahhhhhhhh the 80's[xx(]

    I like that, woodshermit. I did the same thing in North Carolina twelve years ago. I need to change my name to woodshermit2.

    I was married to my first husband, working 45 -50 hr. weeks in
    a long term care facility as Rehabilitation Coordinator.
    Enmeshed in my patients, working like a dog. I did dress up
    like the Easter Bunny that year. Had an outdoor carnival for
    the residents. I took a 92 year old to the State Fair, and
    he refused to get off the roller-coaster. Wanted to "Go Again!"
    Still remember the long line of people laughing and waiting
    until I went to the ticket booth. He went a couple more times.
    Still have the photo of us dressed frontier style. He chose to
    wear a black cowboy hat with a flat brim, black suit jacket,
    holding a big gun. I'm wearing a wide brim hat with feathers.
    Fun times. Failing marriage, lonely, and putting all my energy
    into my work.
