8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 7

[kap158]

We are starting to get freezing rain here and then snow later. That means the stores will have a run on bread and milk. The schools will probably be closed too. We transported northerners know how to drive in this and we just chuckle at this.


Talk to you later!

My wife cannot stand the taste of coffee but loves when I make it as well. I wonder why that is?

I've pulled my oldest son over to the dark (roasted) side. SWMBO drinks nothing but Diet Coke -- no tea, either.

Sisters Unite!!! I'm a DC Drinker too. Coffee will never touch these lips....blugh

[O'BWV]

I have learned over time that the Norm is to have dysfunction in the family. I manage to let go of my anger and get past most of my abuse. It make a long story short when my father told me his father held him by one arm out over the railing in a forest fire watch tower and threatened to drop him when he was just five everything he did to me fell into place. I realized the battle he must have fought aas a child and as an adult began to understand that he did his best.

He has mellowed over time and I can stay with him for about one week before I begin to revert to childhood mode. I understand and support those who have choosen to distance themself from family that are toxic. My father did the same with his family. His parents has since past but he doesn't even know where his sister is.

For me I still struggle to believe I am a worthwhile person. I was told that I was selfish, self-centered, fat and that no one would love me. I was told this so often that I believed it. I developed an eating disorder and refused to wear anything that looked good on me. Even though I was only about 10 to 15 lbs over weight I felt like I was 100lbs over weight. I allowed myself to be used as that was the only way I felt I could have friends. I'm 52 years old and still struggle with body image (now I'm at least 30 lbs overweight). I struggle with standing up for myself cause I sure don't want to make anyone in my life mad so that they willleave me. However that only makes it worse cause them the feeling surface later on and I can't control them. It is a daily process of recovery. One I wish both my parents had been able to reach.

However, through my recovery I see that what my parents did was what they thought would make me do better. They thought they were doing the right thing because they didn't have any better role models. I tried to do better with my kids and I hope they do better with theirs. This is just my story. I'm sure some of you can relate. Thanks for letting me share, Lois

Lois thanks for sharing your story. I can relate as I suffer from alot of the same issues as you and for alot of similar reasons. You sound like you've got your head around the whole thing and are recovering well. I wish you nothing but strenght and happiness my friend

Better coffee a millionaire's money can't buy.

Well obviously the fact that half my family got arrested at my wedding proves we are far from "normal". But I also grew up with an abusive mother. She was more emotionally abusive than she was physically abusive, but she was good at hitting us with whatever she had handy. My Dad was a Fire Chief & he died of cancer at age 56, when I was just 16 years old. Both my parents drank a lot & had a very volatile relationship. My mother smoked most of her life, has emphazema & is not doing well these days. The older she gets, the nastier her disposition becomes. One of my older sisters lives nearby & cares for her, but honestly I don't know how she does it. I call my mother occassionally but I keep the conversations very brief. She would not understand why & she would deny any wrong doing. She truly acts like a child & she would be bewildered & hurt if I told her how negative she is. The poor me syndrome.

When I decided to have children of my own, I knew I didn't have a good role model, but I knew I wanted to do the complete opposite of the things she did. I know a lot of people say trust your instincts, but honestly I was afraid I didn't have any, so I read a lot of books, like Dr. Spock, What to Expect books, etc. & they really helped me to make some good decisions as far as dicipline, encouragment, etc. My goal is that my children will grow up well adjusted, happy, and kind hearted. So far they seem to be heading in that direction, but I haven't quite hit the stinky teen stage yet!

Thanks for sharing you story Diane. I too turned to books for help. But I swear if it wasn't for my well-adjusted DH, my stinky teens would probably be alot stinkier. Now where is that cordless blender when you need it!

A big for you Pal

Hey Andrew...thank you for remembering the "cry".....maybe you should be Best Actor!!! Tell Elton hello from me I love his music. Did I tell you we'll be seeing The Police in August. Do you like them?

 

[darthrugby]

Blah, Blah, Blah, Rugby!
Six Nations Report

Italy's first away win in the six nations was a fantasctic showing. Italy scored 3 try's in the first 6 min of the game and converted all to lead 21 to 0.
Scotland fought hard to inch it's way back but Italian scrum half Troncon sealed the coffin with a spectacular 5 meter out try in the second half.
Scotland 17-37 Italy

France had a super home match against the Welsh. It was a tough go for the red dragons as they were devoid of their hair bears. Fly half Jones brought his multi capped experience to Paris only to be dominated by the relentless French.
France 32-21 Wales

The English were creamed by the Irish (sorry Andrew)
Ireland 43-13 England

Congratulations to All on their Honorary Academy Awards!


Mary Rose, who will you be wearing to the awards ceremony?

Someone asked me if I had a police record, I said I have been a good boy all my life. Last time I saw the police it was in a speed trap.
( I do have an album)
Actually I would love to see Sting Stuart Copeland etc in concert will be good.

Elton yes I will give him your reguards tommorrow morning, WARNING, remember his hair (wig) can go down as well as up!

What a support group the people on this thread has become over the past few weeks. I thank each of you for your willingness to share your joys and your hurts, and have allowed me to do the same. It feels as though some healing has taken place from the past.

With all that I read before going to bed last night on this thread, I had a dream about my step-dad last night. I must say, for the first time of having dream about him since he passed last April, I didn't wake up in a cold sweat. It was though I said a final good-bye in my dream, and have decided to let the past be, life is way too short, to hold on to the hurts of the past any longer. For this, I thank each and everyone of you who have shared your life's trials and journey. You are an amazing lot, thank you!!!!!!!!!

Andy! I remember when you step-dad passed last year. In fact, I remember a few bad things happening last year. I hope indeed this is closure because you are right, life is way too short. And Ialso agree with you that this is a really amazing group of people.
