hpdblues Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Hello Rob, I AM SO HAPPY to see that there is MORE to "SANDTROOPERS" than a little ABS & styrene plastic & a pretty face! A heart AND soul are much in evidence my brothers and sisters. On this beautiful blue-sky, cloud-free Hawaiian Sunday morning, please allow me to add my heart-felt thanks to "The Maker" for all the blessings I have received throughout my 49 years on this floating mass of earth & stone spinning away through our own universe. For my darling wife of 19 years, Faye, who stuck with me through thick AND thin - I LOVE YOU. (I've also enjoyed that little Mickey Mouse sleeping tee that you wear when...oh, ah, never mind! And thank you for all my TE armor!) For my two "masters of disaster" Jessica AND Jonathan, Daddy loves you! For my two chi-poms, Samantha & Buster, Daddy loves you too. (Except when you guys pee on the bathroom rug ) I would encourage all my friends and associates here on sandtrooper.net to say a small prayer for those less fortunate than ourselves that they WILL find comfort AND companionship this upcoming holiday season. During this time of armed conflict, I will say a special prayer of thanks and for safety for the Armed Forces of the United States of America, AND for those military forces of other countries deployed throughout the world in the name of Peace. For all my fellow law enforcement officers, EMTs, doctors, nurses, and ALL the others who keep our society running day in and day out who will be working on the holidays, bless you. Lastly, I pray that God blesses ALL of YOU this holiday season. Thanks to ALL of you who have interacted with me, guided me, AND offered me assistance and encouragement throughout my journey to the dirt-side! I REALLY enjoy hearing from all you! I hope you all continue to participate AND enjoy the fellowship here on the "best **** website this side of the outer rim terrorities"! Tony "Guns" SAGUN ePS: Save some white meat & gravy for me!

locokarma Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 What I am thankful for. Family and Friends (new and old) Without either can be a lonely existence. I am thankful that I have a job, a bed to sleep in and a roof over my head. I am very blessed that I have lived a good life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooperexpert Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I am thankful to my dear friends. They looked out for me this week and when my world came crashing down on Thanksgiving, they were here to help me through the tears. Sad, but I now hate the holidays. My wife just left me and we are getting a divorce. No chance of reconcilliation as she says she needs to 'find herself' and cannot do that tied down... Happy Holidays to you all, I hope they are better than mine are... TE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I felt the same way when I got divorced. Papers were served to me on New Years Eve, 1999. It seemed the world was ending. Fast forward a few years, several girlfriends, and now I'm re-married with a beautiful daughter. In hindsight, losing her allowed me to find someone I was more compatible with long term. I know it's tough now, but my belief after these experiences is that when one door closes another opens, and to things and people that make you happier than what you had before. I'm very sorry for your loss, I know what you're going through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest assured however, that you'll have a sympathetic ear with us and that we wish you nothing but the best with whatever path you take from here.

TD-1536 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Thanks for all the kind words guys. I am really in a bad place right now and I am trying to move on, it is just hard to do right now. Thanks.. TE I think we've all had similar things happen around the holidays and it really puts a dark cloud over them for years to come. I was in a funk for almost ten years... but stay strong! You have friends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PNerves Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Must be the season.... my ex told me she wanted a divorce 3 days after Thanksgiving 2000- for the same reason yours gave you TE. But, like Daetrin, I am now in a better place with a great gal. It all comes around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooperexpert Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I hope you're right... I am so upset that I could not make things better enough for her to stay. But she needs to goand find herself. I wish her the best and will always be her friend. It just hurts to lose her when the love is till present on both sides. But, better to find out now, and not 10 more years down the road... TE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMANavy Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Long time ago I was dumped the day after chirstmas when I was 18. Really sucked hard at the time becuase it was serious (to an 18 year old). Now I am in a WAY better place with a girl that really loves me and who I got engaged to on the 18th.

Caomhanach Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 TE: It's sad to see someone who has given so much joy to others so down. We are all here for you... I got engaged to on the 18th.Congratulations. I wish you both all the best. Now I know why you're spending more time down in CA!! (Good luck on the 501st application!). For me, I am waiting patiently (or not so) for the birth of my 3rd daughter. She is due in the new year and I am thankful that so far she is healthy, strong, and big (10 weeks to go and already 5lb!). It is great to know you guys out there, all over the world, and thank you all in making the journey to the 'dirt' side fun, enjoyable and thoroughly worth it. I hope my 2 cents over the year has been useful, and I hope I can help the newbies (and not so newbies) with their questions/problems in the future.
