tnttim Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 I would have to say this very humbling for me to thank everyone here for their help. I thank the one's that kicked me in the as* and woke me up the most...you know who you are I celebrated my 10th anniversary with my wife yesterday and I can say for certain that I would not be typing this right now if it wasn't for all of your help. My family is in debt to all of you and I am glad that I stumbled upon this site a cold october day. So to all of you going through the hardest time in your lives, thank a veteran on here. They have offered up a lot of sacrifices and words of wisdom in only hopes that another human being would not to suffer like they did. They offer a hand and a pat on the back when we need it the most. They also offer a good kick in the butt when we really really need it the most. I have fought and tangled horns with many people on here and I do appreciate their help as well, maybe the most. They see through my bull and offer me up some reality when I need it. So thank you, thank you, thank you, and my wife and kids thank you as well:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
spriggig Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 This is where I turned when I realized I was becoming a burden on my limited circle of friends. Yes. Thank you all.
tojaz Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Happy anniversary Tim! :bunny: Not sure if I've been a friend or an enemy (probably a little of both) but I'm happy for you and how far you've come! Congrats!! TOJAZ
mikeymad Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Tojaz, I think he's talking about toeing the line as "frenemies" We love to hate each other but hate to love each other. I want to send out a thank you back to you TNT. You made people think, even if it was when you riled them all up. We need a fox in the henhouse every once in a while. Don't doubt yourself as a source of knowledge now as well. I value your input, as I'm sure others do. Congrats on living the dream. We live vicariously through you.
Gunny376 Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Congrats on making it to the Big Ten-O! But you've got to give yourself some credit! You "identified your weaknesses, and sought self improvement" Now? Keep on keeping on in doing so! If you learn about inter-personal relationships and personal finance and make both subject a life long study ~ that is say become a scholar of such? You will have solved more than half of your problems in life. I'm curious (Not that its any of my business) as to any comments that the wife may have made about you? As in "Before" and "After" I know enough about women to know that if you hadn't made substantial changes and improvement in yourself that you wouldn't be celebrating your tenth anniversary. When one is married "change" in inevitable and resistance to such is fruitile. The trick is to have the SO/Spouse asking in a positive light and way ~ "Who is this person that I'm married to, and where is the person that I married?" Ya gotta' keeping em' guessing a wondering, and surprised. Like in the movie "Pretty Woman" where Robert Gere and Julia Roberts keep surprising one another, laughing and giggling. And you've got to get and set your priorties in life. Are you living to work? Or are you working to live? I know plenty of people that earn a six figure income, have the 3 or 4K sq. ft house, the BMW,the ski, pantoon, and bass boat etc. And their own their second, third, fourth, fifth and even sixth marriage? What good is all of that if you end up single and alone?
trippi1432 Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Grrr.....Gee thanks Gunny....referencing your post..sigh. At any rate, congrats on the 10 year tnttim....first of all, you became "aware" of what was going on and you worked on it....that's admirable. You made it to this milestone....second accomplishment. Don't stop here though, it is a process that is never-ending. With each milestone, there comes a new learning...maybe even before that....my grandpa told me that and he was a wise old man. To offer up thanks....my first thanks goes to Tojaz :love:...as much as I rebelled, many lessons, second...to my Rum friend Gunny:o:o:o (it's my island, get the he** off and no I won't change my avatar...suffer..lol), PW:rolleyes::mad:....great convos, much luck to you and yours, Lisa and Nobby:bunny::bunny:...my favorite UK friends (going to come knocking one day Nob for that shopping trip...hugs...luvs ya)...and to FL98, Steadfast, Gallon and FloridaPad..keep moving and do what best for you. SHB, Broken and Dazed and Confused (who I never hear from anymore)...hugs.
Gunny376 Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 You'd be proud to know! That I don't drink any more! Trouble is? I don't drink any less! Where's the rum! Why is there never any rum?
trippi1432 Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Cuz I hid it all and it's my d*mn island.....I claimed it...har-de-har....;)
Gunny376 Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Its just when I see your avatar? This song plays in my head? Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees] Black velvet if you please Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave White lightening, bound to drive you wild baby's in the heart of every school girl Black velvet and that little boy's smile
trippi1432 Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Its just when I see your avatar? This song plays in my head? LOL...Black Velvet...good song. I will dedicate that to you the next time I sing it.
anne1707 Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Congratulations Tim Our anniversary means even more to us now, knowing that we are still together and happy against the odds
hopesndreams Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Happy Anniversary and Easter Tim. Be sure to get back what you give in your M and don't take anything for granted. She got her second chance and if she screws up again, well, you know what to do, right?
Author tnttim Posted April 5, 2010 Author Posted April 5, 2010 I'm curious (Not that its any of my business) as to any comments that the wife may have made about you? As in "Before" and "After" She wrote this on a poetry site where I wrote poem about our separation [/url] Today is the last day Today is the first day I love those lines, I love you and here is another I'm sorry. I'm sorry for hurting you so deep I'm sorry for all the secrets I chose to keep. I'm sorry that I left the palace that you made. I'm sorry my scent had once begin to fade. I'm not sorry for the hurdle we over came, I'm not sorry that I always take the blame. I'm not sorry for the end. I'm not sorry because today is where we begin......... She also comments on she doesn't have to walk on egg shells around me anymore.
