Hello All My Missing Friends :( « Thread Started on Sept 14, 2009, 11:59am »
Just wanted to poke my head in here and see how everyone's been doing lately (that is, if anyone answers). I know, I'm guilty too. We gotta figure out something that'll bring some excitement to this place. Anyone got a million dollars we can give away?
LOL!!!!
Anyway, as for me, I've filed for disability for my back (I have arthritis and 2 bulging discs, probably from sitting behind the wheel of a bus all day, then coming home and sitting in front of the computer) and for the disorders of my thyroid gland and my pituitary gland (neither of which work). I remembered recently (several months ago) of my doctors telling me during my childhood, that because of my gland disorder, that my immune system would always be weaker than most people, and that a cold could be as severe as the flu for me. I started thinking. See, I've been in the hospital 3 times in about 13 years; once in 1996 (had encephalitis, which is swelling of the brain, almost died), again in 2001 (had viral meningitis, very sick) and most recently in January of 2008 (when y'all were lookin' for me, they thought I'd had a stroke because I didn't know anything or anyone, never found out what caused that)
So anyway, I'm thinking "Well, if my immune system is weaker than most, and most of my jobs have been being around the public, some that could have been considerably less healthy than average, maybe that's what caused me to be in the hospital those 3 times."
So anyway, I filed for disability. I haven't had a full time job since I went into the hospital that January 21, 2008. I've done bits of this and that, and I had some money in savings to keep me going for awhile. I think this will be the best thing to do. I honestly don't think I could work a full time job right now.
Umm, let's see, what else..........
Oh yeah. My wife and I aren't getting along at all. Everything was fine and dandy when the paychecks were rolling in but, all of a sudden I have no more paycheck, and she starts turning different on me. We haven't kissed in over a year, hugged in over 6 months and had sex in over 2 years. So I think we're done. Which is cool with me because I'm just ready for it to be over. I knew I wasn't the type to marry someone, I'm too bullheaded and set in my ways. So I'm hoping and praying that I get my disability because then I can afford to rent me a house and I'm seriously thinking about moving back to my home state of Tennessee.
Anyway.........
My Hannah's 11,.........oh yeah, one more thing.......last year, at almost the end of the school year, Hannah was in P.E. Coach made them do laps around the building, right? So Hannah, she's always been a little on the chubby side, so she can't run as fast and as far as the slimmer kids. I'm sitting in my car, parked in front of the school, waiting on parent pick up, when she walks by my car, panting and sweating, trying to run. I told her to slow down and walk, that they could do nothing to her if she can't run. Hell, I couldn't run when I was younger, still can't, makes my sides hurt. She starts crying, thinking she'll get into trouble. So I tell her to come sit in the car in the a/c for a minute. Well, I didn't realize it was so close to school letting out. About that time, the principal and 2 teachers come out, going car to car. At first, I'm not thinking about it, then I think "I bet they're looking for Hannah." I get out of my car and yell for the principal, he comes to my car, sees Hannah and tells her to go into the school. I tried explaining that she was hot and everything. Nothing happens to Hannah but Cindy gets all bent out of shape about them marching her back into the school that she flippin' takes her out of school and signs her up for home school! Home school!!! Cindy knows as much about rocket science as she does about home schooling! And she never works with her on her books, and she's got Hannah so against me that Hannah won't work with me on them. I should also say here that we've been living with Cindy's mom for some time now. Since I was let go from work, we had no choice but to move into her house. She has a nice basement apartment set up, so that's what we're doing. So anyway, I can't say anything about taking Hannah out of school because everytime I do, I get threatened to get kicked out. I know no one in Alabama, I have no place to go here. So I shut my mouth when I shouldn't have. Now it's too late. Cindy doesn't say no to Hannah about anything. And don't get me wrong, I love Hannah more than anything on this earth and I'd die and go to hell for her a million times, but Cindy has absolutely ruined the child. Hannah knows I can't say shit or I get the "I wish you'd f**king leave" remarks.
I'll finish this later, my hands are hurting and I'm on Mom in laws computer and I think she wants on. I'll bbl.

well, well, well. hey billy. wow, i had no idea all these things were going on with you billy. well, not the homefront things anyway. i'm sorry to hear that this might not be the best of times for you right now. i hate to hear it really. i'm a little bit in shock and not real sure what to say. that's why i hadn't said anything yet but i wanted to let you know that i was thinking of you and that i hope your disability comes through and that maybe you and your family can work things out. i know sometimes our burdens are a heavy load and i can't imagine what you're going through. hang in there and cheer up a little. come see us when you can.

Thanks Renee. I know, sometimes when someone posts something, it takes me a day or two to figure out just what to say, lol.
As for me, I'm fine. Cindy and I are done with. I just hope one day Hannah can see exactly what has happened and know that I wasn't as bad of a person as her mother made me out to be. Hannah and I used to be so super close, now some nights she doesn't even tell me good night before she goes to bed. But I think she's starting to see some of her mother's faults, and our relationship, I think, is getting a bit better, slowly but surely.
Anyway, don't worry about me, I was fine by myself before I got married, I'll be fine by myself again. I've always been sort of a loner and a hermit anyway. I'll be great! I should've never gotten married anyway; I can't believe I did. Guess I was pu@@y-whipped
You know, it's funny, I never cheated on Cindy, I never gambled or drank our money away, I never hit her, I've always tried to do what she wanted, I took her out to eat and I still get treated like shit. I hate to wish bad karma on anyone but I hope, after I'm out, that she has the roughest, toughest time that she's ever had (in regards to jobs, bills, living, etc.) At least for a while. Make her see that she thought things were so tough with me, see how bad they are without me.

it's good to hear that you and hannah are coming to some terms maybe. kids eventually figure it out i think. as far as you and cindy, it sounds like you have accepted this and are ready to move on. i wish you the best of luck. i know you will be fine but it's still gonna be an adjustment. so don't forget that you can come here and find some of us some of the time (lol)-sorry....i couldn't help it, but seriously, i hope you know you can holler at us if you need us here. it's been what, 3-4 years now that we all got hooked up? shaking my head that it seems like a long, long time now. there may not be many of us hanging around anymore but there's a core of us anyway i think that connect pretty well. so keep in touch and keep working on that relationship with hannah anyway. your old lady will figure it out too. sometimes abcense makes the heart grow fonder. sometimes its too late for that but i'll bet it makes her think more about you, rather than your paycheck. just keep being who you are cause we think you're pretty neat around here.

It's going okay, Renee, still haven't heard anything back from disability. I guess I should have added that I was turned down for disability the first time, so I got a lawyer to help me. One of those "you don't pay us anything unless you win" kind of lawyers. So hopefully with his help, I'll get it. I'm just sitting and waiting for my court date.
Cindy and I haven't been fighting too much lately. I think the fact that she sees that I'm not going to fight back with her, has kind of taken the spring out of her step. I just let whatever she says go in one ear and out the other.
So for now, things are okay, I just try to stay out of her way. She has a temper and like I said, I have no intentions of fighting with her. Not yet anyway. I don't want to be thrown out as I have no where else to go (well, if bad comes to worse, I can always go back to Tennessee and stay with someone, but I'd rather not), so I keep in a lot. But when I'm able to move, trust me, I'm going to let her have it.

Lisa, welcome back! It's really good to see you. How are things? How's your granddaughter? And your old man? I'm on my way to make me a Facebook account. Being as things are so slow around here, maybe it'd be better if we all just keep up with each other on Facebook. Seems like that's where everyone's at, anyway. My MIL plays this game on Facebook about cooking and growing gardens and stuff. I gotta check it out. Hopefully I'll see you (and Tink and hopefully Dawn and Renee have Facebook accounts too).

(((Billy))) Sorry about you and Cindy. I know it must have been a difficult decision to make and if you need to talk, we're here for you.
As far as Hannah, there are tons of online resources for her in regards to homeschooling. If I remember correctly you're in Alabama. Here's a link explaining the home school law in your state: Alabama
LOTS of articles about homeschooling and the different styles are on this page including comparisons of homeschool vs. public/private/chartered school: Let's Homeschool
There's also MANY online sources for free homeschool curriculum/courses

Thanks Dawn, I appreciate it, really.
I've got so much to say but I can only write bits and pieces at a time so I don't bawl my eyes out.
Since I don't feel like crying, I won't say anything right now, but maybe later. Y'all won't believe the shit Cindy's done. Anyway, more on that later.

Thought I'd update you guys on my situation. I moved out and moved in with my sister, until I can get on my feet and get my own place. I kinda sorta had to, Cindy served me with an eviction notice about a month or so ago, and I moved out December 1st. It's not too bad, really. My sister lives in a small mobile home and I have my own room. It's funny though, because for some reason I'm not nearly as mad at Cindy as I thought I would be (or think I should be). I dunno, there's something still in the back of my head that keeps telling me that one day, we'll be back together again. Oh, the other day, I came over to see Hannah for a bit. As I was leaving, she (Cindy) pulled me towards her and kissed me on the cheek. I'm not mad at her, I realize she has needs that I wasn't able to provide (one of my medical problems), and if the shoe were on the other foot, I might have done the same thing. Hopefully one day, things will work out for the best.
My sister Tammy doesn't have internet (well, she has it, but it's so slow that I don't even bother with it), so I'll try to update here at MIL's house (where Cindy lives). Cindy told me I could wash my clothes here (I bought the washer and dryer) and take showers here, because Tammy's water pressure is so low. So that's why I'm here today, washing clothes.
Hannah and I are starting to get along better. She actually told me she loves me the other day for the first time in many, many days, and let me kiss her on the cheek. Heck, I'm starting to think my leaving was the best thing to happen in quite some time, lol.
Anywho, that's about it for now. I'm gonna go check my Facebook but I'll see you guys again soon. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
