Over n above the friendly n helpful comments from the great members of this forum, I want to say a big thanks to those guys who also sent me some PMs both on the site n to my personal email.

Hard to get over someone u loved every day for 17 yrs, but I will get there. The heart will probably stay heavy for a long time to come, but I guess I will just look back at the 17 great years n be thankful for that. My 4 year old son keeps me so busy, I don't get a second to stop. We are looking for a new daycare centre for him cause I moved about 20 kilometres from my previous house.

Seeing 40 machines in storage n not being played is also heartbreaking.lol
I know a Japaneese guy on youtube who has fitted about 30 machines into his 2 storey 3 bedroom townhouse (must be a world record) but stairs n my 44 yr old back are not that keen.lol
I will let the Japaneese guy on youtube keep the honours for the best pinballed out townhouse in the world.

I still have my massive spa bath that's in my new single garage with Gilligans n Fishtales looking on. In the townhouse is ACDC, X Men, Star Trek 25th n Starship Troopers. That's something at least. Maybe I will just have to rotate them.lol But paying $75 a week to store machines sux.....wat else can I do.lol

***check out this japaneese guys youtube channel n his 36 videos n his three bedroom townhouse packed full of machines. All mint, n I think he bought them all brand new. On one of the videos, he does the full tour of the full townhouse both upstairs n downstairs with machines in Every room. He must be single.
