Been away for apx 4 or 5 months.
Didn't look at the AP site like I used to daily. Was too busy fighting fires. Had apx 50 pages to catch up on reading. That took 2 x entire days. Phew.
Four or five months ago, I got separated/divorced after 17 yrs marriage. Pretty sad.
I have my 4 yr old son fulltime, there was no way he wasn't coming with me 100 percent.. The X took the 12 yr old daughter n didn't want the son at all.
Women go nuts with early menopause at 35 etc.
In all, its been a lousy 2013. I bought 3 new Sterns during 2013, and that was great things/highlights, plus some other machines....that was the upside, the downside was after 3 medical operations n being in n out of hospital for 2 or 3 week stays at a time, the wife didn't like the fact that huge money wasn't flowing her way like it had been when I was running the Security business 6 days a week. Prissy princess had it good for 16 n a half years, the last 6 months she had to stick to a budget.
Somewhere along the way she forgot the "thru sickness n in health, thru good times $ n in bad times $".
She thought she could pressure me whilst I was in n out of hospital to sell half my pinball collection and give her fifty grand for a new car or she would leave.
I said see ya later, the pinballs are staying. Extortion didn't get her anywhere. All her man hater girlfriends told her to kick me whilst I was down, it didn't work.
I kept every pinball n said goodbye to someone I loved n adored, but some people change overnight n just go off in a tangent for absurd reasons.
Every dollar I spent on a pinball in the last 5 years, she got the same $$ for whatever she wanted to spend her money on. Greed comes in all shapes n forms, n her manhater girlfriends wanted to borrow $$ from me, I said no way hosay, I have only known u a few weeks, why would I lend u 25 grand or more n u have no business plan etc.
In the end, the wife thought she would side with her friends n just keep the pressure on, it didn't work.
Best to be happy n single with pinballs, than to be unhappy, without any pinballs, than with someone who just wants to spend n waste my lifetime of hard work n savings. Her girlfriends never had any plans to ever pay me back. That was a given.
The future. >>>>
Live for my 4 year old son.
Raise him well.
His mum didn't bother ringing or visiting him for his 4th birthday on dec 19, or for xmas. Sad. But when some women get nasty, they do crazy stuff.
Will thin the pinball collection out again, buy some new Sterns, n will pop in the AP site from time to time.
Motto of the year. You never see a pinball cheat or take off on you. Mans best friend isn't a dog, its a pinball machine.lol
Hope every member has a great 2014.
Cheers.
