Has been a long time

2011-05-05T03:30:00.002-04:00

It has been a long time since I have posted. There have been many changes in my family's lives ,I lost my job in July of 2010 and was very lucky to find another one quickly. We moved from Indiana to pennsylvania . We are happy to be away from the same old thing but was a culture shock to a point , things are alot different here.Wife and I are trying to get our lives better though stressful , the shift I have to work now I rarely see her ,and kids are at the ages they are trying to go "hog wild" . I am going to keep looking for a better job hopefully dayshift so I am home when it counts. Iam looking for a job possibly in West virginia because it is alot cheaper there than where we are now . I will try yo post more often , Take care.

this going to be tough.

2009-03-03T21:11:00.002-05:00

Well since my Dad will be laid off I have to do my job plus his . It is going to suck But I gotta do what I gotta do for now. Things are not lookin good. There is a strong likelyhood I will not be there by next month. I don't know what to do.We are not getting enough work in to keep a float. This country has got to wisen up. And quit letting foriegn markets control this one. I am not racist but damn america can only take so much . the chinese, and brazilians are killin manufacturing here. I do not know why politicians in this country arent doing anything about it. Just stupid if you ask me. Why kill your country to be politically correct ? are they with us ? I do not think so. Take care of your own , That should be the mindset, That is the way I see it.

My work decided to keep me

2009-03-01T22:42:00.002-05:00

I was kept for now in the first round of layoffs. I have prooven over and over I am valuable to the company. I may still lose my job ,But the decision will be made the end of march for now.I get to go to work every day now wondering if it is my last, I think that is Bs but what can I do about it. I grew up at that place I am 33 now started there when I was 19. A damn long time to stick with a company. I was union went management now I may have to pay the price for doing so only because they would hire supervisors for my department than did'nt give a damn about the place. They could get a head hunter to find em another job ,And in the mean time I was doing the job.It makes me sick, But loyalty means nothing nowadays I guess . My dad is getting laid off friday and he has been with the company for 20yrs.Now I have to proove why I still belong there.to help make a company millions (which I have) and to be made to feel like you are a piece of crap is bullshit. I hope you all don't have to go through the same thing.And that is the way I see it.

I got some bad news today

2009-02-26T14:48:00.002-05:00

Due to the economic slow down next week I might be getting laid off from my job. I have been with the company almost 15yrs. I started out union ,Did that then I got promoted to supervisor 3 yrs ago. I was told the layoff would be temporary but I have never seen a company person brought back after bieng laid off. I don't know yet what Michelle and I will do jobs are so hard to come by nowadays. All I can do is hope for the best.

8 I am smart in some things dumb in others.

10 plan on bettering my life and those of my family.

work has slowed to a crawl.

2009-02-19T18:19:00.003-05:00

Well the company I work for has slowed to a crawl. We have went down to four days a week, Luckily I am salary so My pay won't be affected yet. That is not to say I couldn't be laid off. The global economy is so bad manufacturing doesn't have a chance right now. I work in a foundry . We make cast Iron parts for electric motors, water pumps , and many other parts. The cast metal industry in this country is in serious trouble due in part to the over seas market . China has dominated this industry because they charge alot less for the parts . But the quality is not there. They do not have to worry about environmental groups or safety regulations. And most chinese foundries are government owned. The stimulus package will not save this country , But what might is companies stay in this country instead of relocating over seas. The united states start buying and selling within itself instead of importing crap that we could make ourselves.Cars, radios, clothes, rubber dog shit the list goes on and on. This country needs to start taking care of ourselves instead of worrying about pissing off our nieghbors. The homeless rates in this country keep climbing higher and higher but yet you see the christians childrens fund or other charities want you to send money to little bow mow in bangledesh or somewhere, I say screw them for now fix ours first before we mess around in other countries back yards. They don't give a shit about us anyway most of em want us dead.I am not preaching hate in this post , not at all But I believe this country could be great again if We start looking out for our people better . Fix the healthcare system, create jobs that you don't have to ask if they want fries with that. you know things are bad in this country when alot of foreignors are going back home cause they cannot find work. My main point is this...Why kiss other countries asses for goods and services such as oil and other imports when we could do it ourselves that alone would pull the country out of the shitter. That is the way I see it

tribute to my mother inlaw

She died far too young and ,I know she would be proud of her grand babies how they have both grown up healthy and strong. And I Regret she will not be there when I take her daugter's hand in marriage for a second time.Her and I didn't always see eye to eye on alot of things,And for a time she didn't approve of me for Michelle , But I grew on her. She would give michelle and I advise from time to time whether we needed it or not. She had alot of struggles in her life.And had severe depression as a result.But she loved Michelle, and all of us and she will be greatly missed.

this is a very sick joke i just seen.

2009-02-12T20:23:00.002-05:00

A professor is giving the first year medical students their first lecture on autopsies, and decides to give them a few basics before starting."You must be capable of two things to do an autopsy. The first thing is that you must have no sense of fear."At this point, the lecturer sticks his finger into the dead man's anus, pulls it out, and then licks it. He asks all the students to do the same thing with the corpses in front of them. After a couple of minutes' silence, they follow through with his disgusting command."The second thing is that you must have an acute sense of observation: How many of you noticed that I stuck my middle finger into the corpse's anus, but I licked my index finger? ... I know very gross and vulgar guys and gals but struck me funny at the time . Sorry if anyone offended.

I want your opinions

2009-02-11T21:06:00.005-05:00

My wife and I watch a lot of the crime shows . In some states, I see if someone is on trial for something ,No matter what it is ,If there is a hung jury they walk away free .But in others they are put on trial again. Is that double jeopardy? Don't get me wrong guilty people should do time if they are found that way, but if a jury of your peers cannot decide is that not reasonable doubt. Innocent until proven guilty right. That does not mean have 2 or 3 trials to prove it. I am a strong believer you commit the crime do the time even if capital punishment for murder. But In my opinion the justice system needs an overhaul to make sure they have the right person before they go to trial . How many people have died for having been falsely accused ,Hard telling. My main point here is this unless you can prove it , one trial if you cannot prove it beyond reasonable doubt then by our founding fathers they are innocent. I would like your comments on this subject. I do believe justice should be served ,But make sure you have the right guy,or gal whichever the case may be. No more people should die for the wrongs of others whether criminal or government ,Which hard telling how many in history have. I would just like to see fair justice no matter what your status , Normal joe or famous don't matter. Yes I am on a rant but this country needs to shape up it has gotten beyond the point of sense. The justice system is not fair we all know it . If you have money you will get off if not you screwed. give me your opinions . And that is the way I see it

Another Tribute

2009-02-11T16:49:00.003-05:00

A few days ago on music monday week before last I did a tribute to Buddy Holly . But he is not the only talented and influencial musician That died that terrible day. So I wanted to do alittle something for another legend Ritchie Valens. Though he died at such a young age ritchie's music and after so many years ,is still remembered by so many .>

I was online yesterday ,and our daughter was playing video games in our son's room ,When all of a sudden I heard a loud boom! and a delayed cry . I ran in there and found sis a bloody mess. The tv had fell off the table and knocked her two front teeth out. So needless to say we rushed her to Er to get her checked out luckily the tv did'nt break her legs or feet or even worse crush her. She has to get a third tooth pulled next friday cause of damage . I always called her my lil ducky now she looks like one with her top lip so swollen . Poor baby. I usually freak at the sight of blood I did'nt yesterday like another side took over , It is strange how the parent thing can make you forget about the things that make you squeemish .She is getting back to her self today very little pain ,Michelle or I will keep you posted .. take care for now Randy .

Give the Man a chance

2009-02-09T14:51:00.002-05:00

Everyone needs to give the President a chance . Dems and republicans argueing over the stimulus package . I see both sides of the issues ,But both parties need to work together if this country is going to get out of the crisis it is in now. I believe the stimulus money should go to the middle class working stiffs like most of us are. The rich have enough money they don't need anymore. tax cuts are great but eventually the government wants it back. If you give out checks for working families they will spend it , I know I would . people would go buy puters, cars , you name it.many people believe Obama is the savior of this country , It is time for all Americans to give the man the chance to proove it . And that is the way I see it.

This is my opinion on the social networks

2009-02-08T15:31:00.006-05:00

Many of you have commented on my wife's blog about this subject, So I wanted to give my point of view of the subject. When I think of a social network , I think chainsaw, axe, gun,etc all usefull things but in the wrong hands can be dangerous. Single people 18 and over chatrooms and facebook, myspace, the list goes on and on that is fine but be careful, you do not know who you are really talking to. Now don't get me wrong many people have went on to meet someone and fall in love and eventually marry them, They are the lucky few. Child molesters use these sites to find prey, People that are unhappily married use them to cheat on thier significant other(meet someone to try to hook up later) It is really easy to get stupid online . When you do not know someone ,Do not for one: Don't tell them where you live, Don't send them things you would not want the whole world to see. The internet has become more advanced now than it ever was and you can do the research yourself but I am quite sure the divorce rate globally has risen because of the chatrooms and social networks as well as the exploitation of children . . My point to all the blogosphere is too be carefull ,And monitor your kids no matter how much it pisses them off. To me it does not matter what network ,This is a "network". I enjoy the friends I have made on blog It has helped to start to break the shell I have put myself in .I have never been a very social person ,because growing up I was bullied and picked on all the time. I hated my school years. I met My wife again after a long absence from eachother I knew very quickly I wanted to be with her till I took my last breath, But I made alot of mistakes from then till now. Drinking , trying to be right all the time , (thats my protective side that wants to help her make right decisions) even though she needs to find the right path on her own . Her and I have both hurt eatchother and it was selfish on both of our parts ,But I don't believe our love for eatchother has ever waived. It easy to say screw you ,"You know where the court house is "when you are pissed off. Her and I both know ,We would be lost without the other,We complete eatchother and I hope she feels the same as I .I am pretty sure she does. I still after all that happened in our long and recent past love my wife with all my being and never want to be without her.Folks I want to meet new bloggers out in the blogosphere ,You be real with me and I will be real with you ,That is my promise to you all .... And that folks is the way I see it

Sorry I'm a day late in posting but here is my Music Monday choice. Since yesterday was the Anniversary of the death of Buddy Holly I decided to post one of his songs "Peggy Sue"

The time is finally here!

2009-01-31T20:10:00.005-05:00

It is time for the game of games for all of us football fans superbowl sunday. My Colts didn't make it this year so i guess I will be rooting for the steelers. But not taking anything away from the Arizona Cardinals , that have finally went to the big one after decades of failing to get to post season contention . I believe the steelers defense will have the upper hand in this one they were the #1 rated defense in the leaugue this season.

Well you guys all have a good Superbowl Sunday . My next post will be for music monday. Take care, Randy

Are you guys over winter too?

2009-01-29T19:24:00.002-05:00

I am even struggling to find things to blog about ,It is so damn cold and a bunch of snow on the ground to really get out and do anything. When this spring gets here look out folks! I'll be a picture taking fool lol. There is nothing exciting really going on here , except the wife may need surgery yeehaawww . I have never been much of a writer or anything but now that I have started to in recent months , It sucks to get writers block lol . I really have nothing to talk about right now . Well guys I am alive I thought I would check in , I will be on in a day or so if I can think of something to talk about . Have a good one .

I would like to take this time to congradulate our new President Barack Obama. I sincerely hope he can fix this ailing nation. This country has been tortured long enough by the arrogance and stupidity of the last administration. My hope in the coming months alot of the wrongs are set right, People can start to find jobs , And troops start coming home. This country can be great again we all just have to all as a nation stand together behind our new commander in chief and hope for the best .... Good luck Mr President !

Well folks tuesday We finally get to shave the bush off the big pubic bone off of our country! Obama gets sworn in and hopefully he will fix all the messes that have been left behind. My hope is over the coming months , Is that the economy takes an upswing , Jobs get created , And our serving men and women overseas are finally brought back home to the families that have been waiting long enough. these last few years have been a joke when It comes to the political arena , Other countries see us as stupid and arrogant due to the poor foriegn relations of the current administration. My hope is Obama can help mend the fences between us and our allies , And maybe even make peace with those nations that are not our friends. Let us all pray that our great nation can indeed be great again. and ... That is the way I see it.

Big weekend for us football fans.

2009-01-17T15:01:00.002-05:00

Well for us football fans out there in the blogosphere it is championship weekend. The AFC , and the NFC titles will be decided. The winners go to the superbowl. The Baltimore Ravens will take on the steelers which should be an awsome game because both teams hate eachother. On the NFC side of things the philidelphia eagles take on the Arizona cardinals ( who haven't won a championship since the early 40's ) both games have pretty evenly matched teams , So turnovers and who has the better defenses will decide these outcomes. This football season was really interesting this season , Most of the higher popular and usual tough teams were eliminated early in the post season or before. I can't wait till next season , My colts will have a new head coach , I am curious to see if he can get my colts over the slump of bad play , And to get a running game going. Without a running game , you become one dimensional and don't win many games.

As I posted a couple weeks ago ,I was in an auto accident on december 23 . Well today I finally got my car back. It seems like it takes the auto shops forever anymore to get things fixed. Almost every time I take a vehicle somewhere to get it worked on I have no car for at least a week, or longer. mine came to 1700$ to repair, that had found more wrong once they tore it apart, But man, am I glad to have it back now. I hate relying on other people to get back and forth to work . And thank god for full coverage insurance lol.

On december 23rd We had a freak ice storm here. I went to the local grocery to buy nacho chips and some colby cheese for nachos. Well I got about 3 blocks away from home ( I was just creeping mind you) , I went to turn onto my street and my car slid to the left and slammed into a curb. I got lucky if I would have slid right I would have hit a light pole head on. Anyway I recently got the estimate of the damage to my car it equalled 1400 bucks in damage , Needless to say I about shit lol. The main steering assembly is busted , the rod that goes from the transmission to the left wheel was bent to hell. When I hit the curb at first I figured " ok I will just back up slow I didn't hit the curb that hard no big deal" wrong ! i backed up to get off the curb and my steering was completely gone and one tire was stuck left the other right . The weather was so bad the tow truck almost hit my car just trying to pick me up. The driver let me ride with him to my house , We got there and I got out of the truck and slipped and busted my butt on the street . So my lesson learned freezing rain I am keepin my happy ass at home .

My new years resolutions.

2008-12-31T19:48:00.002-05:00

Well first of all I would like to wish everyone a Happy New year. There are alot of things that I hope to change this coming year. For one I am going to quit drinking. Next I am going to quit smoking. Come hell or high water I am going to get our finacial situation under control. I am going to spend more time with family , and quit living like a recluse all the time. I am going to try to be less negative about things even when I have those days that everything I touch turns to crap. I would like to start working out and get myself in shape. These are just a few of the things I would like to change , If I listed them all I would be here till 2010 lol. So to all In the blogosphere have a safe and happy New year!

rest in peace suzanne .

Suzanne (liquid) horne, Was such a lovely , smart , artistic person .I do not understand depression totally even though i know I have it. She has two beautiful children , both of them seem healthy and strong . How someone could have so much love around them and not see it. My wife michelle and her were getting pretty close , suzanne was going to help us when we re-newed our vows in the coming spring . She said " I have friends that owe me favors " lol . she was an absolute brilliant and beautiful woman , and although i did not get to know her as much as I would have liked to have, simply because she is was a smartass similiar to myself .I hope she has found peace in herself and I hope someone is holding her and keeping her safe for all time . May you rest in peace sweet suzanne , And remember you were, and forever will be loved by all In your family and your other family the blogosphere . rest in peace .

I am totally mad!

2008-12-24T02:20:00.002-05:00

I went to the store earlier today, weather was bad . I should have stayed home ,But dumbass me went anyway. I was about a block away from home , my car slid into a curb , Now my car will not steer at all. Brand new car 2008 chevy aveo . I have only had it since may . What away to close out 2008. This year has sucked for me and our family . You guys already know about the summer events, We started bankrupt process , next day our son broke his hand. She went to doc the otherday cause she has a lump on her neck. The doc said it was a fat deposit and wants it removed. So we are going to get it fixed. I hope 2009 is better, But right now the " light at the end of the tunnel" I cannot see. Right now I am at a loss of what to do , Ihave a decent job and make decent money but.. Not enough to make it when bad things happen. I hope things work out soon, My sanity can only take so much.It is almost like the world is closing in around me. I try , and try and the Tires are just spinning in place. If you all have any ideas , They would be greatly appreciated.

Almost that time

2008-12-21T11:25:00.002-05:00

Well folks It is almost that time . The road to the Superbowl . There is one more week of the regular Nfl season left , and this year there are alot of surprise teams that made it to the playoffs this year. My Indy colts squeaked into it by beating Jacksonville thursday night .Next week the colts play the AFC south champions the Tennessee Titans . The colts have held that title for five seasons It should be a great game. Today the Titans take on the Steelers I hope they beat the titans up pretty good before next weeks game lol. Well all have a good day I will post my Music Monday selection later tonight .

What the Heck?!

2008-12-17T21:13:00.002-05:00

What in the hell is going on in this country. The Illinois governor tries to sell Barack Obamas senate seat , And the state supreme court does not want to pursue the case ?! I mean we all know politicians are bought and paid for ,but damn Why make it obvious.the politicians are so worried now about what other countries think about us , They need to be worrying about what is going on here. If things keep going the way they are , We will be a third world nation within the next 5 yrs. unemployment is at the highest level in decades , more and more companies are either shutting down , or moving operations over seas. I am sorry folks only so many people can work at Walmart, or Mcdonald's. The people in our country need to take a stand against the corruption and stupidity that is going on . Not be silent make our voices heard for change . All of the politicans now just tell us what we want to here to shut us up . Well... look where that has got us. And That is the way I see it.

history plus good news

2008-12-12T16:13:00.003-05:00

my wife and I have been married for the last 14yrs. We have been through alot more than most people that have been married twice as long in some cases. Not long after We got married she got pregnant , Which ended in a miscarriage. Our apartment caught fire a few months later and we were forced to live in another one but only a cockroach invested dump, One night I almost got shot by gangbangers that were running the streets near our apartment. We then moved raised our son , not always the best way we could have. In 2003 We were not getting along to well and a mutual friend of ours introduced us to a friend;s daughter , Who happened to be the biggest mistake of my life. She fed on the fact my wife and I wasnt getting along , and pretty much suckered me into sleeeping with her and eventually throw michelle out. We did separate for a time and I will regret it forever. We reconsiled and , not too long after We got pregnant with our daughter. We had her oct,14,2004. After pregnancy she dealt with postpartom depression which started to cause a rift between us. She eventually got over that . We have had fights off and on all couples do if you don't somethin wrong trust me. This past summer I was working alot of hours , so my moods were not always very good. For vacation this july I took her to New orleans , It is an awsome city. I went back to work still working alot of overtime . Tired and irritable alot , I admit I lost focus on family , and I regret . My wife was begging for attention and she found it online . She was on Facebook , and 4 guys were paying alot of attention to her ,and she got carried away and flirted with them and sent them bad photos. I consider it cheating on me , She believes it was a tease that went to far . I am not posting this to make her feel guilty for that . I am at fault for alot of things . For one I have a drinking problem , which she absolutely abhores which I intend to fix. All I ask from her is honesty and support and love.I have had to watch her self destruct for almost 3 years between 2005- 2006 . she found her Mom dead, and Her Dad. That is a hell of alot to take for anyone. Well now all have our messed up history now for the good part. Despite all both of our mess ups We have prooven we love eachother . We are going to renew our vows and make a fresh start. I love her more than life itself , and I know I would be lost without her , She is everything to me . I repeat this was not to make her feel bad about anything , We have both both screwed up big time . We fix our finacial situation and be honest with eachother at all times , I know our marriage with be unbreakable. I love you Michelle With all my heart and soul.

Sorry for those who disagree with me , But I am happy as hell OJ was sentenced to 15yrs today. I believe he should have got a hell of alot longer, but at least he is finally gonna pay for screwing up.The famous people always believe they are above the law, and alot of times the justice system prooves it. If you do the crime ,you should do the time no matter what your finacial status is , or your popularity . If you think back to the time of Abraham Lincoln " all men were created equal" , How long has this country still been treating the poor, or even the middle class like we owe the rich something. the crooked CEO's of "big business" giving themselves bonuses then having the balls to ask congress for a bailout. The politicians have got to change the way they run this country or we will be a third world country like alot of the mid east is today. And That is the way I see it.

Here are some examples of mine.13 ghosts, Friday the 13th ,halloween,the grudge, And nightmare on elm street. what is your favorite scary movie ?

Another excellent game

2008-11-16T19:56:00.002-05:00

Well another great week of the NFL season! My Indianapolis Colts won a very hard fought game against the Houston Texans, 33-27 . It was a total shoot out , both teams fought hard I commend the Texans on a good game. The hits were very hard , they looked like they were tryin to kill eachother out there, (my kinda football). Next week the Colt's take on the Chargers another big rival . Hopefully they can pull through to keep our playoff hopes alive . Go Colts!

My days as a backyard wrestler.

2008-11-12T18:36:00.009-05:00

Back In 2000-2001 I used to wrestle in a local wrestling federation.We were young and stupid and did the same things , you see on tv. We would have a wreslting show every sunday and local kids, and some parents would come watch our show. My wife michelle of Rusin Roundup was my manager . I had a blast when I was doing it , but injuries did happen . Wrestling is acting and matches are predetermined but you cannot fake gravity. Here are a few pictures from one of my matches . I am the bald one in white pants lol.

This is my finishing move the hangman's neck breaker. I was always the heel or "bad guy" when I wrestled ,and Michelle would often interfere with my matches to piss the crowd off and give me the advantage over my opponents.she has hit people with cake pans and ripped people's legs out from under them when I whipped them into the ropes. As I said before we had a blast doing the pro wrestling thing , but now kids and age have ended that . Hope you enjoy the post.

Happy veterans day.

2008-11-10T20:33:00.002-05:00

These are pictures of my late grandfathers whom both served during WWII . The other picture is of my Uncle Steve who served; not pictured my Uncle Terry Boyll who served in the Air Force. My baby brother Derek served in the Army. I respect our veterans and our troops for what they are doing for our country. Let us never forget.

another good matchup on sunday

2008-11-07T20:43:00.004-05:00

Should be a good game this sunday . When my indianapolis colts take on the pittsburgh steelers . Both teams fight hard when they face eachother . Indy beat New england by a very short margin last weekend , I hope they have a good game this week. The colts have been struggling this season with less than perfect play and alot of injuries to key players like bob sanders. He is a difference maker when he is in the game. Peyton manning has been playing hurt with a surgically repaired knee so his game is not up to it's usual. But hopefully my guys in blue can get the job done.

What We did this weekend

2008-11-04T18:32:00.006-05:00

This past sunday , The wife and kids and I visited the park we like to camp at during the summer just to see how great the woods and the lake look in the fall. We had a nice time , walked some trails and walked by the lake . I took a few pics so you guys could see.

random thoughts

2008-11-01T16:57:00.007-04:00

have you ever woke up in the morning and have felt like you are getting ready to enter the gates of hell?Of course I am talking about going to work lol . Sometimes it seems like some people make it a personal mission to piss you off.But you live through it day in and day out . Only to have more stress at home , Wife or husband bitchin( whichever the case )kids screamin and yellin . It is a wonder that every married couple with kids In this world is not insane . Then you get older and doctors expect you to take care of yourself . Don't smoke or drink , watch what you eat so you don"t get heart disease or diabetes What is that about ? I say live how you wanna live cause you could die tomorrow . Live to the fullest , do what you wanna do in life . Don't be stupid about it don't do things that endanger yourself or others , But have fun and live life how you chose to live it.If you wanna be some fat guy looking at puter porn and eating cheetos in your underwear I say more power to ya. If you are a woman that wants to have a sex change to be a man and only wants to date men .. hell more power to ya. the moral of my story is this folks love life , do whatever it takes in this life to be happy , life is way to short to stress the small stuff. Love your family and your country and do what you can to make this world a better place for the short time we are here. And with that I bid you all a good night.

2008-10-19T12:14:00.008-04:00

It won't be long now, My favorite time of the year halloween!!!! I have always loved this holiday for many reasons, decking out the house with monsters and putting a grave yard out in our front yard. I have always been a fan of the classic monster movies, and some of the new ones that come out each year. And of course I love the wild outfits the kids dress up in . I sometimes dress up and scare the trick or treaters , that's always fun lol . Happy halloween everyone.

He looked like a wresler spearing kids out on the field .He was even named mvp of the game by all the coaches . they won 13-0 against a higher ranked team. The picture above is my son's team , they have worked hard this year hopefully next week they can beat the next opponents

I seen this on some website , I thought it was funny . My puter recently blew up literally , fire shot out the back of it after I turned it on. interesting experience to say the least. now I'm on wife puter and praying I can get me another one soon, lol such as life.

is it just me

2008-10-07T22:12:00.002-04:00

Is it just me but all the new prescription drugs coming out now , the side effects are even worse than what they are tryin to cure in the first place. what the hell is that about. stomach cures you can get bleeding , gas , ulcers. but tell your dr lol you get a headache take something and it can give you liver damage or insomnia . The way I see it better testing needs to be done not make the public the test rats.educate yourself fully before taking any new drugs because alot of drugs now are being prescribed without total study fda may approve em but , that don't mean nothing .don't let the dr just tell you what he thinks is wrong with you make him or her proove it by testing ( i know it sucks sitting for tests) but don't let them just pass you up or hurry up and move you on for the next patient ) it is your body , and you only get one . thats my piece for this evening good night all randy

to my wife

2008-10-07T21:50:00.002-04:00

I have known you almost half my life, you have put up with alot of things from me . You ask why I love you , well let's see for starters you have always accepted me for my faults , given me two strong healthy children , put up with more things in your life as of late that nobody should have to. I have never stopped loving you and never will . you are my world , and as long as we are completely honest with eatchother we will make it . think of the things we have overcome. miscarriage, housefire, cheating(both) loss of loved ones. Hell we have been through more in 14 yrs than alot of couples have been through . but what don't kill ya makes ya stronger. Ihave always tried (even though somestimes you think it's a lecture) to help you be more independent in case god forbid something happens to me . I just want you to know I love you with my very being and want us to grow old and grumpy together , and me still even with a walker try to chase you around for nookie (lol) I love you michelle............. randy

I am back

2008-10-05T19:38:00.000-04:00

hello all ! I have been gone for a pretty long time , but I wanna give this blogging thing another try, Maybe it will be a good way to get things off my chest . My wife and I had alot of problems , this past august and part of september . She done some things that she normally wouldn't have done . Talking to strange men on the computer behind my back and sending them nude photos of herself. But I know now she didn't mean to hurt me , she was in a very dark place at this time in her life perhaps a midlife crisis I don't know , All I can hope is that nothing like that ever happens again .I believe she has learned by her mistakes and her and I can move forward and do whatever it takes to make eachother happy. alot of you guys know my wife, michelle of rusin rounduphttp://rusin roundup she is going to help me get my blog up and running again. So this is my first post , I will try to post often and hopefully make a few friends along the way. take care randy
