Just when I thought I hit rock bottom
« on: January 17, 2010, 07:29:47 PM »
My wife informed me this morning that she's filing for divorce.   This past year has been one heck of a downer -- I lost my job,  I started a company with a partner who turned out to be a flake,  I had the IRS freeze my bank accounts as they say I owe them hundreds of thousands of dollar (which I don't), the bank raised my mortgage payment by 3X,  I just had surgery on Thursday after being sick for 4 months, and now this.  Thankfully I have my sly brothers otherwise there would be nothing worth looking forward to.

I'm sorry for the obstacles and tribulations that have been put in your path, it sounds to me that you are still in good spirits otherwise you would'nt be posting it here. Stay strong my friend.

Very sorry to hear that, Todd. I know you'll turn all this around.

Thanks guys for the words of encouragement.  Just knowing that there is a group of guys who are there to pick you up when things are down means the world to me.   Even if its just a "hang in there" message.   Thanks to all my sly brothers.

Todd, that bites.
Keep your spirits up, surround yourself with true friends & family, and appreciate all that is good in your life.

Todd.... I hope things turn quickly for the better for you.

Think about what AARRGGHH said above...... that's exactly what I did in the late Fall of 1994 when my life was at it's abolute lowest. A fresh start where nobody has preconceived notions about who or what you are. It was a life changing decision for me.

Sorry about your string of reversals.  As you said, we are here.  Try to deal w/ each issue alone, not all at once, and only one part of each issue at a time--keep the eye on the future.  You will get there, we promise.

Sorry to hear you're having such a rough time.  It never rains, but it pours, right?  I hope things get better soon.
