TrueBlueGED Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Lousy Sabrespace, disappearing and making me be productive Way to be a quitter. I rejected the cosmic calls to be productive, and found other ways to waste time :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabel79 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I took my wedding ring off this evening. I won't be putting it back on. This is not awesome. What is awesome: the realization that things are going to be ok. My wife will, in 18 months or so, no longer legally be my wife. We're going to act as if it's the case sooner than that. We'll always be partners though, in terms of the continued raising of our child. Both of us grew up with divorced parents who gave us shining examples of how not to do things. Lessons learned, we move on. Sooner than later we'll have to sit our daughter down and explain to her what's happening. ripping her world in half doesn't seem like a good idea, but keeping things as they are is probably worse. Kids aren't stupid and she's no exception. She already gets most of it. It'll be fine. We redefine our family and move on. So much the better. Sorry to lay this on Sabrespace, but I have no place else at this exact moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabel79 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thanks, Taro. The reason it ended up in the awesome thread, and the thing that I realized extremely recently is that it's not as troubling now as it was yesterday, and things are going to be ok.

Sorry to lay this on Sabrespace, but I have no place else at this exact moment... Been there, done that around 6 years ago with an almost 3 year old son. Wasn't the easiest transition, but has been for the best. Happily married to someone for 4 years (today, actually), with a beautiful 2 year old daughter and another kiddo on the way in January. I'm on decent terms with my ex, and we have joint custody of our son, splitting time 50/50 (week on, week off). The best advice I can give is to always make sure you're the "stable" parent for your daughter. If your wife does it too, then your kid will certainly be fine. But if she doesn't, then you'll be the backbone for her. I like to think I've been able to do that for my boy. My ex has really had her ups and downs, but at least what he always has from me is stability and consistency. That has never wavered.

Randall Flagg Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Just got back from 4 hrs of roller hockey at the park. First time I've played with more than 1 or 2 people in 2 years. So good. Even worth the hell I'm going through right now as my gall bladder picked today to flare up for the first time in a month. This scrawny 10 year old came up to the rink in blades with 3 wheels each, and the ruubber completely stripped off the front wheels, and he kicked our . We called him Jack Eichel. So cool. That kid's at least making the CHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMWR100RT Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Went to All Greater Rochester awards banquet. My son is an awesome Nordic skier. Great event with Kyle Williams and Jack Eichel. Great interviews by Sal M. Anyway Jack admitted he was proud to be at awards but would rather be in Vegas. You could feel the fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'm going to see a hockey game in Montreal on spring break this season. Was hoping they'd be at home that week, and they are. Bucket list item crossed off. (Also, obviously, visiting Montreal is pretty cool in and of itself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Ramadan is awesome. About 2 hours to sunset and I am closing my office for the day. Thanks for the good wishes everybody. Hold the fort will ya while I am gone. See you in about 30 days, or so. Quoting myself, here. The new moon has been credibly reported in much of North Africa. This year it was decided to use the Universal Sighting method to determine the end of Ramadan, which means if any member of the world wide network of official moon sighters sees the new moon we would all accept it. In Arabia they have announced Eid starts at sunset tonight. I am still fasting, as it is still Ramadan here in Halifax until sunset, which is in about 2 and a half hours, but I may not be online later. Ramadan is ending and it was a very good month. As usual, I miss it already. So, what did I miss? Salam / Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Bout all you missed was an apparently uneventful draft & JB's determination that keeping MODO was worth Carrier & a 6th. & Sabres also added a Hab D that may project to 2nd pairing.

Chz decided to finally reveal that pic that she's been teasing us with since about 2006. Ink & his wife are pregnant again, this time with a tadpole, which is a little weird. TrueBlue watched a NatGeo thingy and now identifies as a hyena. Other than that, it's been pretty normal. (You didn't miss anything.)

I was actually a bit concerned for him on the wedding day, because it was HOT outside. We took our pictures before, so we spent a lot of time running around outside before the ceremony, which was also in the bright sun. But of course he is accustomed to the fasting, so he was just fine. We set aside food and dessert for sundown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
