Mike,,,it has been my experience that you can make stats say whatever you want on a specific subject.
I will do what I can to surround D9 with love and some semblance of morality. So far so good (I think) but I am just one of the actors laying the foundation.
It pains me to think that my six year old daughter has grown up only knowing that mom and dad fight; mom calls the police on dad; dad and mom rotate bed/sofa; dads and moms do things separately.
I can only support what others have already said. Continue to show love to your kids. Continue to be a role model to your girls and show them all the love you can. They will pick a man based on who YOU are. Keep to the high road and never forget that words are like knives. Denigrating your ex is like stabbing them in the heart each time. We don't need to do that.
Now to Kerry and the PWD. we are doing a car called The Wing. It is a very thin wedge shaped car, thinner than last years. We are using tungsten weighting in small compartments chiseled out underneath the car and will use tungsten beads to adjust weight on the day of the race. Justin has chosen a Yankees theme, so, I ordered some decal paper to print out some Yankee stuff to decorate the car. Not sure if we will paint the car white (which will show dirt etc) or blue.

Tungsten? I take it that is heavier than lead. We bought the coin inserts to stick on the back of the car so as to add coins at race time to meet the exact weight. I just have a spring postal scale and use his prior cars to calibrate to 5 oz.
Kerry et al, I'm proud of the way all you guys and holding up!!! Most guys would have hit the road or the bottle by now. My D is in the final stages and I'm battle weary now tho' it seems like an endless war against the "axis of evil". My S9 and I quit Cub Scouts because he was missing more than half the activities as mom believes the Scouts is an organization for "sexual abuse" - what a shame - we won the PW Derby last year and used quarters for weights - what a thrill that was for us. In my case I worry more about my D13 absorbing mom's rotten values.
My XW shows little interest in her own participation in the cub scouts or girl scouts. But she is willing to make concessions for the kids to do events that occur on her time. Usually it allows me to have some additional one on one time with each child.
Fb2, I hope your battle ends soon. Once the legal stuff it over, it will be a big weight off your shoulders.
That goes for you too Frank. Both you and FLTC are in very difficult situations with Borg-like women intent on causing as much destruction and damage as is possible.
by showing your boy the book, you do realize that you've affected him for life, right? I mean, I saw it once probably 35 years ago and I still remember that hen.
I just found out yesterday that a Capon is a castrated rooster (special internal operation called caponization). Apparently their meat is better than a hen. I wonder if that shuts up their crowing. I know it would make me shut up around the person that did such a thing to me.
Kerry, I'd lock it, if I knew how. As you know, technology is not my finest talent. Speaking of which, know a nearby geek? My new laptop is giving me a little trouble. I'll be in your area today, trouble w/ S16, nothing too major. Cell's on.
My X is resisting letting D6 get involved w/any activities, so I'm going to have to find things we can do together on Thursdays as that is the only guaranteed day I have her.
