My balls

[woodbuck27]

Got em snipped this morning; how long can I expect bloody underwear? Anything else I should know about?

By now you'll be lookin' to get back into the saddle again. Hope the first two days didn't cause you much financial strife purchasing Extra Strength Tylanol.

I find it disturbing that the "My Balls" and the "More Hamburger Helper" threads are so close in proximity.

Frick !! That post is hilarious. I nearly busted a gut laughing. Hahahahahahahaha .... Great post 'M'.

So this thread is about Howard divorcing?

Thought it was just about his balls getting snipped not removed.

X 2 Mad. How many of us here have traveled down that lonesome highway !?

Great moments in divorce history: Howard Beal signs off what he thinks is his final nightly national newscast:

"And I was married for 33 years of shrill, shrieking fraud. So I don't have any bullshit left. I just ran out of it, you see."

Sorry to hear that Howard. My kids were about the same age when I got mine. Keep your head on straight and keep your kids close to you....it will all work out.

Jesus, looks like nutz and I are the model of marital success around here. Let here who else is still with their first family before I become so depressed I leave mine.

That is a a lot to digest

Thanks, that’s my plan. It has always sounded as though you are doing well with your situation. You could teach my ex about how to be involved in a kid’s life though; I often get the “they didn’t want to go to practice tonight, so I didn’t make them” bullshit.

The kids want to go, it’s just too tough to break away from whatever is going on in her life to get them there….drives me nuts.

You're the one who signed 'em up for the kazoo lessons in the first place. You have no one to blame but yourself.

Is he trying to probe you?

Well this should teach me not to visit RR when the tease last post listed "My Balls..." as the latest topic. I should have known better.

Count me as Poster #4 still married to original. Other than never being able to balance the joint checking account, no regrets

Jury is still out on the kids because the oldest is trying to drive me nuts before they can drive. I think they want my car.

Yeah, I went through that early on.....dad complaining about all the running for sports stuff, more so with my son because he's always played 3-4 sports from little on. (sad for a dad to do that IMO....but anyway...) It was easier to just take him out of the equation with respect to that stuff. I was (am) pretty lucky with my job and can dictate my schedule in order to do all that running....granted I work a lot of weekends to make up hours, but it's worth it to me. I don't know, I've just always thought if you have kids you better be willing to give up at least 18 years focusing, whether it be by yourself or as a couple, on them to give them a good start in life. And back when they were 5-7 and first getting involved in sports they were told you can join anything you want but just know you won't quit anything you join...you'll stick it out and if you hate it, next year you will know better. Just always thought that would set the tone for commitment and not quitting on anything.

There's no doubt divorce sucks.....but just so you know some good CAN come out of it. I just really don't think I would have the relationship I do with my kids if I was still married to their dad. It's a tough job walking that tightrope between parent/friend with your kids but so far I've been able to keep the balance. (I know someone is watching over me ) I'm sure they dislike me at times but they still talk to me about things that I was never able to talk to my parents about.
