Being a father of two, moments like that are priceless. When I've had a crappy day & I walk in the door & my 7yr old daughter runs over & gives daddy a huge hug it's all better. Use those memories to carry you through it all.

Hopefully 2010 is a better one for you, just keep your chin up, and keep in mind that there are many folks out there dealing with far, -and I mean far- worse things than divorce, hail damage, and a blown snowmobile motor.

What do you complain about? I don't even have a girl, or a car to work on, no free time, prep school sucks, I have to make my military service, my parents aren't supportive enough, I have to do everything in this house because everyone else is totally useless, but I'm the black sheep ''who does nothing'', but I'm the most active member of this family, I also work with my father and he gives nothing to me, no even thanks or something like that, luckily my parents love me enough to not kick me out of the house, but they know they make me feel like I'm ****, when I do more than what they ever wish they could do.
Happy new year

I really don't think Eric was trying to say he is any worse off than any of the rest of us. Just that it was not a great year and hopes 2010 is better. Like a lot of us are hoping too.
I am sorry your situation is not so good/fun either. I think many of us here can agree that we all want a better year this time around. Hope yours is better too.

just want to clarify I am not looking for sympathy from anyone here.that's just not me.I was just stating that year sucked and not just for me and I know that it can always get worse, and there are lots of people with more and bigger problems than mine.like I said in my post that I still feel blessed to have a job,a family and I wish a better year for EVERYONE not just me.hope more people do not read this the wrong way. just sayin.GOD BLESS EVERYONE and hopefully 2010 is better for all.

I understood how you meant it Eric. It's all good. I agree with what you said and hope we all have a good 2010.
My reply to the other poster was to say exactly that.
