    Hey, my old buddy Frank and Beans just woke up from a long sleep! Seems he ate the frank and left the beans aside. Seriously though brother, it is good to see you back on the forum and back in the world. It's been a while since we've talked; perhaps we need to talk again.

    Chvymn99 mentioned the spring gtg and yes, we'll start a thread on that probably pretty soon. I sent out a feeler on the what the guys thought about a date. Easter comes in late this year so the gtg will also be a bit later. Right not it looks like the weekend of May 4 but could also be the week before that. I would prefer the May 4 date for several reasons. 1. Warmer, especially for the campers and party goers at night. 2. Will give me just a bit more time in the spring to get ready. 3. Turkey season has been opening on the same weekend that our gtg happens and having it May 4 weekend would give the hunters a better time. 4. I think by that date the guys will be chomping at the bit to get out in the woods. 5. Our early question to the guys came in almost unanimously for the May 4 weekend.

    Hi Dennis! Hard to believe its almost gtg time again. I know it is a lot of work planning them out. It seems like every time we talk you are planning for a gtg!

    Welcome back Frank and Beans
    :cheers:

    Glad to hear that you weathered the storm. Sucks to go through, to be sure.

    As others have stated, your kids will see the truth over time.

    The emptiness sucks doesn't it ?
    Kids: All you can do is be there for them. They get older and wiser. Usually.
    Sounds like maybe you're getting the better end of the deal with a better BFF.
    But yeah, a splitting and stacking BFF is a +.

    I was just thinking of you Frank and Beans as I remember when the bomb went off for you. Been there too. It's been 15 years for me now and I understand the son thing. Had 2 of my own and acquired a step son when I remarried 13 years ago. My youngest that moved with my ex we are still not close but I just keep doing the right thing and pressing on. My oldest that stayed with me just shared a good talk with me about the youngest son. I'm sure you can figure out who chirped in his ear the most. I had him over a few years ago and told him there was fault on both sides and I had forgiven his mother. In the talk with my oldest who is fairly close to both myself and my ex I confirmed my thoughts, the ex has a lot of regrets. Sorry lady, life moves on. I love all my kids but I just don't get hung up stressing over it any more than I would if someone else distances themselves from me. I have other things to spend my energy on.
    I think I said it before but my new wife and I led a divorce care ministry for a few yrs. and one thing I can't stress enough is DO NOT let the kids come between your new relationship no matter what that means.
