"Going fer it" and Going fer it's wife ??? I remember they had quite a thread going for a long time a while back and then just seemed to drop out of sight.

I think I remember Going for it's Wife saying that He got a Union trade job. Can't remember tho

If I remember right, they had some legal trouble with a company or something. I can't exactly remember. Seems like they got that straightened out, and I don't remember seeing either one of them here since.

Hello Stranger!!! I have not been on the board for a while and I decided to lurk. I do every once and a while and I saw this.

We are doing fine. Hubby is still working with System Transport in the heavy haul division. Last year they took a 3 cpm pay cut. He is usually home on the weekends or I should say sometimes in Friday night and out Sunday morning. But we do see him every week.

He has not had anymore problems. I shutter to think what would happen in this economy if that had happened at this time. The trucking business has sure changed from what it was.

I went back to college and then became a college drop out for now as both of the girls are being home schooled again. I am doing the field trip coordinating for the home school group ( I volunteered) so that the kids could have some cool field trips. I also am taking them skiing with a program on Mondays for the next 4 weeks. We went today and I feel it!!! It is good for me! I think!

My son turned 18! He has been going to college for the last two years though and he is doing very well.

How is life going for you? Last I heard you came out of retirement! Keeping active is good. I hope you are enjoying life and that all is well for you and your family!

Actually I was on for a quite a while after that! He worked at Davis for about a year before they changed over to O/O or L/O. We had a long thread. At System the runs are different so I did not think it would have much interest.

Then when I came on here there were all the flashy ads (I hate those) and I had problems signing in so I just stopped posting.

Glad to hear you folks are doing ok. Missed seeing your posts.

I generally get on here twice a day now. Gave up the driving for Social Security, and am enjoying fixing small engines. No more having to listen to the reefer during my sleep to make sure it's starting and stopping anymore. No more DOT. And, able to get everywhere I need to go with a bicycle. Wish I'd done this a year ago.

As Windwalker said, it's good that yall are doing ok. Good to hear from yall.

nice to hear from you. i wondered what happened to you too. i commend you for home schooling your children. i am lucky that we have a good public school because i wouldn't have the patience with my own. my friend home schools while she is getting her masters online. it's tough and i know i couldn't do it.

taking the kids skiing is great. i have taken the kids and they catch on so quickly. i have them in ice skating lessons. my son loves hockey. i skate with my kids and i feel that every week. and yes, skiing is good for you.

glad all is well with you and your family.

Good to see you still here Windwalker! Glad you are still keeping your mind and your body active! That is a good way to enjoy retirement! Actually the only way!

Take Care,

Hey Mommee! Good to see you still here! Thank you for the support. Sometimes things do get trying but it was just as bad with after school homework. Your friend is scary! It is like a person that keeps their house spotless with 5 kids! I don't know how they do it!!!

Ice skating is great also! It is good exercise. I almost got to do it two weeks ago in Spokane, but I got to stressed out that day! I thought I was so organized to collect the money and have everything in order until everyone came and changed everything that morning! Next year that field trip will be handled differently!

At least I don't handle anything with the skiing! I just go!

You sound like a great Mom!

Great hubby is home tonight! No load for him today. Hopefully he gets one tomorrow. It should be picking up some, not slowing down.

Wow, it's great to hear from you..Glad things seem to be going OK and you are doing well. Yes, retirement didn't last long. Got tired of watching the grass grow and then ex-wife decided she wanted out to go back home to "mommy" and be 29 again. Got divorced, had to give her half of my UPS pension for 5 years and went back to work, basically for the health benefits for my kids, whom I see every other weekend. So....I've been at the Linde Group for the last couple years hauling industrial/medical gases...Can't complain, it's pretty good gig.

I am sorry to hear that things went that way! I know how excited you were to move and start something new.

How old are your kids? I had hubby take me off the medical insurance. It was insane to pay for it and have to pay all the medical bills anyway. Then if something catastrophic happened they would only pay 75% so we would be finished financially any way.

So what areas do you haul to and from now? Maybe if you are up this way I could bring you some of those cookies!

It was really great to hear from you although I would have liked a better report. I am glad you are staying positive though!

Most of us had problems signing in when the first changes were taking place. There were some other issues over the last few months that made it difficult to sign in and the website really slowed down. I am glad to see that you are doing well.

Thank you GMan! I am glad that the bugs are getting worked out! It is nice to be able to sign in again.

GFW..3 kids, 2 14 year old girls and a 16 year old. They are OK with it...I guess they just didn't like what was happening to their dad (me) and they have recently informed the Family Courts that they would like to live with me full time. And no, I didn't suggest it or bad mouth their mother..Looks like I'm going to need a bigger house..Great to hear from you and glad your husband's hanging in...Yes, I was looking forward to getting out of Brown. I spent a few decades at that company and while I have no regrets at all, it was time to retire...As far as retirement, well I guess it's like they say, if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans..I run Northern Cal./Southern Cal. Southern Oregon..AZ..and of course, Nevada...
