Those names used to be someone I read on a regular basis. However they are not on my regular reading list any longer. My wife and I used to be avid readers of jacklewis.net and I have even conversed with Danny in the past and have used his code as well. He is now a raving lunatic. If you use firefox you will need to install a couple of things to see his site as he has decided that Firefox users are thieves. I am not kidding. Try going to jacklewis.net with Firefox and you will find yourself going to whyfirefoxisblocked.com! Apparently blocking annoying ads is stealing! Not that I have ever installed ad-blocker but this is craziness. I did however install this a couple of things today. I downloaded auser agent XLM file( (right click and save link as) and the user agent switcher for Firefox. Now Danny can’t block me anymore and just to test I also installed ad block plus and sure enough I can block ads, use Firefox, and view jacklewis.net.
I hate to speak ill of someone these days buy ol’ Danny is deranged. He is actually insane. If you want to make money off of your site then that is yhour right to try and do so. If you want to call people thieves because of their browser choice or their decision to decide what shows up on their computer screen then you are a lunatic. He even uses my wife’s abortion ticker. What a jerk! I had never installed ad block before today. I had never tried to view anyone’s site without seeing ads. I have a right to my browser of choice. I have a right to get around his silly measures. He is a fool and the reason I haven’t linked him is because I don’t want to send him any traffic. I had respect for him once. I have none now.
Well it’s yet another rainy month here in the swamp. It rains at least two or three days a week. It’s not quite a normal rain but is has been keeping the temperature a little more bearable. I have tried not to complain about the heat and humidity here because I narrowly missed having to deal with the oven that is Phoenix and for that I am grateful. However all of this means that my lawn is out of control. I had full plans to mow today but it’s about the color of twilight outside and storming like the world is going to end.
I got to talk to the kids today and they are happy. Not much to relate but everyone sounds content and I am happy for them. It still feels like I am missing an appendage of some sort but at least they are enjoying themselves. Sinead has been missing Anna something fierce and insists she is coming home every day. That is touching and heartbreaking all at the same time.
I was sick Friday so I missed Lee’s birthday party and that sucks. Last night Michelle needed sleep so I missed going out with An-G but we can make that up. It’s been a slow and lazy holiday weekend. I needed it. It came none to soon. The hell of work is almost done and I needed this long weekend to get over the two really frickin’ late nights this week. Lots of cool stuff coming up at work so there are thing to which I can look forward.
Nothing really exciting to say. Nothing really going on. Just needed to write…
My oldest two are gone for six weeks. Their bio-mom has become stable and it is time for them to visit. It’s hard for me to be really honest. I have very mixed feelings on the whole thing. She is stable so I have to let them go. Legally I could say that she had to wait for summer, give me at least thirty days notice, and all the other stuff required in the mound of paperwork generated by our divorce but that would not be doing right by the kids. I am sort of numb, they about three hours ago, and can’t decide if I am depressed about the whole thing or not. The lovely Mrs. Vicious is dealing with it easier, and by easier I mean she knows how she feels about it, I envy her that.
So I am sitting here sort of in this emotional void thinking about all the things I put off for a few more days. All the times I could have shot the BB gun with Aoghdan but was tired and so on. This is some sort of wake up call for me. I have six weeks to order my life in such a manner that I spend the right time with them when they get back. I have been making lots of changes in my life as of late and I think I can accomplish this without too much trouble. I am sad to some degree but I also know they will be back and I will get to make up the problems that aren’t evident in day to day life. I have four other bright eyed children on which to practice my time management skills.
We can call them every day. We can send letters. They have cards on which to write us and stamped and addressed envelopes. I don’t know how I will get through the six weeks. It seems like an eternity already.
This is yet another in the long string of reasons divorce is a horrible thing. The kids are split between two families. Before this it hadn’t come up. Their mom has never been stable enough to take them for any length of time. They have spent time with their great-grandmother and grandmother but it was always three or four days and it never seemed like they were split between two families. I don’t see how she can be part of their lives. I don’t see how it is fair to them. Six weeks a year is not enough to be a mother. I don’t hate her anymore and in fact she and I are fairly friendly but I don’t see how this is healthy for the kids at all. We will see when they get back how things work out. I will never stop them from seeing her but I don’t know how good it will be for them psychologically. I will just have to pray and keep the faith that all things work out for the good of those that love the Lord.
I have to go do yardwork and try not to slip into some weird manic state.
