Robert,
I think it is very big of you to apologize for the stuff you said, you
really had no business going on here and starting crap and saying the things
you said. You do however have every right to be angry about alot of the
stuff that has gone on and you are correct, your dad is disgusted that the
one who was claimed to be his "twin brother from another mother" and one who
is supposed to be his grieving widow have done the things they obviously
have or at least want everyone to believe, especially so soon after. However
you do not have to try to get involved and punish anyone, the ghost of
Airhog will haunt them for years to come for their lack of respect for a
friend and husband. I know you learned from your dad to get on here and
start crap like he did and he would be proud of you for that but it is not
the best way to do it and as an 11 year old you do not need to get involved,
so instead of stooping to their low level take the knowledge gained and
become a better man for it.

David, I don't know you, but based on this one post I'd suggest that
you stop trying to be a role model. A responsible "parent" (isn't that
the surrogate job of a Godparent?) would know that the only like he's
going to remember from your post is this sentence:

"I know you learned from your dad to get on here and start crap like he
did and he would be proud of you for that"

The kid needs *adult* guidance, not someone using him to validate his
own feelings.
srspencer@hotmail.com - 26 Jan 2004 01:51 GMT
Or how about, I understand your feelings.
But Airhog would want Kimber to be happy and if Popeye is the one.
At least Airhog approved of him as a friend, why not let him take care
of Kimber and the kids.
I bet Airhog would smile, Pop's will not replace your dad, but he
would be great at scaring the crap out of bullies at school.

In some cultures this is an accceptable practice.

I rather my wife go out with one of my friends when I'm gone than,
some jerk.

If your Mom can over look Pop's small pee pee, maybe you should give
him a chance.

Really.

They have to be smart to survive.

especially with little kids who want to be vets when they grow up... I know
one kid that went through 5 trying to work out what makes them work before
her (doting but thick) parents gave up and got her a stuffed monkey toy...

Steve honey -- thanks for the thought and support and all -- but you are a
bit misguided with the facts.

Sorry about that.
But the side Airhog showed me, I figured he found his replacement
before he left.
I have reread some of our exchanges, he knew he wasn't long for this
world.
He also said often enough that your happness was very important to
him.

sorry to see this all hashed out in public.

Those aren't mutually exclusive, stroke.

In fact, she'll have a far better chance of avoiding jerks if she
ignores anyone who considers you a friend.

(We're sure you consider several reasonably normal people as your
friends, but your fantasies aren't under discussion here. Besides,
you'll be dead.)

Class act as always...
The dives I do, I cover my a.s and my family.
My family would be as well off with me here or not.($)
So if things get a little hairy my thoughts of my family don't get in
the way of the task at hand.

So my wife could either:
a) take up with a known and proven nice guy
b) rent a gigolo

She claims neither, we are a very tight family.
I can understand my kids points.
But the wife should be able to move on.

If the tables where reversed I wouldn't because my kids are the world
to me.
Those that know me, know this.
That is why I retired at 38.
I took one look at my new born child and knew it was time to cash out.
I rather play and raise my kids in the country full time than trudge
on in the rat race in a big city.
I am not greedy, I made my money and got out while the getting was
good.
We are much happier this way and both agree we would never go back.

My days are my own 6 years and counting.

keep tossing sh.t Lyle, next time check the wind direction.

They've parted, and she's grieved.

Maybe it wasn't long enough in your judgement - of course in this case I
don't think your judgement is applicable (or required/desired/needed).

So you'd be ok with it in, say, a year, or 2, or 10? :-)

So...respect would mean being miserable for a year, or 2, or 10?
I'd think he'd want his wife to fnd someone after he'd passed on.

Yes. She lost the 'love of her life' and grieved for a whole 4 weeks.
That's plenty long enough !!

Or its not my concern. One of the two. :)

While I don't know Kimber well, I do know Popeye fairly well.

I wish 'em both happiness.

> yur dad is disgusted . . .

You are incredibly clueless.   You haven't the foggiest notion of what
Airhow would or would not be discusted about and, more importantly, it's
none of your damned business.

I have a pretty strong suspicion that Airhog would be pleased that two
people that he cared about, got together to care about one another.  For you
to suggest otherwise insults his memory and diminishes you.

>take the knowledge gained and become a better man for it.

Practice what you preach.
