The Front Porch Gazette

First off Gary he isn't your kid so right there you don't rate as someone who is in the "chain of command", and no amount of yelling or threatining is going to change that. Next the kid is 13 years old, you think back when you were 13..I can bet you were no angel either. Also look at the situation you are coming into..from his point of view, he probably hasn't had to share his mom with anyone. He's a teenager and he is probably angry and confused, so it's in his nature to want to rebel. Then to top it off your going to demand respect?? Respect is a two way street, if you want it you've got to earn it. Just because your an "elder" isn't a lock that your going to get respect. But I see some things haven't changed, you get pissed because you're not getting your way so you threaten to leave. Well one day Rocki will call your silly ass bluff and then you'll be back living in a ditch. Anyway good luck

I think writing about it is good therapy, also like you mentioned is gives people that are possibly facing this proceedure a valuable insight to what they can expect Also those of us that hold you near and dear are interested in you and how you are doing

I knew if you gave yourself some time you be back up to speedNow eat!!!

We here have gotten our share of rain this summer, but then again it's been a better summer then last year

Batten down the hatches, stay inside..and stay safe

Ummm Martin?? You might need to ease off some of those meds you're taking

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers my friend

Martin..my friend, you need to start thinking about yourself. We want you around for a long time, and thus you need to take care of your own well being

I can't say I was a fan of Bernie Mac, but still it's tragic when someone that young passes. My prayers go out to his family in this difficult time

Martin!!! Glad to see you back You just relax and get yourself healed and we will be here awaiting your full-time return to blogging
