CRISPINS CRITTERS

[AU24K]

I love this song, lived my life for this way of life!! Thank you for the wisdom. Maybe I was wrong tonight, but I took the boys to see American Sniper. They know who Chris Kyle was. I'm watching the movie and a lot of it is about the separation between Chris and his wife and what he too suffered. I was sitting there and my little guy gets up and wipes my tears...... I had no idea I was crying....... About my own life. He said "poppa I love you, I understand" and you know something, I think he's the only one that does in this family. Thanks buddy perfect timing. Aim small, miss small

2GF,

The following post is my belief.

Number one, when you kill someone, That's all.
No "Do Overs."
No replay.

Spend time with them discussing life.

Then take them to a Funeral home for a tour to learn more of death.

Hopefully, then they will fully appreciate life.


Dang you!

You reminded me of a story....

OK.
Here it is....


About 10 years ago, or more, I was employed by an electrical contractor.
I worked under his license on several jobs. My work was always approved by the local inspector.
One job was at one of the local mortuaries.

OK.

One bright and early morning, I was sent to the basement to find the breaker boxes.

I'm working my way in the basement , Dark as a moonless night, can't find any light switch to save my soul, with a cheap flashlight and weak batteries....and come to an area where the Breaker box might be.

I push the plastic curtains aside, with a miniture flashlight gripped between my teeth,

And there in front of me lies a dead man! NEKKID!



Folks,
I never worked for that electric man from that day on....

And, in my hometown, to this day,

You may hear tales of a man that came screaming from the basement of a Mortuary.

But, it may or may not not have been me....

Best,

Scott

Ya. gotta keep it on the down low or next thing you know your covert mission gets exposed...

Yeah Scott I found myself crying when the man was on an airplane escorting flag draped coffins. Been there done that.........Even with family members. Got caught up in the moment I guess.

Thank you my friend. I would suggest to anyone to "see" what my life has been like to see American Sniper. I was NOT a Navy Seal, but as an operator many of the decisions I too had to make, many of the feelings I go through daily, are well documented/paralleled in Chris Kyles own story. The relationship ups and downs he goes thru caught between duty, honor, God, country and family..... Man I was right there running those same emotions again. When you are there, all you want is to get back here, and when you are here, all you can think of is getting back over there. Well that's How I was. And when I got home I felt like I didn't belong. A dead animal on the side of the road and I almost wrecked the car.... Over there they were used to cover IEDS. My family laughed at me for diving for cover during a pyrotechnic show at Busch Gardens..........laughter at my expense. They kept telling my you're home now, why do you act like this? My first 2weeks home from Iraq, I slept on a poncho liner in t

he back yard with my Pit Bull......I didn't talk to anyone......I was protecting my home and I was the chain of command!!!!! Basically in watching the American Sniper last night, I saw a lot of parallelisms in my life. Especially in the relationship between husband and wife. I offer everyone to see it and maybe you could understand who I am and why. Again not a Seal, but an operator, married, several deployments, and several lost team mates.......,visible scars,and deeply hidden scars deeply hidden. Sorry off my soap box. I appreciate everyone's friendship. Speaking of friendship......I have a new friend that I am proud to call my friend. I speak of him later. But I'm proud to be associated with him, since I am great friends with the pilot that picked him up. He's a true American hero....but A very humble man. Let our friendship grow more and I will invite him here. Dang this post went all over the place like a night time free fall. I appreciate all of you

Your important to us 2G.F..The least we can do is listen. The sniper is noted as required viewing.
I never served. Have had friends that did and one was still "jumpy" decades later. Probably should not have goosed him so often but the response was always the same. Only being spry and faster than his reflexes saved me. He would get even though...
Keep up your amazing balance of past and present, involvement with youth and makin do. Roof balance may need a little work.......
Them kids grow up. Your example going to show in their choices and decisions, hopefully sooner than later but eventually.
That I have been through.

I took the boys to the beach yesterday........why? Cause I live in Florida I dont know, just something different to do. My wife calls me and finds out we are at the beach."Now dont let them boys get wet that water is awful cold" Um, ok......The little one says "Come on guys lets go swimming.....I say "only if you roll with me in the sand " YEAH EVERYBODY Cold , wet and Sandy.........its a phrase I teach here at my house, based on my friend David Rutherford..........we came home, Sand from head to our toes............ok my little tadpoles, showers before grandma finds out...........hehehehe. They had a blast and no video games were used!!!!!!


There was a damn shooting in the mall here yesterday. About 7 miles from my house. The wife worked at the food court, husband came in at 0930, shoots her. Coworker grabs the gun, there was a fight, he shoots coworker.....killed him......saw what he did, shoots himself. She's in critical care..........man this stuff is getting old. makes me want to live on an island all alone somewhere you know?

Probably wife was involved in an affair...likely started on Facebook.
Of coarse just my speculation as I have no details of this.

Yeah but such violence these days. Then divorce her, don't kill her. I did read today there was a significant age difference. She was in her 30's he was in his 60's. Walk away.....

I agree completely. But it seems our world is becoming more and more unstable. Most affairs start on Facebook these days...

Yes sir I do agree 1000% My marriage had some rocky years. I was always gone. Tell you that story personally, but if you don't have trust, you have nothing.

Ok, after struggling to hear the sound from my tv last night I decided to solve the problem today... I bought a new wireless surround sound. It's amazing the technology you can get for less than three hundred bucks.

Movies come alive, Nascar...just plain scary, and football? you "feel" the hits!

Super Bowl party at Oregon Vikings house!!!!!!! Hey by the way I was pulling for the Ducks in the National Championship. I like Oregon.........

DR easier to meet on FB than in bars these days. Pitiful isn't it? But it still shouldn't end in a death if that is the case here

My daughter tried facebook "meets" Biggest Liers I have ever met! I had to diffuse the situation. In person from the start.
Some people are just so much cooler online.
