Got the brass today. Thank you. Looks good, I'll put it to good use. Could call for another new gun maybe.

    Around here (Ghetto) we have:
    Struggle Buggies, Common P.O.S.
    Circus Wagons, lifted Chevy Caprice or other big car with 25'' wheel and thin little tires.
    Rag Wagons, cars with the headliners hanging down flapping in the wind.
    Crop Dusters, cars blowing a nice trial of thick smoke.

    My first wife also got hooked on drugs. I was playing softball all over the east coast and my daughter and i would go play ball somewhere and come back after the tournament.

    She told me 1 weekend that if we left that we would regret it. While we were gone our neighbors gave her some drugs and after that she was hooked.

    I put her through rehab at least 5 or 6 times. I do not know how many 72 hour psyche holds. I dealt with her for about 3 or 4 years trying to get her straight.[:(]

    Finally i had to cut her loose. When we split up our daughter was 8 or 9. I got sole custody of our daughter with no visitation and no child support.

    From the time my daughter was 9 until she was 26 she saw her mother no more than 5 times if that.

    My daughters mom died while she was using or drunk under funny circumstances. She did not go to her Moms funeral. I offered to take her and she told me the wife i have now is her mother.

    I have never said anything bad about her mom when she was around but she saw it with her own eyes.

    Her mom also went into our house and took everything we owned and sold it. All we had was some of our clothes. Where the refrigerator was there was a spoon.

    She stole and sold all my kids toys and her pet snake named Flex. Even her bed.

    I was left with 1 spoon, a cooler and a lawn chair.

    They even took a full size pool above ground in November.

    I fought tooth and nail to fix her. I learned the hard way that you can not fix someone on drugs. Everything is out of your control. For my daughters sake i wish i left a lot sooner.

    I had never quit anything before and that was the first time i ever quit something.

    Just do not blame yourself because i know 100% that there was nothing you could do for her.

    Nothing.

    Phil got this monster this morning, 11 1/2 long with a 7 in blade weighing in at 14ozs. This is the one you would want to take to a knife fight if you had to. Buffed out one side today, nice and smooth, I'll finish the other tomorrow. Afther I finish cleaning the whole thng I'll take to to our Stars $ Stripes Museum, see if they might know anything about it. She's a beauty, going to be a wall hanger in my gun case.Thanks alot. Dale

    It scarred my son much worse than it did me.

    He now owns the house his mother committed suicide in....he won't go there.

    Her Father, a man I greatly admire, thought I had 'saved her' from her demons. I guess I did not.
