I'm sorry to read this Mark.

I wasn't attempting to make light of anyone's situation, I was only trying to suggest that it doesn't always have to be this way - adn I had been on high alert as to if Jamie was in any way controlling, or might quell my enthusiasm for my hobbies...

Do you hate Christmas because of how big it has gotten, and expectations from the kids have you extra stressed?

It's probably too late for this year, but maybe for years forward you can talk well in advance to Ella, and be intentional about having a simplified, less materialistic Christmas...
As in, one gift each, a max dollar amount, and you don't buy gifts for everyone ~ but instead mail cards... (which can be bought in bulk, well in advance.)

How do you change a rod bearing with the motor still in the car? Or did you pull the motor?

talk with jon and he will give you some light on the topic..... lets just say no one will ever change my mind on the topic ever....

i suspect we will be having alot of tech talk in the near future..... im just saying that something isnt being done right..... if no else will say it, i will..... this is not a dsm.... these are ecotechs....


obviously not enough research was done
