DUI

[FROG MAN]

My hats off to that local unknown officer who caught a DUI driver last night.He was on his way to get a little something extra for the pain. Might have been a DUID if caught later. Many thanks and coffee is on me. If you found any air tools it's worth a steak dinner.Nice mug shot at the regional. MamaMo is still crying tears of joy.

[Squidley]

Seems to be more of this story than you are leading Gerry

[cecdoo]

You got my attention Gerald, Whattsup? Craig

[FROG MAN]

X Son-N-Law cost MamaMo and I plenty. Sadly to say my daughter lost major $$$ among other things. While they were together he cleaned out her checking acct into overdraft. She had just deposited a major college grant loan. Anyway she went to drop the kids off for visitation weekend last night he had been drinking. He left to buy whatever he does and got picked up before arriving at his destination.

[Guest ReinyRooster]

Sounds like some dropped a dime ...... looks good on him.

[cecdoo]

Alittle Karma eh, I love a happy ending, sorry you and your family had to foot the bill for this guy. Craig

[friesman]

I am sorry that you and your family paid big time for this jerk (i cant say other names in here) but I am glad that Karma is coming back to bite him in the butt.

He could end up at my place. Of course I'm not supposed to make a difference in any of them.

Hey frog man that deer rifle works on squirrels just as well.

[FROG MAN]

Redneck I told my daughter I would deliver a case of Vaseline to the jail when he got hauled in. Then again several of his buddies whom he owes money to is waiting for him in there. He is a marked man by his own doing.

[Squidley]

Vengence is mine sayeth the lord....good to see that it will have a happy ending for you folks.

[FROG MAN]

Brad the Lord is his only hope but he even made a mockery of that. Played it like a game going through the motions with no serious commitment. Just for what he could get out of it. Alcohol,Drugs,Meth,and prescription med abuse don't mix. Looks like he has aged 30 years in the last 2. Sad part is he honestly doesn't see himself as doing anything wrong.Something wrong with a man that will pawn his kids toys for drug money.Take a look at what else he gave up.

Well i do not know the saying in English but it goes somehow like this;

 

He who lives in a glass house should not throw stones!

I do not know the story behind this but I do believe that we all have our bads and goods. We all deserve a chance in live after we have done wrongs and any person that has shown a bad side has a good side also. What I am trying to say is that forgiveness and understanding and believing that there is a good thing in every person is a good thing to have in mind. Pleasae do not take it that way that I am trying to defend the person in question - all I am saying is that we all deserve a chance. I do know that I have done bad things in my live and there are things I would like to have done differently but I can not go back to past and make my doings differently. Still I try to be a better person every day.

Forgiveness, understanding and tolerance is the key in life in my eyes. Nobody is perfect and I ask for forgiveness every day since I know that I can always do better than I have done.

Kind of hard to try to make a statement in another language than my native language but I hope that you get my drift.

Forgiveness is the key in my life for sure and I am fighting every day to try to live up to it. It is a hard thing to do for sure.

I understood every word you said Jonas because it came from the heart! I don't mean to steal this thread but Jonas has a good point. I am VERY greatful that your daughter and her children are finally safe and that her husband will get some time to "reflect" on his life and the mess he has made of it. I think most of us here either have a friend or relitive or even themselves that have made mistakes in the past and have lived to become better people because someone, somewhere, gave them a handup when they needed it most! It reminds me of this "family" we have here, We share our problems and fears with each other and other members share their wisdom and knowledge with us and TOGETHER we make this world a better place for ALL of us. I don't wish this young man any harm, I just pray that he survives long enough to be that better person, and share his knowledge and wisdom about the stupid thing he did with someone else who is making the same mistake.

My Daddy yousta say, "Hate the thing a man does...NOT the Man!"

But Hey, What Do I Know!

I am excited to see him in jail. Best place for him. You don't know how many chances this boy has been given. Stealing lots and pawning or selling for drug money. Stole from us, daughter, and own kids. Didn't know how much until daughter kicked him out. We overlooked alot just for the kids and our daughter. The best thing would be that he would be locked up for a long time. Maybe he would get off the stuff he is on that way. His oldest brother says the same thing and he is a local sheriff deputy. Physical changes in him the last 1 1/2 years is something. If he don't change he will not see his kids grow up. His daughter crys over things with him. Sometimes it is just wanting to go home with him. Breaks your heart when you see it. Yes some may think it is mean of us to think the way we do but you would understand if you have went through what we have with him in the last 6 years. We have to think what is the best for those little ones. Now with the marriages it is 5 kids not just 2 around him and seeing him doing things. So it just isn't the 2 grandkids it is the 3 Step-grandkids too. SAD. Those 5 kids are what is important and what they have to deal with living around him. Don't get us wrong we would love to see him straighten his life out. Get off Drugs and stop Drinking. Get a job, keep it, and support his family.

Gentleman Forgiveness is some thing that cannot be given it must be received.We have been there done that. Forgiven multiple times only to have our goodness taken advantage of by a con man who begs for mercy and another chance but doesn't mean it from the heart.The only power I know of that can break those addictions is from the Lord.True repentance means turning around and walking in the opposite direction. A noticeable change that all can see.Until an individual arrives at the proper mindset to ask the Lord from his heart then even the Lords forgiveness is nullified and nothing left but wrath and judgment for him.I wanted him in jail years ago. My thinking was this would dry him out and cold turkey those drug needs.Might save him from a early grave. Now his teeth are rotten and body withered from drugs.He has many enemies looking for him but I am not one of them.I walked away from a lot just to keep from doing something I should not. My patience has run out but judgment is still the Lords. I pray for him for the sake of his children.

Just so folks know where I am coming from, and this isn't a rant (maybe it is). I am ALL about forgiving people who PROVE BY ACTION that they are sorry for their mistakes and pay up the consiquenses. I am sick and tired of our society here in the US (I dont know how they run things in Iceland) placing the blame on others for their problems. I am also sick and tired of being the taxpayer and helping them try to change when they have no intention on doing it.

Lonna's daughter was married to a puke that has 8 kids 2 of them are our grandsons. He has never paid child support on 6 of the 8 and to be honest with you if he was to disappear tomorrow, I would shed no tears. I have had many trials and tribulations in my life, and have had to pay for mistakes that I have made. The biggest question here is, how long do you let a leech suck before you cut the head off ? The biggest loosers are his children, they didn't ask for any of this and now will be scarred for their lives in some way as to their fathers actions. Sorry to come out and perhaps burst a few bubbles about "Squidley" but this kind of thing frost my rear like nothing else you can imagine. I hope that he straitens his act out and becomes productive, but I have serious doubts about that. Stand up and be a man, I do it and I expect others to do it also

[FROG MAN]

Brad thanks I know how you feel. I live by a moral conscience knowing right from wrong. Ramona and I have very little social life and very few friends. As far as the eye can see my community holds nothing but drugs,alcohol,stealing,and domestic violence. Many who bleed the system and get their check in the mail at my expense.

 

I normally speak my mind and sometimes I share to much here. Venture rider family is about all that is left of good friends we socialize with.Many of us must walk and live a lonely life. Sometimes we say their is none left that does good in the land as corruption is every where. Going to a venture meet is like a breath of fresh air and we can get away for a while.

[Squidley]

I know where your coming from Gerry. I too try not to inject too many personal feelings here on the site. Many times they can be misconstrewed and then folks come on and start rants and that just doesn't work real well here. I am of the beilef, like you, that meeting with the group here IS refreshing. I think thats why most of us that make M&E's are addicted to them.

I am very glad to see that your daughter was able to get rid of this man and hope that her new man will be a solid foundation for those younguns. I believe that many of us think alike on this forum, it's only when we get face to face that we really talk to eachother. This is just our avenue to set up times that we can "Talk"

[RSV Angel]

God bless you,your daughter,wife,& grandkids. I can also relate to where your coming from. My parents divorced when I was a baby. I grew up in a home where my stepdad was abusive to both my mother and myself. If he wasn't drinking he wasn't too bad and I could just stay outta his way.When he came in from the VFW on FRi or Sat nite it was time to get out and head for my grandmothers house.(Thank God for loving Grandparents). Ive had clothes piled up and set on fire-been beaten black and blue,and been scared for my life,as a child. But thankfully the Lord saw me thru. When I married it was as much to get out of that house as much as anything. I was very close to the same road myself but,the Lord got me out of it. Just keep on loving them grandbabies, and being there for your daughter. Believe me they will always remember it.

[Redneck]

Vengence is mine sayeth the lord....good to see that it will have a happy ending for you folks.

I wasn't talking vengeance I was talking varmint control.

[Bigfoot]

I wish I could find an old article I read in Readers Digest several years ago about Forgiving somone. The author was very good. Basically he or she said forgiving someone was overrated. I can't stand when I listen to people say they've forgiven this person for killing their kid, or that person for committing such and such crime. That BS. It's not up to me, IMO, to forgive someone for a discretion against me or my family. If GOD wants to forgive him then fine but don't ever expect me to forgive them. If this scrotum gets out of jail and does something to improve his life then fine, he's doing something worthwhile. But forgiveness is not something I'd ever be interested in granting him.

[FROG MAN]

Party is over folks.He just got bailed out gotta love the system. 36 hours was it.I watch the jail admissions and releases every day.

[PBJ]

Frogman, Mamano My heart goes out to you and Jonas your not wrong in talking about forgiveness.But as many here I'm sure know if the abuser isn't ready to admit and face up to their addiction they can't get help. therefore they can't really ask for forgiveness.

 

I watched alcohol take my wife and soul mate from me. She's still alive just not the woman i fell in love with. Our three year divorce has been dragging on and the more i give the more she wants. This week she accidently burned down the 190 year old house that was the only home our children had ever known. I had paid it off and given it to her in exchange for my pension which i needed to pay off the house . Now the house and all our memories are gone.

 

Alcohol and drugs destroy more in the world than people realize. I try not to rag on about others alcohol use i only pray that others don't have or develop the problems i've suffered through. Unfortunately the user never thinks they have a problem and cn justify anything they do. I'm sorry guys my heart and prayers are with you. it would be nice if the guy got his life straight but he may never make it. PJ.

[Guest Swifty]

The biggest loosers are his children,

Amen to that.
