Konquererz Introduction - Page 37

100+ Replies - I must say welcome back and that is the most you have posted in one day right? Did you take any roids? How are things going with your wife and children. I know she has several ailments which I imagine are more or less under control now - if not physically at least psychologically in that you have learnt to accept and deal with them?

Introduction Konquererz

Its just been a very stressful month dealing with several financial issues that required my lose of internet connection for a bit. I was able to post a little at work, but things are so very stressful and busy at work at the moment. We are growing in clients and shrinking in personnel, at least faster than we can replace them. Its good for our future, but leaves little time to play.

My wife is doing pretty good right now. She has ocassional problems, but we have just learned to deal with it. She is in pain quite often, but I never hear her complain. Ultimately, the orthopedic surgeon said without surgery on her neck, the bones spurs and bulging discs could take as long as four to five years to heal on their own. Here dizzy spells happen sporadically, but she has learned how to get around, and she uses either a cane or a walker if they get really bad. Its amazing what someone can learn to deal with when faced with the fact that its not going away. She is amazing.

My oldest son is getting ready for first grade, so thats exciting. My youngest is potty training, so hopefully no diapers by this time next year. As well, I was rated outstanding, the highest I can be rated at work. We paid off the car in time for some major financial issues, so I count that as gain because with the car payment, I would have been swamped. But thus is the life of a family, one moment to the next, its what makes life interesting.

When I actually was able to hop on and seriously survey the sight, two things hit me immediately. First was that I was not the only one absent from the forum. Second was that no one was working the zero replies for some time. I took to those and still have a bit to do. Research will get me answers to some, others will have to wait. However, I just couldn't stand the thought of all those zero's not being taken, I always liked working those the most.

So as it turns out, I didn't realize the vast amount of zero replies that I actually could answer with no research. But either way, its great to be back where I enjoy spending my free time. I have everything worked out with my new internet service and its much cheaper as well. Thanks for asking about me, sorry I was away so much. I do believe that 100 in one night may be my record, but I think I have come close before, who really knows.

Financial juggling I can relate to so I share empathies, but I am glad you are making progress. You have grown a lot with regards to handling pressure. I remember when you first joined you were more pessimistic, but now you seem more optimistic about things.

As for the Zero Replies, most Members do not realize how much they miss when they do not log on for a day, they check the most recent Topics for the last 24 hours and then move on - I call these 'Sunday Viewers'. However, you have a real talent for answering topics and do a great job at it.

I have found that financial problems will come and go. When it comes to having a family, you will rarely be in a 'stable' financial situation for very long. So understanding that much of what becomes a problem is my fault and can thus be avoided by better decisions helps me deal with it better and not get so down about it. I can better see the solution when I think that way.

Introduction Konquererz

Hi Konquererz, nice to see you around, are you up in the middle of the night where you are?

I know for sure you'd never find me up in the night on the computer, I need my sleep too much

It is 10.47 am here, and I still feel tired now!

Just wanted to say though, you did really well on your 100+ replies the other day, you worked really hard at it, and covered a lot of difficult topics, that I couldn't even contemplate answering. Well done you!

Anyway, take care, best wishes, Diane.

Konquererz Introduction

Kon, I just read your blog and it made me laugh quiet a bit your thoughts about cricket because I think the exactly same thing. I still do not understand how that game works. It is so complicated (not to mention bo-ring!) and the fact that it lasts sooo long, makes my head go crazy. Yes, India is a great team and also the West Indies. Most Commonwealth countries are involved in cricket.

I am sorry I have not able to keep up with how you are doing. I never realized how much work is to have two kids, but I suppose it will get easier when Jonah gets bigger, for now he is totally dependant on me and having a 6 years old with ADHD makes my life quiet interesting.

We are going to take pictures of Jonah soon and post it, he is looking SO CUTE! and believe me, he still looking like Jonah *laughs* I do not see any resemblance of me or JB and he is a little over a month old and putting on weight really fast. He was born 6 pounds 8 ounces and now he is a little over 10 pounds. He is a little piglet.

How is the family doing? the kids? the wifie?
