Re: Retooling (kinda long)

[ QUOTE ] Except, I can think of like 20 instances where Jake relays good family stories, it seems he spends way more time with his kids than most parents I know (or mine did). I think that's why it is last. Because it needs the least improvement. [/ QUOTE ] I like you Indie...but you are kidding right? Unless he posts all day every day from a blackberry, it doesn't take an expert to see which of his loves gets first priority (OOT). [/ QUOTE ] I state the facts. Off the top of my head I can remember like 5 Jake family story's. It's very obvious he's a good dad IMO.

Re: Retooling (kinda long)
This happens to me almost every year. I think it has to do with the changing of seasons reminding us of our own mortality.
The only suggestion I have is to not try and fix/improve everything at once. Many of these goals are related to one another (get healthier/quit drinking), but Rome wasn't built in a day. Even if you just begin each of these over the course of a few weeks it'll be easier than doing it at once. I was going to write something about how my relationship with my wife is usually my saving grace during these times, and suggest that perhaps that's an area for you that might use some work (you don't talk about it much, obviously). But it's much more important, initially at least, that you start liking yourself more. Once you do that working on relationships with others is much easier.

Re: Retooling (kinda long)
After reading your post I realized how stupid mine was also.
I have some of the problems I was telling him he had and you have some of the same problems you told him he had. I'm goinjg to stop giving people here advice as the risk of looking as stupid as I feel you did here is just not worth it. We need to look at ourselves more it is to easy to tell others what to do. Sorry jake I was just trying to help not sound like a know it all ass.

My comments where harsh, yes, but that is due to my obvious dislike for jake. It's well documented and I feel no need to sugar-coat my opinions to him for the sake of 'being civil'. I doubt we'll be sitting around a campfire singing folk songs anytime soon.

[/ QUOTE ] Yes I stand by them but I think they apply to me more than jake and I was just telling him them as it is easier than doing something about them for myself. It might seem like I don't like you Thinman but I got nothing against you at all. I do think you need things said louder to you for you to hear it though. Where are your kids and when did you last see them? sorry [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
