ADIOS.... for a while, anyhow

[BruceB]

Due to a massive upheaval in my life, I am leaving this place today and will only return to finish moving out.

This will be my last post for probably a period of a few weeks.

I have to set up housekeeping in an apartment in Reno, and then arrange for computer hook-ups, phone etc etc.

A WHOLE BUNCH of my Cast Boolit pals are coming to help me complete the move on January 24-25.... most are traveling many hundreds of miles to do this, purely out of the goodness of their hearts.

I thought my divorce was proceeding fairly calmly, but I have to get out of here NOW.

I'll be hoping to 'see' everyone down the road a ways.

[Lefty SRH]

Im sorry to hear this Bruce, i wish you the best!

[429421Cowboy]

Take care, we will be here still once you get the important stuff taken care of!

[smoked turkey]

Bruce I pray that everything from this point goes your way and all will end up super. We will miss you while you are gone.

[quilbilly]

I am very sorry to hear this Bruce. Wish I could help.

Bruce, Best of luck to you I'm just now getting through the after math of the same situation. I know just how trying of a time it is. FB

[jonas302]

Good luck with your move I always enjoy reading your posts

[leeggen]

Bruce divorce sucks even if there is no argueing, add lawyers and thing change in a heart beat. Don't ask how I know, no matter how it works out it still sucks. Hope god speed and get back here to where you have lots of freinds and support.

Sorry to hear about your problems. Hang in there. Divorce can be a very trying time. Been there done that. Best of luck to you.

[swheeler]

Hang in there Bruce, had one of those divorce thingies myself about 33 years ago, sucked big time, but life goes on. I always think how lucky I am that I got out;)

[WilliamDahl]

As they say, half of all marriages end in divorce. What they fail to mention though is that the other half end in death.

[Maven]

Very sorry to learn of this Bruce. I just wish there was something I could do to help.

[IllinoisCoyoteHunter]

Good luck Bruce! Things will only get better for ya!

[Dean D.]

I don't envy you Bruce, there's nothing I hate worse than moving. Good luck with the move though and best wishes.

Hope you are getting out with all your guns and other goodies... ex friend screwed her husband that way, stole all his guns and pawned them for pennies on the dollar. She didn't know I knew the pawn broker and had set it up that they were going right back to her husband for that price. Note ex friend, I do not like people who take advantage of others. Last I heard he got the kids and the house and she got tossed.

[koehn,jim]

Best of luck, I have learned a lot from your posts.

[Catshooter]

Good luck Bruce.

Good luck, Bruce.

Take care of yourself Uncle Bruce. Thoughts and prayers headed your way friend.

[Wayne Smith]

God go with all of you as you work. I wish I was closer. Bruce, you can load in an apartment, many of us did it for years. Just not as convenient! At least it will be all yours.

[prsman23]

Good luck. Chin up. Try to be civil even if she isn't. Take care.

[youngda9]

Best wishes Bruce. I hope your troubles turn around for you. Best of luck.

[mikeym1a]

Sorry to hear this. Went through one myself. Hope life gets settled and back to a semblance of normal very soon. Will pray for your peace. mikey

[Shuz]

Bruce, ol Pard, so sorry to hear the news. We'll be praying for both of you through all of this.--Shuz

[Beau Cassidy]

Good luck and I hope everything works out for you.

[WILCO]

Good luck and I hope everything works out for you.

Same here. Stay strong Bruce.

[Doc Highwall]

Good luck, Bruce. Been there done that.

[Love Life]

I can help you get moved in if you need another body.

[45nut]

[eljefeoz]

"...for a while..." I'll hold you to your word. Good luck, stay safe.

[Lloyd Smale]

Good luck Bruce, Looking forward to your return!

As they say, half of all marriages end in divorce. What they fail to mention though is that the other half end in death.

Current wife told me that this marriage would end in death. I've already been through 2 divorces, she 1. I bought her a 12 gauge, I don't want to suffer. She told me she would just beat me to death with it, we have an understanding. :holysheep

[blackthorn]

As Lloyd said--been there done that--things get better FAST! In my case she moved. After it hit the fan, we continued to live in the same house. Was only supposed to be for a couple of weeks but due to the incompetence of Brittons civil service it got streched into 4 months! It is EXTREMLY hard to remain civil under those cicumstances but in the end, best thing that ever happened to me!! Good luck with your move and into the future.

[NVcurmudgeon]

This is BruceB, on NVC's computer.

Many, MANY thanks for all the prayers, good wishes and advice.

Although this sort of event was NOT part of the original concept of "Cast Boolits", I will say that this very website has brought me a group of friends that are surely among the very best that any man could desire.

For example, a sizeable group of CB members are traveling to Northern Nevada to help me move to my new apartment in Reno.

Some will come from Southern California and northern Idaho!

This perhaps might not seem so remarkable, until one remembers that I am severely handicapped by the loss of my left leg and about the front third of my right foot.... and have not yet learned to walk with these conditions.

Essentially, these friends are going to be doing virtually EVERYTHING for me, and all I'll be able to do is "direct" the proceedings from my wheelchair. The help these folks are giving is a huge, nay, an ENORMOUS comfort to one who has been accustomed to "doing for himself" for many years.... and is now unable to do so.

It may also lend a little more perspective, if I tell y'all that I haven't driven a vehicle since January 2012, nor do I know if I ever will drive another.

All this can e traced right back to 45Nut, who envisioned and created this website from raw material. The friendships made are a direct result of the concept, and I thank Heaven (and Ken!) for the privilege of knowing everyone here.... even if we never meet in person.

I have begun actually moving into the new place, and this coming weekend my "gang" will move my effects out of my former house and about 180 miles down I-80 into the new one. I've bought new furniture for the most part, and should be quite comfy there. As soon as I get Internet and cable hooked up, I should be posting regularly once again....maybe a week or ten days.

My heartfelt thanks to NVCurmudgeon for the use of his computer.....and particularly for hosting me in his home since my situation detonated in my face last Monday night. He drove 180 miles one-way to pick me up the following morning, to get me out of an untenable set of circumstances.

Glad it's working out - stay strong and let us unable to physically help, know if we can do more than prayer for ya.

[Dean D.]

I'm happy to hear that things are looking up for you Bruce! I've always said we have the finest community of any place on the internet here at Cast Boolits, your circumstances have reaffirmed this in my mind. Take care and best wishes on a smooth move to your new home.
