AWESOME...

As they say mate:

A walk of a thousand miles starts with one step.

Thanks for taking the first step with us.

[banjo]

Well i realy have to say something here..
With all my problems i have & what i put the family through has changed to a large degree & its only because of all you guys & gals Mrs HH..


I have lived with cuicidal depression for around 15 ish years & now that is very few & far between which is awesome as its a very big releafe to Karen..

I still get the depression but not as bad as boredom isn't as bad since this thread started . . . .

I haven't had a panic attack for some time now so that in it self is huge for me , i must admit when JohnF was here i had a slite heart flutter murmer which i think i hid well..

Aus calls in regualy & usualy once a week so he has taken over old toms visits which i look forward to every thursday , HHMMM wonder if he knows how to put springs in :angel:...

Was great to meet Mrs Aus today they where here for about half hour & Mrs Aus is realy nice..

Since this thread started i have met 3 people Aus & Mrs Aus & JohnF now in the last 15 to 20 years that is the most people i have ever met outside the people i see regualy which isn't very much.

I am looking forward to meeting more members from here. It takes time for me to meet people & now meeting 3 people in as many months is a huge step forward..

I actualy went out this morning to the paper shop & to Aldi again i wasn't allowed to buy anything i enjoyed walking around aldi next week i will be there early as they have some good tool sales . . . ;).

[Mrs banjo (fatty)]

Oh yeah i also am getting comfortable & conferdant on the phone have had a few calls & made some myself . . . . . . . .

[banjo]

Bloody Fatty not signing out. Ya think she could of atleast posted something....

[JBM770]

[banjo]

Ha there you go i didn't even know there was a mine at Bellbird. . . .

[DiscoMick]

Congrats Banjo, you're going well.
BTW you were right - the story on the Camel Trophy was very interesting. I didn't realise they used Discos for 8 or 9 years, so now I have a new-found respect for my old girl. :cool:

[banjo]

Well Fatty has just left to go & pick up the new springs don't know when i will get a chance to fit them as it looks like rain this arvo & it surposed to rain all week , Plus we have the pamphlets today to do & the papers tomorrow....Plus she is also looking at getting the kids a new puter as theres theres has gone kaput...

[Ausfree]

Its the underground coal mine near Bellbird. I knew, I knew the name from somewhere, but not being in the mining industry it didn't click. Thats the mine that the coal line goes to, through Cessnock and its on the road out past Bellbird.:)

[Ausfree]

I might duck down to Aldi's at Cardiff too Banjo, on Thursday morning, I see they have a Digital Multi Meter for $9.99. Always handy to have one around and at that price you can't go wrong, so I might see you down there which might be another first!!!:)

After taking some measurements the clamp that mine is hitting now shouldn't be to much of a problem with the new ones as its closer to the diff which will put it just between the 2 rods or posably just under the rod between the 2 wheels...

Since when did springs come with out the spring bush fitted ????

[JBM770]

[Ausfree]

OK, now Banjo, you have your shiny new springs, the sun is still shining, lets see some action!!!!!:D

[Ausfree]

[banjo]

Im very tempted, my wifes sister lives at Kellyville so we drive past there to go visit, wife could take kids to her sisters and push me out the door as we go past.

ps. Nice springs Banjo

when you have driven a Rangie nice springs are heavy duty coils--and easy to replace :D:D:D.

At least on the roads I regularly drive. However we currently drive a series with leaf springs--oh my back:D.

[JohnF]

Have not been on for a few days as I bought a very nasty cold home with me, and so spent a few days in bed. Slept real warm every night, so that is not where I got the cold. Remember talking to someone down there, forget who, a man who had a cold, so that I possibly caught this from him. Should have got stuck into garlic, it helps with colds/flu.

No dramas carrying the chainsaw on the train [empty of Petrol] with bar and chain removed. Hope to get down again when weather is warmer.

So hope you are well Banjo and Mrs Banjo, John.

[JohnF]

Cold outside but fairly warm out here in the garage. I have the 'outdoor' gas heater running to keep the temp up as I have been sanding and painting one of the 2a panels.

Yeah, Banj, it was good to catch up. Might do it again one day ;)

Be careful. Some years ago I did a lot of snow skiing, and kept reading of people down the snow who died from gas fumes from their gas bottles. An outside heater used inside might be dangerious. I am not an expert, but be careful.

[JohnF]

Hey, Fifth Columnist, only 16 more posts and you move up from a "Regular" to a "Master"!!!!:)

does the master get a slave? :D

[JohnF]

Yeah but it will have a new colour soon charcoal . . . . .

Its current paint Job and floor mats look perfect to me. I would spend money elsewhere like on a new project car, etc., but every one to their own.

[banjo]

Is it Thursday already? :confused::confused::confused:





Money cleared early so got them they are now on the car & just about sorted . Just a few adjustments & should all be good..

[Ausfree]

Im very tempted, my wifes sister lives at Kellyville so we drive past there to go visit, wife could take kids to her sisters and push me out the door as we go past.

ps. Nice springs Banjo Both Fluids (who lives at Nelsons Bay) and myself have it penciled in, so if you want to attach to the end of the convoy, just let us know!!!!:):)

[banjo]

So anyone want a series 3 with power steering going cheap..

We are thinking of just handing in the plate & strip it out & sell it as parts ..
At my wits end now & going insane . . :mad::mad:

Still have the problem then mate?

[banjo]

Still have the problem then mate?

Yeah cant understand how we could drive it around for a year with no trouble at all , Then all of a sudden this happens :confused: . . . .

Lucky the spring needed to be replaced or it would of just been a waste of money . . .

[Ausfree]

Let me just catch up here Banjo, you have replaced all the springs with the new ones and you still have the same problem??:confused: Do I understand that as being correct!!!!;)

[Narangga]

Hang in there Banjo. The reason you are on the forum is that you are able to share with others and have them share with you.

Someone will come up with the right fix soon.

[banjo]

yep still no good

[Ausfree]

Yeah, just had a look at your other Thread in the Series 3 Section. Bloody Frustrating if you ask me!!! Surely, it has to be something simple causing the problem!!!!!!!!:confused:

[Ausfree]

On a lighter note, my second Series 3 models arrived today. Now all I am waiting on is the Yuppiemobile.( RangeRover)!!!!:)

[Narangga]

Do Banjo a favour and check the springs on the model... :wasntme:

[Ausfree]

Do Banjo a favour and check the springs on the model... :wasntme: Just checked them Stuuu, they are there allright, little plastic springs, one in each corner!!!!:p

[Ausfree]

Morning Banjo, how's the Series 3 headache going??????:)

[banjo]

Morning Banjo, how's the Series 3 headache going??????:)

Yeah i got up this morning & unfortunatly yes its still there mite of sorted it cross ya fingers , Still have to do a few things but that will have to wait till it fines up & drys out...

[Ausfree]

Might be a silly question, but did you compare the new springs with the old one's to see if there is any evidence of spring sag???:confused::)

[JohnF]

I knew, I knew the name from somewhere, but not being in the mining industry it didn't click. Thats the mine that the coal line goes to, through Cessnock and its on the road out past Bellbird.:)

All I want to know is can you collect fossils around there. And no jokes about me being a fossil.

[banjo]

Might be a silly question, but did you compare the new springs with the old one's to see if there is any evidence of spring sag???:confused::)


Yeah there was about 1 & a half inches differance..

[JohnF]

OK, now Banjo, you have your shiny new springs, the sun is still shining, lets see some action!!!!!:D

Landrover springs aint any good if they do not have mud on them :eek:

[Ausfree]

Yeah there was about 1 & a half inches differance.. Does that answer your question then Banjo????

[JohnF]

do not worry, your problem with the steering will sort itself out. It is remarkable how things do sort themselves out.

When I visited you I was wondering about purchasing a second-hand zoom lens for the camera. I put off buying one, and today I was given one free of charge. The guy had hocked his D70s camera plus two zooms--the improved version of my D70 camera, and his three months in hock were nearly up and he would have lost it, so I purchased it from cash converters for $304- with two zooms, polerisering filters, etc. [it is worth much more]. I just wanted to try out the zoom lens to see if it was the one that I wanted to buy. He said if I wait a fortnight he will give me the $304--, and I can keep the zoom for saving him from loosing his camera. The Nikon 70-300DX zoom that I am getting is brand new, being purchased just before he hocked the camera. And I nearly purchased a 55-200 VR lens instead, and glad I didn't.

Pray about it and your problem will sort itself out in the same way.

[banjo]

Hey Aus how did you get on at aldi this morning get ya multimeter . .

We got our quartely power bill today i nearly fell off me chair it was huge it was a whole $41.90 woohoo . . .thank got for center pay they take some out of our pension each week & thats all we owe . . .

Got a heap of boxes off Uncle Bens samples to deliver this week there fried rice . Doesn't look to bad mite try some as we will have heaps left over as usual with samples . . .

[banjo]

Nearly got the car sorted out now.. Its hard going to bend the spring brackets with only a small propain bottle & a hammer . . But i'm getting there..:mad:

[JohnF]

Hget i Banjo/Karen, and kids. May not get on the net tomorrow so just wishing you a good weekend before I sign off today, and pray that you get your steering sorted.

Banjo, I once early in this thread or by PM, told you I could not phone [No mobile, etc.], but realised I could now Skype you if you wish a voice chin wag with me. Let me know, you do have my e-mail address. And you can always talk to me by e-mail or PM if you want, John.

Make the most of Skype - free internet calls and great value calls (http://www.skype.com/intl/en/home)


Had a look at that link but if i got something like that on my puter it would only be another thing that i could stuff up . . :D

[The ho har's]

I have skype have had it for years...talk to a lot of AURO people on it just the same as instant messaging:D

Mrs hh:angel:

[Ausfree]

Hey Banj, yup got the multimeter this morning, I don't how they can make one for $10 except ripping off the poor Chinese worker. Saw Karen this morning and we had a nice quick chat, jeez it was busy at Target, but I guess Karen has already mentioned that .:) Is the Series 3 fixed yet??????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????:confused:

JUST ABOUT.. . . . . . .

[Ausfree]

Ah well, if you can't fix it, just call it a Series 2!!!:twisted:

[banjo]

I wish it was a series 2 or 2a none of this plastic dash crap . . . .

[banjo]

Bloody rain , by the time i get the suspension fixed i'll have to do a minor rebuild its going to crap sitting out in the weather . . .
I have it all sorted now just need to get some realy good weather so i can get in & get the few jobs done that have to be done so we can drive it again....

[DiscoMick]

Skype is excellent Banjo. Think free phone calls to everyone who also has Skype. We used it when living overseas to keep in touch and we now use it here. You can get it on your phone too.
Easy to download and then you can search for everyone on your email list and add them to your address book.
Free download too.

[JohnF]

Got on the forum today as suspension is vibrating, hence we did not do the running around that we intended to do.

I saw another AULRO thread on Skype--discussing how many Megabites of your net time it uses, which is why I mentioned it to you, Banjo. Do not yet have it, but will download Skype if I have some one to talk to. I have watched others using Skype.

[The ho har's]

Skype doesn't take up a lot of bandwidth if you only msg.....I very rearly make phone calls on it;)

Mrs hh:angel:

[DiscoMick]

I've never found bandwidth to be an issue with Skype. Millions of people are using it around the world.

[drifter]

I used to work for a cheap-ass company who insisted we used Skype instead of our mobiles if we were ringing Head Office or one of the other consultants.

I was talking to a mate on it once. I was in Sydney, he was in London. I asked what the clattering noise in the background was. He replied that it was his wife in the next room doing the dishes. It was that clear.

[banjo]

Well we got a new computer we got the one from aldi it was a 10" but we ended up taking it back as it wouldn't do what was said in the book or what we where told..
well today the kids puter decided it wanted to die so we had to get a new one so Karen went looking today & came home with a 14" compaq its not to bad we are just getting used to it . . . . .

[Narangga]

We have a 14.1" - large enough to see and still light enough to carry around. Hope it is a good one for you.

[banjo]

so far so good just getting used to the differant button layout..

But yeah it is very portable , my old one that the kids are using now is only 15".1 i think but a lot bigger in overall size this ones much better..

[banjo]

Its just taking forever to reload all my stuff onto this one.You just don't realise how much stuff you store on your computer till you have to change it...:(:mad:

[banjo]

WOW had to go digging for the thread...

Well i have nearly done the car if it would stop raining every time i go & work on it.. Took the springs off again to bend the brackets got that done & the spring back on & bolted up..
Got it back down off the stands & was abpout to start with the passenger side turn stop & it came over real black so started to pack up & get the clothes off the line..
Then was about to start cutting the Ubolts off as they are way way to long & it started to rain :mad::mad::mad:..

But its just about completly done. YAY. . . :D:p;):eek: . . . .

[Fluids]

That's is good news Jason !

When it finished, we should organise a little drive to test it out. Something close.

I will pray to the rain gods for you ! :)

Well theres something wrong i don't seem to be getting emails to let me know that there has been a post here or any other threads i'm watching...

Well i got all the Ubolts cut this morning before Karen got home with the pamphlets . .

So tomorrow if i'm lucky i can get the turn stop done & i have to cut the bracket again as i didn't cut enough but thats ok as i would rather cut less than to much . . . .


Karen just got back from down the road & brought the LRO Mag for me & theres a pic on the front cover of a concept landy & if they do build one i would love one....

OH & theres a pink landy in there that she likes. . . . :mad: Why do girls paint them pink for . . . .

[banjo]

Yeah mate Arnhem Land is a reserve that is held in trust for the Aboriginal people.

Nhulunbuy is a mining town built on the mining lease that the government gave the original mining company back in (works it out on calculator) 1969. It is a private town but anyone can come here - you just have to get here!

On Google Maps its only 4118km from you to me.:(

[banjo]

Looks & sounds like an awesome day out ...

[banjo]

Well i had an interesting night lastnight. Remember i was saying i have been texting an old girlfriend for some time.
Well lastnight while texting she said are you sure we cant talk on the phone yet , Well i ended up saying yeah you can ring but we will keep it short & then i'm going for a shower & bed as it was around 10 ish..
Well i have known her for many years before we dated & i know all her family. Anyway she rings & we get to chatting about the old days when we where young & what we all used to get up to & all about each of our families what we have been upto over the years ...Well i finaly gets in the shower about quarter to 12 . .

It was realy good to catch up on all the goss & i realy enjoyed it.....

We are going to have her over for a cuppa one day to catch up...

Its funny last time Aus was here i was saying to him about the kids , They can't understand how i can chat to an old girlfriend & Karen doesn't want to rip her throat out.. We told them its called GROWING UP something use need to do ......




I'M on a roll i have met a couple of members from here , Spoken to a few members on the phone & even rang Aus once...& now talking to an old friend & going to meet up for a chat & catch up...
What i have achieved from this site over the time of this thread is awesome i haven't done so much in many years & i owe it all to all you guys & girls....

[JohnF]

The plans are in The Good Book John. :angel:

Actually the Good Book says that there will never be another world wide flood so just need to move to higher ground now days to avoid any local floods.

And yes Ausfree, in the days of Noah, Noah invited everybody onto the Ark and if any Athiests had got on to Noah's Ark they too would have been saved from the flood. Trouble is they did not believe that there would be a flood, so did not take the necessary steps to escape distruction.

"But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Matthew 24:37.

One may have trouble finding a cubit graduated tape measure in Bunnings, John. ;)

[JohnF]

No I look as well every day;)

as said before I was a tad busy yesterday...do you ever look in the GCLRO trip reports???

have a look

http://www.aulro.com/afvb/gclro-trip-reports/109859-border-ranges-series-trip.html

this is what we did yesterday:D:D:D
we came out of the forrest just Nth of JohnF's place at Lillian Rock:)

Mrs hh:angel:

From Col Coleman's trip report you were only one kilometer from our place at one stage of that trip.

[JohnF]

One may have trouble finding a cubit graduated tape measure in Bunnings, John. ;)

Thanks Ian. A cubit was from the finger tip to the elbow, a varable distance of about 18 inches as a minimum--however Noah probably had much longer arms than I do, as I am a bit short. Other cubits were about 22 inches long. I would not like to measure things in cubits today, other than if I was making reproductions of Bible things--I have a small model of the "Raider's of the lost Ark," "Ark of the Covenant," that I purchased very cheep when it was marked down. Other than that, not counting pictures, I do not have Bible Based models. Note that the Ark of the Covernant is not to be mixed up with Noah's ark, but some have gotten mixed up in this.

So the Bible measurement of Noah's Ark was somewhere between 450 feet as a minimum to 600 feet or so long [not counting width and height measurements that the good book does mention].

It is interesting that ships, 600 foot long, have been made to the Bible propotions and these ships were found to be extremely stable in very big seas, John.

[DiscoMick]

Well, I've just caught up after a week of dealing with fuel leaks in the Disco, completing an essay (got 80%) and starting to build a bigger garden shed with the youngest son, as well as normal work.
Good news is our tax return looks like being much healthier than expected so we may be going to England in November-Dec for 4 weeks, to tour around with the son and daughter in law. We were about to give up this idea, but the big tax return has revived it.
So, I'm already studying Landy catalogues to make a list of bits I might buy and get shipped back. Cool.

[JohnF]

Hi Banjo,

I almost fell over yesterday when I paid $65-- for the rubbers for that chainsaw--thanks.

You probably got rid of it because a millionaire like you with your bookshop/cafe near epping Station could afford a new one :D

$65 for them is preety good . .That chainsaw is a good brand & was expensive when my parents brought it...

Its funny 2 days maybe after you left there was another tree fall down in the back yard , I'll have to dig out one of me hand saws bush saw . .
I used that chainsaw the saturday before you got here to chop up the first tree that fell & that was the first time i had used it in about 4 years . .And now the other one is down..It allways happens that way you dont use something for so many years & then all of a sudden a couple of trees fall . . :D:D

I colect all the landrover ones & this is a cheap way for me to do it...
I read them like most people read novels . . . . .

I realy need to try & go out on my own instead of always having Karen with me. That way i could go out when Karens not home :mad::mad: , I hate my crapy life & the crapy problem of mine .. It is so bad & debititating not being able to do stuff with out Karen by my side it sux... & its embaracing for me ......& i like driving my car cause its quiet comfortable for a series & it steers great..


Plus my dog had a go at me today something fell off the cloths line so he went & peed all over it so i grabed it & went to give him a hit on the bum with a raised voice & he growled at me & tried to bite me the little **** i wanted to give him a kick in the bum & to the other side of the yard then but he took off . . . .

Then the Advanced Tab

Sorry I didn't get back to you last night mate - was a bit tired after I squeezed me hands into unmentionable places on a Puma ( :o ) and then I put the CDL linkage in STUUU.

Obviously the copy and paste did not work then?

[V8Ian]

Hi Jason, can't you save all the info you want from the old 'puter, onto a mass storage device, thend put that onto the new lappy?

[banjo]

I will try the mem stick later . . Haven't tryed that yet..

[banjo]

Well i have finaly done it..Well use all know how much Karen does for me & i doubt anyone realy knows how much . . Well it is finaly getting to her & it looks like i will be saying good bye to everyone as it looks as though we wont be together much longer & i have to say i dont blame Karen she wants a normal relationship & unfortunatly i can not do this & she has givin me more chances than you could poke a stick at..& i will probably go back to my mothers & i wont have internet for some time...
I would like to say thankyou to all of you for your surport & understanding with my problem . .I think i will sell the rover & atleast get Karen a good little car & i mite have enough to get myself something to use . But Karen deserves a good car as she will have the kids & still have to run them around...I realy dont know what to say to anyone or to Karen . . ITs my fault this has happend no one else's but mine i never made a good enough go at doing things & when i did it wasn't for long enough & all went back to normal with Karen doing everything & me relieing on her for everything.
So again i thank all of you... & i will let everyone know as best i can as to whats happening . . . .


THANKS Jason...

[Narangga]

Sorry to hear that mate - I though things were on the up.

Sorry I'm not close enough to pop round to help. :(

[banjo]

Yes i am extreemly **** scared at the moment .. Don't know what to say or do i just hope we are able to work through it .. I put Karen under a lot of stress . . & we have been here before so i hope we are able to work it out as she is my life . . . ..

[Narangga]

Only you two can work it out but the rest of here are ready to support you both.

[Ausfree]

Banj, I live close by, if you need someone to talk to, I hope you know me well enough by now for me to give you moral support, I notice since this thread stated you have gone through low moments before and I must be honest I have expected you to go through more low moments, these sort of problems don't just disappear overnight and I would understand Karen would be going through a rough time too. Best of luck and I hope Karen and yourself sort this out, you are both good people and you deserve the best!!:)
Cheers mate and do not sell the Landy!!!:)

[Grockle]

Jas give me a call if you like

[Ausfree]

Jas give me a call if you like Me too, Jason, I nearly picked up the phone to call you and I stopped at the last moment thinking that you don't need outside pressure. Karen and yourself need space to sort this out, pity you couldn't take abreak away somewhere to talk things through.!!!! Mate, I am just at the end of the phone!!!:)

[drifter]

Jas

You've both got my phone number if you want to txt me. Same with the email - if you want to chat, just do it. All I can say is I wish the two of you the very best, I hope you can work through it and, above all, keep in touch.

John

[Ausfree]

Well that's it for me tonight, early start tomorrow, off to Sidunee, AGAIN!!;)

[banjo]

This is all so strange people (friends,MATES ) wanting to help....

Yeah use are all right we have to sort it out.. Geting away would be good .
Told the kids to pull there heads out or i would give them a smack up the head & give them DOCS number so we could have a break from them as they are driving us insane,....

You would think there grandparents would love to have them for the weekend hey..
Not there's Well Karens cant & mine just told us when cody was young that he would be to much of a handfull so have never asked to have them or offer. My mother did take Micayla once when she was very little & i got real sick got the bug that shut all the hospitals down around here & Karen was up with me all night & Karen asked her to take her so we could get some sleep...

It was an effort for her to take her as she had to miss out on a weekend at there farm to do it.. This was before they moved to the farm & built a house......

So yeah we haven't realy ever had a break from the kids ever my cousin Vickie Karens best friend has taken them maybe twice, But we don't like to ask anyone to take them or just even to babysit for a few hours now as our own parents wont do it . .

You've both got my phone number if you want to txt me. Same with the email - if you want to chat, just do it. All I can say is I wish the two of you the very best, I hope you can work through it and, above all, keep in touch.

John


Hey i think thats the first time i have ever seen you sign your name to a post . . . . .

[drifter]

That just shows you I was being serious ;)

[banjo]

OH yeah i took the rover out today for a drive we went down the road & back had to goto the chemist so took the rover, Got home just in time & Vickie turned up then when she had left we took it down to warnersbay to the aquarium to have a look at some fish tanks & fish, they have a ggod selection of fish down there from goldfish to seahorses, Fish wheren't to bad on price but the tanks where so dear left empty handed......
They had some realy nice reptile cages to . . . . .


The car went great . . .

[banjo]

Well that's it for me tonight, early start tomorrow, off to Sidunee, AGAIN!!;)


OLD FART

[banjo]

Jesus blowing a gale up here sounds like the tin roof on the porch mite be gone by morning . . . . .:o

[Fluids]

Gee mate, that's the last thing I expected to hear ... sorry :(

I hope you & Karen can find some level ground and work out your issues. You BOTH deserve better than to have to deal with this. Sometimes life deals you an ugly hand ... you gotta play it thru and move forward ... chucking it in gets you nowhere!

If you need to talk, you know what to do ... even an email.

Nice news about the Rover !

Regards to both you & Karen.

Kev..

[V8Ian]

Strewth, I'm gobsmacked!!!!!!! If I can do anything for you guys please let me know, you know how to contact me. I really hope you both can sort this and survive as a family.

[banjo]

Thanks everyone i'm off for a shower then bed. . . . . .See if i can get some sleep.. & Fatty to i doubt we will get much sleep . . . .

[DiscoMick]

Very sorry to hear about this tough time.
Its not much consolation I know but try to focus on the positives. Its too easy to only think about the negatives and infllate them and overlook the positives. I'm sure if you made a list the positives would outweigh the negatives.

[spudfan]

Said news but as us Land Rover people know many a bad track has a good stretch hidden by a corner. Sometimes just enough space to allow you to stop in safety and peace, get your head together and continue with the journey and sometimes come out smiling. Hope this is your road Banjo.
Next time someone starts a thread about a squeak that is making their life miserable just direct them to this thread. It will certainly help them put the squeak into perspective.

[V8Ian]

Very well said Spud, we all hope it bounces back and ends up happily and united for Jason and Karen.

[Didge]

Hi Jason and Karen, I wish I had a magic wand to sort this out for you. I know all couples go through problems from time to time and those times can be short or really really long. One of the problems with separating is that it can be harder for both people. My wife and daughter have just been away for a week and I've been trying to do my normal jobs and all the stuff the missus usually does and I haven't had a minute to rest. Like DiscoMick says, have a look at the all the good things in your life and compare them to the bad things; hey, even ask the kids what they think are the good and bad things. You'll probably be surprised at how much is good. Good luck to both of you and the kids.
ps - Very bravely, you guys started this thread to talk about your problems and look how many pages you're up to, 323!!!! I haven't seen any other threads with so much input, advice, people sharing their own problems and caring and sharing. Both you, Jason and Karen have become the therapists on this thread. So many people have benefited from your honesty. Hey! I think you guys owe it to us to stay together; where else are we going to go for advice??????

[Narangga]

blowing a gale up here . . . . .:o

50 - 60kmph winds here today too :o

[JohnF]

You should have an e-mail from me Jason and Karen, Johnf

[Ausfree]

Hey Banj, whats this 'Old Fart" business??:D You haven't been on the Forum today, how are things going??:confused: I have a really full day tomorrow, have to take 15 sailors to Sidunee!!!:)

[The ho har's]

sorry to hear the news..

Jason and Karen talk it through.....please

[banjo]

Well hi everyone its not much better still .We atleast aren't yelling at each other..I will give use all some history to this time in our relationship..
Karen & i have never been the type to do the kissy cuddle hold hands thing i like that but Karen has never & i don't mind as we where having sex regualy every 2 day which made up for all that so was good..Now i know how much Karen does for me & i know i can do much more for myself instead of just getting Karen to get it..Which is lazy of me..Well about 4 to 5 weeks ago this all changed big time down to once a week if lucky its also the time fred started to crap on again so we have been streesed from that.. Well we get to this point often as i never keep up with going out because Karen says yeah i'l lget it Now i cant get the things from to far but i can get to Cardiff easy but i always giveup..Well since the sex died i have resented Karen cause we now dont have any closness at all & she would say something & i would grunt & the Karen retalyates so & so forth between the 2 of us..Well i have put Karen through so much strees & **** over 23 years its not funny & this last biggy is my fault as i have just not tryed enough or kept going with it there for Karen has to take up all the slack which is to much. Now in the last 4 weeks Karen & i have spent maybe 40 mins together cause of the kids + ashley is always here when the kids are at school. so there is no our time at all. Well Karen has been getting some tattoos & last night we where talking & she said i have to tell you something & you are going to hate me ( i was very scared) but it had to be said she is having some feelings for her tattooist in the sense that she wants to be with him & they are strong for her . She said he makes her laugh & happy. He is a gentlman in all respects the same as me every thing is the same as me only he doesn't have a problem & could give her more.. She now feels like an idiot but i told her no she isn't & there is noway on this earth i could hate her ever because she has done so much for me.I have said maybe she should confront him about it but she wont as he is married with a sick child . . I realy do not know what to say to her ..I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS SCEARED IN MY INTIRE LIFE EVER i love Karen so much its not funny & now i have caused all this..I have no one to blame but myself for this & it is in noway for me to blame Karen at all...
I tryed to little to late i went out with her today to the tool shop to get a nutsert tool then went over to some shops in a busy area autobarn & the good guys all at warners bay ..I then went to pickup our pamphlets & was actualy talking to the boss guy for nearly an hour then decided to go for a drive ended up going to the top of lake road & down to glendale & back home ..Again to little to late..
I am very sceared so is Karen & i will fight tooth & nail to win her love & trust back..
We had some trouble some time back & nearly broakup then & it nearly killed the kids so we are worried about them aswell. & have just found out fred is having her bad dreams again & drempt that she found me hanging from a rope in the little shed..

Now i realy realy am scared to the point where my chest has gone very numb like a doosy panic attack is about to start regualy..
I have made things worse because i keep telling her i love her so much its not funny & she feels so bad because she has had these feelings for someone else . . . .
Also just ran Karen down the road to get tea bags & cough lollies.. Again to little to late....




I will be making more of an effort to go out & do as much as i posably can to win Karens love back & trust so i am asking use all to give me a hand & a kick up the ass to get moving when needed ..


PS AUS i will be calling at your house one day but i wont be stopping i need a couple of dry runs then i will stop say G'day & probably leave straight away , So could you explain to Mrs Aus what is happening so she dont think i am to sico or something for when it does happen..

I realy enjoyed myself today & loved to see Karen smile while up talking to her boss....

I pretty much stick to cardiff but i will get to glendale again as i used to do that quiet a bit & would stop there for quiet awhile to so i need to do this bigtime & keep it up..
I do know i will have bad days but i will just have to suck it up...

[Narangga]

"i am asking use all to give me a hand"

That's what you need to do mate - will try and lend a hand as much as I can.

[banjo]

Karen has worried about & stressed over me for 23 years & it is very hard for her not to do this when we are out.
Which she needs to now ....
I have also asked her to talk to someone Vickie who is her best friend & my cousin I also told her to go over there for a night or 2 ...but she would just worry about us all back here...

I think she realy needs to talk to some one ..

And if we can work it out i would like her to go over to vickies for a night once a month to chill watch dvd's or just get drunk by herself & to now worry about us here as we will be ok.....

[Narangga]

Make sure you are saying these things to her too - it will let her know how much you love and care for her.

[banjo]

i have told her all day dont want to push her...

Karen has told me that she doesn't know if she loves me or weather it is worth trying to sort it out between us anymore

& this scares me to death.......




I will be back later as i am folding pamphlets . . . . .

[Narangga]

Catch you later - I'm going to work on my marriage too.

[Ausfree]

Banj,you are welcome at my house anytime and Mrs Aus knows the score, suggest try and make a time when we are home (if possible) as we are out quite often!!!:)

[DiscoMick]

Don't give up. Fcus on the positives. Use this to motivate you to get out more. Make a routine of small expeditions and then gradually extend them.

[Fluids]

Hey Banj, whats this 'Old Fart" business??:D You haven't been on the Forum today, how are things going??:confused: I have a really full day tomorrow, have to take 15 sailors to Sidunee!!!:)

Alright lover boy ... stop bragging! :wasntme:

Kev.. :p

[banjo]

I seriously seriously need help the one & only person that meens so much to me & has done so much for me & the only person i trust to tell my secrets & i go & **** her over to the degree that she feels this way ..

I deserve every thing i get & Karen deserves so much more & so much better its not funny.....


If use only new what Karen realy does for me & what i realy put her through it is so bad i can not tell use & i can not begin to pay her back..

I am so **** scared i want the ground to open up & swallow me so bad so as every one here can get on with there lives & not have me **** up or **** them over....

Some **** i am to do this to the one person i care so much for & I love to no end & so deep its not funny & i go & make her feel like this it kills me so much it hurts .. I have never been so scared i feel so sick in the guts ...

I want to give her so much & i cant do a ****ing thing right i wanna die so Karen & the kids can be happy & i dont do this any more, i just want to make them happy & proud thats all i want to do & i cant even do that right....

Ian i would love to do that with Kev & jim but i know i would fail i wouldn't even make it to stockton...

All of use help me so much & i cant do a damn thing to see anyone or do anything right i am so ashamed of what i have done to Karen its not funny I have let her down so much & so bad . . . .

I have let everyone down...

I tryed to tell my mother this morning while she was here & the ****ing mole just shrugged it off & kept talking about herself & how bad she is...

I cant win . . . . .

[Grockle]

[banjo]

Still the same unfortunatly . . . . . . . :(:(

[DiscoMick]

Can I suggest a positive course of action, to get you away from thinking negatively.

Sit down with an A4 page. Write, "Reasons why I love my partner and family" across the top. Divide the page into two columns. Write your name at the top of the left hand column.
Sit down and spend as long as it takes listing every possible positive reason why you love them. Put in everything, no matter how small. Turn the page over and keep writing until you've finished.

Now, ask Karen for a date. Make a time when you both have at least 2 hours of completely free time, with no kids or any distractions. Don't tell her why, just ask her to be free at that time.
At the time, sit her down and say you're not a good talker so you've made a list. Ask her to read the whole list and fill out the column for herself. Offer to make her a cuppa or whatever she likes while she completes it. Then leave her alone. Tell her to let you know when she's finished. Go outside and wait.

And a couple of ground rules:
1. If she's talking, shut up and listen. Do not interrupt.
2. You may only say positive things from the list. All negative statements are banned. Only speak positive.

You may think this is a bit unusual, but I guarantee if you give it a try you will be pleasantly surprised.

Also, try to compare the negative fears you're expressing with the real positives you will write on the list. The negatives are only future possibilities - they haven't happened yet - they're not real now, and they don't have to ever happen. The good news is you have the power to prevent them from ever becoming real.
By comparison, the positives you will write on the list are real now - they are not future possibilties - they are present reality. They are real now.
So you have a choice - to concentrate on future negative possibilitieis, and so maybe cause them to happen - or to focus on present positive realities, and to reinforce them and extend them in the future.

The power to shape your future is yours. You have the power. Use it positively.

Oh, I'm a praying man, so that's what I'll be doing for you all.

[JohnF]

And if we can work it out i would like her to go over to vickies for a night once a month to chill watch dvd's or just get drunk by herself & to now worry about us here as we will be ok.....

Please, you both should try to avoid getting drunk. Many who get drunk do things that they regret later, so try to avoid alcohol--it really does not help. Too many things people later regret are done under the influence of alcohol.

Those who drink to forget often find the alcohol helps them remember bad things, that they would otherwise have forgotton about.

Try to keep in mind that things can get better, and your kids love you both.

Try to pray about this, and I know this may be hard for you to do. Like disco mick I will be praying for you.

"And the prayer of faith shall save the sick [even those who a mentally sick], and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." James 5:15-16.

[Narangga]

i wanna die so Karen & the kids can be happy


That's just it mate they would NOT be happy if you did. You'll have to have another idea cos that one ain't gunna work.



I have let everyone down...


That's what you'll do if you keep that thinking up.

Each day is a new day and you live one day at a time. Making this one better than the last. Leave behind tha things you can not change - and if they are that bad ask forgiveness for them by truly saying sorry.

Keep talking to us mate so that together the rest on the forum can keep helping you like we have so far.

[The ho har's]

He hasn't been here since early yesterday so I think he won't be here for while:(

I don't have his phone number..but in saying that if you all ring may put pressure on him..hard to tell what to do... maybe we wait and see for a couple of days...hope it works out for the two of them


Mrs hh:angel:

[banjo]

G'day everyone sorry for the delay had & got more inportant things on my mind . . . . .

Mick if i started to wright the good things i will still be going in another 23 years......


John i never pray & i meen no offence to anyone about it...


Karen & i have been talking .....

[Narangga]

Karen & i have been talking .....

Good place to start - but also make sure you are listening.

Thinking of you both.

[banjo]

OK this is where we are at , & yes it is my fault its at this stage , But i can fix this with some help & i have know idea as to how any of use can do to help... Years ago i was doing everything with karen everything, Well around here shopping & running around.. Now i do nothing because i get moody & bored & just use the excuse of a bad day there for Karen has to carry all the weight on her sholders...
Now karen has said that there must be something here for her as she is still here & she didn't act on her feeling...
She is having so much trouble in trusting me that this wont happen again & i stuff her over which i don't blame her , I do promise to make as much effort to win her love & trust back..
Now you locals can explain this , Karen has told me that she would be happy if i can do the running around with her around here as we realy don't have to go far for this. as everything we need is at Cardiff or Warners bay & i can get to these places without to much trouble & she would like me to go with her to help instead of her going in & out like a blue assed fly by herself, Share the load..& she will do anything out of my reach.
& she told me that even if i was to go & get my own smokes on my own sometimes would make a big differance as she would be very happy to just sit on the lounge by herself for the 10 mins without worrying about me or having to go out again some normality is what she wants & that is what she is going to get no mater what it takes & i will be making all the sacrefices this time not her ..
I have told Karen i realy don't need her to worry about me now BUT this is very hard for her to do after so long doing it..
So i have told her yes it is going to change & yes i am going to do it & keep it up .
& karen will still do any running around to the places i cant get to for now but i want to do this aswell with some time..
I have told Karen that she needs to make time for herself away from me to go out for lunch with Vickie or one of the other ladies she knows & even if she wants to go & stay over at Vickies for a night & watch girly movies & what not by her self no kids & no me & to not worry about us here as we will be fine & if we aren't i will ring Aus or Grockle, Fluids ,Drifter or some one just to say G'day so i don't think of it....
Now Karen is worried that if i have a bad day instaed of me getting over it in just a couple of days that i will relaps back to what it was , & i promise to do everything i can to avoid this from happening.. BUT she did say that yes she does realise i am going to have some bad days & is fine with that but if it started to look like it was heading south it could be realy bad . . . .
Now for the last 2 days i have run Karen everywhere & i even had a conversation with her boss for an hour , Today i went & picked up the papers & went to a beauty shop thingy with Karen to book in for a waxy thing & i have realy realy enjoyed it...

I would like to ask use to help me with some stuff as i have know idea as to what to do by myself never had to & i don't know about going out on my own going to get smokes is one thing but actualy going & doing something by myself is realy frightning as what if i say go to Aus's place on my own what if i just say G'day & leave ?
Anyone got anything i can do for them around here a bit latter Hey maybe i could take Aus for a drive somewhere close in a real landy,Hope you have a kidney belt Aus..

The only thing i am worried about is the feelings Karen has for this bloke is that she is booked in for next tuesday at 2pm to get the other side done & i'm scared that her feelings mite grow for him as he will be right up in her face to do the tattoo so yeah a little worried & yes i do TRUST Karen.. But i will not tell her she can't go back there because i cant after what she has done for me & if i did this she would rezent me for doing this.. & she has asked that i not get in touch with him myself & i respect her wishes but i am a little scared ...& like she said how many weman would tell there husbands about the feelings till it was time to tell him to hit the curb . . . . .

Karen is sitting on the floor next to me & she told me she is relaxed & i have seen her smile for the first time in a long while & its great....

She needs her time to sort it out in her head she says so i am trying to leave her alone ,Hard to do as i just want to hold her..

Tomorrow we have to go & deliver the papers as we didn't get them done so we will be out doing this for a bit then i am going down to get my smokes hopfully by myself as we finish the papers in our street so i can get my car & go get them & thats all we have to do & Karen said she would probably like to just sit at home speicaly if its raining...

I think i did a stupid thing yesterday i asked Karen to marry me again cause the funny thing is when Vickie called in on the weekend she is the nurse well one of her doctor friends wife is a sellabrant & she found out that she would marry us for around $200 at home & i actualy have the money to do this for the first time ..But i realy do want to get married . . . .

Anyway i hope you post after reading this Karen . I hope i have got all this right.. AND i want to fix this properly & I will not let you down again . . . .


PS I love you so much Karen its not funny as much as i need air to breath . . .

[Narangga]

Today i went & picked up the papers & went to a beauty shop thingy with Karen to book in for a waxy thing & i have realy realy enjoyed it...



Boy you are in a bad way Banjo.:eek::eek::eek:
