To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods
Good luck with your move back to the US of A, Sarge. I understand your reasons and a bit of the crap that you've obviously had to put up with here in NZ. As you say about the specific gravities of blood and water, you need to do the best for your family -- and for yourself. I really hope everything works out for you. Anyway, I hear that they've now got the Interweb in America, so you should still be able to logon and keep us all honest. Some insider information on the upcoming presidential election would be appreciated.
Semper Fi, Sarge.

Sarge...no-one knows exactly what you are going through, but we are all there for you and your family.![]()
I just wish you all the best in what ever decisions you will make now and in the future. Just try to keep strong even though it may seem hopeless at the mo.
As I often say - Kia Kaha..be strong. I mean it with all my heart.

Hi Sarge,
You don't know me - I've met you a couple of times in Colemans and before in Red Baron, but I don't think we even exchanged names.
I don't often trawl through the Rant and Rave section of KB, so I missed the first thread about your son. I live almost directly between Lynfield College and Margaret Griffin Park so I felt annoyed I hadn't seen the thread in time. The last I could have done was gone out to have a looksee.
Until I saw your 'leaving' thread, I was going to send you a message with a suggestion that your son might have been interested in; an athletics club out at Margaret Griffin park. I guess that's not a valid option now.
However, the whole point to this rambling post is this: depression's a bitch. I've been there and I've got the scars, both physical and mental, to remind me. You've made the first move - admitting there is something up - and talking about it and bringing it into the open is about the best thing you can do. It's a hard road getting through it; some people can overcome it and many others find a way to cope with it and carry on life as normal. There's no magic bullet or secret elixir - it's different in every case.
So ... wherever your life takes you, wherever you end up, I wish you the strength to find a way through the dark. Like night and day, light always follows dark, and only you can decide when dawn comes.
Sorry to see you go, Sarge, on behalf os us Arrogant W@nker Wellies !!!
You will be missed.
"...you meet the weirdest people riding a Guzzi !!..."
Sarge, PM me the price of the lece chainsaw and postage, very interested.
I was widowed at 29, and as a result feel like you about religion, but just want to remind you that things can get better.
Best wishes mate.
