Ricky, Must be hard to share something this personal with anyone who visits this site. I know there are those who can read about a persons dilemnas and figure out what they think you want to hear and go for it. Sure you need support...but you also deserve the hard truth. Anyone who has been in your position as backbone of your operation can easily discern that you're suffering from stress and burnout. At $200K annual gross sales...you're days are obviously filled...however, in truth, that's not enough dollars to make enough of a return to justify the stress and demands you are dealing with. If you're loaded with even normal debt that most Americans have, and you're responsible for employees incomes, etc...I can also see that your wife likely has valid issues about Money.
When Money is a problem, it amplifies many other issues. You're not alone...we've all been there, are there or going there. Splitting to Alaska sounds good...and it may be the answer...or it might be just a mirage. Jumping from 200K sales to 350K sales is easier than you think...but Money problems and stress don't seem to ever go away. God Bless you, and your family. I bet if your son and wife acknowledged the efforts and stress you deal with everyday and worked our a way to take some of the load...it would make a huge difference. If it is too late....that's a bummer...but learn from your experiences..because life has a way of not really being different despite the geography.

Best of luck to ya Rick! I too am leaving the East! I left my gf just before Christmas because communication wasn't getting through. I know what you are going through and since I lost my job and closed my shop, I am back in NJ working with Harry Henkel for another month until I pack my ride for the long trip! Good Luck, and keep in touch, I will visit Alaska one of these days. Stock up on Carharts though... they have the Carhart festival up there.... Pretty cool! Also pick yourself up a Ruger .480 or something... Bears don't like when you shop at their "grocery store". Take er easy! Doug.

not ADD,this post has A-S-S and it reeks like an unwashed one. This post should have been locked long ago before it became the idiotic trainwreck that driveled on almost 4 pages. This has about as much business here as the irrational paranoia over politics. No matter what opinion anyone wants to take here,besiegel is right,you have one side of the story here period. From that,predictably,a bunch of people have made it their usual point not to be able to stay the hell out of peoples personal business like 2 old ladies across the fence with coffe cups. I dont know ricky or his wife,dont give a damn in the great scheme of things,but if two people stay together as long as they have and one allows himself to be taken advantage of over said period then will willingly walk away from what he supposedly built singlehandedly,then it makes him just as much of an idiot as being a self centered materialistic bit*h allegedly makes her whether anyone likes it or not,and if said named idiot chooses to walk away form everything he supposedly has built single handedly without taking a dime,then it does not make him a hero living out his dream,it makes him stupid in addition to being an idiot. Takes no nuts to run from anyone when the other party isnt there to face you. Most ridiculous and assinine post of the first have of 2006.

Great post Gavin. I have to wonder what you edited it for. Did it not have quite enough misspellings and grammatical errors? It's kind of hard to take it serious calling someone you obviously don't know stupid and an idiot in a post that looks like it was typed by a chimpanzee with a hammer. The New Orleans school system must be proud.

no you need to re-read.....i didnt say everyone,so stop lumping yourself in that category. I said ricky. period. 2 sides to this story,and all the busybodies hopped on one. Get his wife in here and you will probably soon find out the guy who started this post isnt next in line to be knighted. Gonna love what happens when her atty gets a copy of this post and takes it to depositions and court. Maybe next time ridiculous BS like this will get locked instead of waiting for the 3page trainwreck.

I have to wonder why those, like Gavin, who find this BB so ridiculous, spend so much time reading it and enjoying our live chat. Most would just change the channel.
And so ends another stirring episode in the life and times of the folks of Letterville. At the end of the day, we learn that all of us are no different than any other Community.
We all have various opinions on marriage and divorce. These feelings are often based on personal experience, or the experiences of those close to us. Some of us have known Ricky for 25 years, while others are just getting to know him. I'd like to think we all wish Ricky the Letterhead only the best for the future.
Now that Ricky has moved on, it's time to close, and probally delete this thread.
