Pending divorce is sucking me dry.

Tons of buttons- all types. Complete with leafs, micro switches, and mounting nuts. Nice mix of types and styles (new and used. most used good +)

Complete joysticks.

Bunch of shafts

Joystick bases- a few Wicos.

misc pieces and parts.


Hoping to get $180 shipped (in the USA) to go towards lawyer retainer. For what is there, it should be a great deal for anyone needing spare parts. This weighs in at 31 pounds to give you an idea of how much is there.

Crap, if I wasn't so broke, I'd jump. :( That's a seriously good deal, especially shipped!

Good luck with the sale, Mario is a kickass guy to get stuff from, I know from personal experience.

Good luck in the divorce. They sure can get ugly...

Her idea, not mine. Almost 20 years and she no longer loves me. I have been the stay at home dad for over 2 years, so no job. I am screwed hard. She wants me to get the house, but I have no idea how to keep it. My 2 sons want to live with me, but i am not sure how i can support them.
 
i am looking for a job in a desperate way if anyone in Tucson can help me. The market down here is ugly.
 
There is good news in this: You've been the main caregiver for your kids for 2 years, so you will get custody if you want it. At least that is how it works in my state.
 
my 12 year old would want to stay with me. my 9 year old would be a toss up. i moved out almost 2 months ago (so she can make up her mind), and she still does not want to tell our kids. i cannot say anything to them, because i am in no position to promise them anything- aside from me being here for them. if i can keep the house, i would be positive of getting custody of both. same home, school, and less stress. not sure how i can keep from losing the house with no income. i do not want my marriage to end- this was her idea. i still love her and do not want to put any of us through the divorce process and aftermath. i do not think she fully comprehends the whole divorce process. this sucks hard.
 
Hang in there.

Have faith.

Do WHATEVER it takes. If you have to sell the house - sell it. If you have to move - move. If you have to move in with family - do it. There is no time for humility at a time like this. What you do and how you handle this will affect your boys, their children, gradchildren, etc. Show them what being a father is. Show them that no matter what happens in their life there will be someone there for them, that no matter what life throws at you you can conquer it. Show them, teach them what it takes to be a father and no matter what happens in their lives they will be able to rise above any adversity and survive. It hurts, but it is up to you.

I fought for over 2 1/2 years as a single dad to keep custody of my kids (the state removed them from their mother when she got into a fist fight with her mother while holding my 8 month old daughter. The fight ended when she slammed my daughter's head into the door jam - luckily my daughter was o.k.). I won.

$60,000+ later it was worth every penny. My kids, and me are stronger for it.


If these don't sell I will buy them.
 
i have made it a point to be the best father any kid could hope for (due to my childhood). when they call me dad, it is with pride. they both brag about me to their friends. we have done things that very few people get the chance to do at any age. they are not spoiled brats either.

my soon to be ex is not mean or anything. she is under the illusion that both our kids are still 5 years old and need their mommy. i keep asking her for a chance to work things out before she goes through with this, but her mind is made up.

whether i lose the house or sell it, i could not offer them a home in any sense of the word. i could petition for custody after the first year. no family here. not much i can do. i see my lawyer wed. afternoon to see what else i can do.
 
If you are serious about keeping the boys you need to GO RIGHT NOW and file for temporary custody. If she does this she can legally hold them boys away from you.
Then you have to go to court to get visitation setup.

THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!! DO NOT DELAY
Most times a judge will award you physical care with 50/50 visitation because the children have established a stable routine.

Been down this road my friend and the BIGGEST and MOST STUPID thing a man can do is sit back and try to play the nice guy hoping the wife changes her mind. DON'T BE A FOOL. Protect you and your kids first. If she decides she wants to work it out she'll come back no matter.
 
I am hoping she changes her mind, but i doubt it will happen. my main concern is for the well being of my children. she will not abuse them or anything if she gets custody. she just has no idea what boys their age do, and she has very little free time (according to her) to spend with them at all. if the boys decide they want to live with her, i will respect their wishes. no need to cause them needless heartache. i will forever and always be here for both of them regardless of the outcome.
