Yes, I'm still alive...

Just to head this off...

1. No, I was not abducted by aliens (or at least if I was, it didn't last long)...
2. No, I was not in an "undisclosed location" for fear of terrorism....
3. No, I was not undercover in Iraq (but if I was, I couldn't tell you)...

I've recently been dealing with a custody battle for my step-daughter, vs. the state agencies. This is, and will still be, a long process, and hasn't left much time to surf the web... It's really taking it's toll on my wife, and my family in general, as until things are sorted out, she's in temporary custody with my brother (about our only victory to date).

Just wanted everyone to know I haven't forgotten about everyone...

Soon, I'll have enough copies of the TLC Wedding Story episode we were on, to start up a rotation with two copies. I'll make another post then to start that going...

I'll try and get back to this thread, just to answer any replies. Thanks all, and wish me luck in this ordeal...

good luck with everything that you are dealing with. i know it must be hard. i wish you, your wife, and your family the best and hope all turns out in your favor in the end.

Hey howdy and I hope all works out.
Missing you around ATS/BTS.

Message to all units : "Abort operation Bringing Gaz back from the evil alien spaceship"

Yeah, we've been missing you man. Hope everythings works out well for you.

It's all been said, I'll second it. Good luck man.

It's nice to see you here......everytime I see the commercial for Shrek 2 it reminds me of you.
Good luck with that battle and remember that you and your family are in my thoughts and my prayers

Hey Gaz! Good to have you back man.

Im sorry to hear about the problems you've been having. Hopefully everything will get sorted out soon and all will be well.

Anyways Good to have you back man.

glad to see you back gaz
I'm sure your situation will end up well, but from what i see in the news, Florida laws regarding child custody really sucks. I hope you're fighting this case in another state and not in our lovely homestate.

i hope you get your daughter back, it sucks big melons for a parent to loose their child. best of luck

Sorry to hear that things have been rough for you. I keep looking out for re-airings of your TV appearance. Also, we have been carrying on your Banshee/Echelon/GLORY thread.

I'm sure your situation will end up well, but from what i see in the news, Florida laws regarding child custody really sucks. I hope you're fighting this case in another state and not in our lovely homestate.

Unfortunately, there is no choice but to fight it here in Florida, where a parent would have more rights if they lived in Siberia...*sigh* I'm just trying to come up with the dough for a decent lawyer, as without one, she's as good as gone..... We've got a plan...and hopefully all will work out well... I've just got to have hope...

i have hope for you too gaz, I am sure you and your fiance will prove to be good parents and the court will grant you custody. Stay strong, you're doing the right thing.

Well, we did get a decent lawyer now, so at least that's the first important step...
