The Scientology Cult..... Movie.... Good stuff!

lol - so you never even had an actual offer from any department or agency? You got rejected by an academy that you pay for yourself??? God, this just gets sadder and sadder....

Yea, just keep telling yourself that i don't know what i am talking about. You are correct, I certainly don't know about paying my own way through the police academy (what school was that anyway??) hoping to get hired by some small town police department. All the agencies and departments that offered me jobs paid for everything (including a full salary while in the academy...lol).

You were rejected by an academy you were paying for yourself...lol.

God help me why are you people so immoral and stupid?

1. I never "applied" to any agency, so if I didn't apply I couldn't be rejected.
2. I wasn't rejected by the "Academy" moron, the Academy "farmed out" the deep Background checks, and the particular agency they used (which was RPD "Reno Police Dept.) had a hiring stipulation that was an auto-disqualifyer, and they did the background check as if they were going to hire you, that if you were in the military you only could have an honorable, no matter the reasons for leaving, period, thus when the background went through, it was auto-disqualified. This occured two weeks before Academy start, and so I had time to decide what to do next. During that time again as I said, I re-evaluated what I wanted in life, which was a more 8-5 job, and family time.

Yet, you condem in your ignorace...... sad human being you are.

I was fully accepted by the Academy.... I after all wouldn't have had all my equipment, uniforms, gun, etc. had the Academy rejected me, and I also wouldn't have been good friends with the Director of the Academy and some of it's instructurs.

Anyway, not my problem if you can't comprehend facts and ignore reality.
Many officers go to Academy's first and then apply to Agency's, it happens to be a technique for getting a job easier idiot.
That you don't know that is telling..... You are likely some ignorant bigoted small town hick cop, retired or still working, able to spend time being a bigot on Mormon boards because you have no actual crimes to solve. haaa hahaaa

Lots of words to just admit you were rejected by the academy you were paying for (since you didn't have an actual job offer) because you dropped out of the military. See, one sentence. Your story sucks and nobody cares about the people who acted like your friend because you were paying their salary. You never even had a job offer... end of story.

I would have rejected you flat out because of your inability to write a coherent sentence but dropping out of the military would have done it as well. Not only that, the instant you started talking about how you have been training since the age of 7 to be in law enforcement and how you "observe and understand" people, I would have shown you the door....


by the way, where is that list?

[_ldsfaqs]

faqs,

What exactly did you teach?

I never did officially get into teaching because of the things my ex did to our family.
Because I switched several schools I still needed to do teaching certification and take a couple of classes, but was never able to.
Did start an Elementary program, but I never had an interest in Elementary teaching. And by the time they had a Secondary program the family was even more screwed up due to her. I was supposed to teach P.E., Health, and Computers.

Otherwise, I've done various kinds of teaching in other areas with jobs, church, martial arts, and such.
I'm actually a very good teacher. I'm good at near anything I do. Though, need to get some of that back due to my current condition, and I'm also wearing glasses, which makes it harder to have the instincts I used to have physically speaking.

Hopefully that's all going to change now if my ex follows through this time.
She want's us to live together again as a tenant, babysitter and friends.
But, there is a roommate/friend of hers in the way, and she doesn't want her to leave, and the friend doesn't want to leave, and she really needs to.
Stake Missionarys (the ones you all saw the pic of), Bishop, and my Counselor all agree.

My ex seems to be repenting some..... hopefully this doesn't become a deal breaker, because me and the kids have suffered enough.
The primary catalyst was her realizing she's not a good parent (for most things).
She's allowed the kids teeth to become bad, she allows them to waist a lot of time gaming and such, not accomplishing anything, and my middle son and her had a fight where they actually hit each other. I just hope her change isn't her trying to use me again as she did the last 6 years of the marriage in her obsession to get rich.

Well, we shall see.....

faqs? Do you know CPR?

[_ldsfaqs]

faqs? Do you know CPR?

Of course.... Certified likely 10 times over the years with the various jobs I've had, scouting, etc.
Even been Water Safety Instructor Certified.
I taught my ex how to swim actually.....

Let me guess.... You're likely trying to do some "test" on me to see if I'm telling the truth, because as you likely know, teachers, etc. often are required to be certified.

[_Jersey Girl]

Good, because I just damned DIED reading the post you made and you better get over here and save my ass. Bring a mouth guard.

Previously you wrote this: underlined

I didn't "fail" in my first career choice.
I was two weeks from starting the Police Acadamy, and I had a tech glitch with paperwork that there wasn't time to fix, and that time caused me to re-evaluate what I wanted to do career wise and for family, and I realized I wanted to work a more normal schedual so as to be there better for family, and so I switched to being a Teacher. At first I thought about continuing my education in Music, but being married and practical thoughts had me continue the teaching route. Of course, the ex screwed that up, but that's another story. In transition now after many years, don't know which way to go anymore since there's so much I was supposed to have done.

Anyway, more ignorant lying from you about people.

Now you are telling me this:

I never did officially get into teaching because of the things my ex did to our family.

What the actual “F”? You continued the teaching route but you never officially got into teaching?

Because I switched several schools I still needed to do teaching certification and take a couple of classes, but was never able to.

Okay...remember the other day when I said you could talk to me and that anyone who really knows me here, knows I would spend time talking to you?

Here ya go...

Did start an Elementary program, but I never had an interest in Elementary teaching.

Word to the wise. If you don't have an interest in something, don't start a program in it. Why in the hell did you do that?

And by the time they had a Secondary program the family was even more screwed up due to her. I was supposed to teach P.E., Health, and Computers.

In what way were you "supposed" to teach these subjects? Is it because those interest you?

Otherwise, I've done various kinds of teaching in other areas with jobs, church, martial arts, and such.

Sounds like you're talking about instruction, right?

I'm actually a very good teacher. I'm good at near anything I do. Though, need to get some of that back due to my current condition, and I'm also wearing glasses, which makes it harder to have the instincts I used to have physically speaking.

I'm not sure why you think wearing glasses or physical limitations would prevent you from doing anything. In your above, you mentioned computers. You can wear glasses and basically sit on your ass like you're doing right now, and work toward instruction via a distance learning program.

You can take your courses online. Earn a degree in tons of stuff. Start with community college, do your 2 years and continue on. You need a refresher English course.

This is where you start to slide off the edge.....

Hopefully that's all going to change now if my ex follows through this time.
She want's us to live together again as a tenant, babysitter and friends.
But, there is a roommate/friend of hers in the way, and she doesn't want her to leave, and the friend doesn't want to leave, and she really needs to.

Well, we shall see.....

Lee, you have GOT to stop making HER responsible for all of your choices. Nobody wants a codependent man, okay?

First, get a haircut over the weekend and make a list.

Make a list of the things that you're good at, that you think you have a true aptitude for. On that list, identify the things you freaking love doing. Not the stuff that you simply like, the stuff that jazzes the hell out of you.

What are they?

Find out what they are and set your sights on them. You don't have to be young to retrain or go to school. My own mother graduated high school the same year as I did. I didn't even start college until I was just a year younger than you.

Why?

Because I was DRIVEN by something I freaking loved doing and pursued it as a profession.

Don't do something to please a woman.
Don't wait on the woman to please yourself.

If you aren't sure about what to do, go to your local community college and see if they can give you a test to help you identify a program/profession/vocation that will best suit you. You might be surprised what you learn about yourself.

Okay, I'm going to date myself here (not in the biblical sense)...about 30 years ago, I took such a test. The oddest things came up on it. Things I never expected to see and yet, there was one result that had been simmering in the back of my mind for a couple of years starting the day I laid eyes on an early childhood classroom, didn't know what it was, until I walked into it (reluctantly) when it was filled with children, and found something I never even knew existed.

I didn't ignore the test, I simply said no to it.
I couldn't do it.
I was too old to go to school.
I was to old to start a new path.
I couldn't manage a family and school at the same time.

Teachers kept telling me I would make such a good teacher. I thought they were just being nice to me. Not so long after that, it was still burning around inside of me and I thought, "I don't want to wake up one day and be 50 years old and never know if I could have been good at it."

And then I decided to take a leap of faith. A year younger than you are right now, I started college. I already had years of experience to build on because you couldn't pry me away from the ECE classrooms I assisted in. My kids went to preschool for 2-3 years each. I went to preschool for almost 30 years and I still go. :-)

Can I just tell you? I found out I was not just good at it, I freaking rocked at it! I've taught upwards of 1K young children, their parents, college students, and presented in all sorts of environments including visiting staff from other programs in my state. I swear, there are posts up in Terrestrial I've written where you can see it's my passion.

What I am saying to you, is don't wait on the woman.
Don't wait until you lose weight.
Don't wait until you feel physically more in shape.

Do it NOW.

Don't let another weekend slip through your hands without pursuing the blessings that lie ahead of you.

One more thing before the masses come in here with another round of mockery.

See this?

My ex seems to be repenting some..... hopefully this doesn't become a deal breaker, because me and the kids have suffered enough.
The primary catalyst was her realizing she's not a good parent (for most things).
She's allowed the kids teeth to become bad, she allows them to waist a lot of time gaming and such, not accomplishing anything, and my middle son and her had a fight where they actually hit each other. I just hope her change isn't her trying to use me again as she did the last 6 years of the marriage in her obsession to get rich.

The change that you see in her is a woman up to her eyeballs with boys who are fast becoming out of control. I forget how old they are, possibly adolescent?

Yes, she wants to use you. She wants you to bail her out. She doesn't want you to be her man again, she wants you to be her referee.

Do yourself a favor. Concentrate on the boys. Show them what a man is. Show them a man who has got his crap together.

Start with the sprucing up hair cut, beard, make yourself that list I talked about.

Don't worry if the rest of you doesn't match the hair cut. You can work on that next.

You have a solid chance at changing your life course and mentoring your boys by example at the same time.

And believe it or not, as much as you hate all of us, Lee there are people around here who would affirm you for taking one step forward.

I did fail the background check moron..... but only because of my military experience in which I had to leave early for health/family reasons, so I didn't get an Honorable discharge. And no, I didn't do anything illegal, and I wasn't considered "crazy" either.

Having been in the military myself and retired from the USAF, I have to question the veracity of the above. Merely having to leave the military early for legitimate health reasons does not preclude one from getting an honorable discharge.

[_Jersey Girl]

faqs? Do you know CPR?

Let me guess.... You're likely trying to do some "test" on me to see if I'm telling the truth, because as you likely know, teachers, etc. often are required to be certified.

Nope. I was setting up a joke to use as the intro to my reply depending on how you answered.

:-D

[_ldsfaqs]

Already fully shaved and cut, back to how I used to be. She was happy about it obviously.
She's given me her proposal, and I'm giving her tomarrow my counter proposal, accepting her's, but with a minor change of getting her friend out of the house (that she doesn't want to ask to leave), so her loyalties and priorities are split. Either the family comes first from now on, even if we aren't a couple anymore, or that's it.

If she doesn't agree, then I'm out, to heck with her. I'm tired of always being the one fighting for the family and destroyed by her.
Not what I want for the kids, but I'm not going to allow her to control and use me anymore.

So, we shall see how much light is really in her now, whether she is in the repentance process or not, just using me instead so she can do and get what she wants.
