GOING

[Jim @ Jawa]

Home in about 6 hours. Manila the big city sucks. I got through the 5 VA appointments, yesterday. Without getting escorted out. Of course changes in the meds. Five days in Manila is five days too many. Be glad to see the hairy kids.

Glad you are still plugging away. Anytime in the cities is too much for me anymore. I am getting less tolerant in my old age.

Take care Jim.

Glad you are back home and I can picture the welcome your "kids" gave you.

I'll see you in July then. Love you Gpa.

[Jim @ Jawa]

How are you gonna do that with a wife and three kids to support?
Don't get your ass in an uproar. I still don't know for sure if they're gonna bust my chest open or not, and I haven't even found a place to live in Seattle yet. Most places are more than I got so WE might be sleeping out on the sidewalk with the rest of the homeless. My finances cannot support $3500+ a month for rent of a studio apartment in Seattle.
Save your money you need it for your family. You can visit after you get your children raised.
Don't worry, I have survived a lot of shit in my life and bypass surgery is not at the top of that list. You have obviously forgot what a tough bastard I am. If the North Vietnamese could not take away my birthday, I don't think the VA hospital in Seattle can do that.

Got a place in Seattle only $8,000. for three months. That is fully furnished from shit paper to full size frig. 20 min cab ride to the VA.
flying to Manila on the first of July, over night then long hull to Honolulu four hour layover and then the flight nonstop to Seattle. Business class to Honolulu and the business class was sold out between Honolulu and Seattle. I was forced to buy first class ticket.

[Jim @ Jawa]

The tickets I bought this year are one-way tickets because I don't know how long I'm gonna be there. It also leaves open the possibility of flying someplace and seeing you and your family. I also have three brothers that live there in Michigan. I just might stop in there and see all of you at the same time and then get the hell out before the ex-wife finds out. I'm in the state. I have no desire whatsoever to lay my eyes on that ugly bitch she's also crazy and also born stupid. I'm glad to get that off my chest. The admission that I even married such a woman and calling her a woman is far more than she deserves. Pat offered to put both those women in jail and there's no doubt that he couldn't. I told him to leave it alone becouse neither him or I or that kind of people. If there is no statute of limitations in the state of Michigan, on classic A felonies your biological grandmother could go to jail for life. The only reason I did that was. I didn't wanna lower myself or your dad by doing that. A lot of things we need to talk about as far as our family is concerned in the years gone by.
So print this out, stick it on the refrigerator so I can't forget it and we will talk about it. The next time we see each other.
Next time keep this personal kind of shit in personal emails. We don't need to be airing our dirty laundry on an open form like this one.

Wow!! Even $8,000 for three months would be a little steep for me!!
