To: My Blogger Brothers & Sisters,
Yep, I'm taking a little blogger break.
My life is a shambles and I need to take care of it. My marriage is on its way down the toilet. My daughter and grand-daughter are on their way back to Wisconsin or they'll be homeless by August. And yesterday, I found out that I'll be losing my job of 10 years in about 2 weeks.
Why do I expose all of this to you? I tell you this because I consider a lot of you like family. We've shared so much together over the past few years. I feel like I know so many of you even though we may have never met face-to-face yet.
Even though things are pretty crappy right now, I have to trust that there are better days ahead in all of these areas of my life. It's always darkest before the dawn.
Dean "D-Day"
P.S. Prayers will be gratefully accepted.
Me & my soul-riding partner, "Dixie"

Holy Cow Dean! I'm so very sorry about all of this. WOW! I'm praying for you Brother! Just keep the faith...things always do turn around. Sometimes different things in life happen for a very good reason. New beginnings aren't always bad! If you need anything let me know!
Dude, been following you quietly, but just want to say now, prayers will be coming your way from here.
Remember to find some time to ride, no matter how bad it gets. Riding is a fundamental part of who we are, and we can't forsake it completely.
Best wishes.
Dean, hang in there and remember to follow your heart. Ride and breath deep when you can. As they say, it is always darkest just before dawn.
prayers and goods vibes being sent...
Dean, that's a heavy load you're carrying man. It will be rough for a while but as others have said (and will say), things will turn around if you can just keep the faith.
We'll miss you, but we'll be thinking about you and looking forward to your return under better circumstances.
I'm really sorry to hear about all that crap. You know how to reach me if you need anything, get ahold of me. Keep in touch. I hope all will work out well for you soon.
:(
I wish I could say something to change your mind... but that would be selfish of me.
I hate that your daughter and granddaughter are forced to move, but the silver lining here is you'll be able to have that precious little girl close to you.
I guess these troubled economic times have no prejudices and can creep into our personal lives as well. I'm very sorry to learn of this news and I will pray for a quick turn around of your situation.
Even if you don't post for awhile, drop a comment now and then so we know your still there.
Hang in there bro... the sun will brighten your door again... I know it will!

Prayers be with you. Will pray for a turn around in your marriage and job. For baby girl and your granddaughter too. Things do come out for the good. May be not in the time we wish, but they will. Just did 17 months with out a pay check. It strained my marriage BAD. But with prayer and faith the check showed up and the marriage is much much better. Back to normal so to speck. Only thing I can say is to stay positive brother.
DEAN..sorry to hear about all your misfortunes..when it rains, it pours...my prayers are with you and your entire family.
" Life is like a sine curve; it has its ups and downs. If you're feeling really down, then just remember that you'll be going up that same amount some day soon "
Prayers and thoughts coming your way, Dean.
Life can really be a bitch sometimes. All I can say about the marriage thing is that in the end it will work out, one way or another. I fought for my marriage for more than four years and ended up filing. In the end, was better for both of us. To each their own, and best of luck to you, which ever direction things go.
Ride safe and keep the rubber side down, both on asphalt and in life. Take care.
I know that you are a man of faith, and times like these are when we are really tested. I'm praying for you. I wish we lived closer so we could help, but if there's anything we can do, you have Dave's email.

Hey Brother. Hmmmm....That just sucks a whole bag of dicks! You know what? I have been there, am still there and will probably continue to be there for awhile.
So, you need a support group. Why do you think I started blogging? Keep your support group brother. We are here for you and anyone who isn't...well, I'll take a bat and shove it so far up their pink puckering starfish that I carve my name in tomorrows shit.
Are you a survivor DDay? You bet your ass you are! Kick this bullshit square in the teeth and stand on the tracks. You are going to get through this and a real man will accept some help along the way so take it when it's offered. I don't know what I can do but if you need an ear, well, it's yours.
All the best. It's just a winter storm that gives way to spring and a new beginning. Hang in there! I understand some of what you are going through.
Dean, although I'm not a religious gal, I am faithful. I will send prayers your way. I hope things get better quickly for you. We have been through many dark times ourselves, and though we couldn't see it then, we see now that we had to get through those times to get where we are today.
Stay well, ride safe and come back when you're ready. We will still be here.
I'm not so much a man of prayers, but I am one of faith. Maybe what I have faith in isn't what most would be thinking of, but it is there nonetheless.
As you know, my marriage got Katrina-ed recently, so at least in that respect I'm with you. I have faith that both of us will get through it because of all the things Dave said in his comment. (BTW..."pink, puckering starfish," LMFAO! I really love that!)
I can totally relate to being too busy to do this. I've been at it for nearly two hours now, and I've barely hit HALF the blogs on my blog roll in playing comment catch-up. I've barely had time to pee lately.
Yeah man, go do what you have to do. I/we understand. Also though, remember the support group thing too. I don't wanna see you on Yahoo! News up on top of a water tower with a goddamned M-16 ok?
Whatever you to, don't fold. Stand up straight, hold you middle finger high, and as Ann would say, "Joke em' if they can't take a fuck!"
You'll be hearing from me shortly brother.
From my long time friends to the new folks out there - I want to thank everyone for all the great comments.
I'm taking things as they come and making some big changes in my life. Sometimes it's not for us to know the reason why things happen. We just have to accept that it happened for a reason.
Thanx again my brothers & sisters!
Love ya!
Life ain’t fair. Now get the f#ck over it! Hard times are here and hard times may be ahead. Hard and resourceful people “will” weather this shit-storm and come out on top. I’m pretty sure you’re both. You’ve got lots of resources and contacts, use them. Friends are meant to be used. Real friends know it and don’t mind. They understand. I’ve been there. May be there again. Lots of people I know have, or are there now. But we take care of each other. We’re still here, surviving. That’s what we do, survive.
Hey friend, keep the faith. I always have a hard time thinking that things happen for a reason. Especially when those things are bad. But listen, the road may be rocky now, but it WILL smooth out in time, ya dig? Love ya.
Dude, you are in my prayers. Having been thru several ups and downs in life, you are definately in my thoughts and prayers. Get plenty of sleep. Tough decisions come best to a rested mind.
-Peace
