Well we are in the lovly town of Jasper. And this KB sucks... So today we head off on Via Rail. So I doubt much posting unless they have internet on the train... Not bloody likely. Great town though. We never saw a bear but darn near everything else so far. No upload for pics of course so they will have to wait till Toronto. The Icefields were wonderfull and he weather cooperated wonderfully. Including a glacier haveing a calf, oh sorry calfing.. Anyways, great fun and all that. Hope you are not all expecting gifts cause we are both maxed on suitcase space.. So it aint gonna happen. OK well off and roaming some more. Gonna go toss some rocks at some Elk and see if they will chase me down the street.

Well, today we are off. Going to spend the day in the icefields and rideing on them in a snow buggy thing. Then we head to Jasper for the night. Tomarrow we get on the VIA train and head east. We will both miss the sceanery but the altitude is driveing us both nuts I think. Allways dry and stuffed up. Hopefully I will be able to stop and meet one of the other blogers I read as we pass through her hometown. Should be a blast. Finally bought a new hat too, I am just so picky about hats I finally found one I liked and was well made. Got about 100 more pics on the cards but no need for an uplink yet... Not like there is one here anyways. A town of 1000 people is great for relaxation but we are both ready to explore more I think. Have got no calls so I assume all is well at home.. Anyways, off to the big ice fields....

Well still in lake Louise. Today is a decompresionday with nothing really planed. We went and explored the "Shoping Mall" about 9 stores and we tried and could not kill more than an hour. So now we are going to wander up to the ski hill and maybe ride the gondola to the top. Cause it is there... Had a wonderfull dinner last night at a place were the dinners started at 90$.. sigh. But it was good food. Mom has been swimming alot but we are at like 7000 ft and you do get a tad tired. Espesially when you are a slug like me. I grabed some books and have been keeping myself quitly amused. Might I allso add the fems up here are amazing. I have been VERY good but every hotel clerk from Kamloops to here has been drop dead gorgous. Havnt ditched Mom yet, but was tempted a few times. heheh We are haveing a blast. Later on.

Well we are in the lovly and completly deserted and wierd town of Lake Louise. Fun place but nothing really to do. Got a dial up comp in the lobby but no way to dump more pics. But that is ok i should be fine till Toronto. Passed around through and over some amazing places today and had a wonderfull time on the "tour". We now have 2 nights and 2 allmost full days here. Would be fine but there is so far nothing to do but chuck rocks at the Jays. Still, it has a pool so Mom is in heaven. And net acess so I can at least look out and blog at only 1$ for 10 mins. Woohoo. Got a split kb though and it is driving me nuts. I will post tomarrow in theory. Might be going on a dog sled ride but it is $$$$$ and bank O Chuck is running low. So far I think Mom bought a stamp with her own cash rest has been me, as it should be

My god I took to many pictures. Like WAY to many. Been doing some browsing as I sit here for eternity waiting for them to upload.. Most suck. But some are interesting. We have went from basically rainforest and 40deg to semiarrid desert to 100 ft of snowfall a year in 2 days. It is nuts. Every 20 mins the climate changes. But I think taking 400 odd pics or some crazy # in the last few days was a few to many.. Sigh. Oh well, deal with it got 60 more on this card to upload then a allmost full 32 megr to upload. My god I am a shutterbug. At least most of them suck so bad it is gonna be easy to toss em. And before you make nasty comments about my photography remember that most of it is at 60 mph with a tiny little camera. And the through windows ones suck I think I have found. So I guess no more of them. And since mostly I will not have a private porch on the end of the train to take pics from anymore I guess the amount of pics takeing should slow down alot. All in all we are haveing a blast though great food. Wonderfull service, and being pampered nonstop.
So we have went through a few mountain ranges and we are over the cont devide now. Also we are one timezone closer (woohoo) but when next we start training east we will hit lots of plains and flat stuff. Should be a nice change now that we have went up and down nonstop. Ok well done uploading.. i brought the wrong Cf disk. Forgot I had just changed 32 megrs out and brought the one with only 6 pics on it.. So screw it.Next time.. i got the 360 off the 64's and that was what I was freaking aboiut...

Ok folks, NOW we have some pics.. I am uploading a CRAPLOAD like 360 ish or so. We are in Banff up in the middle of the Rockys. If you are brave enough to raom the pictures, enjoy. But be warned, most are crap. I took a crap load and if 1 in 10 is good we will be Jamming. It is snowing like an SOB outside up here so the view sucked most of the afternoon. But it was still a blast. The train was just wonderfull and we are haveing so much fun. So tomarrow we explore Banff and chill a bit before we are off to Lake Louise. When I get home I will weed out the chaff of the pictures and put the good ones up in a nice set with thumbnails.. Since I am once again stuck on a moronic PC from hell it is not gonna happen here. But hey I have an UPLINK.. WOOHOO.

But hey i have spent like 40-20 hrs a week for 4-5 months working on their house. So i guess good comes with bad. Not to mention at 11 there are not many words I can teach him at this point.

Wow. A great comment from Glen. Nice to hear his $.02. The scary part is that he is a daily reader and if he has these impressions then how many others of you do all so???So let me make it crystal clear for everyone. And before you automatically say he must have never said this to her, I have. I will do anything to be around and to help with the birth of my son. I will wear duct tape over my mouth and do nothing but clean and help and sleep on the floor. There is no change I am not willing to make to be a part of this miracle. Now the bad part is I do not call her because she has told me not to. I do not see her cause she has told me to stay away. She wants absolutely nothing at all to do with me. Period. And I am not even going down the road of us being a couple, she has well and truly killed that idea. But as of this moment I have not spoken to her for weeks because she refused to answer the phone for a week or respond to my email. So I had to eventually call her at work and I was told not to call or to contact. So I am not. I am not going to go against her wishes and become a pest or whatever so she can have grounds against me. So I am doing exactly as I am told and I hate it. I want very very much to be a part. I have spent the last week reading on how I can deal with my anger and distrust, cause eventually we are going to have contact, I hope at least. And right now I am so angry at her for denying me even the most simple of things, like information on how they are doing that I need to deal with it before the child is born. I never in my life would have expected her to treat me like this, or to toss away what we had. I have missed everything my son has done up to now. I have never felt him kick, or been reassured from the Dr. that all is well. And frankly I resent the HELL out of it, but I am working hard on getting over that so we can at least interact for the babies sake. I can understand how people can be confused, cause I am too. But she wants nothing to do with me. Period. That is why I need to see a lawyer and get a ball rolling because if this doesnt change I will not be allowed to see my son even. I am as of now not even invited for the birth, I have asked and she will not give me an answer. I do not even know if the due date has changed if she is having problems, or ANYTHING. All I know is what P Man was so cool as to pass along. Should we be talking face to face? YEA. But what do I do? She does not want to see me, at what point are you justified to bother a pregnant lady even if it is your child. If she does not want me there then there is nothing I can do. I am open to any and all suggestions, but I am not going to go against her wishes especially when I am being told via the grapevine that seeing me would endanger her and the baby. I think it is bunk but the point is, if she doesnt what can I do? Anyone have brilliant ideas I am open to them..

Christ if this gets any worse we are gonna have this be evidence in a wrongfull death suit.. Sigh. Doc I love ya like a brother, I mean this guy has literally given me the shirt off his back. But man when he gets moody he can be caustic enough to strip pain from 500 ft. And the p man has been my friend a long long time. he comes and goes from my life a bit but we have had some damn wierd times together. One of my clasics was being woken up with a skunk next to me and mumbleing "pet it like a cat, they are friendly". Of course the P man was 200 ft away and sprinting as I said it. heheh Not to mention the P man has a job where he gets paid to make people miserable all day. hehe and shoot em if they piss him off. Nuff said.
It all comes down to i would love to have P man on my side and helping my cause but D needs a friend more than I do.. And hey, unlike some people (d) I DO care. Ok i just posted that in a comment so now I am even repeating myself.. Cool huh?

So i am gonna try and watch it, after Grease of course. Sometimes you just have to enjoy an old time love story, and grease was a clasic. And now I go back to my reading. sigh.

I had a thought in the middle of the night. Ok follow along on this one. Regardless of the actuall fatcs, it is easily concievable that D THINKS that she needs to avoid me because of Braxton-Hicks contractions. She is a hypercondriact though just barly and that is only from my perspective. So she might very well believe she is doing the right thing. does that excuse tortureing me, not fucking likely

Things to find out about....I am NOT a medical Dr. Even though I have a diploma on my wall, it is not for medicne.. But I can read and i can search.. And I am.
Are Braxton-HicksContractions caused by stress..So far no stress tiein's found...
Are they bad for baby or mother... So far only if they lead to preterm delivery.
Can they be stoped. One article said walking around for a few minutes should stop them..
Do they hurt the baby. No so far everything says they are just a "getting things ready"
Do they hurt the mother. only in that they hurt at times.
Is this something a Dr would say as a reason to have no contact with me. So far not even 5% chance.I got more reading to do, but this looks like it is an excuse so far. Lots more reading. Doc come into your own here, start spouting. Try not to make it personal towards D though I does bug me. She is in theory at least the mother of my child so keep it clinical. Anyone else know anything about this? maybe i will call and get an apointment with a Baby Dr. and find out more. Could well be worht an hours consultation fee.

"And the Chaos god looked down and smiled."Not doing qoutes has been getting me constapated... Anyways, what a night.
Got some information from a friend today. And for you to understand I have to clarify that i believe completly that he believed everything he said. He would I am sure lie like a dog if the need occured but i very very strongly doubt he would lie to me about this. So I am takeing it as gospel. Now that does not mean the information is correct, but it does mean that he beileves in it. Anyways he tellls me that D is haveing Braxton-Hicks contractions. Ok for the layman, of which i am one don't get me wrong, it is like False labour but different. So that is why D has completly ingnored me for all this time because I add to her stress and stress is bad. Ok. This is in many ways good news. It would explain SOME (not a hell of alot, but some) of her actions. Been stewing on it for a few hours and thinking about how i feel about it. And well, i have decided i am really fucking pissed off. I am relieved that there is an explination, that part is great. But I am so so angry that she did not tell me and put me through this hell and torture for these months when it could all have been avoided so simply by telling me. i amm not the type of person who would then stress her out. i would have left like a shot and said can you update me as things go please I wont contact you at all. But the anger for her tortureing me is hard to see through. I am mad at her parents, it would have taken only 30 secs to tell me a WHY and my life would have been better. Ok Ok Ok so now I know. I guess that is something. But now we come to the truth of the information. And well it all comes down to do i trust her. I used to think without hesitation that i would but now I really do not know. Is this something she just pulled out of her ass to try and excuse her actions? Now since i first met her the one and probably only thing i would have changed about D if i could was she is a frigging hypercondract as is her mother. ok it is easily dealable with and I have coped with it. but to them a sniffle is the flu is the black plauge. So a large part of me is screaming inside that it is a trap. She has pulled some excuse out of her ass and is just useing it. but unfortunatly I do not know enough about it, or her current condition to do more than doubt her. So i have to accept it. So i accept it for now. So i am relieved that there is a reason she avoides me. great. But man am i mad. If we were married this would be ground for divorce (mental crulity) but we arnt. So what is the important thing. (and I am beating you all to it) the important thing is the Baby so i have to get over it. now. Ok fine but actually I don't. See she isnt contacting me so there is no need for me to pretend all is well. i can be hurt and pissed and let it work its way out of my system. And I really am pissed. I am angry for all the stuff I have missed and am missing. I am angry that no one cared enough about my feelings to tell me why I was being cast away. I am angry cause she has created a series of evens that I have to be not angry about it. Seriously, how the hell can I be angry. If it is true and stress is the worst thing then me callign and telling her what a spinless unthinking and uncareing weasel i think she is right now is not a good idea. So i have to eat it and smile. And most of all I am just so mad she didnt care enough to stop me from going through all this torment. No matter what, and if true this will make things alot better tween us, I for one will never trust her again. i just can't. Civilised people do not do this to people they care for just to see if they will in fact explode.
Ok well at least there is an explination. But she better have a Dr's signiture over a diagnosis. Cause I am going to relax and belive what i am told that there is going to be no problem with me seeing the child but her leash is very short. If it strays even slightly next time I will be going after declareing her unfit. No one sane does this crap. if there is a medical reason fine, but if she crosses this line again I hope she can document it.Wow i am upset. Why is relief so fast to turn to anger? Ok well i am workign hard again this weekend. Hopefully the net will not be down like last weekend, but if I do not post that is why.....

posted by Chuck Pierce 9:41 PM 16 comments
Well.
Time goes on and nothing has changed. Except of course my resentment. Dawn and I are going to have to spend the next 18 years at a minimum in contact. So why is she ignoring me. Who is she getting advice from that says acting like I do not exist is a good idea? Or if it is all by herself how does she possibly justify removing me from her consciences. Every day I resent a little bit more not being a part. Does she think I will ever forgive her for not allowing me to feel my son kicking? Or even to know if he is or not. And I guess the most important thing is how do I get over my anger and resentment when the time comes that I have to deal with her and not allow it to effect the baby. I have been being a good father to be and taking books out of the library and reading and trying to figure out how so solve this problem. And I have not yet found a way. Even if she wants no part of my life she still is wrong to not say so and included me in the baby??s life to be. Will this all change some day, I can only hope. I keep thinking what did I do that made her hate me so much that she would use the baby against me like she is. And the answer for that is of course that it isn??t me. But boy is that hard to accept at 3 am when you are staring at the ceiling. So where do I go from here. I have been slack on the lawyer issue, I know. But it is very hard for me. I just really really hate having to involve the courts and crap just to find out how she is doing. I am as anyone who really knows me very hard to anger, I get logical instead of mad, yet an other wonderful trait I have from Dad. But I am mad, and disappointed. Why are her parents not contacting me, why does everyone act like I am dead? I am here, and I want to be a part. But all I get is silence. I am just so scared of going any farther to contact her or them, I want to be positive that I can always say I never even came close to harassing or being a bother. Yet not doing anything is killing me slowly. I really am open to any ideas. What do you say to someone who tells you that their consulor has said they should not talk to me? And why would one ever say that? I have never met the person or talked to them so why would they say that without at least meeting me. It took me a long time to get over the fact she did not want me to be a part of her life. Ok. But that being said how do I get over that she wants to pretend I do not exist. According to the State of Maine??If there is no outstanding court order, the father and the mother are the joint natural guardians of the minor child and are jointly entitled to the care, custody and control of their children. Neither parent has rights superior to the other. 19-A M.R.S.A. § 1651. ??
Ok so I guess I am just dog meat till she has it then I sorta count. That and a $.25 will almost buy you a cup of coffee

Ok so she got some facts wrong and i actualy am not wrong, there is no way she could know it. Wow I am bableing this morning arnt I. So I guess i shoudld just go to work. And damn this shift key..

I think it is about time I did a major recap on the past year. Afraid it wont be tonite though. it is FASINATING to write down the way I remember things happened and then reread the Blog as they did. It is incredable the way we (read as I) distort history in small ways.
Anyways, Go Black Bears... Good game to watch too.

"You can read?"God people suck. last 2 days like 3 people have made wise ass comments about my amuseing spelling and creative punctuation. Hey, Kiss my ass. Some things I do for a reason, and if you are to dense to figure it out then screw ya. So, long weekend comeing up, such fun. Got out 5 books from the lib yesterday. 2 travel books that are dull as hell. And 2 parental rights and how to deal with an ex spouse books. 5$ says those are gonna SUCK but what the hell waht can I do but hopefully learn something. Was a royal pain to get the card, Finally had to come home and cut off a box top with my name and address on it to prove I lived there. Was a pain cept the Lib is like 1/4 mile away. So doing the morning stuff then heading up n for 24 hrs then going to work on the house.

Well in honor of the day i am doing nothing. Today is of course the 1 year aniversarary of when my life officially went to shit. XGF called and we chatted for a few mins about it. Been a year, unreal. There were times when I thought I would never make it. I still miss my dogs alot, more than I can express. But the anger for the XGf has mostly turned to sorrow now I guess. We had an OK thing going. it was not perfect but we muddled along. Till she let her daughter screw it all up/ Oh well spilled milk and all that. Sad thing is even as unhappy a year as I have had she is suffering much more I think. Ok well llife does go on.

Ok well red letter day in a few ways. I stoped and saw Pine Tree legal. They told me to get stuffed (after asking me repeatedly about domestic abuse... hmm I keept wanting to say yea she abused me by kicking me out) But gave me an other idea of someone who would do it.. maybe...
Also jazzed cause i FINALLY found a Pepper mill. Not a big ticket item, but I was going nuts.. Passed a kitchen store in the old port and SLAMED on the breaks and grabbed one quick. i have been looking for a rediculous amount of time for one. like a year.. Nuts huh.What else, oh i am gonna attempt to find the city library today and get a card and all that... I want to read a few books on Parental rights...

wow was roaming wierd ass sites and I found this disclaimer.. Absolutly perfect for me... So in the tradition of the internet, I am gonna steal it.. hehehIf I didn't give you the URL to my web site, chances are good I didn't want you to find it. Having said that, please be aware that this is my web site. As such, it's filled with all sorts of things that I'm feeling, thinking, doing and being. It's not about you, even when I'm talking about you.
I know that I can't force you to stop reading - that's your decision. But if you see something here that you don't like, well, that's just too bad. If I wanted to write fictional accounts of my life and who I am I'd be a novelist and not a journalist.
You've been warned.

"Walk softly and carry a big lawyer"well got some sleep last night finally. I guess i have finally decided to just do it. I KNOW I need to get a lawyer, and I KNOW she is not gonna be sane soon. But god i hate it so much. Once i get a lawyer and start this there is no stoping. And damn this shift key..So I guess today I will go do the dirty deed. Why is it that something thats should make me so happy (haveing a kid) is so painfull. Sigh he says in stereo....
