No I haven't asked him his heritage TT, but he was born and raised in Green Bay.
I am going to Green Bay for 5 glorious days Memorial weekend, so I will find out all the things JJ has been speaking of.
He spends a lot of time in New Orleans, his favorite place in the U.S.(tried desperately to be involved in the re-building efforts but without luck as NO wants to keep it local), and he is a bit crazy...maybe it is because he is from Green Bay (NE?).
JJ, you are making it sound like the coolest place in the world, Wisconsin. I am so excited to go to Green Bay, I can't even tell you... You'd think I was going to Africa or something. LOL
KY, put some cotton in those delicate ears, would ya?

Sounds like a great guy... ...except for the bleu cheese! (ol' 2long gags when people put the bleu cheese spoon in the ranch dressing at the cafeteria at work).
"We actually both said in simulaneous emails that we felt like we had grown up together somewhere, somehow...like childhood best friends that never met.
That makes no sense Kimmy. I'm going to get off of the subject now. "
Makes perfect sense 2 me... ...and yes, I agree with Kimmy - you're positively GUSHING.
Ever see the movie "Made in Heaven", with Timothy Hutton and Kelly McGillis?

Don't recall seeing that movie 2Long, but I'll be looking out for it now. I'm glad it makes sense to you, what I said. Maybe those of you who married, had the same feelings and that is why you married. I certainly hope so, because it is a really good feeling...calm, peaceful, and exciting too, ...almost like going home. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I talked to Faith via email a couple of times today, and she said she needs to detach from here for a while.
I won't say she sounds fine, but I will say she will be fine.
We need to pray and/or send as much positive energy her way as we can, for her as well as for her marriage.

Thanks Weaver,
We'll send all the positive energy we can - prayers included.
Thanks for the update on yourself too. What happy thoughts.

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

I know, isn't it wonderful? I read JJ's posts to him regarding Green Bay and he was just tickled pink because he didn't know all that about the different accents and heritages. He is from the west side, was raised Lutheran, mother is of Danish origin, and father of German. He doesn't understand the whole forum thing, and can't type or I would get him here. He loves people and socializing., so I share as much as I can with him about everyone here. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm depressed. Tequila marshmallows, please...
When I was a teenager, I thought about changing my name.
I liked "Khedron" from Arthur Clarke's "City and the Stars",
and
"Seth" from Eric Frank Russell's "The Great Explosion."
of course, Seth isn't that uncommon. I thought Clarke had made up Khedron, but apparently it's a real name, 2.
...beer will do.

Here. It's a little slushy. I like 'em that way.
I need a book.
I'm not picky.....wait....I'm lying....I AM picky.....
I'm in the mood for McCaffrey.
I need to be somewhere else.
If'n you don't read I'ville, court 2day. The judge gave her more time with the kids...but there will be a home study....and mija has lice AGAIN.
2Long....sorry your d-pressed.
I thought Kelvin was a great name for a boy-child. Got it from Anthony/Margroff's Kelvin of Rud series. The Wookie hated it, tho.

Get the movie "Pollyanna" and watch it, then find something to be glad about.

then find something to be glad about.
really - Be glad that you are doing everything in your power to save your marriage. Be glad that you are you, and that you have such fine kids, good friends, and a wife you love, regardless of her level of involvement. You can love 2long, not everyone can. How sad is that? Oh shoot, I just realized that your sadness is for your wife, and not youself. You're sad because you know you are going to go if she doesn't get on board soon. That's it, isn't it? That's hard.

weaver: Yep. Problem is that I realized that I don't want 2 save my marriage. I just think it's right 2 try. Yes, I am sad not only because of the timing of things, but because I don't think she will get on board anytime soon. Maybe not for years. That will be 2long, anymore. Kimmy: "The Great Explosion" is a quick read, and very funny sci-fi. You can download the whole book here: http://tmh.floonet.net/books/tge/tgetoc.htmlMaybe I'll read it again when I have time. I need a good laugh. -ol' 2long

Kimmy,
Have you read any of the Diskworld books by Terry Pratchett? I devour them like drunken marshmallows.
Mostly fantasy with a liberal a dose of soft SF (Science Fiction to you dirty minded.)
There are over a dozen of them out now. Start at the beginning. They read like a twelve course meal.

2,
"Problem is that I realized that I don't want 2 save my marriage. I just think it's right 2 try."
I sure do identify, empathize, appreciate and understand.
But it's been much better here lately.

I just wanted to pop and steal a marshmallow or two and say "hi". I am enjoying my break. Y'all are the best friends! Truly sweet things you said and I appreciate it. I know it was confusing when I left. I felt like I was being judged for being Jen's friend and didn't want to bring that judgement on the good people here. I also felt my credibility as a poster was being questioned..all my issue I understand. The break is good though cuz I really need to focus and wrap my head around what recovery is and if we really are in it. I will be back soon.
{{}} to all of you, especially you 2long who I see is making some very tough decisions.
