Sending love and hugs your way DipiT.
Your post had tears streaming down my face.
You are a brilliant woman, I wish you the best of everything for your new journey in life.

There's a lesson in your post. I believe that you've learned much about yourself this past year. Thanks.

Jelly: T-day, yum. ... Does this mean you will be forgoing the daily ham sandwich, chips and pickle friday for a turkey sandwich, leftover cranberry sause and _____? (I'll let you fill in the blank since I'm not sure what turkey day traditions you may celebrate.)

You see RH, the sandwich really doesn't matter, it all revolves around the Deli chips, and the dill pickle, so I could actually have a turkey sandwich, as long as I get to have the chips and pickle with. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> I'm making the feast this year, we are having stragglers of the family join us along with my immediate family. I love to cook for crowds. What will you be having, perhaps goat??? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

No, we usually go to my aunt's (she's 70). She does the standard turkey, sweet corn, sweet potatoes, filling, mashed potatoes, some type of french green beans, rolls, cran berry sauce, cranberry salad, pumpkin pie, mince meat pie and ice cream.
Now when my dad was alive (we always had the Memorial Day picnic), he would roast up a lamb. The only meat my Aunt (his sister) would eat is beef, chicken and pork. He would occasionally swap goat or deer for the lamb and tell everyone it was lamb. It got to the point, where she would only eat ham (if it was pink in color). One time he put a bear ham on and told everyone it was ham (so my aunt would eat it). Of course, everyone loved my dads cooking and would eat it no matter what it was. (I'm not as adventurous as he was.)
One time he and my mom had party (we call them beer parties around here). And he got a friend to bring up a bushel of oysters from the shore. They roasted them up. And we were castrating pigs that day, so he did another dish...Rocky Mountain Oysters. They were gone in 5-10 minutes and people wanted more. Then he told someone what they were and there were about 3-5 people who went out and threw up and then everybody denied eating any. Of course, I knew what they were and refused to eat any.
Is that too gross for this thread? Sorry. Maybe it will help DipiT and Starz to take their minds off whatever it was that....

Evening all from Asia. SerendipiT, your post was far too sad for Idiotville. I hope you are able to embrace your new life and the challenges it presents. I am so sorry for your 10 yr old. I have such a sadness about how we, as parents, have let our children down. I tuned into Idiotville tonight for some light relief and got a harsh dose of reality instead. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

Good morning, idiots. Thanks for the hugs. I felt every one of them.
Well, today is a new day. I volunteered to prepare a huge mailout for IB yesterday while he was at the tailgate party and this a.m. got up to help sort them for the post office. Maybe that will earn me a point in the LB.
He is headed to the post office with a 'see you later" - no thank you, no nothing. He will mail those before he checks the po box for her love letter, sit and write her one back so she can pick it up without being seen talking to him, (he gave her a key) and then he will either meet her somewhere or sit in a parking lot and talk to her on the phone for an hour or two before she has to go to class.
I asked him if we could meet for lunch somewhere and he was noncommittal. Probably because he has other plans already. It is pouring down rain here and nasty wet. Oh, well. I have a dr's appt this a.m. and have to get out in this miserable rain. Maybe I should wear rubber boots. Hmmm......
{{{{DipiT}}}}
I am so sorry for your sadness. I am so afraid that everything I do will not be enough, also... so I think I know how you feel. I at least know that if it doesn't work for me, I will have done everything I can, and I will know that I tried until the very end. I, too, am sorry for all the things I did wrong (or didn't do at all) in the past, but I am living with the very real possibility that it is too late. I am seriously trying to follow the MB principles. It is all I know how to do. Be assured, DipiT, that God knows how hard you have tried. And remember, he has already forgiven you for any mistakes you made. The hardest part is to forgive yourself, I think. I am struggling with that, and probably always will. Starting today, try to forgive yourself, and it will be easier to start moving into the next portion of your life. God may have something wonderful in store for you. He will guide the way.
Hey, mayor, Green Bay stole that one from us. We deserved the win. Outplayed them the whole game, and then lost it on a last minute field goal. Of course, Green Bay is my second favorite team. If they hadn't been playing the Texans I would have been rooting for them. That Brett Favre is something else. What a guy.
Good morning Jelly - where were you yesterday?
Guess you were out living a real life somewhere??
Do you have kiddies this morning? How many do you keep?
Was going to go get all the goodies to cook for Thanksgiving today. But not in this weather. It's a frog strangler out there.
Hi to everybody else. YL, hope you are healing well. I always found with my abdominal surgeries that there was a massive turning point at the two week mark. That was when I started to feel human again. I know you're past that, so you must be beginning to feel pretty good. I hope so.
Well, don't mean to leave anyone out. Good morning, Idiotville. Let the games begin.

DD - you are not the failure. He is. Do not EVEN blame yourself for everything. Read my post above to DipiT and know it is meant for you, too. {{{DD}}}
Tummytuck - I am sorry I caused all the sadness on this thread this weekend. Please come back. We promise to lighten up, ok?? OK???
Did you hear the one about the drunk who fell in an open grave one night? The next morning he woke up in the bottom of the grave, climbed up to the edge, looked around and said, "Oh my gosh it's judgement day and I'm the first one up!!!"
Now that's optimism.

It's too sad on MB today. Just been reading that Mom23Boys has lost her dad and DipiT is getting divorced. Even you idiots can't cheer me up. I'm not sad for myself, in fact, I'm handling my life well but other people's sadness puts a weight on my shoulders. TT

I know what you mean about how this place sometimes brings you down reading about others problems. I know earlier in my recovery, I think I was like a hypochondriac in that I think I sometimes developed symptoms from threads that read on here.
It's just that sometimes it is eery how similiar things are. Hang in there and be thankful for what you still have (after all Thanksgiving is fast approaching).
Hey Mayor, how about some turkey links? (Are they anything like sausage links).
hahahaha, I crack myself up (not really, but I tried).

Lunch = leftover fried chicken, macaroni and cheese and crazy cake.
Anyone try that crazy cake recipe I posted a month or so ago? Yummy!
How about you Jelly? How does peanutbutter and Jelly go with chips and a dill pickle?
{{{{{Kimmy}}}}} Hang in there!

Mornin' Idiotville! This new med is kicking my a$$ and winning. Only problem, I got a 3 year old that I need to take care of. (And she was there when the doc RX'd me.) It's trazodone, listed as an AD, but, I should have known when the doc said, "It should help you sleep too." (He's an HO.) Anybody know anything about it? (I'm taking wellbutrin with it.) I'm remembering more dreams. Like last night: Had a dream we in Idiotville were competing with another thread here. {{{{{Dip}}}}} {{{{{Idiots}}}}} I am sooooo frigging tired, I don't think I can do more than two hugs today. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I give up Idiots. I'm a failure.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">((((WHACK))))Didn't think I'd ever have to use my nerf 2x4 here in Iville, but, there it was. De, YOU did not cause all of this. Choices made weren't YOURS. Keep your head up, girl. Talk to us. Pleeeeeease? Well, if you don't, just remember, just because you fail at a task, does not make you a failure. And if it's the M you're talking about? You didn't get you to this place you are now. Hiya tt--glad you checked in. Everyone....thanks again for all the support you give here. It really has helped!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> Have a great day everyone!

It's not de. You decided he was worth it and your M was worth it. You decided to give him "another chance." YOU did NOT decide to have an A. YOU did not decide to continue to cake-eat. I'm really hopin' Bob and RIF et al chime in. Keep your head up, de. YOU are a wonderful human being. It just so happens you're a woman too.

I stole this from a thread by TTSi... Got a laugh out of it so I wanted to bring it to Idiotville... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">To travel the world and crack the skulls of all the people who dare to get involved with a married person... We shall be called.... THE A-TEAM (Affair Team) "A crack morality unit was sent to prison by a corrupt military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a marriage problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team." I am B.A. Baracus (I pity the fool who gets involved with a married person!) Hurry! Positions are still opening for the team, But there is only so much room in the black van... We shall right the wrongs, we shall deal a crushing blow to those who think there is nothing morally wrong with an affair! ....and if you're involved in one, WE WILL FIND YOU!
