Thanks.

Ok I'll ask him when he gets home if he'd like to go out tonight. If he says no, I'll ask what he'd like me to make for dinner (he was supposed to make taquitos).

We *could* leave the kids w his mom overnight. I hate doing that...they don't keep my kids clean enough and they never get enough sleep. I'd have to see if he sent extra clothes. He packed their bag

Ok. I read alot of the articles I'll re-read. It's just a ton! Lol

We had a whole weekend in a secluded cabin in the mountains where we didnt even have cell service 2 weeks after no contact and it really helped. I knew he could not have contact because he was with me and no service. We played board games, sat in front of the fire, talked, went for long walks. That was the best thing we could have done to jump start our recovery.

That is a great idea!! You can just give them a bath when they come home.

"GPS", or Global Positioning System", is not really a good name for what is used on phones

"Cell tower triangulation" doesn't sell that well and well, you can figure out the rest

It's just a buzzword, and because some phones used to have "true" GPS years ago, the buzzword just morphed over for customer understanding and sales.

But on the subject of time spent together, it is very important that you do this, 20 hours a week, no distractions.

This relationship is in need of repair, and in time, you will wonder what in the world you would ever "want", to do other than spend time together

Your love life will be woken up, and revived, as you see the entrapments of complacency, being torn down.

Follow the program as well as you have the guidance from these posters, and you will succeed.

Prepare for the adventure of a lifetime, that your marrige has promised, and hold onto your hat

(scriptural reference)"How can two walk together, less they be agreed?"

Your babies are not going to die if they are not kept clean for one day. AND, they will just sleep better when they get home....MORE UA time for you guys.

I understand wanting the best for you children but unless they are abusive or mental, they raised him so they can handle it for alittle while.

Ditto!

I felt so weird setting that weekend up becuase we always had to "have something to do" on vacation. I never thought we could actually entertain each other for that long.

Now I KNOW BETTER.

Ok. Ill do it!

After FR he bought me a Disney world trip (I'm a Disney freak) and that was really nice.

I'd love 2 weeks seclusion but for now I'll take tonight.

It'd be so much easier to sound time together without kids.oh well! I'll make it work somehow.

Bravo!

Great idea! Don't worry about a little honest dirt and a little missed sleep. That's not going to hurt the kids.

It's good for kids to get a little dirty sometimes!

The Samsung Facinate HAS A REAL GPS RECEIVER! The problem is that it uses a lot of power. Plus in the privacy & location settings on an android phone, these can be set to keep private, this is why I told confused not to get too upset over the location reports she is getting from the spyware program. It will give a position accutate with a few meters, if it has a clear view of sats. Otherwise the Samsung Facinste will calculate it's locstion by triangulating cell tower signals, which CAN be as far off as 3.5 kilometers.

Ok. His battery life already sucks but I checked gps was on. I'll just play it by ear

No sweat. Most android phones have poor battery life. If he's already accustom to it, he won't notice it. Just don't get too upset with the location reports, as I already stated yhe Facinate had GPS issues when it first came out.

Keep up the good work.

I just had a light-bulb moment: if he was planning on making taquitos for dinner, he probably isn't sick but is beginning withdrawal.

The wine bar and dinner sounds like a perfectly lovely memory and antidote to withdrawal.

Hence the confusion, lol. Some do. some don't, some use triangulation as a backup.

I would just hate to depend on cell towers as a GPS for a cruise missle. The guidance systems on nuclear warheads though, they used to read the stars after they entered space.

On my Iphone3, there is an "App for that",program for GPS, and because my son is a saleman/manager for AT&T, I asked what was up with the inacuracy. He said they call it GPS, but it is really cell tower traingulation.

Wish they would differentiate the two, to me it is false advertising.

But I liken it to "four wheel drive" on cars. The customer knows the end product, and they don't have to be an engineer and build the car to drive one, and the strength and versatility of the four wheel drive on thier vehicle, probably will never be known by them.

Same goes for most technology we take for granted.

Yea he just said he didn't want to go out to crowds...I asked about dinner he said "that sounds really good actually"

Gentlemen, I am totally impressed with your knowledge of cell phone technology. But I would like to suggest that you get this info over to the Operation Investigate forum. It would be very valuable on a cell phone thread.

Ok, but I am no expert, but I can take a hint.
