Agnes, what a surprise! Welcome and Happy Birthday. Are you old enough to drink now? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

This feels like I went on a vacation and met my good friends there by surprise. Too bad it is under these circumstances.

mad:dad, if I am a punk what would that make you??? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Hopeful,

Wow! Good news! It may still be a little bumpy, but at least you're on the right road. I kept thinking he might come around.

MTB,

I missed the fracas, but got the edited version from OK.now. I soooooooo wish I had been lurking when all that went down! Sounds like you did just fine.

I've been lurking over at survivinginfidelity.com a bit too, but I feel a little lost without affairs-help. I guess when you look at something 3 or 4 times a day for 14 months, you get into a habit.

I miss everyone and hope all is well.

(oh, and MD, funny trick with the undies--glad to hear you guys are, um, frolicking . . .)

3-4 times a day? I thought I was the only one addicted to these forums! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Awwwww...thanks guys!

Yes, UC I'm old enough to drink now! Actually, I'm old enough now that I find myself looking at teenagers and saying, "what's with kids these days... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> "

MD -- Thanks for the song! Are the "cha cha cha's" a remnant of the striptease, perhaps? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Hopeful...I know I told you this already but I just want to say I'm SO happy for you...and I hope now you and H can REALLY celebrate X-mas.

UB -- Waiting on an update anytime now!!!

Hey Libby...we posted at the same time. Unfortunately we can't be immature coz it's a work night BUT we are going to a romantic restaurant (hope the rain stops!) We'll have to do something immature on saturday! Hope you're doing okay...post when you're ready...take care of you!

Hi everyone!

I feel like I've joined a reunion!

Anyway -- Way to go MD! Can't wait to hear your news UB (or HH)! Happy Birthday Agnes!

Look forward to communicating with you guys soon again with the website's back up! (I agree with you guys -- I love this site, and am definitely a MB believer but this board is so busy that it's a bit overwhelming.)

Talk you guys soon, Patty

Rats! was trying to send a real cute birthday graphic, but just can't seem to get it to work.

Hopeful: I am very happy for you. It may be a long journey, but you are finally headed in the right direction!! yippee!

If we don't get our site back, I'm going to post soon cause I got some issues to vent and questions to ask. (What if it never comes back? <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" />

Gotta work now, but leaving early and can post from home.

Glad we all found each other! (Hope the MB people don't mind the hijack)

**Welcome** to all of you hi-jackers !!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

You ALL are more than welcome to stay .... I don't believe it's against the law to form friendships on two different forums!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

I was part of a migration from another board as well ... and once the other board became "OK" ... many went back to the other board ... but, I find this place to be "spongeworthy".

Welcome to ALL .... including FOWs or FOMs or former anything else ... or even current anything else .... homo sapiens welcome here! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Pepper <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

Neuse! Patty! Wow! this is great! I'm glad everyones finding their way here,and with good news.

Actually I didn't do my striptease to cha cha cha.Everytime I removed a layer I broke out into the peanut butter & jelly dance.First layer was my Scooby Doo boxers,Second was my polka dotted boxers,third was my happy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> face briefs and the final layer was very skimpy almost like a G string for guys. I had to wrestle her for those she went <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> mad and tried to rip them off my backside.I put up a good fight though, however in the end they were slung across the room,when I could no longer hang on.I feel so violated <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Hi all Its nice to see you all here.

UB/HH - great news!!!

MAD : DAD - The "Peanut & jelly" song, that's too funny. You said you danced but gee whiz, I thought you meant walzing or something. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> It's nice to know you and your W had a great time.

Level:

Yes, the promotion comes with very mixed feelings. I don't think my boss has any motives - except to make $$$. Unfortunately I cannot just quit my job. I signed a contract - if I broke the contract it would be the end of my professional career.

So anyways, I can say that I got a “B” on the “test” last night. I am still working on boundaries. xMM and I talked alot - thats all, but at the same time it does cross boundaries. I will have to devote a lot of thought on how to handle this in the future.

Yes, I am looking forward to closing 2002 and I am looking forward to opening a new chapter in 2003. Like most of you, it been one h*ll of a year. The stress of this past year months has been tough.

I found a new counselor, who has worked with individuals in long term A’s, I like her and her approach. So I start seeing her in January.

Hopefull/maplesirup: Congrats, congrats.

By the way gang, I am sure glad I found some of you here; I don’t think I would have made it through this far without your support. THANKS!!!!!!

Take care all.

Thanks for the welcome Pepper! Looks like we may be shacking up here for a while since the lights are still out at AH. So, I went ahead and posted my update and issues as a new topic. Can't believe it's already inching its way down the list and I just posted. Gotta move fast here!

Hey guys,

UB (The Unbreakable One -- I like that) -- I'm so happy for you. What a relief! Now you can start REALLY rebuilding. Way to go! I guess "Decided" finally decided. I'm really glad he made the right decision.

Hopeful -- God, congrats to you too! Maybe the Xmas spirit (if you celebrate that) is really getting into these guys. That's wonderful news.

Glad to "see" the rest of you guys.

Patty
