JL's probably seen this one: A cosmologist I know had this sign on his office door:

"If you can see it, it ain't worth studying"

Wow Chackler, that was an interesting site. So we are having a blue moon tonight. Think I will check it out. Last night (here) the moon was beautiful.

I thought you were talking about cosmetology. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

No way believer, I was talking about space.

Although I LOVE Smashbox cosmetics!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

It was one of the good things my dad did for me, teach me about space. Oh man, it makes you feel very insignificant in the grand scheme of things, yet in God's eyes, we are significant. Think about it. He created everything from the quasars (sp) which are some of the furthest objects in space and then He created the littlest bugs, microscopic critters that we can't even see. It truly blow my minds...

The concept of the blue moon has an interesting "origin".

Well I'm going to look at the moon again tonight. And then I'm going fishing.

I had a great day today, went out to breakfast with the neighbors, and then fishing with my friend and son.

While I was fishing, a man stopped to chat and told us that after a full moon, the fishing isn't very good. He said the full moon makes it so light, that the fish eat all night.

Does that sound right?

Nice Harley. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> Can I admit this, I wouldn't know a Harley from a well, I can't even think of any other bike names LOL

Thanks, I'll e-mail you.

I was expecting some sort of bite over my TOTAL ignorance of bikes. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Kawasaki, Triumph - there I know a couple of names.

KiwiJ -

No, don't worry about not knowing about bikes. WH and I always wanted to go to Australia or New Zealand with our Harley. It is a dream of many American bikers. Didn't happen for us.

RAP - Where are you? BV is quite worried about you. Hope you will post soon.

Hi believer,

I should have emailed you already. Sorry! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

I feel like a mess right now. I don't really want to post all this mess inside, so I have been lurking. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I know I am making progress, but it's hard.

Oh well, I guess it shouldn't be easy, huh?

I am going to email ya so I can talk to BV.

Thanks,
RAP

PS> I knew you would be adorable. I love that picture of you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

RAP -

BV is doing fine. She went to church this morning, and the church as usual did not fall down. She is hard at work in her and Mr. BV's recovery.

I've tried to talk to her about coming back here, but she is still very hard on herself, and feels she has nothing to offer.

She does ask about you, NC, JL and all the other ladies here. Please feel free to join us on email chat.

Tell NC that his "Don't go there" is really working for me. In 14 days, I stopped thinking about WH at all. I am much more optimistic about a wonderful recovery - WITHOUT him.

Hey ladies - and sympathetic gents. Well, I had completely destressed about WH. Forgot all about him. Then today he called me at work, and said he wanted to talk to me after work.

I told him I really didn't want to talk to him. Nothing left to say.

After work, I decided to go shopping. As I turned into the shopping center, there he was, walking toward my house. He has to walk over to my house, because OW doesn't want him over here. So his truck can't be seen here (although he denies this).

So to make a long story short, we had our discussion. My side it that OW has never been out of the picture. I have 20 letters where he said she was gone, but she has always been right there.

There has been a day or two where they didn't see each other, but never more than that.

WH's side is that he loves me, and I have refused to take him back. He says she was gone, but I would never believe him. He says he always wanted to be married, and was sad to be alone. (After I found out that he was cheating and threw him out).

He says that OW cared about him and kept coming back to him.

Holy crap, at that point, I asked him to get out of my house. And as he was going out the door, I told him I am happy that they are together, they deserve each other.

So there goes the Proverbs31 woman again.

And one more thing (can you tell I'm ranting), WH said there has to be closure to this. We have to get divorced and then maybe get remarried. Does that make sense?

Or you either!

Especially since there's NO mention of where this OW fits into any of these so-called plans.

Sorry (just sitting here shaking my head).

Believer, just continue on your path of healing...alone if need be.
You've MORE then paid your dues... as well as time, hope and effort.

Unfortunately (for him), You can't stay stuck in Limbo Forever.

Your ready to move on.
He's been given his invitation to join you...over and over.
Sadly, he's about to miss the boat (plane, car, Harley, whatever).
He's NO ONE to blame but himself.
Yes, himself....not you.

When the Fog lasts this long, its time to stop blaming the weather...and move on to a different Climate.

I hear the climate in ________ is great year round.

Stay strong...& stay sane.

Thanks TopRope -

Both he and OW have rewritten their marriages. He told me last night that hers was in a shambles, so he didn't feel so guilty. I told WH to check out MB - they all say the same thing, but it is only to try to justify their new reality.

But of course he and OW will not read here at all. They are more into affairbuilding.
