Kloe, I'm crate training him definitely. He's going to have to wait for the fence but I plan to do it as soon as I can afford to. I'd like a high wood privacy fence on the street side (live on a corner), which will cost me. Think I'll go with something more modest between the yards - don't want to put my neighbors or myself into a box.

I'm at the big camping weekend, having a pretty good time. Not drinking (doesn't mix with the ADs), which leaves me out of some of the craziness. Musicians drink like mad. Lots of music last night - I played a few myself, but after everybody was smashed I couldn't stay on board with the ridiculousness. It was a great time.

Maybe it's good to be here this weekend instead of obsessing constantly about tomorrow's meeting. I love this woman, even with all she's done to me (or is it despite me?). I see her and I don't see the things she's done, I see the woman I love trying to get out but stuck behind a wall of pride and anger. Whatever will be, will be. I'm looking forward to seeing her. Hope I don't make any errors.

I think you will do fine. Just be your upbeat, fun self.

I talked 2 WH a couple of times and said it was too bad we couldn't be together, we would have had it made. It seemed to defog him some. But he is still with OW.

But he did think about it. Talked about how we would have a good income, no worries, etc.

Gray - Good luck today, I am off to church and will say a prayer for you. Please let us know how it goes.

GC,

I think you have the right approach. And I think you are making the right assumptions about her tone. I, too, tend to mask my hurt with that hard, ball busting (he he), cold, business like attitude. Try to come off as intimidating as hell. Really crying inside like a little girl.

Good luck.

Well, I'm meeting her in two hrs. Just got back from the rip-roarin' weekend bachelor bash. I sang a song for the bride & groom last night and made the groom cry, the sweet [censored].

Gotta get myself cleaned up (dirrrrrty) and maybe relax with some good music for a little before I go. I'm not preparing for this one like I did the last. car4love told me she spent Friday evening with OM and he claims to not want to have anything further to do with the sparrow. We'll see. I was going to get her a little gift, considering that OM at least claims to be pulling away from her. I think I'll bring a little something and leave it in the car, give it to her only if it feels okay to do so.

Anybody has any last minute advice or pep talk I'd be much obliged. I'm going to be nervous, but I feel good about where I am. I just wish this was over, one way or another. If it doesn't go badly I am definitely telling her about "Dobro", or whatever his name will be.

Relax and be yourself. I know you will do just fine.

Remember, no R talk at all unless initiated by sparrow. NONE ZIP ZERO ZILCH

Just be her very best friend if she brings anything up. Validate her feelings, don't give her your opinion or try to fix anything. OMG, do NOT ask her to come back even if she is pondering where she will go. THAT IS HER PROBLEM, NOT YOURS, GRAY. Let her figure something out herself for a change, OK?

The object of the meeting is finacials right? Get everything ready and organized. I would make a list of what will be covered.

Slow and steady wins the race...
