Hey, me too weaver. Help? Me? Why would anybody do that?

I'm still shocked when people actually reach out IRL.

Most of the time you have to ask.

Gray, you've been awfully quiet lately. Are you okay, and just busy on your house?

SLH, I think he has put a very difficult deadline on himself because his parents are coming to help him with his windows. GC, if you take a break check in.

Oh, that's right. I'm sorry, I'd forgotten with everything else going on.

Hoping you are well, GC.

Thank you SLH.

No I have not been away a few days because I'm working too hard. Truth be told I've been idle on house things for a few days, and I've asked my parents to postpone their visit.

I'm tired, sad, ambivalent, and plagued.

I could go on, but it would be a broken record.

Right now what I've done for the last 16 months all seems a little foolish.

If some new person I liked gave two sh*ts about me, would any of this recent history bother me at all?

Dunno.

FF, I hope you're okay.

GC,

Sorry you're bummed. Don't know what to say.
"It will get better" sounds lame, but it will.

I think you need a rest from the house.

Why does the 16 months of work seem foolish? Are you going to be unable to keep the house?

I've gotta sleep now.

GC, perhaps AD is right and it is time to give yourself a rest. Is there a reason for your timeline? You need to refinance to buy the sparrow out or something like that? I wish I could give you a hand, I hate to see a wonderful person like you feel down. I can also guarentee you that the work you have put into your home is not a waste.

I am doing ok, just getting by day to day. Thank you for thinking of me during your own sorrow. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Just a quick update: My trip to see HoFS this weekend was fantasticker than anything I could have possibly imagined.

He's wonderful.

Just one image: Big man standing at the airport waiting. Jeans, black shirt, black cowboy hat. Looks a little like Bruce Willis.

Standing there grinning. With a big red cut-out heart in his hands. With my name written on it.


It got better from there. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Aaaaaaawwww, J. That brought tears to my eyes. Really.

GC, I don't know what to say, except. . . I'm sorry. Is this amplified by your lack of AD's?

I sure wish I could get back on mine ($).

FF, is W all better yet?

AD, hoping you are okay.

Really short on the details <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I am thinking this must mean you can see at least one future that works.

Tell us about the boys. Were they there?

Faithful, you are learning a lot about yourself. Before I could make my marriage better, I needed to learn I couldn't fix my W. Oh, she has a good side, but everyone has TWO sides. She has faults, she does, but nothing I could do could fix her. I determined to fix my faults and then and only then things started to fall into place.

That doesn't mean you should stay with him, but it tells you where to put your effort, and energy.

I know learning and growing don't take away the pain, I hope that goes down soon too.

Define OK. Does this mean emotionally OK too? You know what I mean - and why I ask.

Graycloud,
I don't think there is any cure for what you have. I believe it is terminal. I perdict you will be dead within 100 years - I am seldom wrong about these things.

Make the most of the time you have before you leave. The older you get, the quicker the time will pass.

(I know Weaver, I should have said "more quickly. I use bad grammer sometimes too.)

Gray, if it were me, I would probalby have a milkshake and think about it a little bit. Not too much though, it takes away from eating the shake. (if you have one you can drink, it's too thin.)

AD,
Do you ever take long vacations?
If you don't, I want to know why.

Weaver,
I'm impressed. Takes a lot to do that.
Thanks.
