Sheesh. After almost 2 months of ignoring most of my emails, my very own personal dork finally comes out of his shell. In the space of 15 minutes, he sent me 5 emails. DORK!

He is pi$$ed because DD sent him 2 more hate mails. And he thinks I let her read some of our emails. Well, he is somewhat right. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

I was at work today and DD had a project that she needed to use my computer for. And, stupid me, I left my emails accessible. I didn't lock it up. I usually do, but her computer isn't working. She snooped.

Well, she blasted him so hard, I think that the blast shook his ship. Darn near burnt my eyes out when I saw what she said to him. Let's just say that she let him have it with both barrels. So, he proceeds to blast me about "sharing" our personal emails.

Brother, who does he think I am? I would never manipulate her. I can fight my own battles. And I have kept her as far away as I can from this without lying to her. That I will not do. Her WF lied to her.

I will not do the same thing and she knows that. Anway. Then he sends another responding to a response I sent. Same fog talk. Same issues that were always non-issues with me or were things I was never told about. Now I have to be a mind-reader? I am good but not that good!

And a few others.

THen he sent me the last one. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

What a DORK! Actually, I had to laugh! What a 5 year old.

It was the email from September saying that I would be coming back to his city because he had asked me to and because I understood how lonely he was.

His response you ask? Two words. STAY THERE!

I was very nice. No LBing. At least I don't think so. I said,

"That is a really old email. We have moved way past that. Any decisions that I make now have to do with what is best for Chrysta. You and I come last in this equation.

You are making me smile though. A LOT! Thanks, I needed that. For months I have been sending you emails and you have ignored them all. And you are finally answering them. Good for you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS. Have you got to the email about the ship tour? Since you haven't come up with a family plan, that is a simple option.

See you Thursday or Friday on the jetty. The Fleet Coordinator is getting us a pass to meet you there. "


So, did I LB? I truly do appreciate that he had finally stopped avoiding my emails. Boy, is he angry. THat I can handle. It is the avoidance and the silence that was freaking me out. This is far better.

Yikes! Enough already. He hasn't stopped with the emails. What the heck does he think he is doing? He has decided to rehash each and everyone.
Too late. Too old. Boring. Been there. Done that waiting thing. Didn't answer or respond when I needed it. I will not engage any further in his childish behaviour. YOu'd think he was a pouty spoiled kid. BLECH <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

His actions make him look foolish, eh? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

U get to sit back and just watch. He will blame you for making him feel foolish but the more quite you are the louder he will sound and the more foolish he will sound.

I am trying sooo hard not to LB. I am trying to not react. I am trying to stay quiet. Not always succeeding. But enough to get him worried as he doesn't know what to expect. GOOD! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I really really really want to use a REAL 2X4. His nickname is Hammerhead because he is so hard-headed. And being tall, he cracks his head all the time on the ship. His mates keep telling him to stop using his head as a Hammer! I think that might be why he would need a real 2X4 to get him to WAKE UP. But I won't. That fantasy keeps me going right now, though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Well, I am still up. Exhausted wth getting ready for our garage sale. I know I have to make a CLEAN SWEEP. I love that show.

But it is so hard getting rid of our treasures. Sigh. <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> Hanging on to them just makes this even harder when I look at the stuff we got together. And keeping busy keeps me from freaking out. And I know in the long run, it will make the move easier with less stuff. I am dragging my feet, though. It is so painful to go through boxes of memories.

Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

I just wanted to say I love the email you sent him regarding his replying to an old email you had sent.

I don't think it was an LB at all. I loved it. Wish I could reply with something that cute when someone is pushing my buttons!

Keep it up!

As for the garage sale I know exactly what you mean, I have been hanging on to old boxes of junk that my parents had been hanging on to and I took from their house when they died. It's nothing but junk. yeeks!

Thanks, Weaver. I was quite proud of my reponse, too. While I really, really wanted to flame him, I held back. Yay me! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Did you see my invitation to a Whine & Pity Party? Please come.

It is VERY early in the morning here on the west coast so I am sorting through some more boxes. And I know how you feel about old boxes. My FIL died 10 years ago and I have some of his stuff, too. Mostly junk. But so many memories attached.

And then there are the pictures! My hobby is genealogy and I have thousands of pics. Back almost a century. Family is sooo important to me. OMG! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> I can't bear to look at them right now. I have even taken our wedding pictures off the wall. It is a stab in the heart every time I walk by.
