(I had posted this once already but it disappeared).<P>After reading several bulletin boards on the internet about the island my H was going to, I was worried sick about him (see my earlier post today). He sent me an e-mail tonight informing me that he had been reassigned to Freeport. <P>He didn't say much except that it was a beautiful hotel, businesses under 4 feet of water, blah, blah, blah. Didn't tell me where he was staying or his room number. Just gave me his business and fax? number. I just replied with a brief message from our daughter. He said to keep the replies general? as it wasn't his computer. Now I feel like I'm just p-----g in the wind (sorry guys). He is probably calling home on his expense account to her! I'm not going to call him. A pox on him and her! Is it time for Plan B or what? As if he would care as long as he can speak to our daughter.

Scaredsilly....I hate to ask this, but here goes....do you think that your H is out there with OW? I'm only wondering because I don't understand why he won't let you know what room # he is in or the name of the hotel. Yet, he remembers to give you the phone number of the business and fax #. It doesn't make sense to me.

Or to keep your emails "general".<P>I think I would write him a long letter, about how sweet it was to let you know where he will be, how worried you will be about him, and how strong and wonderful he is ....<P>Because, if she is there and she reads it, it will make her madder than heck, and she can start doing all the lovebusting, while you are as beautiful as you are with your words.....<P>Just an idea!

He told me before he left that he would be alone. Maybe because I made some cracks (in an e-mail) about his need for a vacation, and to party, etc. She is a client so I don't think that she would be there. Especially for two months. We had been corresponding by e-mail for the past month anyways.

tnt, I'll consider your idea. But how can I write him a letter if I don't know where he is? If I send an e-mail like that, and it is a co-worker's computer, I'll feel like an idiot and he'll be annoyed.<P>I could call her company and ask for her though. Or call her home and see if I get the answering machine.

He said to keep the replies general....<P>So, you limit your conversation to what is the most important thing...<P>So what would you say to someone you love, who you don't know that you will see them again, because they are in a dangerous situation/life or death/heroic (think of the movies) - when you only get 25 words to say? <P>Of course, you are going to say the things that matter the most.<P>If she is the one with the puter, or even if it is a coworker who knows OW, I'd write to him all those things. <P>How he explains it on the other end is his problem! And she can do all the lovebusting... Y e s....<P>Find out what you can. Never hurts to have all the knowledge, as long as you know what you will use that knowledge for - and have the goal in mind.

Thanks TNT, you're great! How do you do those faces?<BR>I still remember your words to me in one of my earlier posts. Knowledge is power, you said. You're right. I will try and utilize it to reach my goal. On that note, I'm off to bed. Have carpet cleaners coming in the morning. God bless.
