I'd pay you $200 or $300 an hour missy. And you know I'm not kidding.

Heck, I owe you at least 5k in back payments! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Hmm, maybe if I threaten to fly out there you'd make the phone call or whatever you need to do. Don't make it me do it! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Hugs to you and yours. We all ([H] and parents) miss you, but me the most.

Love ya!
Deb

My dear and beautiful Deb & u 2 [H], <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

U 2 are welcome to swim the pacific out here anytime. Even will give up my masterbedroom which has it's own entrance and private bath. LOL!!! H wants to get a house where we can have a guest cottage. Yea right, like I want to spend my weekends making breakfast for more people. LOL!! Friends ok but not relatives or strangers. Did I say that right??!?!?! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Just kidding. I have some nice realatives and some not so nice ones. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Doesn't everyone? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Anywho, give your parents a hug for me and I will work on that call. Just started working so maybe I can even send a care package or 2. Found better cookies here. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Aloha,

Well ?

You started training yet ?

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Does thinking about it count? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Trying to put my priorities back in order. These 15 hour days (that's the average) are beginning to get to me. I can handle it but my family is suffering. They now have to do housework and make their own dinner. Of course I still do all the shopping, laundry, bills and coordinate all the cleaning etc. but just the mere fact that they are having to pitch in and help more has it's pros and cons. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I also owe another MBer some write ups on that book we are suppose t/b collaborating on so my guilt machine is starting to go up and up, ya know?!?!?! Can't very well be studying with all that guilt hanging around. LOL!!!

R those excuses working? If not, I will try to think of a few more. I certainly appreciate your support and btw, your posts have been very helpful.

Your experience was a real eye opener. Thanks for sharing. It is certainly sad to hear about such things going to the extreme but it certainly can and does.

take care,
L.

Have you SEEN that every new BS on here needs coaching or MC ? Can you IMAGINE being trained as WELL as naturally skilled and experienced in personally helping them through this most traumatic time?

Can you imagine their gratitiude or your sense of pride as you see in your wake tens of recovery people and recovered marriages ?

Can you SEE how theres only one Penny Tupy practice and one Harley practice ?

Not that I'm selling or anything.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

...wait, gotta get on my bi-focals. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Yes, I do see al the new ones. They come in waves. Like when I started, there were so many of us, the older posters got tired real fast. Seems like our group were quite the challengers and debated even after the 'cows came home'. LOL!!!!

I do see that you are able to help many also. I certainly need a job backup plan but there are not enough hours in a day. Give me a bit more to get aclimated to this job so that I can do it with my eyes closed. Oops.... I mean find better ways to get the same work done more efficiently.

My boss checked out his office with some lady who is into numerology and fung-sei (sp???). Anyway one of the things she told him about me is that I don't belong in the 'numbers business' instead w/b better as a 'nurse'. I laughed and told my boss, I don't think I would make a good nurse. Not much patience if the patient gets stubborn. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> On the other hand, I am content being given work, put in a corner and then left alone. Crunching numbers makes one that way, I guess. LOL!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I think my real niche is problem solving. So your coaching suggestion may work. I will certainly keep that goal ahead of me.

Anybody ever tell you that you are one persistent bloke? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
