They got it cleaned up at last, but the overpowering smell of too much Pine-sol is giving me a headache. How did I accomplish the miracle of getting them to clean up the table, chairs, floor, cupboards, and sink? I told them I would throw away the fingerpaint if they didn't.

They got it all clean. Rats!

HEY! And you didn't post a poem by Flard! He would really be ticked then if he knew it was posted for all to see! I await his beeeuutiful poetry. He hated doing it as a child. Actually, it was and is still a bad memory of Christmas time <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />I used to have several of his poems somewhere. Funny thing is, he made me PROMISE not to turn them in to the poetry authorities (you and Neaksis). If I find it, I PROMISE to turn it in.

And. The papers have been submitted to the court, officially, today. December 14, 2005. I think I would have strangled him if he did it on my birthday, or our anniversary, or any other major date for us (June 24, July 4, July 10, October 22, etcetcetcetcetc).

Hey, yourself! You'd better find those poems quick!

Well, I am on my last probation. Any more bleeding, and I just go in.

There are at least 2 years of his missing from my collection. And if he found out and got too squiffy about it, I'd just post it under his real name!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> So there!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Teach HIM to complain.

ok back after a long time of feeding and cleaning ...its 11.00pm ...what a working day!

Kiddies are well and restless being on school holidays .... DD is going to help by keeping Tom & Lisa with her during the day for the next week as she is out of Uni until Feb now. Shes a darling. They get so bored in the child care room with me even when I take them for long walks along the river and to the play ground.

We drove to the barracks to attend a presentation for Aussies unit after work. It was very nice without fan fare, quiet and only a honour guard of soldiers to represent the unit itself.

I still don't like the big rock in the middle of the parade ground.

It has a number of quotes inscribed around the base like this one ..

To those who fight, and bleed with me this day.
For those who die with me.
This nation, indeed all the world will not forget you.
What you do is you duty as you see it.
As a Soldier, as a Spartan, IT IS WHAT YOU DO.
The gods will remember.
I salute you all. May you all die well and loved by those you care for.

Attrib Meander Thermopolye 480 BC

Obviously written by a man!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Do you think they would get upset if I had it taken away?? oh well one can THINK about it.


anyway we went on into the city and looked at the Christmas lights and went up to Kings Park which over looks the city and viewed them from there ...lovely ..a full moon as well .. darn no Aussie to take advantage <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

City from Kings Park

Oh well hungry kids kept me busy. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Bring on poetry Flards as well!!!

It'd be a lot easier if it were something that could be smuggled away under your coat. Lot harder to do that with a monolith! No time for poems this morning. Home late, have to get up early so I can leave early since the whole area is socked in with fog. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Which reminds me, I had some more fog ponderings the last time I had to drive in it. No time to ponder them either. Hope the sun is shining where YOU are, everybody.

It's foggy here, too.

I was up from 3:30 to almost 5:30, because I was helping AJ get ready for work, and it took me almost an hour to get sleepy after he left.

It was especially noble since I am not getting paid in the currency to which I am accustomed. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Allrighty, I am ready for input on my NC4Me letter. With H-U-G-E effort, I managed to keep all spite out of it, and even unwelcomely large doses of truth. So help me out if something else still should be changed.

Quote
Gargamel,

There are several important items to cover. First, the final payment on my husband’s personal debt will be sent to you shortly after Christmas. The amount of $109.65 will cover the remainder, including the interest at a flat rate of 13%. An itemized list is attached. Also, when I asked AJ about the additional expenses that appeared as if they might be personal, he confirmed your belief that they were corporate instead.

The corporate attorney will be contacting you shortly with the response to your certified letter. The corporation owes a great deal of money besides the amount owed to you, and outstanding accounts payable will cover only about 1/7 of the total, if not less. The corporation is attempting to remain open for a short time to continue collection attempts that would help to soften the blow for its creditors. No representative of the corporation can make promises at this time of what might be able to be paid and to whom. Much depends on how much is collected, and how much is used in attorney fees in dealing with the legal aspects.

For the good of my family, I will no longer be handling the financial issues that relate to you. At any point when funds become available , whether in the form of a lump sum or a smaller amount at a time, and that are allocated to you, [thndrnltning]*(don't worry Mom, you shouldn't have anything worse to do than sign a few checks, and maybe IF she's being nice, email her to let her know they were sent)* will see that they are sent promptly.

With the legal personal obligation of my husband at an end upon the receipt of the last check, there is no further need of contact of any sort between you & I. As I said above, all further dealings between you and the corporation will be handled through other channels. Thus I will be blocking you from my email, just as AJ did at the time he chose to end the affair with you, and you will not be hearing from me again.

Sincerely,
Neak

I don't think I will last until the attorney actually sends his letter, since he is being so slow and I am not patient, but I think the way this is worded it wouldn't matter either way.

Ahhhh. I feel such a sense of accomplishment. I can't wait to send this, and have it all done.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!

I am such an Idiot!!!!!!

I was being all efficient and transferring the above letter into my email to save as a draft, so I don't have to have it on the computer. I am not wearing my reading glasses, and after I pasted it in I almost clicked SEND instead of SAVE. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I am eager to send it, but not quite that eager.

Gosh, I would leave out the for the good of your family part. Also the part about AJ ending his affair. I would treat it as business only. Don't think I would put AJ's name in there either, just refer to him as my husband.

You need her to know that she was just a tiny bump in the road of life.

Never mind, I think I am going to hyperventilate and die now.

I incorporated your excellent suggestions, and this time I did press send instead of save. HELP!!!!!!!! Except it's too late for help.

Must have been the right thing to do. Now batten down the hatches and expect some contact. She is not going to be happy about this little development.

Mama mia! I didn't want to put it off more than a couple more days, but I wanted to make sure all the i's were dotted and the t's crossed.

I just hurried up and made the list I said I would attach to that email, and will just mail it to her right now with the check that will make the total in the email correct.

I hope I'm making a little sense, but I'm still pretty rattled from getting things out of order. She was supposed to get the next-to-the-last pmt first, THEN the email.

Trying not to stress it too much, beyond this initial shock. You are right about everything you just said, and nothing happens by accident. For whatever reason, God must have wanted this to happen right now. Or at least I hope He will bring good out of my stupidity if it wasn't supposed to be like this!

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />, double <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />, and triple <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Now to warn poor AJ.
