I think we picked the right person as head of IT in Idiotville.

They just picked the Idiot of the Week last night, but I think I would either qualify for an emergency vote, or at least a gratis honorable mention.
I still can't believe I did that.

It's all good, Neak. Now you don't have to worry all of the time about sending it, since you already did.

Thank you for trying to look on the bright side with me.
I know it won't matter in the long run, at least I hope not, but it's still such a SURPRISE!!!!! at this point.
Not that it matters, but what would your recommendation have been about telling her she was blocked?

I think it is fine that she knows she is blocked. I think it is excellent that you are putting her out of your life. I have a tiny bit of worry that she may be so furious that she tries to contact your husband though.

I am about 99.9999999999% sure she will. I just came back from sending him a message warning him of my boo boo.
We'll see how good a prophet I am, but I think that gloves come off at this point, that she hunts him down and sends me the most hurtful thing she can possibly concoct. I hope I am wrong.

LOL, well Neak I guess it is officially out of your hands eh? Don't fret. Just tell AJ what happened, block her email and get on with your lovely and recovering M.

I sent him a couple TM's already, and he'll probably call when he can. He is doing terrorism suppression on a ship today. In fact, eventually he's going to email me some cool ship pictures to put on here.
I did just have to laugh at something - no matter how much of a shock this was to me, it will at least be a bigger one to her.
Ok, I'm going to drag myself from my security blankie here, and take out the tater tots before they look like my poor Chik Patties.
Deep breaths.

The kids will be having Tater Crisps for lunch, but the Chik Patties were still worse.
I do not believe in coincidences. The attorney's office just called to let me know the letter they were sending to her is being mailed out today. They have had my request for a couple of weeks. So it is all converging, just in a different way than I expected.
A few more sips of the very sweet hot mint tea prepared for me by my lovely son, and I will almost feel normal again.

AJ took it very well, better than I did. Now I feel much, much better. I can even hope that we will both end up feeling only relief that it was over with so quickly.
Whew!

Just think............ if there is anything you need to do now that it's sent. IF there is, then do it. If not, then don't worry about it.
God always helps us make the best of things (when we have faith and pay attention to him.) He'll do that with this too, you know he will.
Hi SS. How's your weather? Wind from south south east at 4 mph. 43 deg high clouds, humidity at 25% Barometer 30.09 and falling Visibility at about 10 miles
So, it's about average for Dec 15th. You wear a coat early moring, and at night, but mid day a long sleeved shirt on top of everything is fine.
Just so you know, the building I work in has a water leak in the main line coming in (bubbling up in the parking lot) so the water is shut off. That means the bathrooms don't flush. This too shall pass.
I suppose I can always go out to the end of the parking lot - but the ladies - poor ladies.
I was a scout master too long, it warped my thinking.
I never did hear T&L say how she is doing. I know she will be fine in the long run, but I worry. Stress is a killer. Maybe it won't take her life, but it will kill her joy, and ability to love life. It makes one tired.
All of you know what I mean - you have lived with it too.
Neak, you can see an end to yours. AW, how about you? Neak sis probably dreams. I hope she does. I think it would be good for her to do so.
Sometimes death looks good, but we wouldn't want to end our test prematurely. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Neak, you can see an end, can't you?
SS
I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

I do see an end. Our heater got fixed this morning, our lawsuit is ready to go as soon as I get them one last piece of information, the house is still pretty clean (though I haven't made much headway with the dishes), AJ is on his way home after a good day's work and will be happy to see us; it doesn't get much better than that.
Just about all the catch-up to be done after today's kerfuffle is already done. I printed up the list that I was going to attach to the email when I sent it, got it all in an envelope ready to go, and that's about it. Neaksis was supposed to come and pick it up, but must have forgotten. (Until Dad gets something else to drive, I am without a car.) But it will just have to keep until tomorrow morning.
For the next week or two I will look over my shoulder just a little more carefully, but the end is so near I can taste it. (And it tastes good.)
AW has an end in sight, but it's next Christmas, poor girl. We can all take turns holding her hand and keeping her company until then.
I am very happy right now.

That means the bathrooms don't flush. This too shall pass. I'm not sure it's such a blessing if things can still "pass" but nothing will flush! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Sometimes death looks good, but we wouldn't want to end our test prematurely. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Oh, yes, we would! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Speak for yourself! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> I'm developing a nasty head cold, so I feel like overstuffed rutabaga, but other than that everything is still the same. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Thanks for asking. And Neak, I guess it's too late to tell you that it should be "you and me," not "you and I," isn't it? Not that I think Gargamel's main concern will be analyzing your grammar. Or gramper, either! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> t&l

Oh Ho, You got me again T&L.
Believer, you sound so good now days. Are things really that nice, or is it just your great attitude?
Sweet dreams everyone. Except T&L. It could get her fired.

Neak
darn fine job.
I think even without B's advice it was ok. Simple direct, to the point and no more than the facts.
With B's suggestions even more business like.
good good good its nearly over <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.
