Hi SS, read that you're having a date today... Have fun and enjoy it. I find I may be making progress. The convos in my mind are about divorce and life on my own. I'm not giving up hope yet, but I really doubt WH will have the courage to undo everything at this stage. Anyway, I've had a nice lazy day. No pressures. It's very hot here and supposed to get worse on the weekend. The dog is not happy. I think I'll take him for a swim tomorrow. Someday I'll go to USA and I'll expect all my MB friends to invite me to lunch! I don't have a favorite. I eat anything. I love to try out new stuff. So anything is good. By the way, I notice you ask t&l what HP does for a living, what do you do? (if you don't mind my asking <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />) Do you know where I live? I posted it once, but deleted it after a while.

CC, I never did read EXACTLY where you live, but I gather from comments you have made that it's probably a country in South America - perhaps one that goes way south?
Lazy days can be so nice sometimes. Good for you.
What SS does for a living?
I work in a camping equipment store. Tents, sleeping bags, Backpacks, coats, boots. Small company, I do advertising, web site work, vaccume the floor, order stuff....... and like that. I love the outdoors, so it goes well with my hobbies.
It's hot here too, in the summer. Not too cold in winter though, and I like that.

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

I alternate btween wanting to tease you, and then wondering if I should. Trust me, if I don't think it's funny, I don't laugh. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> My mother had a very good social "face." She didn't pass it along to me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I don't know. They keep putting us off. I'm getting worried by their foot-dragging, but since it's so late Friday, I'm resigned to nothing happening at least before next week. If they're going to say no, and we lose the house anyway, I've wasted probably close to $5,000 on septic plans, fees, a house payment, the current taxes...money which I probably could've found a place for if I'd looked really hard. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> That will annoy me as much as anything if they back out after all this rigamarole. Has HP ever commented on the moving idea? Certainly not. He has his reputation to uphold, you know! Do you know how cold it is in Wyoming, and Montana? I'll keep warm by burning all the old bills I don't have to pay any longer. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> If you do move to the frozen north, I might be able to visit in the summer, if you tell me which day it will be this year. Very funny. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> They probably can't even tell, especially if it lasts only one day! Believer....... if you moved to Mexico, where would you like to live? We're taking her to Montana with us, on this mythical trip. One more thing T&L - What does HP do for work? You must've skipped that page of the Saga. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> He designs custom trailer hitches for each year's new car models. He's been promoted, so he no longer works in the model shop building and testing the prototypes of each hitch; but today he flew to LA as the company representative, for a secret viewing of some new car model coming out next year, to take measurements, etc. so that when the car is ready, so will the appropriate hitch be as well. It's only a one-day trip and he's probably already back in Sacramento. Doesn't sound like fun to me, but then, I don't have to do it myself. t&l

Hiya 2long,
It's 63 and clear. High clouds way off to the south over where AD and I visited.
You get enough free time over the holiday? I saw an add for the running gear for a model T and thought of you. They only wanted abotu 6 grand for it. Is that good?

Isn't it lovely here today, 2long? It is almost surreal being outside today.
SS, I would love to go visit where you and AD went. I still think of those pics you shared.

It's good if you're the seller!
Model As and Ts are holding steady, because all the "kids" are restoring muscle cars and wind-cooled VWs.
I asked, and it looks like my Model A will cost upwards of 20 grand 2 restore, but I could buy a restored one for about 15 (depending on the model, of course). A rolling chassis is probably worth about 2500 bucks or so.
Does this qualify as feminine hygiene?

You have heard the expression "His mind was like a steel trap." ???
Well, lets just say that mine is not. I MIGHT have read it, and just forgotton. Can we talk about something else?

You have heard the expression "His mind was like a steel trap." ??? mind is made of steel. Unfortunately, the steel is shaped in an odd, web-like fashion, so when I'm not using it to think, it can double as a sieve. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Multitasking is my big thing, you know! t&l

-ol' 2long Of course it does. Although most of us think our personal rolling chassises (?) chasses(?) chassi (?)--what IS the plural, anyway-- <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> are worth more than a mere $2,500...even if some of them have more, um, rolls, than others!

Sounds a lot nicer than Montana, anyway.

We're leaving for Neaksis' house. She's fixing a birthday supper for HP (and me, incidentally--I'm being allowed to bathe in the afterglow). He turns 60 tomorrow, and if that's not scary, I don't know what is!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Hi Neaksis. We're not forgetting you. I mean, how could we? And it's not that we don't try!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> I'll let her tell you how quicklyandeasily she fixed the broken shingle on the roof. She'll make someone a wonderful husband some day, with all these home improvement skills she's learning. :grin" t&l
