Wow! That's cool.

Post-D, I intend to do some serious sight-seeing - to make up for an accumulated deficit. Arches Park should be on the list.

You know? Dead summer is probably (surprisingly) one of the best times 2 go there. Particularly Goblin Valley.

It's 2 hot for most life forms, so there's nobody there!

AD,
Whats the prognosis? Are you going to live?

I know 2long will, in fact, he may just now be starting to live after a long stint of death.

We'll see.

You know, SC?

If it doesn't mean murdering Qfwfq in the process, can we do that?

If we kill him off, there's still good ol' Qfwfq over here. I just don't use the login name all that often. We're kinda close, though.

AD,

Sorry I missed this yesterday.

Yes, I'll live. Thanks for asking.

I've got a thread around here someplace with a rundown of my thoughts and doin's.

It's probably down about the 3rd page by now. I'll go bump it.

Yeah, maybe. But did you notice that I've got 2.3 times as many posts as he does???

And that doesn't count my alter ego, Qfwfq! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hey BB, how't it going?

Spacecase, isn't it time you did a more complete update?

2long, what's for lunch?

AD, do you have a time frame yet?

Pep - how's the former cub scout doing?

Folks:

Because we were talking about what we were going 2 all do when she goes out 2 her OOSP on the tenth, but my W and I hadn't addressed that since d-day 29385r729354, I composed, edited, and sent the following message just before lunch:

"W

Regarding the discussion last night about going 2 OOSP. I would love 2 go 2 OOSP for a week 2 work on the house, as we talked about when we were there 2 weekends ago. But I will only do so if you will promise me that you will have no further contact with Rat Meat of any kind, for any reason, from now on, unless it is a printed letter agreed upon and signed by 2th of us clearly stating our desire for no further contact.

This means no personal or professional contact. No phone calls or emails from you and no plans 2 hire him 2 consult for you on anything, ever. And no replies 2 any attempts from his end 2 contact you.

I hope you will give our relationship, and our family, the chance 2 recover and thrive that I think they deserve.

I love you,
-ol' 2long


Went 2 lunch (had beef stroganoff - it was okay), then got this reply waiting for me:

"2long, you were right when you said you do not love me, you love who you want me to be. As long as that is true, there is no family for me. That has alway been and will be the problem. I desparately need to be who I am - not just the housekeeper, caretaker. I'm sorry that you lost sight of that."

I think there are some words that might describe what she is and they aren't housekeeper, caregiver. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

I am sorry that you seem to be on such different tracks going in the opposite directions.

With his CA membership card in ashes -

2long will rise again like the phoenix....into a better, more fulfilling life. I'm sad, but not too surprised - I had just hoped for more.

Sending many blessings your way.

For an immediate response (in case she's frantically sending the "news" 2 RM and has her computer lit up still), how 'bout this?

"Okay, I'll make other plans, then."

She's been soaking in something for 2 long. Her reply is a complete non-sequitor (sp?).
