Hey, I called today and and I have an appointment tomorrow.....I was told a web address where I am to go to and fill out a LB inventory......I was shaking when I was talking to them (just really nervous and all) that I wrote the web page link down wrong <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />....I've been calling overther to MB but have not been able to talk to anyone.....

Just thought if someone knew where I can find this or if someone by any chance remembers the link and could share it with me..... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thank you. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Daisy- I don't have the link right in front of me. I do have some advice for you.
1) Tell them first thing your MB site name and personal thread. Steve told me he would read it to bring himself up to speed in order to maximize your time.
2) Get a note pad and take all kinds of notes. They will give you quotes and statements to use in conversation.
3) Record the phone call if at all possible. There is so much said, in one hour that it is tough to diegest..

I will come back with the link later if know one else does.

Hey dazed thanks....I will stop by an electornics store and see about some recording equipment for phones (have no idea really what is out there....I just don't pay any attention to these things <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />)......

I have already made an appointment and I did not tell them about posting on here and having a thread......My appointment is tomorrow....do you suggest I still let them know?

Daisy-
Yeah, going to an electronics store, radio shack etc. should get you something that will work.

Yes, Do tell them first thing of your postings.
Are you speaking with Steve? I have his fax number where you can send him your info before the phone call if you need it?

Hi, Daisy. Radioshack sells a great little doohicky for about $10. It's a little splitter that goes between the body of the phone and the receiver. It can only work for corded phones, and you need a tape recorder with a mic jack. You will get a recording that is as clear as a bell. I used to be a reporter and used one when I did phone interviews. Nifty little gadget.

Good luck tomorrow!

How odd, I have an appointment with SH tomorrow also. This will be my third appointment.

Before my first appointment, I sent Steve a brief email with pertient information. It gave him a little bit to work off of.

Steve is very easy to talk to. He is very matter-of-fact and to the point. He did ask me my board name. He'll ask you how you are doing, mentally and physically.

It is extremely important to have a pad of paper and pencil with you. It's good to take notes. If you plan to record your session, it would be polite to ask Steve before you do it. Personally, I think writing is better. It's like taking notes in class. The pen to paper thing reinforces and help you to process what you learn. I have often gone back to look at my notes. I wouldn't want to replay a tape. I'd probably start second guessing myself about why I didn't ask some questions or how stupid or whiney I might have sounded.

I am very apprehensive about my appointment tomorrow. This is kind of my "rebuttal" round. Steve talk to WH before Thanksgiving. We will do this session having WH's perspective. It should be interesting. I had hoped that talking to Steve might thin the fog. Since then WH has made one request about the DD but he didn't call her about it. On Thanksgiving, he did not contact any of his children. Didn't even call the ones who have their own cellphones. I feel very unsettled.

WD, I hope your appointment goes well.

Hey Grapegirl....

If you are still out there, could you give me S.H. email address?

I would like to send him some summary so I can get right into it with him.

I think I might just have to end up taking really good notes! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I did go to the electronic store (no radioshack up here in Canada) but they have all this fancy stuff and then I only have a cordless phone (as H took the other) and it is kind of old. Anyway, had a nice chat with the sales guy...he actually offered me his personal phone and recorder <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> (said he does not use it anymore)....I did not accept of course, but it was nice to get some attention.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I did buy some recorder but now it does seem kind of odd to hold it and the phone and a pen at the same time (did I mention I only have 2 hands <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)....

We'll see how it goes....

PS, later tonight I will delete the link because I don't think the Harleys want this link publicly known to prevent false info from coming in.

Thanks again.

well...I've played with the recorder....gave me something to do...kind of fun all these gadgets...who knew <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />???

I don't know what I'll do with it <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />....I know it is something H always wanted to record his music....oh well <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />!

Who knows maybe I'll need it again someday.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

I am feeling kind of good right now. Don't know the reason but it feels good and I refuse to analyze it...I just want to enjoy it...... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I am having some people over for dinner...looking forward to that....makes time pass by faster....

Hey Orchid,
I have people over for tonight....so still looking forward to that <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />!

I have the session with Steve in an hour and a half....so really hope it goes well. We'll see.

Feeling ok today. Had a nice relaxing evening last night <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />. I did speak to H last night for a few minutes....kind of just to let him know that yes I am still out here alive and kicking....don't know if he cares.

I have dreamt about H 3 nights in a row....must be the stress. Now, I dreamt that we were back together and that I decided to take English lessons for improve this R <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> (H was always critical of my english ~ it really is not bad at all (ok, just the spelling <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />) ...I have lived out in the English speaking world for some time now ~ but he would just pick and pick just to pick at something <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />......) I woke up and did not feel too great about that...because I am not going to take English lessons for any guy <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />!

Enjoy the Day Orcid <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />....you are probably not even awake as I write this.....

Steve is a really easy guy to talk to and will give you lots of information so be prepared to do lots of writing.

Ask lots of questions and give him the detail of your situation. Good luck.
