I can't pull up the power point picks. I got the email, but there's no power point...again...I am pretty dumb with puters...do I need to do something else? Should there be an attachment to open up?

I got to watch the Irma Browns [censored] Whoopin Academy. Funny...I think my mother must have attended as I have gotten the Hair Brush Wallop several times. A customer walked in right at the end of the video, I don't think I've moved that fast in a while.

I'm waiting for her to leave so I can watch the SNL skit. Don't these people realize that I have WORK to do around here?

I think all you do is double click on the .ppt filename shown on the attachment. You could right click on the filename and save it to your computer, then double click to open it. Let me know if you are still having trouble with them.

How in the heck did Dinero do that with a straight face? It amazes me. That one was funny. I'm still crackin up.

OK, gonna go back and try to pull up the power point ones.

Oh yeah, H just called a minute ago. He is acting really weird. He wanted me to go rent a family movie so that we can watch a movie with the boys tonight. I mean, I'm not complaining...but he's never done that before. He has never wanted to sit down and watch a family movie before. I've always had to wait until I knew H wouldn't be home so that me and the boys could watch a movie together. H was never interested in family type movies.

He also told me about three times that he loved me and missed me. And thanked me for an email that I sent him earlier. Ofcourse, he also told me that he had to "work late" today. So maybe he was just prepping me for that. Cause I know what "work late" means. Every time he "works late" and I call him, he's never there.

Ok, checking email now.

That is weird. Just remember tough love and stick to your guns. I know it's hard, but take the compliments with a grain of salt, and the complaints also. His actions need to do his talking right now. By the way, you are doing great!

Hope you enjoy the powerpoints. Deniro was super in that skit. I don't know how he keeps from cracking up.

I know. These days, his compliments and I love you's just go in one ear and out the other cause I know it's all fog talk.

I know he loves me, but it's like you said. He needs to put actions behind it...and he's not doing that.

What movie are you going to watch? I love the animated movies; Finding Nemo, Shark Tales, Shrek, Ice Age, etc. Even though our boys are 14 and 15, we still watched those when they came out. I liked them as much as anybody.

I don't really have any plans for tonight, except for Boston Legal at 9:00. Sam and I may have to get out and run around a little bit.

I'm not sure what movie I'll get. I've seen all of the ones you've listed above. I guess I'll just browse through the family section and see what they have.

You said Boston Legal is funny. Is it a comedy? What's it about?

It's about these lawyers in Boston. It's not really a comedy, but it is funny. William Shatner plays the main lawyer, but he is mentally losing it. It has some drama, but with a funny twist usually.

How about Chicken Little? That's out now isn't it? That looks funny and I bet your boys would love it. I remember my son at that age. It was so wonderful. Giving him a bath and putting on his pajamas with the feet sown into them. Good times, even though I didn't realize then how precious those times were.

Chicken Little, already seen that too. I LOVE pajamas with feet in them. It's so weird that you said that. His evening routine...a bath, put his feeted PJ's on and watch a movie.

I may try Boston Legal next week.

Yes, these are good times. "good times", that reminds me of another SNL skit. The two ladies who does the Martha Stewart type show, only it's on the radio. Can't remember who plays the rwo ladies. it's an old one too. You seen those skits? They are hilarious. Good times, Good times.

Yeah, I've seen those skits. Molly Shannon and Anna Gastneyer play that I think. They are good. I remember one was a Christmas skit with Alec Baldwin joining them promoting Sveatee Balls christmas candy. I laughed until I cried.

I love those pajamas too. A couple of Christmas' ago, I got online and found some for adults. I got my STBX a pink pair with the feet in them. They were so cute. She loved them.

Yeah, that's who played them. I loved the Sveatee Balls candy one. "MMMM, your balls taste so good"... oops sorry. I just crack up when I think about it. People are looking at me cause I'm just sitting here laughing as I think about it.

I don't do what movie to get. I'll just have to go and see what they have. I think I have already said that.

I didn't even know they made those for adults. I may have to check in to that.

They are cute, and looked really warm. Also got her a pair from playboy, full body pajamas, with the button flap on the rear. Those were cute too.

As you can probably tell, I got her a lot of stuff. You name it, I've probably got it for her, or thought about it. I miss that. I love giving presents. I never want anything in return, just a big smile is enough.

You are just too good. And yes I can tell, you bought a lot for her. That's the way I was with my H. Everytime I'm out, I'm looking for something I think would look good on him.

Gotta go place an order for parts. If I don't talk to you anymore today. Have fun running the roads with Sam. Have a great great evening. I will talk to you tomorrow. Looks like we were loaners today. but that's ok.

I can tell you might be getting a little down, talking about stuff you bought your wife. Don't do it. The devil wants to get you down. Don't let him win. you are better than that!

I'll remember you in my nightly prayers, you do the same for me please.

I will do it. Your right, some things I shouldn't talk about. Maybe though, she will think about it, someday anyway.

I enjoyed chatting today also. Maybe tomorrow Thankful will check in.

Have a good evening with those boys, and when you put on their pajamas, think of me and smile.

Talk tomorrow.

Oh, I most definitely will.

And, we can talk about those times. It feels good for me sometimes to remember "those times". So, if you feel the need to talk about her and those times, then talk away. I'm don't always know what to say, but I'm a very good listenener.

Time to go home so I'm gonna clock outta here and go and try to find a movie for those sweet babies of mine!

Talk to ya tomorrow! Sleep well!

Hi there all,
Sorry for making you worry once again. ALOT has happened...THE A IS OVER!!!!! You have no idea how happy I am that that obstacle is out of the way. So DARN happy. I know you are probably asking if I know for sure, but without getting into the details, I know for sure that it is over. My H finally got to see her true colors & it is done. He still has a lot of issues in his mind to work through at this point - we haven't really talked of reconciliation per se, but things seem alot more positive than ever. He stayed here Saturday night and last night also. He called me late Sunday night, just to talk & it was oddly enough, one of the best AND one of the worst conversations we have had throughout this whole ordeal. I am seeing glimpses of the man I used to know. Talked to him this afternoon as well & he ever so sweetly told me that he DOES love me. I just replied "thanks" and he said "Ok" and I said "yes, okay"

So...we shall see - actions speak louder than words, but he has spent the most amount of time here at the house than he has in awhile - so I see that as a positive sign - especially sleeping here twice. (He stayed on the couch both times)

I know we aren't over the hump yet, but I stil am finding so much relief in the fact that the A is over with the MOW.

Again, sorry to make you all worry - but it was tough to get on here while he was here.

I hope you all are doing well - I am always thinking of you - ((HUGS))
