LOL, I'd forgotten that.

Please post the poem.

I wrote LOADS of poetry as a teenager.

Do you know what it's like with old friends, you cover the same ground over and over. I know I've already said I wrote poetry as a teenager.

Kiwi Fruit,

Did you write poetry as a teen?

I could never publish my poetry here. I am a prose writer. I think it was Mark Twain, hmmm.... or was it Samuel Clemens who said that writing prose is like playing tennis with the net down. It is very true. Same with song lyrics.

Hi again everyone,

Sorry, I haven't quite worked out how to do all the posting tricks yet and I think I type too slowly. By the time my post appears it is pages later and addressed to the wrong person - oops !

Kiwi, I am stuggling with where I am relationship wise. My H wants to R but I am not sure what I want. He wasn't there for me when I needed him the most - that is hard to deal with.

Todd, It depends on which day you ask him, there is a story for every day of the week and one to spare. He does nothing to regain my respect.

Yes, it was heart breaking to go from planning a child to never having another one. I am very, very grateful for the three we have.

My Doctors will not say I have beaten the cancer yet, they quote percentages and years and talk in riddles. But I consider it a victory.
There are very many success stories these days.

Beth, you do know that Todd is battling his brain tumour (and winning if our prayers have anything to do it) don't you? There are many, many success stories, it's not the death sentence it once was.

Also, Beth, I wasn't there when my H needed me most either but he chose to fight for me.

LOL, Beth, we all have that problem. We post then suddenly it's 4 pages forward.

Beth,

Then obviously he and my WW are related.

When did the A end? How long did it last?

WOW Beth. Has your husband been on the MB site at all? Is he on-board with doing what is required to recover?

I can see that resentment for you is a huge issue - is this because he is not giving you information you need? Lies? Is inconsistent?

Or to put it another way - do you think if he was doing what you needed you would feel so resentful?

Jen,

I have been reading here for a couple of months at least. It was that damn licorice that forced me out of the closet! So yes I do know about Todd and he has been in my prayers for weeks. I actually feel like I know you all quite well and I have quietly been supporting you all.

You mentioned to me that you were a WS but I do not know anymore of your story. Was your H also ill ?

Todd,

I feel a little rude talking about you behind your back!
I hope you don't mind.

I am none too sure the A's have ended. I hired a PI and finally found out the truth about the "love shack" he had set up. (oops another song)
But he often goes missing and TJ is not far away. He tells me it is all over and how sorry he is. I wish we needed a passport to go into Mexico as then there would be a paper trail. I asked the vet to implant a tracking chip like he did for our dogs - couldn't understand his hesitation.

I think it is going to be a long search for the truth but I am running out of gas.

Beth.

Hi BigK,

You left for a moment and I morphed into a prolific poster!

I am sorry but it's late and my posts take me so long to do.
Two finger pecking is time consuming.

I'll reply tomorrow, thank you again for your encouragement.

Goodnight, Beth

It's OK Beth - your post above the reply to me answered volumes anyway.

Beth,

You can place a GPS tracking device in his car. Also, some cell phones act as GPS transmitters to meet 911 locational requirements. One more trick that I just learned. Buy a cable that connects his cell phone to a USB port on your computer. There is softare that is downloadable which can be used to pull his text messages, even if he has erased them! Little known trick. Good luck and goodnight.

Todd

Artist: The Who Lyrics
Song: I Can See For Miles Lyrics
1967 video

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you've played
And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Beacuse all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

You took advantage of my trust in you when I was so far away
I saw you holding lots of other guys and now you've got the nerve to say

That you still want me
Well, that's as may be
But you gotta stand trial
Because all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal are mine to see on clear days
You thought that I would need a crystal ball to see right through the haze

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Beacuse all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
And miles and miles and miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles

Hola BG <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Do you like koalas or you are just too used to them?

They are native Australian animals. We don't eat them if that's what you are asking. LOL

'morning All! Just a quick hello & hasta manana.

2regret, if it weren't for sarcasm tinged with anger we'd be lost, hence my Who's My Soul Mate game invented by ex. I never got the truth & that eats at me the most. I don't know for sure he cheated so do I assume because I strongly suspect & have cirumstancial evidence because it would help me move on?

Pottery glaze formulas are boring to talk about unless you're interested in chemicals & how they work. For me, as one who responds in an emotional way to art, but I'm not a bedwetter, it's how the galzes works & makes me feel.

Pleeeeze Todd, a bit more of your poem or song which may include the concept of a guitar as an axe.

I may be related to Lizzy Borden. Does that scare you Todd?

Nice day to All!

All I can say is at least we have been left alone by the mods for a bit.

I was thinking about something this morning. It would have been so nice if gemela had just said a simple "thank you" for finding her garden in good condition - not perfect but really good. Instead she told me she had met the neighbor in front and the woman just raved about her garden. Well we know who did the work. I don't ask much. A simple thank you?

I will confess I was worried about the parent-teacher meetings and I felt vindicated when they went so well. That was a big victory for me.

nam,

I am a chemical engineer. If you want to talk about covalent bonding of pottery glaze molecules, I'm in.
