Wow Todd.

I'm sitting here, moved to tears at what you wrote.

You are truly an inspiration.

I, too, am proud and honored and lucky to have you in my life and call you friend.

I have never lost hope and faith that you will beat this. You will and you will thrive.

Todd...

You are not Superman for nothing!

((((((((((((((TODDAC)))))))))))))

You know what they call the guy who graduated last in his class at medical school...."Doctor".

You know that expression "there is safety in numbers"? That is how many people are with statistics and especially doctors. If I remember correctly, Lance had a pretty poor prognosis too.

I guess it is obvious by now that Todd and I are actually the same person (except that I'm the good-looking one of me).

Todd,

Why exactly was I worried about you?

You are inspirational.

Many blessings to you Todd.

Beth.

Todd recovers his cape, dons it, takes a leap and is in flight faster and higher than ever...the crowd cheers, tears of joy are shed, our hero has returned!

TKO love to you bro!

So if you are superman and Pio is also Todd, what does that make Pio...an arch enemy or Clark Kent?

Pio do you have anything to say regarding my Christmas gift or am I gonna have to wait for Christmas????

hugs TKO

Well, once again, worked on a response and the "system" took it away. At this point, I will just say a fond thank you to all my friends.

BTW, also want to point out I have a new sig line. Seems to better reflect current situation.

Pio is Jimmy Olsen.

Well Jimmy has some photos that Todd MAY not want people to see. Just think about that.

Okay, off topic. I am starting to agree with Todd - YIKES!!!

Doing my Christmas shopping online, and suddenly having problems big time with my bank. I have NO credit cards, don't want them. I use a debit card. All year, I never have had a problem. Now that Christmas is here, my bank (Wells Fargo), wants to protect me from fraud.

They want to protect me so much that I can't get access to my money!! I could go in to the bank and withdraw it all, but on-line, there is one thing after another.

Now, Todd, I'm not talking about millions. I have around $4,000. in the account. I'm buying a Nintendo Wii, some games, a portable Sirius w/subscription, a little money to Mexico via Western Union, etc. In the last 2 days, I've called the bank 4 times. Their answer is that all of this is for MY protection. I'm thinking of talking to them, and just telling them to STOP protecting me, JUST GIVE ME THE F'ING MONEY.

~amen~

Believer,

lmao.

Last year, I sold a fairly expensive item on eBay, approx. $3,000 and used PayPal. When I tried to transfer the money from PP to my bank account, PP said no, we are protecting you. We need for you to send a notarized affadavit to us stating and proving that you are ToddAC and blah blah blah.

I called support and used every word in my vocabulary. Yes, especially those words. they were not amused. I felt so strongly, that I wrote the AG office of the federalales and my own backward state.

This is what I heard from both of them.





That's right: nothing.

I have not dealt with PP since.

BTW, I originally opened a PP account 5 years ago because my able college student, DS2 told me it was an effective way to get money to him. He can be resourceful when he needs or wants to.

LMAO.

ToddAC trembles with fear.......

Hey Big Boy, Superman can melt those pics anytime with his heat vision.

Todd,

I have a hunch your doctor didn't do very well on his SAT either.

Alright....TKO....be warned...get ready for some venting! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Going into details at this point is irrelevant...suffice to say that it is linked to WS and OW...and the numerous emotional wounds and scars added since D-day.

I know for a fact that as a BS, I will be obliged to 'manage' for life the many emotional wounds and scars that have been added to my 'baggage' after becoming the third wheel in a triangle of WS's A....

...but, of course, as best as one tries...I do expect to hit a 'hidden mine', among many, once in awhile, and know that it will hurt like ****** when I do...

...Do you all see where this is going?

...Well...I have hit one...so...let the tears flow....let PAIN have its 15-minutes of fame by my sharing this with you all....by recognizing that it's THERE....lurking...at every corner...ready to come out.....

...so that way...I can get on with my life....DAMN IT!

...so there! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

...sorry for the interruption...back to regular programming... and thanks!

Oh Luna <sigh>

I'm so sorry for your pain. This time of year is hard on all of us. Feel free to vent/share anytime.

{{{{{{{luna}}}}}}}

Thanks stph20.

Hey luna,

I woke up this AM at 3:45 (later than usual but it is the weekend) and if WW had been awake, she and I would have had a very frank conversation. I'm not sure why. Anyway, I worked out and went back to bed and got up with WW and things were okay.

2much,

I promise you I am on my best behavior. I am just not happy on the inside. WW doesn't know that though and - yes - I am sure of that. I am trying to be happy on the inside though. We are 2/3 of the way through the Godfather trilogy. It isn't helping much.

Sorry Luna.

((((((((((Luna))))))))))

I am sitting here listening to Carrie Underwood's CD, "Some Hearts". I got it for Christmas last year and it is fantastic. I dare say it maybe the best first album from a singer I have ever heard. Lots of songs and no throw aways.

The following are lyrics which may fit some hidden if fleeting thoughts which some BS may have had.


[color:"blue"] Right now he's probably slow dancin' with a bleached-blond tramp,
and she's probably getting frisky...
right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink cause she can't shoot whiskey...
Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool-stick, showin' her how to shoot a combo...
And he don't know...

I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats...
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

Right now, she's probably up singin' some
white-trash version of Shania karaoke..
Right now, she's probably sayin' "I'm drunk"
and he's a thinkin' that he's gonna get lucky,
Right now, he's probably dabbin'on 3 dollars worth of that bathroom colone...
Oh and he don't know ohhh...

I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats,
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

I mighta saved a little trouble for the next girl,
Cause the next time that he cheats...
Oh, you know it won't be on me!
Nooo... not on me...

I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,

Ohh.. Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats...

ohh... before he cheats... ooooohhhhh....[/color]
