If you aren't a lostwillow, what are you?

BTW, I have a new screenname for you. I'll tell you what it is when you answer my question. We have time.

of course given Pio's history of screen names you may want to stick with lost willow.......

Interesting username Pio

2much,

I did send the email you requested. Just to keep you updated, nothing has changed.

Thanks Pio for keeping me updated. BTW, luv the name change, much more meaningful than GG.

I am at an impass...I may take a few week MB vacation and bury my head for a while...

I need to focus on me and the kids and sorta ignore the rest of life for a while until my assignment limbo ends.

WH not cooperative with completing his end of dissolution papers (what I was afraid of)

The question you ask LW is interesting...that always was WH alibi..."but I always come back to you" or "you are the only one that really means anything"...I'm tired of being home base. I actually drew a A timeline with all OPs on it to get a visual of my M...very enlightening, discouraging and depressing. My question is...will I lock and barricade the door now that WH is on the otherside? I think I should...I am now figuritively deciding to change the locks or just sell.

I am through reflecting, working, analyzing etc...I can't bear to read any of the infidelity stuff for a while. I'll come back after Valentines day to check in and report.

Until then hugz to all,

2mhb

LW,

Don't get distracted. My question was not would he leave and then come back later. My question was pretty clear. Think about it.

2much,

I'm sorry WH is so full of BS. Maybe it will do you a lot of good to get away from this for a while. Maybe you need some inner peace too. Happy Valentine's Day in advance.

Hi everybody...

I am back in town and am trying to catch up....

Really enjoyed my 'break'...and seeing 'ma' family.....

....I can't sleep at night sometimes becaaauuuuse......

I have all these ideas and plans about what I want to do around the house....where to take the boys this summer.... friends I have not seen in a long time to invite for supper..... what to prepare so we all have an enjoyable time....

I have a reasonably big dining room..... and enjoy 'entertaining' and 'celebrating' over a nice meal and some wine..... some of my 'italian' heritage coming to surface, for sure....

Big hug to all.....

I've been thinking about you luna! I'm glad to see you're back.

Hello lostwillow, nice to meet you.

{{{{{2much}}}}} We're here when you need us 2much.

That's a very interesting question to ponder Pio.

Hi BigK. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

luna,

gemela has an expression "fiesta de cochino en casa de vecino". I live by it. You should too. Failing that, paper plates - can't beat em. I confess I did have a small problem with paper plates. The maid was cleaning up after a dinner and had not been with us very long and she put the paper plates in the dishwasher. What I thought was going to be a timesaver turned out not to be. Well we all learned a lesson that night (and the next day). She means well though. Another problem I had early on with her is that I came in after work and found her scouring a pan with all her might. The veins were popping out of her next. I asked what was the problem. She said we needed to get more expensive pots and pans because it was taking her hours to get the burned grey film off the Calphalon we have. Guess they don't have Teflon in Eritrea. Yet another lesson learned.

Hiroo_Onoda

Is there an interesting story to go with the name?

Would you care to share the "turning point" moment you referred to above?

Hey Luna!

Sorry you're hurting 2much & I hope you won't be away too long.

I'll talk about it after LW answers my question.

I will... curious about my new sreen name <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

lol Pio,
Those maid "problems" sound very familiar.

We had one temporary over the summer and we were all getting crazy because before she leaves everyday she would turn off all the switchs of every plug, so everytime we needed the computer, or any lamp we had to be looking for the plugs… she was afraid of fires, the funny thing is that same maid was the one to burn our toaster using a metal knife inside it to take the bread out, and cried for over an hour scared and wandering why would the toaster blow on her, and asked never to use a toaster again.

Another one was when DD7 was 3 was very sick at home, I had to come to work, worried to death because of this very high fever, so I called and asked maid to check fever… she calls me back after 15 minutes, very happy, and tells me not to worry, DD was doing very good not sick anymore, her fever was 30 degrees… I told her cant be, please check again, she did and came back with same result… well it took me a few days to get her to understand a person can’t have that temperature.

PenaltyX,

I posted a question to LW yesterday. Do me a favor and print that out and give it to BH and ask him to mull it. Tell him I asked you to do it.

Sorry LW but you have to earn the screen name.

We watched "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" last night and I finally feel vindicated. WW has complained for years about my insistence on sleeping with a chainsaw under the bed. Now she is in agreement.

I forgot to mention. I get really confused on this whole temperature/fever thing (discounting for farenheit/celsius which is a whole other issue). If you place a thermometer in someone's mouth (properly) and the thermometer reads 38.5C, what is the fever? To me, the fever is 1.5C because fever should indicate a differential over "normal". The temperature is 38.5C but the fever is 1.5C. I simply cannot make WW understand this.

I had another revelation this morning. You all know that I have been struggling for some time trying to come up with my EN's so that I can try to get WW to meet them. As I have posted here many times, this has been unusually difficult for me. Today I think I have the answer. If gemela will just learn to use power tools...

well, that's it, 38.5C is 1.5 Fever.

so, 30C would be -7... pretty cold. Till now the maid still kind of thinks I am weird because I told her DD coulnd have that... her answer to me still... she was not hot so whats the problem? I was really amazed she didnt know what fever/ body temperature means. I mean, I came to work and she cant even take the temperature?

Did you hire a nurse or a maid (or a nursemaid)? You get what you pay for. My maid won't use thermometers. She thinks they are of the devil. If the DDs don't feel well, she starts a fire in her room and dances around it in funny makeup while chanting in an unintelligible language. She used to make a bonfire but Loss Prevention was threatening us with eviction so I have negotiated her down to a can of sterno.

lol, and I though I would never be surprised with maid stories anymore.

OMG! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I just realized that my new screen name makes me a HO <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Well you just made me read HO history... what a crazy world we live in.
