Hey Charlotte-

Don't give your WH any more thought.Any person who doesn't like JR's doesn't deserve your energy IMHO.

Truthfully, his thinking is all catywompus (sp?) at this point in time. The things he has had to tell himself to justify his behavior have him believing all kids of nonsense and have jumbled his values.

Enjoy the day with your family. My lawyer was a funny older woman with a tattoo on her chest. She and her legal assistant were fantastic. They let me bring my Idgie dog with me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

RIF-if you think those Italians like skimpy shorts, you should see them on the beach. Beer bellies and speedos. There's a thought!

Hi johnstwin,

Thank you!

I'm trying not to think about H but thoughts are trying to creep in anyway.

A tattoo on her chest, eh? Was it Lady Justice?

Hi Brit\'s Brat!

We've got a lot of Italian troops here at our FOB... they sure do wear some skimpy PT shorts when they go to the gym! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

It must be a European thing... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hey Charlotte - I hope you got some rest this morning and I hope you have a Great Thanksgiving!!!

Semper Fi,

RIF

Where, exactly, are you? I'm looking for a vacation spot for next year and, well, your gym sounds like a really great spot!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wow, BB referred you to this guy? Does she know any hot attorneys in California?

Okay, as a general rule, "hot attorneys" is an oxymoron! You see some of them look good on the outside but then you get to know them on the inside....I have dated several of my brethren and will NOT do it again! Same thing with engineers....have dated several and been burned by every last one, including my most recent burn which is still only a few days old. Now if you want to talk about the cute retired Air Force pilot who's chatting me up, well that's a different story!

Depends on what kind of "rockets" they are!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> (Okay, I have been divorced to long and, well, some of my EN's are just not being met!!!!)

RIF, are you in Iraq? Cute pilot dude was there just before his retirement three years ago. Our Aviation group is sending a humongous amount of Holiday stuff over for you guys...I just cleared it for export Tuesday, so it should be on its way.....

You guys are so funny! Maybe I won't dwell on H so much today after all!

Yeah, I wish. I'll probably be a puddle of tears later.

So, keep it coming! Keep it coming!

Cute attorneys...stodgy engineers...military personnel...

Hey BB!

I'm in the "other war".... the one that most people tend to forget. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> But I'm not complaining! hee hee, and I'm an Engineer too!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for supporting our troops no matter where they are... some of the things that these young kids are doing over here would amaze you. If anyone trys to tell you that the youth of America are lazy, then they need to come over here and see what these great Americans are doing in order to rebuild Afghanistan.

Oh, and I've been reading the "news" articles on Yahoo about how the Taliban are "taking over"... Pure propaganda!!! We're kicking their butts!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm sure that he DOES miss you... That's why it's important that YOU go and have a great Thanksgiving day with your friends and family!

He's the one that's missing out... you have a great day today, OK??? You don't need to sit around feeling sorry for yourself... you go have the best Thanksgiving ever and when your H calls you, you can tell him about all of the fun that he's missing! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ok... I'm really going to bed now! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Well, DS and I were talking and he brought up the call he got from H.

H wanted to assure him that cheating wasn't hereditary.

DS says H isn't interested in ending the affair right now. I told him that I knew that.

So talking about H now has me thinking more about him. Unfortunately.

I told him I was going to have to cut off all contact with H soon until he ends the affair. I can't take much more of the pain.

I wish I didn't have to wait until the inventory is done here. But it IS necessary so that he won't be able to sell anything.

I just hope that it takes place sooner than in two weeks.

I want to be two weeks into B already and totally removed from this drama. No checking my email or VM for those random messages from H that don't have any rhyme or reason.

No having the shakes for 2 hours when he calls until I calm down enough to call him back.

I know B is going to be really hard but if I don't go soon I may end up in the hospital after all.

My mom asked me if I was going to bail H out of jail if he gets thrown in again. I told her I'd have to talk it over on here but I don't see how I could possibly bail him out.

Let him call OW.

See how she likes going through the process of getting someone out of jail. This is one of the things that gets to her. And H still has his court date pending.

She doesn't want anyone that has a record and there is no way H is going to get out of this without one.

You may want to go into Plan B sooner than planned if you are losing your love for him. Right before he goes into jail might be a real good time. You are crazy if you bail him out.

Hi believer!

Nope. I'm not bailing him out if he gets pulled over and busted again. He's been being more careful about it but he tends to overmedicate when he has to call me or when he has to come out.

Except for the last time. He was clear-headed that night.

The soonest I can do Plan B is going to be after the inventory. H will be here to watch. I don't know if our lawyers will be or not.

He is supposed to take a tv, a dresser and some personal belongings. It might be the same day that he moves this stuff. I hope so.

That way I can have the letter ready and give it to him then, as someone suggested here...I don't remember who, though. Sorry 'bout that!

I guess I am in H imposed Plan B myself right now. Again.

Plan B might not affect him anyway but at least I'll be away from all of that crap.

It will be peaceful. I know I'll miss him, though. I miss him right now.

I don't want to think about him. But I am thinking about him anyway. I can't even think about my lawyer to get H out of my mind.

I had hoped that lawyer distraction would last a little longer but I guess not.
