LMAO!!

Hey Charlotte,

I've been busy with my conference and haven't been on my normal night-shift...

I should be back on my regular schedule in a day or so... Hopefully you'll be sleeping better by then!

Semper Fi,

RIF

Thanks RIF!!

Me too. I'd love to be able to sleep at least one night all the way through at least once a week!

It sure does get lonely 'round these parts at night! Missed seein' ya'!

Take care!

Charlotte

We was jes' bein' helpful. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

OT anyone ever watch foster home for imaginary friends? My son LOVES that show....especially bloo and cheese.....I think you would get a kick out of it Char....I am an adult and I love it...there is hidden adult humor here and there. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Now I'm getting antsy waiting for it to hit. I'm DYING to be a fly on the wall!!!!!!

I may not even hear anything at all. Certainly not a thank you!

But if Mr. Gray thinks he can use this to scare me again by having his lawyer send another letter to mine...I just gotta say...

Kiss da booty!

I hope I DO hear something...(tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...)

I sent a thank you card to OWH. I know he HAD to be there but it just felt like the right thing to do.

Just a short paragraph or so in the card. No, I didn't say anything that might trickle back to Mr. Gray.

Why would I do that? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hi SIHW!!

That DOES sound like something I would like. I LOVE all of the adult cartoons and the semi-adult cartoons like the Simpsons.

Faves are probably American Dad and King of the Hill & Family Guy. But sometimes they all switch places for number one.

So where do I sign-up to see the show you are talking about?

I put the "Dreamcatcher" dvd in the player. After all of the talk about Jonesy and Mr. Gray I just wanted to see good triumph over evil once again.

I Duddits!!!

it's on cartoon network and we "own" the 1st season DVD...I saw own because I have seen it a million times...DS just loves it THAT much...I find myself quoting lines from it randomly at times...no i am not crazy.

But check the video store....it's called "Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends"

shoot look it up online....or email me and I will send you some info I think I have *looks around*

I'll bet my sister watches that and just hasn't mentioned it. I know she likes the on with the Superhero fast food. Can't think of the name of it right now. Oh yeah, and Robot Chicken.

I watch the Cartoon Network sometimes but I like "Boom" better.

I'll look for that show, though. Thanks for the info!

Well, Mr. Gray is on in IM. Funny...he always made himself invisible to me before. Ever since "Brave New World" he has made himself visible to me.

Cue Yosemite Sam with some choice expletives please.

Well, as soon as Plan B is in place he will be removed from my IM list. And my phone.

Take THAT! You game-playing alien!!

Now, if only those bombs would hurry up and reach their target!!!

Aqua teen Hungar Force.....that is a weird show..... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Oh yeah!!! That's it!

That is a weird one all right. It gets on my nerves, frankly!

This has me crackin' up!!! I so LOVE that brand of help! Charlotte and Mel, THE REALITY BRINGERS!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Something tells me Mr. Gray ain't gonna like takin' a bite outta dat supersized REALITY SAMMICH!!! That is the BEST way of making reality collide with fantasy...PERFECTLY EXECUTED!!! I give it "two snaps up in a circle"! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Mrs. W

WooooooHooooooo!!!!

That's us.....BING!!! REALITY!!!!

I feel so much better now when I think about when I have to see him again. I know I can handle Mr. Gray! Maybe I won't need anyone from the office to assist in keeping him in line after all.

Yeah, I talk a big line don't I? I'm probably going to be a total WRECK on that day!

Or not. I still have time to get all of the important files from the memory warehouse safely out of Mr. Gray's reach.

I might make it.

No bounce, no play!

Have you ever talked to one of the Harley's about getting some strategy or direction?

They sometimes advise slightly differently from the conventional wisdom around these boards. I think they could probably help you come up with an effective plan given your special circumstances of your WH's pill problem.

To be honest, the whole "lobbing bombs" concept, at the same time as you are having no good contact with him at all, right before you go to Plan B ..... it all makes me cringe a little bit. It seems to me that if you went to Plan B right now (or soon, as you are planning), these are the last memories he'd have of you. And I'm just not sure how effective that would really be.

I realize you have special circumstances to consider, so I may be totally off-base. I just can't imagine how your current plan is setting up a very effective Plan B.

Just my opinion -- with all due respect to Mel. I haven't been around nearly as long as she has, and I don't mean to contradict her. I just wonder if the Harley's might have another idea that hasn't been considered. I've seen them come up with some jaw-dropping stuff sometimes.

-AmI.

Hi AmIok,

I don't see what choice I have BUT to go into Plan B. Mr. Gray insists on hiding behind his attorney.

He is going to continue and try to get to me. Plan A was going really well until the hearing.

The only chance I have left to Plan A is when he comes over for the inventory and to collect his things.

If I don't go into Plan B after that there is no way I will be able to continue. He will certainly continue to do things to try and get to me.

The love bank is so low now it is almost non-existent.

The "bomb" in question is something he needs to keep his DL. I can't help the way he'll view it.

He has to know that he is going to lose me. He is going to lose me very soon if I don't go into Plan B.

He will come over and see all of our mementos removed from our walls, dressers, bathroom, etc.

He will get the PBL on the way out.

I have already lost him. He needs to know that he is losing me. Because he is, there is no doubt about that.

Also AmI, remember that Plan A has a STICK to it...Charlotte's "bomb lob" wasn't really HER bomb anyway, it was HIS BOMB and HIS REALITY...OW needs to see that REALITY...it's probable that she will NOT dig it...Remember OW didn't sign on "for better or for worse", she's just in it for what SHE can get out of it...Not only that, Charlotte getting her WH that affidavit IS kind...She could just have let it sit and he would have been in REAL trouble then, not just in trouble with his affair partner...I think Charlotte is right on track...Dr. Harley even advises exposure in Plan B sometimes...Reality is a GOOD thing...

Mrs. W

He has no idea the extent of which he is losing me, either. It's not just his actions that are pulling me away from him now.

There are other forces at work as well. Normal, sane people and things.

That's why I have to remove his poison because if this keeps up that's IT.

He may still try to get at me anyway. I don't know.

But I have to do what I can to stop it. I am being pushed and pulled in different directions and the direction that has the most influence now is AWAY from him.

Ami, she is not "dropping bombs" so to speak, she sent her H an affidavit he needs for his court case. Without it, he could lose his drivers license. However, since he is with the OW, it has the unpleasant benefit of the OW witnessing his legal problems. We happen to know this is a big turn off to her. THAT is the "bomb" that Charlotte is joking about.

All of her interactions with him have been very cordial and very loving, not hostile, so he will have a good taste in his mouth when she goes dark. She will seque into Plan B perfectly as all the bases have been covered.

Even so, Dr. Harley would tell her that Plan A is NOT ADVISED in the case of a drug addict because it is impossible to meet the needs of an active addict. She has done a good job of leaving a good taste in his mouth before she goes dark by giving him a "Plan A" letter that he can read in his sober moments. We have strategically ensured that he understands her position even though he is on drugs.

So, don't worry, Ani, even though we joke about dropping bombs, the environment is loving, not hostile and there is a sound plan of action.
