I'm thinking about emailing Mr. Gray and telling him about the offer. I want to send him a couple of pics with DIL and DGS and DGS with his cool, new Spiderman sunglasses.

He's grrrrrrrooovy!

Still just in the thinking stage, though.

What a boring existence Mr. Gray must have now.

I asked my Doberman the other day to find out when Mr. Gray was coming over here since he won't talk to me and he had to call Mr. Mud back anyway about the inventory.

I guess I'll hear the answer on Monday. I still have stuff to pack away!

And I'm worried that Mr. Gray might show up here after work since I know that inventory won't be finished in a short amount of time. So I need to find out if I need protection over here.

I guess I could forego protection but I don't know if I should.

More to fret about....geez!

I guess sleep soon and if I wake up I'll be back in to jabberwocky-on!!

I might be in to shout at ya' later, RIF!!

The other day I figured out who Mr. Gray's attorney, now known as "Mr. Mudd," (forever and ever, amen!) reminds me of.

He reminds me of Admiral What'sHisWhat in Star Trek "Insurrection." Pretty soon F. Murray Abraham will take care of his booty!

Ouch!

Charlotte,

If you are a wonderful singer, you should do that. I don't understand why you would leave Jonsey behind if you did this.

Pursue your dreams. I was a singer, and a good musician, still am. Play Bass as well as latin percussion. I gave it up for 18 years so my H could live his dream, and I got the regular job and stayed home to take care of the children, as he is an awesome musician. He had an affair with a singer, go figure, who did it without regard to her children, they still are angry and combative as adults.

But my kids, grown now, love me and we have a great relationship, I figure it will be my time again, soon. I wish you the best! I have been singing and playing again, and it has been great!!

Time for you to be you.
My question is, why would your singing, gigging and recording be leaving your H behind? Not your WS, but your H?

God Bless,
Love in Christ,
Miss M

Be strong, you are awesome, and WORTHY. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey Charlotte,

I hope that no activity means that you're getting some well deserved rest!

Charlotte, contact the bill collector and their lawyer and tell them Mr. Gray no longer lives at your address, but still works at XXXX, in case they want to serve him there. If they go to court and win a default judgment against him/you, Mr. Gray's wages can be garnisheed.

Also, while explaining the situation to them, if it is a bill for you as a couple, ask what they would want from you, who wants to honor her obligation but due to her WH's frivolous actions is not able to put her hands on much money right now. Ask if they are willing to work with you.

FYI: Not in Texas. Wages can only be garnished for child support, taxes and student loans, not for debts. They CAN however execute a judgment against a bank account if they know where it is.

princessmeggy,

Ah, I didn't know that. Laws of the Republic of Texas are different than the Country of California.

Thank you. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Bellevue,

LOL, Texas does have it's own code. Shoot, they still have hanging on the books for stealing a horse. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I was watching Glenn Beck the other night princess, and he had a law enforcement officer on and the topic was border control. Something I feel is a very important issue.

The officer mentioned that Texas could secede from the Union. Which is why I called it a Republic! I like those old-fashioned laws.

And I like Glenn Beck. He's smart, conservative, and funny, and I wish he was one of my sons! (I only have one, but I would adopt Glenn.)

Thanks, Bellevue!

I haven't decided quite yet what to do about it but I don't have the money, that's for sure, even with 1/2 of Mr. Gray's salary. The amount is way too big. Since Mr.Mudd wanted to let the bills ride for now...I am going to talk it over with my Doberman to decide the best course of action. He has copies of all bills outstanding. And there are a lot! Phew!

Hi RIF,

Believe it or not, I actually slept through the night! Must have been all of the walking around and the excitement.

Hi Miss M,

Thank you! Are you the Divine Miss M? I thought about her when I saw your handle a while back.



I guess I just feel like I'm moving forward, all of these things are happening and all the while Jonesy's figure grows smaller and smaller in my rearview mirror.

He continues to stagnate in a life of sin and squalor, while using petty tactics to try and get at me to hurt me.

I know I'm growing and changing for the better but just thinking about it makes me a little sad. I hope that Jonesy is able to cast aside Mr. Gray so he can be at my side for all of this. I know he is going to cast aside Mr. Gray eventually, it's just so sad right now.

He enjoys my singing, he said so not long before the exposure explosion. I was rehearsing in one room as loud as I could because he was in the other room in IM with Slag.

Then after he finally quit for the night... we were talking and he would say something and it would remind me of a song so I'd start singing it. That happened quite a bit. Once I get started it's hard to turn me off sometimes! Even after we went to bed he said something so I had to start singing "Blackbird" by the Beatles. It was funny. And it was fun.

That's cool, I play bass though I am limited because I haven't practiced lately. Can't play like Geddy Lee or Steve Harris but I can get by.

I started learning to play the banjo but I'm still working on it! I like to play my clarinet quite a bit. My sister and I sometimes get together and jam. She plays the flute and some other instruments. I have a bass horn but I haven't printed out the fingering chart yet. Too much crapola and I just didn't care about music and stuff for a while.

I also got a set of bagpipes for Christmas last year. They're parlor-sized. I can play the chanter just fine...but I'm having a bit of trouble with the rest!

Well, plenty of time for all of that now!

You're a musician and singer?!? Music is an outlet for the soul and an expression of the heart. I've played keyboard all my life (piano, organ, whatever) and I've always said that playing soothes my soul. I can get Lost in My Music and work out lots of stuff. Get back into your music girl!

Bagpipes are my favorite instrument!

Thanks princess meggy!

Yeah, I stayed attached to it in small ways over the years. I missed being in a band but I didn't miss all of the roadie work that went with it!

But I was happy with playing my horn and for a while there my sister, her boyfriend and I had a trio with clarinet, flute and tuba!!

Her former boyfriend is a musical genius and I wanted him for a BIL so bad! He's such a sweetie. He was a lot like Mr. Gray used to be in a lot of ways. And he loved my sister SO much!

My sister is a music major. She recently went back to college for her masters. I'm not sure how much longer she has left to achieve this but she's doing great!

It's pretty cool...in our family on my grandma's side (maternal): her grandfather (or was it great-grandfather?) was an orchestra conductor and of course he could play any instrument put in front of him.

On my maternal grandpa's side: his great-grandfather (or was it great-great?) was an architect and he designed a lot of these old dance halls here in Texas. The octagonal shaped dance halls. There are still some standing in our part of Texas. I won't say his last name here but his first name was Joachim.

On my dad's side we had an English poet that is somewhat known in history, Charles Swinburne.

So we have a pretty cool heritage. I never used to think too much about it when I was younger. When I "grew up" I appreciated it a lot more but I guess that's par for the course in growing up, eh?

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Aren't they great?!?!

We have a little Scottish/Irish in our family somewhere on my dad's side so I thought I'd try and learn how to play them.

I'm going to make sure and get on that pronto so I can write a bagpipe song for you, Bellevue!

Plus I can be available for funerals, etc. if needed. Too many rely on recordings now. At my grandpa's funeral we had the bugle player (one of the VFW) but we didn't find out until later that he was using one of those fake bugles. I was disappointed. We all were. We still helped him look for his mouthpiece that he lost, though. He thought he lost it at the cemetary but we never found it.

Hey Charlotte!

Wow, I didn't know that you were a mucisian!!! I play around with the guitar some, but I'm not very good.

I'm off to breakfast and will be here on the night-shift later on, so if you can't sleep, I'll be here!

Semper Fi,

RIF

Yay RIF!

Now we can start The MB Band!!!!!

Good Evening Charlotte!

Actually, I help out in our chapel services and play back-up guitar with the Chaplain's assistant... but I'm not that good.

How are you doing this evening?

Semper Fi,

RIF

I play the radio and CD player!

I can roll cable over and under, though.
