He said he couldn't make out my VM that I left him last night.

I wrote him back. Now we'll see if he writes back.

Or calls.

You're still in Plan A so contact is ok.

Don't expect an immediate response. Assume he'll take his time. It's a power thing for them.

I'm now in Plan A so contact is ok for me too. (I just left a voicemail for her to arrange for the check pick-up.)

We'll see where she's at right now.

I believe you're right, 411.

I did send him a message asking if he got the message because I used the gmail chat and I've never used it before so I'm unfamiliar with it. He is logged in in both IM's though.

So a little while later I sent him this:

LOL! You are so funny! Trying to get you to answer an email is like trying to pull an elephant's teeth with a set of tweezers.

And that's all I'm sending.

Funny, the phone rang around the time I sent him the message but only once and no ID showed up.

I think it was probably him.

Humor is always good way to do things.

It loosens people up. He did the old high school thing of dial and then hang up except he hit the last number as was terrified to talk to you.

Well, I'll wait a while. And call him later. MAYBE.

Or tomorrow. MAYBE.

Believe me I feel the same way, but I know that more than one call comes off as needy/pushy/etc. Let them come to you. It's hard because you're worrying when and if they'll call but you jsut have to your stuff and not worry about it.

Well, he wrote back.

Glad he could humor me, he said.

I said, well...of COURSE you humor me. Aren't you the "Good Humor Man?!"

Then in the next message he tells me he wants to come by near the end of the week for the stuff.

I wrote back: just let me know when. I have to see my Doberman about that lawsuit, (I told Mr. Gray about the lawsuit just today,) and I don't know what day I'll be available!

He went into gmail to check. His "light" was green.

Now he just received the latest email.

Oh boy!

I am SO nervous!

I guess I'd better wear that new turquoise blue dress I bought when I was with DIL last week at the celebration! And matching shoes! (but I've had the shoes since last year. I was waiting for a match!)

And he gets the PBL.

Oh, I am SO nervous!

Good stuff Charlotte,

You're doing well. Just remember to be cool calm and collected.

Nothing so far from my WxGF but I know that she'll won't call me back because she's pissed off/doesn't care/ thinks she hates me.

Or posibly the A has restarted. That was the only time she didn't call back right away.

Thanks 411!

I'm behaving! I'm behaving!

Sorry to hear about your latest. Maybe it's just a bad day and not related to OM?

Hope that's all it is!

No problem Charlotte,

Nah, It's impossible to tell with her. Our break up was fine it was dealing with the finacial stuff that went poorly as she basically turned into a robot. She went from telling me it was over to business issues from day 1 to day 2 I didn't feel like communicating until today Day 4. I'm guessing she's not wanting to look desperate, out, pissed at me for not communicating, the A was restarted, or million other reasons.

I could ruminate about it but I won't. After all she indicated she wanted to meet with me.

If there was a gun to my head she's probably trying to make me squirm or jsut doesn't care right now as she's still very fogged in.

Charlotte, you might ought to delete that whole post about your WH's blog, and suamico needs to edit her post about what his hobbies mean to him, because I also found his blog.

Hi Lady Clueless,

Thank you. I rewrote the whole thing. In my translation.

I guess I can't do anything about suamico's post unless Justuss wants to delete it or I ask.

I appreciate you letting me know!

Hey RIF - you are getting pretty short aren't you?

One of my collegues at work is arriving in Kabul the first week of January. She is a real smart engineer, and will do a fine job there.

Hi RIF!

Good to see ya'!

I talked, actually talked to Mr. Gray earlier. When I was driving out to go meet up with DIL for the hayride I called him and said....why don't we talk in REAL time instead of 2 dimensional?

To my surprise he called when I was knocking on DS & DIL's door.

We talked until the signal went out. Then I sent him a text that I'd call him later.

Then I talked to him when we were on the way to the hayride. I told him he needed to read my last email. He said he would and then he'd call back.

Still waiting here!

But I ain't callin' him!

You're doing a great job... I didn't handle Mrs. RIF's "first" A nearly as well as you're doing!

Thanks RIF!

I don't know how I'm able to do it but I am. And I'm still able to talk to him normally even though I'm so nervous I could rattle my bones to dust from the quaking and shaking!

I guess Spock must have been back. I will REALLY need him next Saturday!
