Thank you, SS. A vote of confidence from you is ALWAYS welcome!

Heck, you were in our corner from the getgo.

So was 2long.

And it's been a wild ride for sure.

I'm slowly learning to trust, and to be open...but it is taking some time. He thinks I am still a little more guarded than is necessary. I think even in marriage you have to take it slow. There is nothing to hurry for anyway.

Every single day is an adventure and yet at the same time it's like a warm, comfy blanket.

An exciting trip out to sea, and a safe, sheltering harbour when life gets too crazy.

Make sense? That's what marriage is supposed to be like, I think.

That's beautiful, 2long!! I love it!!

Thank you so much for sharing!!

I think you nailed it. A great marriage is both exciting AND safe. Some have one, or the other, and think they ought to be happy. I believe you need both. FYI, we sometimes have bad days too. It's because neither of us are perfect yet. We're working on it though, and it gets better, and better..........

Hey troops!

I just got back from dinner with WAT and his spousal unit!

So Cute!!!


...and his W is pretty good looking 2!

We had Thai food. Pretty funny, ac2ally. The menu had 0-3 peppers by the name of the dish, depending on hoti2de. Na2rally, I ordered the 3=pepper dish, WAT ordered 2, and his W ordered 1.

You guessed it, her's was the hottest, followed by WAT's, then mine! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


While at my sister's, we decided 2 go ahead and buy a scanner 2 scan some of the old slides and negatives she had from my dad's stuff. I was amazed at how well the scanner did at bringing out old detail in small (my dad had an old Agfa half=frame 35mm camera that I still have somewhere) slides.

In one, when it popped up on the screen, there was my mom (after the wedding, when she must have been about 25 yrs old, and some elderly lady in the background that must have been her grandmother! I'd never seen pictures of my great grandmother before, and this one's in color!

Also while at my sister's, we saw a couple of plays at the Blackfriar's theater in Staunton. If anybody lives within a 2ple hours of it, I strongly urge coming down for a play. it was very cool. They're even more picky about authenticity than the Cedar City folks, SS! (though we enjoy them as well).

I kept hoping it would snow while I was there, it was sure cold enough. But it waited until I left! Light, late this afternoon!

Oh well, guess I'll have 2 go back there soon...

I really enjoy the plays in Cedar, but they have advertised so much that it's hard to get in these days. Was it crowded at Blackfriar's?

Sounds like a great time 2long. I hope WAT is doing well these days.

I hope you are too.

SS

Hi SS:

Blackfriar's isn't as crowded as I remember the Globe in Cedar being last time we went. But one of the shows was part of a rehearsal by my sister's classmates. Open 2 the public, but not advertised as much as the regular shows.

Yep, I'm doing well. WAT seems 2 be doing fabulously, and I think has managed 2 convince me that I need 2 stop coming here in order 2 take my recovery 2 the next, glorious level.

I was just congra2lating myself at not having posted here in 4 days, but then I felt compelled 2 post on wrk's thread, because his sitch is so similar 2 one here about 6 years back that I thought he should be aware of. So I posted 2 him as Q, but that's still posting.

So, I reset my "clock" and will now go away again, 2 see if I can make it stick this time! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'll be sure and email you next time I can stop by on my way 2 OOSP for a chat or lunch or something.

Goodbye and the best of luck 2 you 2L...It's probably a decision for the best and one I should emulate. Participation here *can* reduce one's chances of having a full life, at least once recovered(assuming you haven't taken on therapy as an occupation or hobby). Besides after we're gone, ***edit****a chance to start a party/celebration thread. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> He wants the "oldtimers" gone, at least we can make him happy <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Maybe we can all get together for a "New Horizons" party on 14 July 2015!

no, I don't want the oldtimers gone....just people that like to start trouble and run their mouth HP. As for 2long, I hope he stays.

P.S. Clock reset! 0 days since my last post!
