Aside to MissLoonieScott:

You're really a quick study grasshopper. kiss
When posting to newbies, if they refuse to READ the effin' MB concepts, I start answering their questions with "You first" or "What do you think?".

Lazy people can never muster the rigours of marriage recovery anyway.

Thanx, for both the praise and the changing of the American for me. laugh

I am doing what I can.

I didn't even start posting until a couple of weeks after I arrived on these fine doorsteps. I'm a SLOW reader. HEHEHEHEHE

Nothing has changed in my sitch Nova. My WH is still living with POSOW(well on Sunday he was Teeheee). I don't really see a change to my sitch for a while. (No Pep, that one doesn't count either :P ). I am sure that if my sitch changes, it will be plastered all over this thread. HEHEHEHE

Aw, heck! Maybe you need to just call up your WH and tell him, "Get yo' @$$ home right now, cuz I can't afford to fill up the pickle jar with loonies!" wink

Just kidding....he'd probably think YOU were the loonie one instead of him! LOL!

I was watching LOST and I heard Locke say something that I thought kind of summed up Plan B.

That is how I feel, like I am just waiting. Great analogy.
I did start reading Mimi's thread, got to page 10 so far - I am not doing too bad in plan B. Thanks for bumping that to me.
Hope you had a great day today!

There are so many on here that I would love to meet one day. You are all an inspiration to me, whether you have recovered your M or not. I hope to be like Mimi and Sexy Mama Bear (minus her personal A). Both are simply amazing stories. If they can do it, there is hope for all of us!

Ontario isn't that far from me, Scotty...though I guess that would now require a passport, which I do not have.

I have seen pictures somewhere on the forums of little groups of people who have met each other. I can't seem to find them since the great crash last year, but it seems like sometimes, people do get to meet each other.

I'm feeling an Olive Branch Moment coming on...

Tape a loonie to your card, maybe with a little note like, "I put one of these in a jar every time I think about you. Hurry home before I go broke! smile "

which loonie? rotflmao

(Hopefully context made it clear which loonie should be taped to the card.)

I'm sure plenty of people wonder why I keep muttering, "drop the loonie," and then snicker.
