Nope. No good bye, no nothing! But in a surprise move, she called me on my cell phone last night as I was driving home from the airport with my Aunt who arrived at the same airport a few hours before the au pair left. My wife exclaimed in her most cheerful voice. "Did you get <au pair> off safely and get <Aunt> in without any problems?" Then she went on to report about our son's good day taking exams and about what he's doing to prepare for today's exams and blah, blah, blah like everything was more than normal! She said our son wanted to come home to see <aunt> instead of staying with her for the night, but she seemed very agreeable with this - son is rerally close to <aunt>. It's like my huge LB disappeared. I just am not going to try to figure it out. (I hope SKM reads this.) Anyway, she brought him home, but did not come in the house to greet my Aunt. I swear I am not making this up. I am not crazy. I check my oil with every fill up. Pickles are not fruit.<P>Dave

Classic stuff. What else can I say. They are all magicians....they make LBs vanish. I can relate to not coming inside to say hi to the Aunt. Mine won't show her face around a list of people. Hasn't spoke to my family since even before the official request to separate, but of course that is my fault. I don't get it because judging by her cell phone bill, she certainly knows how to dial a phone number.<P>Anyway, I'm glad you got a cheery call. Must take a bit of the load off of you concerning the LB.

Yea, Rick, it does, but she could be faking the niceness for her own twisted reasons. I still believe I have a lot of ground to make up for the LB.<P>How's your hot babe? Wanna double with me and Sandra?<P>Dave
