hey Nicky....<P>where's YOUR follow-up???<P>LOL<P> <P>

Hey Dylan,<P>I really like the counselor idea for you, I can SO see you doing that!<P>Hey......maybe you can take the profits from your book and use that for college. I am totally serious about the success of a book. Heck, if that Bridget Jone's Diary thing can be a best seller, your story should do ASTRONOMICALLY WELL. You really ought to think about it.<P>If you girls are getting serious about a get-together, you ought to come on down to the sunny south. I'll get a beachhouse for a week, and we can lie in the sun, drink cold drinks, and have a blast. SERIOUSLY!<P>Think about it. Dylan and NB could escape the "GREAT WHITE NORTH", and Nicole needs a break from exams. We could round up Lori and Lor and a few others and have a "girl's WEEK out".<P>You just say the word and I am renting the house!<P>Love you all!<P>Peppermint

Hello SWEET Peppermint and Nicki, Dylan...<P>... and heartache (jeepers, I know I knew your name, Heartache, but I've forgotten - Forgive me )...<P>A GIRL'S ONLY TRIP!!<P>I'm SO THERE!!!<P>Now where did I put that job to pay for it?

Yes Dylan,<P>I was totally serious about the trip thing.<BR>I even have it in writing from Arik in the form of an "I'll miss you" email I received after he left.<P>Sorry about being so long in getting back but I HAD to study last night and then I just crashed.<BR>I have a huge pile of clothes on my bed that needs to be folded.

That should get me somewhere!!!<P>Love to you all!!!<P>Nicole <P><BR><p>[This message has been edited by Patient Love (edited April 27, 2001).]

<B>Dylan</B><P>Well, here the other day it looked like we were going to have to hear from you via <B>New Begining</B>? Then you sneak to a friend’s house and abscond the computer to post on the really huge <B>GQII</B> thread. Now look at you girl, you have outwitted the "Big Guys" who make the mega bucks on the web and you're here! Yeah, and may I say PTL? Thanks to your "God and Goddess" just in case! (I just loved the way you put that in my e-mail you wrote me!)<P>I am so happy you and <B>Duet</B> are both doing so well and your marriage is too! Honk horn, jump up and down, scream and shout, "The Good Guys are winning, the Good Guys are winning!" <P>Sorry that the crud that surrounds your journey continues to be tough for the two of you. But, it is so much nicer to go through the "Crud" when we have our spouses and the marriage is in tact, isn't it? I know I am one happy camper these days. To think way back then when we doubted or felt that we could never reach that point? Again PTL! Our spouses and we have come a long way and looking back I am so happy that hubby and I decided to fight the good and right fight. I think that is why I try so hard with the newbies to encourage them. As bad as it was and as bleak as recovery looked for our marriage "It is do-able." My husband and I are living proof of that.<P>In closing I am sorry I am late in replying to the wonderful news of your Internet Access. I have been busy all week doing two things on this board. One was posting on <B>the Card Fairie</B> betting thread of <B>Medic's</B> along with the huge <B>GQII</B> thread of <B>New Beginings</B>. The other was a finger-numbing attempt to ward of the evil spirits that were penetrating the <B>Pregnancy/Child</B> forum. You'll forgive me right?<P>Oh wait, not closing yet! What do you mean you aren't <B>the Card Fairie?</B> I was betting big time on you. Now I have to tell hubby that we are going to loose the farm because I went to a loan shark and put up the house! Oh my! He's not going to be pleased. <P>Much love dear lady, keep posting and updating.<P><B>mega {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Dylan}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}</B><P><BR>------------------<BR><B>God bless you and all of us. We are all going to make it, all of us! With God on our side we can't lose! What God has joined together let no man put asunder. <P>Samantha</B><p>[This message has been edited by A blessed Samantha (edited April 27, 2001).]

ok ladies...looks like a party may be happening on this thread....<P>as per usual, you'll have to start it, as I have started a new job working the night shift at a local bakery....and I gotta go....<P>I should be back at 1:45am my time (12:45am marriagebuilders board time). Nicky, that's 11:00pm-ish your time...will you still be up?? I need to address the last post you made...<P>and I will be back for you too, Samantha....lol<P>'god and goddess'...lol...I cannot believe you remembered that!! I tell ya, sometimes being a pagan christian can be downright weird!!!<P>love to you all, I want my cabana boy to look like antonio banderas, and save me the lime jell-o shooters....and somebody keep Nicky off the furniture this time....just look at those scratches on the dining table!!!...or, don't let her wear heels!!!<P><BR> <P><BR>much love, see you soon.......<P>Dylan<P>------------------<BR>"The journey into darkness has been long and cruel, and you have gone deep into it."<BR>~ A Course in Miracles

Dylan,<P>Just for you I will stay up and return at the aforementioned time.<P>I'll be there will bells on!!<P>I'm still pondering who my cabana/beck and call boy should look like - I think I'm leaning towards Keano Reeves (did you girls catch him in The Matrix? ) or maybe Johnny Depp (Chocolate OMG!!!!! ) J/K oh course!!<P>Ready and raring to go!!<BR>Catchya later<p>[This message has been edited by Patient Love (edited April 27, 2001).]
