Hi Samantha,<P>I'm glad to hear things are going well for you. I pray each night for all of us MBers, and I'm going to light some candles now. I agree that this forum is not the loving, supportive place that it has been in the past, but WE can influence it for the better!<P>NYNEVE,<P>Did I just catch a reference to your HUSBAND? How did that get by me. Details, girl, details! I ADORE a good wedding story!<P>Peppermint

Well my sweet, SWEET Peppermint, <P>It was a quiet, lovely service, with a minister and just two witnesses.<P>I said the words ~~ and LISTENED to what I was saying. I cried my eyes out.<P>It was perfectly lovely. <p>[This message has been edited by Nyneve (edited June 29, 2001).]

Okay .. CANDLES people! and if you can't locate a candle then flip your bic.<P>Jo

And if you don't have a bic, rub two twigs together, or flints, or thighs with pantyhose on them (that always works for me!) <p>[This message has been edited by Nyneve (edited June 29, 2001).]

Jo,<P>He moved at the beginning of April. Part of me suspects that once he has established residency in the state, he will be filing from there. FL is a no-fault state, and one can establish residency after being there for only 6 months. That will be after September. Another part of me figures that if he really wanted to be divorced, he would have found a way in the last 3 years to get divorced... I guess I am just going to try to be ready for anything.<P>I don't think slug will measure up in the long run, either. <P>I haven't been posting much here as I've been pretty busy - but I do read a lot of the posts. I've spent some time over on P/C recently because of the stuff that has been going on over there, and it is nice to see some of the other people from the other forums pop in from time to time over there. Those folks are amazing! What they are dealing with - well, let's just say that for one crazy moment I thought that slug might have been pregnant and I nearly had a stroke - and I am barely exaggerating that.<P>Thanks for your kind thoughts - they make me feel all warm and ooshy inside! <P>------------------<BR>terri<BR><B>Courage</B><P>Whatever course you decide upon,<BR>there is always someone to tell you<BR>that you are wrong.<P>There are always difficulties arising<BR>which tempt you to believe that your <BR>critics are right.<P>To map out a course of action <BR>and follow it to an end <BR>requires courage.<P><I>Ralph Waldo Emerson</I>

No no no...<P>Sheryl, if it's okay and I'm not prying, I'd love to hear about it too. Big Congrats Honey!<P>Jo

Okay, I did something I don't like to do usually, and edited these posts (I usually do it only for my learning disabled spelling probs - and that's no joke).<P>I went ahead and wrote a little blip on Peppermint's original question.<P>I'm sorry about that...<p>[This message has been edited by Nyneve (edited June 29, 2001).]

Terri,<P>I agree, if your H wanted a D, he could have had one a long time ago. I fear he's a terminal fence sitter.<P>What do you want now Terri? Do you have a plan for you? I feel silly asking you that cuz now that I'm D I'm just trying to adjust to the idea I am no longer married. It ain't easy after so many years.<P>How my H's D came to be is somewhat strange. (I call it "his" D because it IS) He filed in December, I was pretty freaked, as you may remember. Well, things just seem to ride for a while and I learned that he told his attroney to wait until December 2001 to finalize. In WA State it's only a 90 day waiting period. We were well beyond 90 days. He continued to try contact (Plan B). It came to a point where he called so much and emailed in attempt to get me all worked up again, while still with OW. So .. I called my attorney asking for an update. Once I did that they realized our D was well over the 90 days and started the ball rolling again, that was in late May. By mid-June I was D. Ughhhhhhh. Hurt like hell, but you know what ... I felt some relief. I still have those really bad days, looking around the house with everything here just as it was when he left in Apil of 2000. <P>And he is still trying contact with me. Unbelievable. He knows very well what it would take for me to talk to him, I'm thinking eventually he'll give up. <P>Anyhoo, I'm glad to be back here. I need this place. I'm still pretty mixed up about who I am now. And I have some anger and resentment I haven't dealt with. So my hopes are to heal and try and help others thru this. I did learn alot from MB. And I feel it's time to give back.<P>Best,<BR>Jo

Did all the candles blow out? <P>We've got to make this an ETERNAL FLAME!!<p>[This message has been edited by Nyneve (edited June 29, 2001).]

An oldie and complete lurker lights a candle in San Francisco, for a group of people always in my thoughts. I've seen many, many people pass this way, some names long since forgotten, like myself. <P>Nyneve(NB), I too am a remarried MB-er. I've been alone in that status for a long,long time. It's the one forum yet to be created I think. What should it be called? I find the MB principles awesome for a new marriage. I am in an excellent, happy place thanks to Dr. Harley and the amazing people at this site. <P>Terri and all you other wonderful ladies,a hug and a sincere hope that you find your peace, whatever that may be.<P>V.

WOW InShock,<P>Honey, I don't know what we'd call it (I'm too tired to be pithy - however <I>Marriage Believers</I> comes to mind ) but I'll tell ya one thing -- I could leap through this screen and KISS YOU!!<P>Congrats on your marriage too!!

<B>Good morning everyone</B><P>Just popping in for a minute to bring this to the top.<P>I will be lighting a new batch of candles as soon as I finish here. <P>It is so great to see everyone who has stopped by. I will get back later when I have a moment. Right now I have to take my daughter to her boyfriends house to help set up his graduation party. It's going to be a long busy weekend around here. It's our annual town Fourth of July Jubilee. Complete with a carnival and Fireworks. There really awesome.<P>I only have a moment now, child is breathing down my back. I have to say <B>InShock!</B> Wow, hi there. My goodness I haven't seen you in so very long of a time. How nice to see you sweetie. I was so happy to read your news! <P><B>Sheryl </B> and everyone else who hung in last night, thank you so much for keeping this going. You are again one in a million, maybe even gazillion. <P>I will be back to properly respond to one and all. Be patient with me please. It may take me a while. My idea is to keep this thread going and the candles burning for days and days and days. <P>Okay off to light the candles.<P><B>This little light of mine.<BR>I'm going to let it shine.<BR>This little light of mine.<BR>I'm doing to let it shime.<BR>Let it shine, let it shine,<BR>let is shine.</B><P>Hugs all,<P>------------------<BR><B>God bless you and all of us.

I guess I would also consider myself an oldtimer. Though I am no longer in the process of trying to build my marriage, I still lurk some to see how everyone else is doing. Here's to all the BS's moving on to a better place in life, with or without the WS. <P>TM (aka Trying to move on)

I literally let my candle burn until it could burn no more last night! I had to replace it this morning!! <P>I just got offa another of my rants about weight/attractive spouse needs... and I'm whipped emotionally. <P>I am an enigma I guess... want love, harmony, peace, unicorns and rainbows... and then I get so pi$$ed about some things and can't seem to reign all the love back in. Help me guys, I want to stay away from those kinds of posts...<P>PEACE... WE NEED PEACE... <P>Lighting candle right now!!

<B>Sheryl</B><P>Me too. Mine burned all night and I have a new batch going. Going to keep it up til who knows when.<P>Now you've got orders from me, stay away from that thread! Okay.<P>Love ya honey,<P><B>Come on everybody. We need joiners now! This works best in numbers. The more the better. PLEASE, post, light your candle for the cause. There is so much power in prayer.</B><P>------------------<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!

I'm a little late on this one, 'cos of my computer problems - but I'm lighting a candle now. But I'm going to sing my No.1 favourite hymn instead...<P>Make me a channel of your peace,<BR>Where there is hatred let me bring your love;<BR>Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord;<BR>And where there's doubt, true faith in you.<P>Chorus:...<BR>Oh Master grant that I may never seek,<BR>So much to be consoled as to console,<BR>To be understood as to understand,<BR>To be loved as to love with all my soul.<P>Make me a channel of your peace,<BR>Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope;<BR>Where there is darkness, only light;<BR>And where there's sadness, ever joy.<P>(Chorus)<P>Make me a channel of your peace,<BR>It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,<BR>In giving to all men, that we reeive,<BR>And in dying that we're born to eternal life.<P>(Chorus)<P>Peace, Love and Hope to you all,<BR>Paint x
