Ok WAT, I heard that. My excuse is legitimate. I was at work. Don't want to be posting embarressing notes on my work PC. <P>I guess now, we will all just view you in a bit different manner. Instead of the mild mannered H, you are pictured as this sea faring boaty Pirate or Popeye ala natural' <BR>(hey, I don't have my key list and can only remember a few symbols) ha ha!!!<P>I am glad you saved the doggie issue for another time. You are wise to be patient. No use putting more issues in the middle of this big one. One thing at a time. We will all be sitting on pins and needles waiting for your update. <P>Your reception over the water sounds sooo romantic. Maybe those memories need to be stirred up with your wife. Like your son could let her know about your sailing plans? Hm..... stragetically placed messages (not from you - due to plan B) may work a charm..... <P>If you every claim I gave you this idea, I will deny ever knowing about the boat, the U, the aloha shirt, hair status and all your stories and hillarious jokes. Just kidding.<P>Take Care and have some fun in the sun!<P>L.<BR> <BR><p>[This message has been edited by Orchid (edited July 08, 2001).]

Hi Dave,<P>I'm late in arriving to see your status, but I'm at my parents place now, just checking up on things. Congratulations on joining the gang.<P>Glad that you are feeling relief. You may or may not get the response that I got. Just be prepared, because in my case, I was a bit unprepared for the barrage of attempts at talking to me, even though I had been warned about this kind of stuff. But you may be right....in my case, there were alot of brief conversations with my wife essentially every day, so it probably took her by surprise. But that didn't last long....cause now there is never any attempt, which is peaceful.<P>I was thinking about you and wondering if you sent the letter, the whole time driving here. Glad that it is going well. You know how to reach me.<P>There really is a sense of being able to just move forward and focus on yourself, without worrying what our WS are thinking. Just like all the experts told us many times!<P>Take care...I'll be on but just less.

WAT-sorry I'm late, just saw this & wanted you to know I'm thinking about you. You sound like you're doing well, a little pressure taken off maybe? Keep us updated, you will all be in my prayers.<P>No comment about the underwear thing!!!! Except that you're still really, really funny!

WHOA! WAT, no tan lines??? Okay okay ... no undies and no tan lines. We're startin to think you're a wild one, WAT!<P>lol<BR>~Jo

Dave,<P>You stud you. Sorry to be so late responding have been out of commission for a few days. Best of luck with the Plan B it seems it is time. Hang in there my man, this all will work out as it should. You have done an amazing job of hanging in on this situation so be proud of yourself.<P>God Bless You and Your Son,<P><BR>JL
