OMG! Phil's getting a sense of humor back! It's a miracle!!

Really??? Dude was a liar. Well I stand corrected. I was wrong. Let this be a lesson, it isn't that hard to admit you are wrong.


Goodnight for real

No Hoosier, I think the text from her was a test to see if my texting was working. Because she knows my phone is broke. Then she can use it to her advantage.

Hide behind text. Text me at weird hours wanting favors. Not answering her phone because she is somewhere she knows I would not approve.

Text me to pick up the kids... Etc...

That's why I went dark on it. When she first left it was nice, because I was getting the text. Good night I love you.

Then I was advised against the night texting, which is probally the one time we had any connection. Then I lost it because I tried to go dark.

Then she go worse. She because super dark. I doubt I was even dark at all.

Even tonight, I'm kicking myself. Should have just texting good night.

Remember that "act as if" thing? Act as if she's being nice by saying good night, not that she has ulterior motives even if she does.

If you want to DB, that is.

Dang. Guess I spoke too soon.

No, I'm thinking its a repeat. She would only really text me good night if I had our son. I have our son tonight. He's sleeping.

If I didn't have the kids she would not initate contact. Her son does not want to be with her. He would rather be here. She makes him feel guilty.

She wanted him tonight. She said in passing, well maybe you will want to go out tonight. I didn't bite. That probally means she wants to go out tomorrow.

Ulterior motives she has... She is off tomorrow and works Sunday from 3 till close. She wants to run out tomorrow. So she wanted me to go out tonight, so she could run out tomorrow and she wants to keep that from me.

I think she dropped the kids off at her mothers last week and went out. Hoping I would act like a fool and try and chase her down. Like she wants the drama of me out of control trying to figure out where she is. So i can burst into the place and cause a scene. So she can say see, see what an a$$hole he is.

Trust me, she did it to me.

I was working on the house all day. I went to a local resturant bar. I ate dinner, and had a couple of suds. I was finishing up my sud halfway. Watching some baseball or something. She came bursting into the bar and told me to get home. I was an alchololic etc... All I did was eat dinner and drank two beers. I couldn't have drank anymore if I wanted to. I just ate a giant fish sandwhich, with an order of fries. I was struggling finishing the beer.

And now Amy, now and only now, I think I'll go to bed. Because nobody told me too. I'm not a 15 year locked up in someone's compound.

Hmmm--and I spent so much time trying to get that first paragraph to be non-confrontational.

Spider, eh? Well, that's a first. I've never been called a spider before. Oh, I forgot--you don't call people names....

Phil, dude....
Where in my post did I ever say that the Catholic Church is not true? I didn't! In fact, I believe I spent quite a few words saying I wasn't challenging that, but only your way of communicating. And then you go and prove me right. You can tell it like it is and be heard, or you can tell it like it is and p*ss people off so they want no part of what you say. Which would you think would be more effective communication? It's not even liberal bias, Phil--it's just diplomacy! People will understand what you're saying so much better if you say it respectfully.

Here's a tip--if you want to be taken seriously, it might be a good idea not to use words like "idiotic." Now there's an example of not being respectful in your choice of words. Just in case you were wondering.

Why do I post to you, especially on matters of religion? I'm just defending the faith. As for being an amateur theologian and knowing more than the experts--Yes, I'm sure you're correct. No doubt about it.

I am a Catholic and have pretty much acted like a Catholic (and I have about 2300 witnesses who will back me up on that at my parish). Nevertheless, Phil, I will likely soon be divorced. Whether or not I go along with it. I so wish you were right about that.

hey Phil...if you are referring to me...I am not a he!!!

reading doesn't an expert make

living it everyday does

the Founder of our faith taught us all some very important lessons about judging others, about putting others down to raise ourselves up, about listening with an open mind and heart.

Jesus didn't get people to listen to His message by telling them they are ignorant or by stomping away and throwing tantrums, telling them they could never talk to Him again.

Jesus drew the masses because He made them feel worthy. He made them feel love. His followers weren't the high muckity mucks. They were the down trodden, they were the cast offs. He showed them His glory and they were willing to see it.

Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooosier came to you. Quiet and humble. Asking you to please hear with an open heart. AmyC has come to you, humbled, asking you to hear. I have come to you, humbled, asking you to listen (which is a big deal and I had to pray about it which might not matter to you but it does to me)

We have been met with insults, barbs and hard-heartedness. We keep doing it because of our beliefs Phil. We do it to try to show you God's love.
