Hi Gno. Just wanted to check up on you. How is everything going with you? Are you still on vacation? How was your Xmas?
You stopping by my thread on Xmas really did make me smile. I felt I was dying and reading your post did make a positive note on my day. Just thought I'd share.
With those of you I've chatted with in the alt, it's been great. I'm doing OK. I'm still at the beach and have decided to extend my stay here for a few more days until after the New Year. I don't feel like being around her right now.
The weather here is kind of unstable. It can go from sunshine to rain within an hour. It's OK, oddly enough the weather is sort of following my emotions. The purge is going and its becoming easier to "deaden" my feelings. I'll only know the final results when I return, probably on the 2nd.
In the meantime, the DJ in me has decided to "re-mix" an old song from my teens... here goes, hope you get a kick out of this one.

In 2009 Wed-nam seemed like just another foreign war, but it wasn't. It was different in many ways, and so were those who did the fighting.
In World War II the average age of the combat spouse was 46... In Wed-nam he was 39. In inininininin Wed-nam he was 39.
The heaviest fighting of the past two weeks continued today twenty false SMILES northwest of Spouse-gone
In Wed-nam the left-behind-spouse typically served a twelve month tour of duty but was exposed to hostile fire almost everyday
Th-Th-Th-Th- Thirty-nine. 39. Th-Thirty-nine.
In Spouse-gone: a U.S. conjugal spokesmen said today more than seven hundred twenty troops were killed last week in that sensitive rural area throughout all of South Wed-nam.
The enemy lost a total of two thousand six hundred eighty-nine spouses.
All those who remember the war They won't forget what they've seen.. Destruction of spouses in their prime whose average was thirty-nine
According to a Veteran's Administration study Half of the Wed-nam combat veterans suffered from what psychiatrists call Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Many vets complain of alienation, rage, or guilt Some succumb to suicidal thoughts
Eight to Ten years after coming home almost eight-hundred-thousand men are still fighting the Wed-nam War
