Your thread is locked out...I suppose you know that...
Funny thing about not posting is that for me, it just sort of happens. Sometimes you need to be here and sometimes the days just pass by.
You know I could as easily say I don't belong here...I really do think any chance of D in our M has been "busted". (most certainly as far as the A's and all of that is concerned).
And yet sometimes you just need to bend some friendly ears!
And you're not "over" this whole part of your life..(as much as you fervently wish to be)...there's still loose ends to tie up...confusing contacts with D...you post as long as you feel you need to, hon.

I think it's part of that self protection mode that HAD to gear up (for the first time in my life) two years ago. It's okay, though, it kind of reminds me that I'm NOT as dependent as I once thought.
I do this too sometimes...it's just a component of reminding myself that I will be ok no matter what happens!

Yup, "a bit" is about all I have...Dr. Phil in 10...
Hi all, things continue to sail smoothly here...and to my great relief, there's been some resolution with D and H too.
It's been a cold war over there for over a week. H went on "wife strike", D was a grumbling, sulky, anger ball.
H was very ill yesterday (possible food poisening, possibly ulcer acting up). D came into town to buy roofing, and came home in a foul mood...many things had gone wrong, he hadn't eaten...and H had the temerity to be on the couch with a bucket instead of at his side finding a steak from the freezer.
I just happened to call right after his tirade at her (he went out to the garage), but was on the line when he came back in and continued to rage at her...."Now I bent the gd...XYZ and thanks an F'ing lot for helping me out!"
People, I hate to say it, but I heard my old self there...taking frustrations out on the one closest to me.
H was in tears, ready to look up D lawyers...I told her she's got a lot of options before THAT!
WEll, well, turns out D didn't much like himself reflecten in MY eyes (or ears shall we say), as he asked who she'd been speaking with. D and I have a respect for each other, he values my opinion. We've spoken of our rather unseemly similarities often.
He finally apologized for how he's been behaving, and for the photos she'd found (he had no recall of printing them...alcoholic black out?).
H was so much more herself when she called today...seems like this immediate crisis has been handled...now for some changes.
OMG...I did a double take when I saw my thread on page 1...wasn't even going to post on it...
Thank you PAM..You remembered that we Canucks have to celebrate early.
It was a LOVELY day. My sister had all 15 of us over at her place, everyone brought a dish (my pasta shells of course!).
My 2 year old great nephew was a complete joy (and I don't generally like kids...oops, did I type that out loud? )
It was warm enough for me to eat outside on the deck (a definite rarety up here when we sometimes have SNOW for Thanksgiving).
On Sunday CJ and I did our annual Thanksgiving ride in the country to look at the leaves turning...lots more this year thanks to the warmer weather (sometimes they're bare by now).
It's a tradition we started years ago, nothing really planned, but it felt so nice. We gathered leaves and pressed them into one of my (many) extra text books. He'd helped me all morning with the Pasta Shells..I mean sous chef divine...all the prep, all the clean up...got the job done in half the time.
CJ was off early yesterday on a business trip (delivering training sessions actually) three hours north of us until Friday... the place is so small the motel has two TV channels and no phone in the room. He called tonight from the payphone outside, transport trucks zooming by.
Things are pretty good here...If I had the patience and motivation Sage does I could list lots of positives. Alas right now in addition to the kidney action of the last couple of weeks, I've come down with a cold.
