Haven't posted in a while, see the old thread locked up, thought I'd start a new one. The move preparations from HI to NJ goes well, looks like mid-June for the move. S16 is ready to go in May, S14 still wants to go to CO but is also ready to leave HI in May. Sewed on 1 Apr. Had shoulder surgury on Mar 23rd, hurts like heck, especially now after physical therapy.
On the ex-front, spoke with her last Sat from a resort S16/S14 & I were at about college $s for D19 that xw had taken and not given to D19. About 2-3 mins into the conversation she starts the water works about how tight money is as a single income person. Felt like telling her that it's her choice and she can change it but didn't. Just told her that according to the agreement she is suposed to be giving even more and to just pay the lesser amount, what she owes.
Afterwards got to thinking, she does not seem very happy like she had planned to be and that the family back together would make everone more happy. Also thought about the ex's as friends dilema (she wants to be friends, I say we are not and that can't work) and came to this conclusion. Thinking outside the box came up with a new category "more than friends" which is more than "just friends" but not married. I mean, why get hung up on labels, right? After 23 yrs of as close as two can get to be grouped with someone met a few times can't be appropriate. Maybe ther is another word to use? or make up a new word? Anyway, I sent her an e-mail proposing that idea but she won't get it for a while being out of town for two weeks. We'll see what she says, if anything, when she gets back. After that comes her birthday, she sent me a card in Mar so suppose should do at least the same for her this month. S14 went to CO for a week for spring break and said he only saw om twice briefly so at least she didn't follow through with her stating that I can't stop her from having the worm spend time with my sons when they are there.
Well, that's about it for the update, don't see many of the familiars posting much anymore but maybe they are out there reading or maybe I havn't figured out this new style of web board yet. Anyway, take care all and will get back here when time permits. RonJon
