No, if you look at the satellite picture, it looks like we're having severe weather in Tampa. But it was just an overcast day with a little drizzle. The media does get awfully excited by these storms. My daughter's characterization of the New Orleans news media is accurate. That is why people resisted evacuating during Katrina. Of course they are more cooperative now.
And my son said that the waves in Clearwater were supposed to be waist to chest high according to the surf report. He said they were more like knee to hip height. (And he's only 5'6".) If the weather forecasters were not prone to hyperbole, it would be better.
I thought that H's fog was lifting this summer, but I think he gone back deep into it.
Both of my girls made it home safely yesterday afternoon. They didn't ride up to the game together for the weekend, but did ride home together.
I wasn't home when they got home because I was invited to a cookout. When I got there the host asked me if I had talked to H. I told him I had called H to tell him about a house problem, but he didn't answer or return my call. The host said he had also tried to call my H but he didn't answer his call either.
When I got home DD17 wasn't at home so I called DD20 to see if she was at their house((H and DD20 live together). She said that she was. DD20 said her dad wasn't there and wondered if I knew where he was. She said she had not talked to him since Friday night when she called to let him know she had made it safely to the college. Sad thing is he never once even called and checked on DD17. It's sad that both of his girls were gone for the entire weekend 4 hours away and apparently he didn't worry about them at all and no one knew where he was.
I was talking to a friend Saturday. Her daughter also went on the trip with my DD17. She said that when DD17 was at her house the other night. DD remarked about how she had not talked to her dad in over a week and half. Sad....

It certainly does seem to be late in life to make the decision that he doesn't want to be a family man. It is his loss though. I'm sure he will find that other than some financial help, the girls don't really need him.
DD20 came over today. I asked her if her dad finally got home. She said he had been at the lake and dropped his phone in the lake. Okay, that explains why he didn't call on his phone, but it seems like he should have called from his friend's phone and told them to call that number if they needed him... Also it would have been thoughtful of him to let his daughters know where he was for the weekend, he didn't even tell them he was going out of town. I guess he knows if they need anything, Mom will be there for them.

Our H's sound a lot alike that is for sure but, you already mentioned that. Mine is scared right now I think, just hope that he isn't trying to go in the same circle again. Over my dead body! not happenin!

JAK, I think your H is waking up though. It seems that he isn't entirely out of his fog, although he does seem to know what is "right", but not entirely there yet. I think your push will wake him up.
Stay strong.
Hugs, Yoyo

Just not sure how much pushing I can or want to do YOYO. Or what to do next. Hwe needs to want to work on this and maybe talking to our friend is a start and thats the only reason I haven't left yet.
Don't even know if I belong in piecing.

JAK, I do believe that there comes a time when the LBS just gets tired when it doesn't seem their WAS doesn't seem to be putting forth as much effort. Only you can decide that. I'm sure you have set boundaries and told him that he must put forth effort to hold your marriage together.
I read once that a marriage only works if both partners put forth 100%. We tend to think that it is 50/50 relationship. But we all know that 50% is a failing grade. Is your H only putting forth 50%? Perhaps you should remind him of this.
