Hey Billy,

I agree that they want us to stay close to them. I don't think that they are nearly as sure of their actions as they claim to be.

My W was never much of a drinker. I'm not either for that matter. However once she latched on to her bad friend she seemed to want to drink more. Once she left, the drinking seemed to increase quite a bit. I would go to her place and there would be a bunch of empties on the porch from the night before and usually she would be working on a glass of wine. I've never seen her drunk when I'm there but I think she has gone from having a drink once a week before she left to drinking daily.

I have noticed a few people talking about how their spouses look like they have aged. I haven't noticed this in my W. However, she does have a tendency to look down. I've even asked her a couple of times if she is ok because she looked like she was about to start crying. She always says she is fine and then passes it off as something else.

Ws severence ran out about a week ago. By the sounds of it, she didn't save any of it and she is basically out of money. Now she is going on EI and it only pays about 1/4 of what she was making and only lasts 6 months I believe. Basically her stress just increased exponentially. She has a few job leads but nothing has materialized yet.

It's good to hear from you. I hope all is well. Don't stay away so long next time.

I was having a conversation the other day with a woman from one of my suppliers that was transfered here from Vancouver. She has lived there her entire life and was terrified of what the winter was going to bring. The temp got down to 5c the other day so she went out and bought every winter utensil she could find. She listed off about 5 or 8 things to me that she bought for her car. It was very amusing. I'm half expecting to see a car in their parking lot with chains on the tires.
