Thanks, Donna, WELCOME BACK HILL! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?? (Board burnout?) Nice job, Hill. Well put. Thanks for the reinforcemnt Happy!

She will come back with an "October (December?) Surprise". She's too smart, aggressive, controlling, angry and "Lawyered-up" to let this pass.

The comment in her email to me about "having the best interest of the kids in mind" sent me over the edge. I had to hit her nose with the newspaper on that one. I think she fully understands my line "don't go there with me".

Although I have mentioned "Smarmylawyerboss" to the mediator and my attorney, I NEVER mention it to her. It's the "BLUE WHALE" (not even the elephant! in the room!

Here's the sad news. D18 called me from college 3 hours away, crying and begging to come home on Saturday because she had the flu. I told her to go to the emergency room, because I thought this was yet another one of her schemes.

I immediately thought "OK, "patying" friends have arranged to come home from school for the Thanksgiving break one day earlier, and this is a set-up. Remember three weks ago, she stole about $100 in loose change from me, and DENIED IT!

Well, I finally cracked and got her. She has a raging strept throat and a stomach (Yech!) virus. I feel bad, but I can't trust her on anything. I need to tell her why I was reluctant to get her.

G'morning Mattie!
