Separated for 3 weeks now

[Gardener]

Does anyone have any suggestions for me to get thru this ordeal?

Gardener had to go buy him his very own 2x4 since he hasn't wielded one in his one month here.

P Cater, you might consider showing some evidence of really reading - and actually considering - some of the many responses you've gotten, along with, perhaps - just perhaps - some mindful acknowledgement of and gratitude to the many who took their time and expended their effort in good faith to help you.

I skim and I see thoughtful questions to you, possible ideas for you, tons of been-there-done-that wisdom for you and whenever I do, I just know that the next post you make will be- ignoring the advice that preceeded it - yet again, something like:

'anybody got any advice?'

I feel like I'm watching that classic, original SNL sketch. There's some assertive, forceful knowing reply on one side and then the long, long pause while everyone waits for the inevitable to come from the other side: the low, meek voice that blatantly ignores what was just said and again repeats:

'candygram'

Sheesh. Yes, I know I'm dating myself land-sharkedly, and I know I'm inexplicably using the word "sheesh" lately.

But, sheesh...
