Hi LL,

I do like your approach on the doctor bit. But he is also really bad about not making any kind of calls. What if I asked if he has thought about seeing the doctor and then if he says yes I offer to either give him the phone number or make the call for him? still I would leave it alone and let him take care of himself

We have natural gas and the only two gas items in the house are the furnace which has been on for a few weeks now so shouldn't be it and that new fireplace I had installed and it is supposed to have some sort of built in sensor on it so that if it has a problem it shuts itself down. might not be working properly...I'd keep a nose on it and if you're still smelling it or concerend then start calling.

That is why now I am sort of thinking it surely isn't gas. Just not sure what is causing it and I wish it were warmer so I could open the windows and air the house out today.

just to be safe I would call your local gas company anyway. Do you have oil heat or propaine heat or natural gas? depending on wich one you would (I assume) call or rule out different things. You don't neccessarily need to call your own gas co. but I think just to be safe you should have it checked out. better safe than sorry.

hey wait a min...didn't I just treat you the way I told you not to treat david?

Ok, clue for me into the way I think I guess. I did not take what you just said as controlling at all I took it as expressing an opinion or suggestion and concern. So how do you know the difference? I think that is where I really get myself into trouble. here's a thought...men and women are very different (ok I know people are different) when I go out...I like it when h calls me however when h goes out my calling him is sometimes taken as controling or intrusive..so it's a fine line to walk..why not just follow davids lead on things for a while don't make offers to do things or do things for him unless he asks.

Not sure how to go about dbing her exactly! LOL answer the phone in an up beat manner and not allow her to drag you into conversations about the misery stories she hears...just let her get it out say oh that's sad and then move on to something positive even if it's hey I watered my plants today.

Definitely giving the rodeo idea some thought. She had called me Thursday night about the horse show yesterday. It is pretty big show and held in the coliseum at the KY State Fairgrounds. I have shown in it once or twice years ago! The guy who rode my horses for years mom said was there yesterday and he and his wife asked about me and told her to load me up and bring me down sometime.

I guess I just feel awkward going out and about right now. Except with my really close friends who know what is going on with David. sometimes it's best to be around those that don't know what's going on then ya can't wallow That was one of the reasons I didn't try to take off work and go with her yesterday. Plus going to a show that I have shown at and my horses have been shown at before I was afraid would make me miss my horses. Just being home and not going to any shows I am not missing them too bad. But think I need more time to be ready to hit the shows they used to go too so that they don't upset me. is there anyway you can get involved with hourses without having your own? I volunteered once at a horse farm.

Why am I embarrassed? Because this is my second marriage and I feel like I failed when David filed for D and walked out on me? life is life and there's no reason to be embarrassed about it. If people wanna judge or look at you funny just give 'em one a these

Not sure on my answer to that one.
