Yes, check out those battery operated weed eaters, they work great! I didn't know re-stringing was so easy, I knew my h used to have trouble with the one he had but it used gas & was heavy.

Am I standing??? That is a good question, yes I have been for a long time now & part of me still feels like he will be back & if you had asked me a year or even 6 months ago if I would have taken him back, the answer would have been yes, it would have been really hard work but yes I would have. Now, since they have adopted this baby, I just don't know! Not that I don't love kids & I would love to have a girl but that would mean he would have to be in contact with this ow all the time b/c of the kid, this woman is crazy! I don't say that lightly either, she really has some mental problems. So my answer is, I really don't know right now. I want to keep standing but I'm not sure I should. Whew, typing that just now was pretty hard!

You know today I was dusting, I have a little photo library that has about 4 different books to it. I set them up for our dogs, 2 which have died now but each book was dedicated to all photos taken of one dog, of course our pictures were in there also. When I saw my ex's picture, in the past it has upset me but today #1, I could see how happy he looked, his eyes, his face, just total contentment, in the pictures I've seen of him since he has been with ow, that is not there, very empty, sad looking, & #2, I missed him but I wasn't sad, as if I'm going to see him again. I don't know, it was just a weird thing today. Maybe I'm trying to read stuff in there that is not & I'm trying to act as if he is not coming back, but I guess a part of me still wishes he would... but I also want the man in those pictures back & I'm not sure he is or will ever be that man again. That is scary!

Thanks for asking, I guess it made me really think about it!
