Sometimes I worry about you, Jack.

And IF you are serious....then that's yet another thing we have in common.

Did you think the tagline under "my" picture on the alt was just smoke and mirrors? wink

Hey I remember Lee Boyd Malvo.....I work in Bethesda and I can remember looking over my shoulder while pumping gas.

I have not played Battlefield II but I do love to play me some Modern Warfare 2. Can't wait till Black Ops come out.

Hi Matt- I went to go look at your thread and it seems that you've taken a little time off from the boards. How are things going for you?

Ah.

The "it" you meant was Battlefield 2.

I was reading between the wrong lines there for a sec....my bad.

Jimbo,

Been long time since being on the Alt. What is your motto de sotto there?

Matt-14.

Modern Warfare is cool...but I have a problem with a game where it is based off of location completion...for example. Say in Modern Warfare your in a terrorist village...now until you get to the building on the other side of the village you keep getting attacked...over and over and over...you could end up killing a billion Tangos basically wipe out the population of a small city in North America...and still not finish the level.

One of the BEST in game lines EVER comes from Battlefield when one character makes fun of Modern Warfare.

Quote:

Task Force 141 (from MODERN WARFARE 2)(along with the Heartbeat sensor) is jokingly referenced in a conversation between two characters in the 2010 video game Battlefield: Bad Company 2. After discovering the team has to go on a hunt for an HVT, Sarge says, "I should clear this with Braidwood," to which Sweetwater replies, "No! No, no, no! He'll just send some special ops douchebags, with wussy-ass heartbeat monitors on their guns, instead of us!"


I was laughing so hard I got killed a half a dozen times.

As for Lee Boyd Malvo...

I go sniper like, its cause society has collapsed and you ain't getting near mine or me. : )

Been a while without anything to report....

From direct contact anyway.

But last Sunday after our weekly family breakfast, we were all leaving the restaurant when my mom asked me how I was doing with my healing process. We talked a little bit and she told me that she was still very angry with XW. I found myself explaining to her that she shouldn't be mad at her because XW didn't leave just to hurt me. I found myself explaining MLC to her (again) and how XW was actually just trying to find herself. While I wasn't defending or condoning XW's actions, I was surprised that I was able to explain to my mom what was likely going on in my XW's life, based on how MLC works.

And I was 'rewarded' with some intel.

My mom told me that she originally wasn't going to tell me about this, but she shared with me that she had called my XMIL and talked with her for a while. The convo eventually steered toward the subject of my XW and the OM. And, while my mom told me that there wasn't anything specifically said by my XMIL about him, my mom got the distinct impression from her that my XMIL thought that the OM was a bum and that she couldn't fathom why my XW not only could not see this for herself, but would even seriously consider making the relationship permanent.

Of course, the "making the relationship permanent" bit came as no surprise. Her diary entries told me that she planned to marry the OM all along once the divorce was final, and the whole bit about her getting her birth cert and SS card back from me holds this out. (Although she still has yet to make an effort to get either of these items back from me, I found out that it is surprisingly easy to get a replacement birth cert in this state.)

Ironically, this intel, rather than sending me into a spiral, actually gave me hope and redoubled my ability to stand.

My XW is a highly intelligent woman. (or was, until the MLC hit anyway.) There was always a very, very small part of me that wondered if I was fooling myself into labeling this as MLC.

That part is totally gone now.

Because I know with a very high degree of probability that the OM is a loser, that she can't see it (both of which follow the MLC playbook here perfectly), and that, if she does M him, things are not likely to go well.

And she's already demonstrated that she has absolutely no problem with D.......

Hey Jimbo!

Thanks for the update my man.

I am still riding the highway and going through a few toll booths.

They have not eyes to see nor ears to hear...we do not hold the power to helping them to see or hear.

And until they do...there is no relationship to reconcile.

True healing.

Learned that from your old thread.

Good to see you back here man. Thanks.


My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am

Thank YOU, Grit, for the warm welcome back. It means a lot.

The toll booths are all part of the journey, my friend. Don't spend too much time at them just spinnin' your wheels.....or driving around in circles! smile
