Thanks everyone for your support. It's truly not like "Would you like to come upstairs and see my etchings?" kind of thing. He is a very old friend (since we were eleven) and has been a big support to me through this. Yes, he has expressed interest, but has respected my wishes that I'm no where ready for anything like that. (In truth, the thought is kind of icky, like with your brother)

Another hang up call last night. Taking D24 & DIL to Hot Springs with me on Friday for Arts & Crafts Fair. That will be fun.

Grandson (3) is sick with bronchitis. I'll have to stay on top of his mom ( the bipolar one) to take care of things.

Staying busy is definitely better! Everyone have a great day!

Good morning everyone. The cooler air always makes me a spryer chicken than usual. Tough day at work yesterday, but had a nice dinner with friend afterwards. Home tucked in bed by 9:00 with a good Stephen King.

Ever looming in the back of my mind is the upcoming court date, but I'm not letting it get me down. Planning to go to the Homecoming Football Game tonight at the old Alma Mater. How's that for GAL'ng.

Have a great day!

OMG! I've been absolutely JONESING for this Board and you guys.

I've had some really strange revelations in my life in the past week. One, I realized, I'm Happy. I have a closer, warmer relationship with my children than I ever have before. Two, H contacted me and wants to meet to 'settle things' before going to court.

I have agreed to meet him halfway at a McDonald's @ 2:00 P.M. this Friday. He emailed back, would this settle things and keep us out of court, I replied I would not promise anything, but we did need to settle some things I thought he should have as they belonged to his deceased Mom.

I told him that whether he liked it or not, his career had been my career, and that I had done quite a bit of research. I do not want to be nasty or mean, but I'm not bending over either. Also told him I wished to not involve family or friends, but would if I had to.

Guys, I really hope I have responded the right way. I am not argumentative, but not a push over. I plan to be smiling and happy and bright when I see him, as that is how I feel at this time, anyway.

Advice please!!!!!!!!!!! Any words of wisdom from been there done that?

Dress to kill, look good, smell good.

Make him think about what he is giving up!

Stay as detached as possible.

Oh Lance, you dog, you know I will. Size 4 skin tight jeans. Yes, SIZE 4. Nylon tie dyed Rolling Stone T, Auburn hair cut to kill, and to top it off, my friend is going to lend me her Mazda RX7 to drive.

I keep thinking of Meg Ryan in the movie 'French Kiss'. That's how I want to be. Totally detached. Pray for me people.

Hey Punkin one last thing,
This is the LAST time I will bring it up.
Since I sent you all the info you need.
But if the boards go down again you will understand.
The alt was not down this whole time.
SA and me talk that way all the time!

You can message any of us any time you want.
