When life hands you lemons add alcohol and stir!

Really amazing lady jazz singer, I thought it was recorded until I decided the sound quality was too good.

How funny OT! I've been to a Ramada that had a bar and lounge but never and econolodge. What a riot! Love jazz...that would have been interesting.

I have come far. WITHOUT A DOUBT! I still have a nearly impossible time formulating what I want to say and then actually spitting it out when I need to but I'm working at it......constantly!

Start writing a script. Since you can do this over the phone you can have your notes handy.

[Reincarnated]

I'm just going to send hugs right now.......

not sure if you want to deal with this over the phone. Did he have a tentative date for coming back?

[oldtimer]

Lol, right. Skip the phone call, that's what texts are for. Humpphhh.

[MichelleLT]

Nah. Why text. Just write a letter. Better yet, for a more impersonal touch, type the letter.

[whatisis]

WTH, just set his car on fire!...uh, it's a joke...right? You got that.

[MichelleLT]

A joke. Roger that.

Now putting marbles behind the door panel of his car....

[mishka422]

I still love the marble idea. I pick him up at the airport tomorrow night.

Still thinking about it all.

I vote straight up and to the point. "So, Gabe, I was checking some account balances and see you stayed at an Econo Lodge. What's that about?" But you have to deliver it in neutral. Jumping on him will put him in defense mode and then you may not get a straight answer...

As some of the others said, maybe it was innocent. I don't like that he lied about it, but still...I know I could not handle staying with my mom and dad for a week, I would have to get a hotel or something somewhere in there! I mean I love my parents, but staying with them??? Not so much.
