Shine on you crazy diamond III

[FellOnBlackDays]

Get her a card that reads:

"On the this special day a special message just for you.

LOOK INSIDE"

<<<<<Inside of of card>>>>>>>>>>

"No really, look inside"

Grit, I really like this idea and I am seriously considering doing this. But, I am honestly trying to figure out if you are kidding or serious. Please clarify, because I really like this idea and would be willing to pull it off. I think it speaks volumes with so few words. I think it might be time for me to start putting some this back on her. I have come to grips with what I have done and I am ready to fix it, with or without her. But, I don't think she is doing the same. It might still be a bit too easy to blame me...

Thanks to all for your suggestions and thoughts. I really do appreciate the support!!!!

I read that as an insult. Better no card than an insult.

I know the relationship is strained between you. But this is not just your day or hers, it is both of yours. I recommend that before the big (or nothing) day, you ask if she wants to celebrate the good times that you had together over the 15 years, maybe by meeting for a drink or going to dinner. If she says no, fine, then you have your answer. Do nothing. If she says yes, then go to dinner, and only talk about the good times. Make it relatively short, and go to your separate homes afterwards.

FOBD,

The card, is a bit of a twisted joke. We had a thread over in MLC of cards that we would love to give to our S's. You may start to find that our humor, is a bit twisted...

Grit put in his post after the card to NOT get her one. Go back and reread.

While the card wasn't necessarily an insult, it also isn't meant to be taken seriously or given.

Or if you feel you have to. Get one.

Sign and seal it.

And put it in a drawer.

Pull it out when she is able to read it.

I like this idea. Get a card, write everything you want to say in it, and then put it away and lock it up. If things change in the future, you can give it to her when the time is right.

i like that idea as well

if you need to get a card, do that

but i will tell you, the need to do so will probably pass

Ditto on the idea of getting a card and sealing it away.

Write something nice and heartfelt and if she does come back, you can say I was thinking about you on our day.

But dont be cruel to her by giving her a gag card. That brings you down to her level and you must never sink that low.

It was a joke.

Though the meaning is not.

They do have to look inside and until they do no card is going to penetrate their world.

Cat I will pay Mach the nickel if he pays it to the person who actually came up with the card...!

P.S. Do you have Mach's chili recipe?

Cheapskate!!!

However, I am sure he will forward the nickle to it's rightful owner (know who that is)

You know I have the REAL secret Chili recipie plus a few more that you wish you had (although my butt wishes I didn't LOL)

BITS, thanks for the clarification. I thought the card was a bit much, but sometimes in life you just have to say, "what the f**k" and do something out of the norm. Frankly, I don't think the card was such a bad idea. But, the overall ruling seems to be that it would not be a good idea. So, I will let it pass.

Lotus, I am not sure about your idea either. I think it may be a bit to soon to start asking for dates. She is nice to me, but there are some pretty deep waters just under the surface. She can go from nice to pissed in about 4 seconds which leads me to believe she still has some very serious issues to deal with internally.

I don't know yet what I am going to do. I will spend tonight thinking it over and live with my decision no matter how it goes. What do I have to lose at this point? Not much, really. She is pretty dead set on not coming back, so I don't think I need "to walk on eggshells" around her any longer.

Before your thread is locked:

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
