thank you job, that was actually my plan, just to say a simple happy birthday to acknowledge it. He's doing quite the good job of cutting the strings. I consider him a "vanisher" more than a boomerang type, no contact at all until I sent him the email about the check. that's why i think once i'm not emailing him about that anymore (every 2 weeks I request one) i don't think he'll contact me. I have developed a thick skin though and not expecting anything and not really feeling that bad about it (at the moment) knowing that this will take years if anything. He didn't ask one thing about me, not one, and looked straight forward when talking while i was facing him trying to look him in the eye, don't think he noticed. That was what I expected though so I was prepared for this. oh well... it is what it is. I am counting my blessings and staying positive. You're right I should assume nothing.
