I will survive

Nero, I'm so sorry you see no movement with your H, neither forward or backwards, but it sounds to me like he is still pretty fond of you. My ex was fond of me too, but that was just not enough after all those years, especially when I was expected to financially support him AND accept his affairs. Gardening.....did or did you not promise me some plants so I could start a new garden in the deer destruction pathway?

Thanks Wonka, you have been such a supportive friend for so many years. No, a low vision specialist never occurred to me. I was just grateful that I can see as well as I can, albeit right-eyed LOL. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ellie, you crack me up! Fermented oatmeal to treat a-fib indeed LOL. And thanks Job and FY and Cat and Betsey and BF, you guys have truly been blessings to me over the past couple of years. I love you all a lot!

So, listen to this. Ex now says that he and the Russian are not really too happy in Moscow. She has a high pressure job as an accountant, and is gone from 7a to 7p 5 or 6 days each week, and he is alone all day. He is "not allowed" to have any friends (WTF?). They had been living in the city with the Russian's elderly mom and niece, and there was a lot for him to do there, but she got them a studio apartment in the suburbs, and there is very limited public transportation, so he is stuck alone in the apartment most of the time.

She wanted to move to Tampa-St. Pete, but now is thinking maybe moving to Chile would do the trick. She apparently has a cousin there, who also worked as an accountant, but was not happy in her work, so she quit and is attending the Cordon Bleu cooking school there. Although neither speaks a word of Spanish, ex and the Russian are thinking maybe they too might be happy in Chile. Sigh.....

One of my friends on the alt suggested they might be planning to try every continent LOL. Honestly though, it makes me so sad that he is still searching for that elusive happiness.
