I have been looking forward to that too. you and T2 are the only ones on the list that I know. (other thant acorn, scotty and dotto - met them at my Boston convention last month)
I am leaving at 6 am Friday morning and staying through Sunday night - driving back on Monday (It is nice being the boss and taking off when I want)
just had an interesting phone call from C - seems that while she was gone over weekend a thunderstorm knocked out her internet/ home network. she managed to call Tech support and get one computer (not her main one) back online but does not know how to get all three back the way I had them set up. I told her that I thought I could figure out how to fix them and while I was as friendly and plesant as I could be, I did not offer to come over tonight to fix her system. she said she would try to figure it out.
she then asked me about my weekend and I told her I had a great time - putting faces to the names of people I knew and that I was too busy around the beach house to go do any sightseeing so I just stayed at the beachhouse all the time.
I then told her that I hoped she had a good weekend too and she said she did.
she then told me she would have to trade in her car - it will take about $2500 to fix it.
I then told her that if all was ok, that on Sunday I would be over early and get all my stuff packed and either in the shed or in a pile downstairs in the garage. Then if ok with her on Tuesday I would come over with Uhaul and load up all in garage and haul to the storage shed, including the hot tub. She said ok but seemed to be more down.
maybe she will get the idea that I will not drop all to come help her when she needs help - after all she is the one that suggested that we have no contact for 2 months (I guess that time has not techinaclly started yet since I was going over on Sunday to get my stuff.)
Also she is still using some of my things in her business (desk, two filing cabinets, flat screen panel monitor, computer table, printer/copier, etc.) and I was thinking that I should get her to sign a long term lease for those items.
I have a question. - I have been thinking back on some contacts w/ C and I remembered that the other day when I was talking to C about going to VB and she said she was also going away that weekend, She asked me if I was going to VB with the lady I have been seeing and I said no, I was going with the DBing group. I then asked her if she was going with her Boyfriend. She replied that she was going with "a friend". I also remembered that several other times when I referred to her boyfriend as "your boyfriend" she countered with "my friend"
Is there something in her not referring to OG as Boyfriend but only as a "Friend"?
BF/friend, sounds like SHE can't admit it! MLCers, they are so confused.
Glad to hear she was down when you told her you were moving your stuff out!
Glad that she was jealous about you going with a GF this weekend.
My 2 cents, the buttons she was pushing are no longer working. Now she is confused. uhmmmm, maybe she is going to get it; that you are moving on.
Think it is time that she got her own filing cabinet and desk.

Just tell her you need them. It seems they always want to have an excuse to see us, by hanging on to some thing. My H still has things here, even though he wants this D, he still has stuff here.
So clean house, take what is yours. Soon she will get the message. Then if you do visit with her, it will because you want to and not because you are coming to get something; as an excuse.
damn - what else can i say. first let me apologize for taking so long to get to posting since i got back. the whole experience of meeting everyone this weekend has definitely got me thinking about what is important in life and what i can 'let go'
meeting you was a joy. you were one of the ones i really wanted to meet - you and i are beginning buds together on this board and we went thru all our beginning pain together and moved to piecing together. there is a bond that just can't be broken
your an amazing man, c has no stinkin idea what she is passing up. i saw you interact with dozens of people this weekend, and altho you are a definite 'observer' you are also a very wise man with lots of insight - a catch for any woman (and if i ain't mistakin, in case you didn't notice, i think someone was flirting with you monday morning...well it sure looked like it was flirting from where i was sittin)
thank you for being one of the 'responsible' ones saturday night that allowed the rest of the partiers to continue partying. i respect the three of you so much for taking time out of your vacations to help a fellow human in need.
and how come i missed the wal-mart trip? where was i during this???
your a sweetie - glad to have met you - and thanks for the bodacious sandwich on the way home - mmmm
Yes, he is very responsible. You missed a good trip to Wally World. Can you imagine him walking down around with me and Nish giggling and acting silly the whole time? Talk about patience!!
Also, he can be a "take charge" kind of guy when he chooses to be. He promised to help me with my grocery shopping.
I can't believe I missed the flirting! Darn.
Thanks for stopping by my thread Odga. Hugs!

------------ This is surviving. There is no such thing as a normal life, there's just life. So get on with it and enjoy it!
just got an IM from C. Seems that when I went to Boston last month I did not pack enough warm clothing and ended up buying a Red Boston sweatshirt. Also since my laptop was just stolden a week before I went and I needed the laptop to stay in touch w/ my office C let me borrow hers.
When I was on the way home it got hot in the airport and I took off the sweatshirt and thought I laid it down on the chair beside me and that I walked off and left it but it seems that I stuffed it into her computer bag (I did not want to have her computer go missing so I kept it with me on the plane) I had forgotten I had done that and today she opened her laptop and found the sweatshirt and sent me an IM to say she had it along with some papers I left there.
Anyway - she knew I was comming over on Sunday and could have waited till then to let me know but instead she sent me an IM (altho she did not talk long) --- Very intresting.
