Gawd, yes....Jess, in permanent marker, write across yer bum, "Hey! Flip me over!!"

[DingoGirl]

Hi guys.. just stopped in a for a few minutes. I'm at loose ends, I don't know what to do today. Going over to get more stuff, or starting to clear the stored stuff out of this bedroom seems repugnant... every step I take like that makes it all more real and permanent. I can't stand that.

I'm starting to realize that a lot of life was based on lies, and I know that means there's no going back... but I can't help still wanting it. Woke up this morning with tears already on my face, thinking over and over again, I want to go home, I want my husband back.

Sarah. We hear your pain. this is awful. Hang tight, and, Richard is right.....don't do ANYTHING without a lawyer/ arbitrator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your husband seems to have actually lost his mind. And, I don't know that there's any validity to the claim that.....the house isn't yours since you haven't paid anything into it......that doesn't fly in California...........

I have all your emails - there were four of five?

Sarah,

I remember from my first divorce that the worst part was not losing my husband, but losing all the dreams and the plans and everything I thought my life was going to be. Somehow, realizing this made it a little easier. I knew that since dreams and plans were mine to start with, that I would make new ones.

You haven't lost yourself, although I suspect it feels that way at times. You are still you.

Jess is a wise woman. It's probably hard to hear this stuff now....but it's true. Remember, you ARE still you.

I'm reading some books that are very helpful to me now.......there will come a time when they're helpful to you, and I"ll send them.

I am, by the way, yacht-free . . . ummm . . . and goat-free.

Well, I am NOT yacht-free. Oh, haven't I told you guys? I have a BIG OL' YACHT parked down in.....La Paz. That's right. I guess I just forget to tell you guys after all this time. I'll be down there for the next two months. There's a personal chef on board, a first mate, a maid, all of it.

Dang, just slipped my mind to tell you about this.....it's over 100 feet and easily sleeps.....12. Yeah, that's right, 12.

:lol:

It has goats on it, too.

I got me a blasted headache..............sooooooooo menstrual.

forgot to tell you guys ALSO about teh two diarrheal blowouts I had at Lauren's school, whilst helping her. Yup, two for two. Both days I was there last week, had to FALL to the (newly carpeted) floor in her classroom, doubled over in laboUr pains of explosive diarrhea. Now, this was NOT gluten.....and it was late in the afternoon. Lauren got rather a good laugh as I lay on the floor, waiting for things to......build to their denoument..........and then RAN......and I mean RAN - to the bathroom - quite far away. (are there any celiacs who are teachers? trapped in a classroom all day? my idea of hell )

So anywho.........I had two MAJOR explosions in the bathroom at her school this last week......what in hell? why? Was totally spent. And, to me, it was just further confirmation that I should have NEVER gotten a teaching credential (blasted waste of a college education If I knew then what I know now....... )

EMILY!!!!!!!!!! I"ll let you go on my yacht if you let me go to that haunted cottage in Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JESS - yes. Glitter, notes, sparklies - ALL OF IT - you just can't be too careful. Pseriously, check in with us as SOON as you can.

[Judyin Philly]

Sarah,

I knew that since dreams and plans were mine to start with, that I would make new ones.

You haven't lost yourself, although I suspect it feels that way at times. You are still you.

Sarah, this is so true.

Well the good thing is . . . your brain is gettin' there. It will take longer for the heart . . .

Look forward; not back.

We're here for ya' . . . got sumptin' you need to bounce off someone or some help troubleshooting . . . we're good at suppling unsolicitated advice. Stay Strong.

yep, that's one thing we sillies are good for!

My niece got baptized this morning in Italy. John is her god father and my sister Carrie is her god mother. I cant wait to see pictures.

anyway its off to house hunt see ya all later.

Yeah, some good news......whew..........did you find a good house????

Jess- You is one smart chick and emoticonically proficient

:wub: Sarah- We are going hold you up until you can do it yourself :wub:

That's so true you haven't lost yourself- you've lost the life you thought you had, the person who was the man that you loved, but not YOU. You still have your dreams, your beautiful boys and the future. Now it can be what YOU and they want, without anyone else's imposition (except ours).

Ditto all Bev!!!!

I'm having trouble with my email, sometimes it's working and sometimes it's not. But I do need something, something I didn't think I would. Has anyone kept all the emails and updates I've sent? It would help me keep dates straight about what was said when.

I am going to talk to a lawyer after all. I didn't want to, but the things he did and said today force me too. It makes me sick with sadness.

I went over to talk to him about not changing the kids rooms so soon. To give you the short version, since it's here instead of email... He said that I don't have a say in it, and he needs to make room to get all of my stuff out of his bedroom.

He's trying to make it out that I chose to leave. That I could have stayed if i wanted (by what means, I don't know.) He said I can have the house if I want it, but if I'm not putting money into it and helping him with the bills, then it's his and I have no say about what he does there.

He told me to leave. I said that it was my house, too, and how could he tell me to leave? He said that it's not my house because I'm not paying for anything.

There's more that was said... so unbearably hurtful.... I don't want to post it here, and I couldn't get my email working right.

If anyone has the updates I've sent, please try to send them to me and I'll let you know if they came through.

I think i have then in a Sarah file

Not everyone has their own file on my computer. See how special you are babe.

THRILLED your getting some professional advice.

will send asap!

Jess, good luck tomorrow! lots of hugs love and prayers for you too

[Jestgar]

Thanks all. I'll check in when I can sit

See ya's later

[blueeyedmanda]

Good Luck tomorrow Jess!!!!! Let us know when you can. I think the glitter and sparkles are great ideas! I think you should maybe make a map....in case they get lost! LOL

We be thinking of you sweetie

[Judyin Philly]

Sarah.......I just sent you 3 also

were there more?

hugs

Judy

Good Morning, Sillies!

Susie's secret yacht and internal explosions, Jess's uterine map......just another evening in Sillyville..... !!. .. . .

I'm hoping that we''ll get some wonderfully amusing, narcotic-fuelled postings from our Jess over the next few days........

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning Sillies-

House hunting went well, we found some more potentials....Some of these places are over-priced though....so we scratched them. We kinda of drove around and found the ones off the beaten path that were by other agents and not on the multi-list. So they have the info tube and we grabbed a paper. It was fun too.

Lucky is still pretty sick, on Sat he had x-rays and blood work. All came out perfect. Today he will start some new meds for de-worms, maybe he has a parasite, if not by Weds/Thurs they will put him on Prednisone a steroroid for inflammation in his GI tract...after that we are out of options. I feel that if this doesn't all work we will be putting him down, why make him continue to suffer, he is starving since he eats and it all comes back up....such a sad thing. I love my cat! I cannot believe this is going on.....its like there are no causes and no answers.

John is home with Lucky today which is nice.

[Ridgewalker]

The emails are coming through ok... thank you guys for taking the time to do that. I think there were more than 3, but I think that there may have been a couple that only went out to one person, not the group. So I'm glad that you all sent what you have, and I can try to piece it together.

I thought we could at least do this without getting any uglier than it was already. I guess when he agreed that it wasn't necessary to get lawyers, he really meant as long as I went along with everything he decided.

And I still miss him. Last night after I got the kids settled down, my first thought was I want to call him. I want to talk, I wonder what he's doing.... I want my husband back. And an image popped into my head with him in our bedroom, with all of my things moved out... because by that time, he'd surely already done it.

And I lost it again... sobbed for hours, till I couldn't see anymore. Thank God my mom was right there with me, Thank God I wasn't alone...

Why does it just have to keep getting worse? Haven't I hurt enough? If he had to do this, even for just himself, why does he have to be so cruel about it? Why push me and move my things and say the house isn't mine? I don't understand it... and I don't think I ever will.

Jess... I know you're having the surgery today, I'll be thinking about you.

[Judyin Philly]

judy

[blueeyedmanda]

Jess- I'm thinking about you

Sarah-thanks for the update....I am speechless, I just finished the email and I dont know why he insists on continuing to hurt you. There is just no need for it. The worst part should have been hearing the news, but he does not even give you the chance to let that fully sink in before he is making another mess. He is being unfair! I am so glad you have your parents! Stay Strong!

Judy- foots ok, still hurts a bit....hopefully just bruised!

[elye]

Okay, it's 11:00 eastern time......Jess likely still has her uterus.. . . . .....

Such sad reading today....... . . .....Sarah, I continue to pray for you. Hope you are garnering strength and GETTING LEGAL COUNSELLING. Could you ask your mom and/or dad to search this out for you? Because it should be done now....... .. .

Amanda!! Poor little Lucky! I'm praying for him, too. Is he elderly? Cannot remember........

Oh, boy........tough to git Phunny 'round here right now.... . . . .

Or you could sing Open Original Shared Link

I thought she was so cool! Jess -it's 9:20 your time- has the uterus left the building? I truly, dearly hope it all goes well for you.

Gawd, yes....Jess, in permanent marker, write across yer bum, "Hey! Flip me over!!"

Sigh. We need something very phunny around here soon. Thinking of you lots sarah, Aamanda, Lucky and let us not forget Susie who has been selfless even though she has suffered her own major loss.

I'm thinkin' Judy's gone all anonymous on us . . . didn't see her on the thread at all . . . Perhaps she's getting ready to post on the OS thread . . .

She's so on the DL. I can feel it!

OK- how about some good news? I have been watching the Olympics and have realized that at 40, I still have plenty of time (like 20 years give or take the Lyme years) to train for the US equestrian team! I'm so gonna do it! Will you guys buy me a horse? I want

I swear this video will cheer you up- this horse dances to Lady Marmalade (Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?)

[blueeyedmanda]

Uh.....yes, per the new rules, Janet..... . .. . .however, it is not in iambic pentametre........

LOL!!!!

Lucky just turned 3, so he is still a baby!

I wonder if they liked Jess's pre-surgery pampering of her Uttery???? Do you think the sparkles and glitter were up to par or were they wondering where she got sucha crazy idea???

[Green12]

Hello Sillies on this Manic Monday

I'm thinking about Jess, and Sarah, and Susie (sounds like she had a rough few days with d and headaches and not feeling quite right) HUGS and to all...

And poor Lucky still sick

I got so far behind, how does this happen? Got lost in my inbox I guess Must go back and catch up.....

[DingoGirl]

Lucky is still pretty sick, on Sat he had x-rays and blood work. All came out perfect. Today he will start some new meds for de-worms, maybe he has a parasite, if not by Weds/Thurs they will put him on Prednisone a steroroid for inflammation in his GI tract...after that we are out of options. I feel that if this doesn't all work we will be putting him down, why make him continue to suffer, he is starving since he eats and it all comes back up....such a sad thing. I love my cat! I cannot believe this is going on.....its like there are no causes and no answers.

AMANDA! WHAT????????????? Put Lucky down? he's only three!!!!

Listne - what is he eating? what's his diet? I feel rather sure you can turn this around, with different food. Alas, it may involve baby food, or cooking ground turkey and rice for him.....something. Am I forgetting - has he been on any special diet? I just feel that there must be SOMETHIGN you can do....he's been healthy until now...

Of course, this comes from a woman who paid for 1.5 years of chemotherapy for her non-pedigreed dog..... Said dog was CELIAC, BTW, and when I switched her food, seven years of diarrhea (my poor girl!!!!! ) STOPPED!

Why does it just have to keep getting worse? Haven't I hurt enough? If he had to do this, even for just himself, why does he have to be so cruel about it? Why push me and move my things and say the house isn't mine? I don't understand it... and I don't think I ever will.

Sarah this is exactly the question I have asked myself recently. A$$hole seems to take pleasure in hurting me, as evidenced by an email last weekend.....I was unglued. The cruelty, I think, helps them to distance......I do think they want to make US mad, then they can feel better about themselves. Very strange.....

Some people just lose their minds....who knows why. Sounds like Brian's having a mid-life crisis, only he's too young for that.

you MUST get legal help........you must........

So glad your mom is there with you.

Yes, Bevel, we WILL buy you a horse!!!!!!!!! As soon as I sell my yacht.

Bev, that beautiful horse! What a dancer! This is exactly what I was trying to do while in the boat on Ashby lake yesterday.......

yep twas me.......i did that the other day when Susie told me how..........and of course.......... ding bat forgot to un do it.

I do not know how to do this. I always want everybody to know when I'm on.

But actually, I may want to clandestinely surf around elsewhere, someday...... . ..how does one make oneself "anonymous?", anyways?

I wonder if they liked Jess's pre-surgery pampering of her Uttery???? Do you think the sparkles and glitter were up to par or were they wondering where she got sucha crazy idea???

I do so hope that she did this....... . . . . . . ....

I'm thinking about Jess, and Sarah, and Susie (sounds like she had a rough few days with d and headaches and not feeling quite right) HUGS and to all...

Yep, lotsa hugs need to go 'round......Jess, Sarah, Susie (phorgot about our poor sick Spruezle!), and Lucky........
