Great job, Shawnee!

You're FREE!!!!!

Congratulations, girl!

I keep going back and forth from feeling great to crying...it's like fast-cycling manic depression.

It will pass.

Thanks for the kind words! :)

I think what you did is probably best for HG, also, though it might take him a while to realize that.

I know. The guy may never grow up but I wasn't helping him there, either.

I'm not surprised. Emotions can be that way. But the good thing is you know on an rational and intellectual level that you made the right decision and things will be better now. Even if it's painful now at times.

Bloody well done Shawnee. It was never going to be an easy thing to do, and it was always going to come down to this.

He had nothing to say about anything that transpired between me and him...so he drug up my marriage as a way to point out how much I suck. wtf? Ancient history and irrelevant much?

Rats...now there's some anger creeping in. I'm going to get nothing done today.

The hurt will pass Shawnee. Look at it this way, the worst is over.
I assume he took his stuff, right?

Back to me, anyway.
Once again, taking the thread title literally - my system is very unhappy at my fruit lunch.
I had fruit for lunch every day for about 4 months a while back and it was fine (or was there a period of alarm that I haven't remembered?). But this is sucky. It's grumbling and mumbling and giving me off tweaks here and there. I'll have to bring it into line. Fruit for lunch every day!

Lie - am out of money til Thursday so I'll be having stuff from the freezer and cupboard. But after Thursday, belly had better learn that brain is in charge these days!

Way to go, Shawnee!

Just to be on the safe side, could you perhaps ask the cops for a neighborhood patrol for a few days? Or at least let them know what's going on. Better to have it on record that he already threatened you once, if they catch him prowling around or something.

He's all talk. I really don't believe he would ever hurt me physically, but I'll have my phone at the ready just in case. I won't go through that again, I'd kill him first.

I'm feeling sick. :(

bag up his stuff and get it out of there. you did good.

It will pass. Tattoo it backwards on your forehead, so you can see it in the mirror. You know you did the right thing, and it will get easier as time passes. In the meantime, enjoy your steak!!

Thanks! :)

I luvz you guys!

Two unassociated analysts I've known and followed for years have each reiterated their belief we won't see any meaningful recovery until late 2011-early 2012. I like these guys because they've always been cautious and don't jump on bandwagons.

A third has continued his statements warning about a swift change/collapse in our currency. effectively the US filing BK on our national debt.

:(

On the upside my lunch was really good.

What practical applications would this have on daily life? All imports more expensive, but domestic items still relatively affordable? Or would we start paying $30 for a loaf of bread?
