You seem unsettled. That post wasn't as clear as you usually are. Are you going to that music venue alone, or is this a move to soothe any ruffled feathers?
Do feathers get soothed, or smoothed? Are feathers smooth? You can rub a cat the wrong way, but if you rub a bird the wrong way, you're in for a peck of trouble.
Yeah I'll be going alone. Just part of post-lockdown era getting back to normal, it's not some big event. The sort of thing I've been encouraged to do... until it gets real. LOL
I guess the imagination can run wild. I already explained there is no "mixer" there, no drinks, no food, it isn't like some band in a bar or something. Nobody is going to suddenly meet somebody local and then disappear forever. Feelings just aren't rational though.
Does this ride end in a nice smooth pond or is this one of those rivers that is a continuous loop?? lol
For all I can tell right now I'm about to go over a waterfall alone. LOLQuote:

Looks like the waterfall has been avoided. Got invited for dinner, but 800 miles is a walk even for spaghetti and meatballs.
I'm having trouble believing she didn't know how to delete voicemails though. Weak explanation for a "full mailbox." I just figured I got blocked again due to some hissy fit. However she did leave the secure messenger open. Oversight?
Forget about the voicmails... Do you know what you're gonna wear for this dinner invite?Quote:

Trump is fined $355million. I wonder if any of that amount will ever come out of his pocket.
A story about a guy that lived rent free for the last five years. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...uil-rcna139182
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World!! lol
He's gonna make sure a good portion of that come out of his supporters pockets, and the rest he'll push-off paying until after the elections in hope a self-pardon saves his money.Quote:

Crazy that after saving a crap-load of money over the years, he fraudulently now claims ownership of the building, tried to charge rent, and demanded a bank to transfer the hotel's accounts to him. He's gonna be the second person Trump pardons when he becomes president.Quote:

He can't self pardon for a state charge. A president only has the power to pardon federal crimes.
I'm not sure that it is MORE crazy. The guy seems to have made a lifestyle of finding loopholes to slip through. This is just one more.Quote:

I have heard some horror stories of how hard it is to evict someone in NY. It can take several months here in CA.
Progress I guess. Cycle time is way down: new breakup late last night lasted maybe 10 minutes. Morning call was close to normal and by 2 PM texting was more "domestic" than ever. Late afternoon call, more of the same and a lot of laughter. Meals, what we'd been up to, plans for the evening, weather, our kids, home repairs, health and medical, etc. Bedtime call (minds out of the gutter) went fine. Light bulbs, our kids, and the Netflix series she's watching.
Only 3 hours of telephone time, but we had "broken up" not 24 hours earlier.
Broken up? I thought you was in the process of hooking-up. What happened?
A shock to me as well, but I've found that somehow it doesn't take much. I'd casually "liked" a random social media post. It seems I'm watched very closely, this was seen, and it was taken as "evidence" of some kind of disloyalty. As I've now been told the poster is the same woman I supposedly was disloyally communicating with weeks ago when the last big breakup followed.Quote:

So I got to hear quite the litany of very personal insults, how guys are lined up around the corner for a chance and she's been blowing them off, yadda yadda.
I'm most shocked at this behavior in someone in her 60s. 20s, sure, but geeze 60s? I suspect a coven of her girlfriends are feeding her insecurities.
Just got back from our second honeymoon, we went back to St. Augustine.
We had a great time and it was the absolute perfect weather, every day was like in the low 60's so we could walk for miles and never break a sweat.
Unfortunately, our flight back never happened.
