Ditto that. It’s unfortunate, but true. Support her as much as you can, and lead her to understand that there are options. I will probably take a while, sadly.
I fully agree with this advise. Well the first half. Use your energy to help your friend. Your time will be better used that way. You will also demonstrate what love is, not what her husband has been doing. Sometimes people never experienced a pure friendship when they can be themselves without fear. She must trust you since she asked for you at the hospital.
Okay, i won’t wait outside his house with a baseball bat… yet…
phone breaking in my pocket:mad::mad::mad:
I had a bad emotional day. Roller-coaster of emotions. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. Oh, it is going down to freezing in the morning too. That is bad for a Floridian.
I got a $20 parking ticket for about a dime’s worth of time (they must stand there and watch the meter run down). I also spilled half a bowl of ravioli on my floor, coffee table, and backpack.
the girl I’ve essentially been falling in love with told me today that despite me being her dream guy that it won’t work out because she can’t see herself staying in Wisconsin because she hates the cold and because I can’t find a job that would be real secure in Charleston SC because of the economy right now
another sucky Valentine’s Day coming up this weekend it seems, she also insists on carrying on like that conversation didn’t happen, telling me how amazing she thinks I am and how she cares for me, which only feels like more knives being put in me
Let’s see. Made an ass out of myself by falling asleep in a movie, Wolfman btw it sucked, while the girl I’ve been trying to get with was there. So I felt like a giant tool. My…friend…who I don’t particularly like is ragging on me so I go to push him into a snow bank. He moves to the side pushes me down, fine, but then he throws my hoodie over my head like a hockey fight. I start swinging and clock him at least three times while blinded.
Spent about 15 minutes there after looking for my glasses in the snow and then drove home. Frak this night and frak my “friend”
Dude, you’re 21. How can she possibly know all this? So much can happen in just a few months. I think she needs to relax and go with the flow a bit, see what happens. Maybe you do too?
Yeah, real tactful there, Armando. Good job trying to make Darth Revan feel better. Ya yutz!
Just enjoy the time you have, Darth, and see what happens. What’s meant to be will be.
I just heard from my mother that my brother, the doctor who just renewed his contract for two more years at a Florida clinic, was just given notice that he has three months to find a new job as he’s being downsized. And it being Florida, apparently this is totally legal (Leah, is that true?).
I’m not a lawyer (ianal abbr.), but the contract prolly has fine print for termination.
I am not a lawyer but I say that he should read the small print. It probably legal or they would not do it. Florida has so many people loosing their jobs that the contracts probably have a way out clause.
Probably so. I talked to my brother today and he says he’s looking into it on Monday but isn’t expecting anything, so he’s planning a job hunt. He’s a doctor, so I’m sure he’ll be fine.
Me, I’ve been trying my darndest to send some video files to a potential employer all evening to no avail. They need these by Wednesday and I think it may come down to fedexing a DVD. Ugh!
Spot (one of my family’s cats) is at the vet now. My parents think she had a stroke, because she was pretty non-responsive when Dad found her and she didn’t even try to get out of the box Dad put her in to drive her to the vet.
They’re trying one more thing, but if it doesn’t work, they’re going to have to put her down. She’s 13 or 14 (forget which summer we got her), so she’s had a pretty good life. Even though she’s still in Iowa while I’ve been in Florida almost 4 years now, I’ve always thought of Spot as my cat.
I just got word from Mom that Spot died.
That is the suck.
So sorry to hear that. It’s good that you had so many years with her.
Sorry for your loss, Starsaber. 
I am so sorry. That is always hard to do.
Thanks everyone. She had a good life and it sounds like she didn’t suffer, so that’s something.
