Hm. Not so much control as “Well, she treated me this way, and then she treated me like that, so Mo must be about to do this…” A distinct disadvantage to getting older and having been there, done it. And I’m pretty much thinking the same thing, ya know? “Asshole number 1 reacted like this, and asshole #2 reacted like that, so you must be about to…” which is pointless and self defeating. The upside is, we both recognize the mistakes we’ve made before and are trying as hard as two people with no patience can to not repeat them. I’m actually quite a bit better this afternoon. We still haven’t talked, but he let me know that he’s there, and just knowing that brightened me up considerably. Plus, I had a talk with my surrogate son (a very young, very cute kid in our IT dept…you’d like him, sorella) who knows the whole story and he gave me a hug and said “Don’t worry mama. He’ll come around. And if he doesn’t, I’ll shoot him for you.” Such a sweet boy.
maureen, one of the attributes of a person who can be spontaneously funny is that you suppress the little voice that says “no no”. otherwise, you’d just be deciding the next day what it was you coulda shoulda woulda said.
dannyv, where’d he come from??
Oooo do tell! He sounds interesting. Does he want to come on a road trip to Texas? I have some activities to keep him busy!
You know I kind of like it when all of a sudden these people come out of no where and talk to us like they’ve been there all along and know what’s going on because you realize…they’ve been there all along and know what’s going on. IT’s kind of creepy but it makes you wonder how many of them there are [twilight zone music starts to play]
some of ‘em hate us but I’m thinkin’ some of 'em don’t …
Another country heard from!! Hey dannyv, welcome to our little hot tub party. You can have rocky’s spot while he’s away watching cars go in a circle.
My adopted boy is 22yo, tall (to me, anyway, I’m 5’4", he’s 6’3") and basically looks like a big kid. He’s a complete goof, has dark curly hair which is finally growing back (don’t ask), is half Portuguese and half Hawaiian, and is perpetually in my cube saying “Jeez, ma, how’d I piss her off this time?” (“her” being the only drawback for you, sorella. He got married 7 months ago, and is deliriously in love with his bride. It’s so cute). So he was more than happy to return the favor and listen to mama pour her heart out. I throw paperclips at him over the cube wall, and he sings that stupid song from Nemo under his breath to annoy me “just keep swimming, just keep swimming, that’s what we do, we just keep swimming…” And he’s very naive. You’d probably break him.
no, i don’t hate youus. i’ve been lurking since days long gone. (anyone remember theresa?) just haven’t had the urge to say anything until today.
why today? i dunno. just that much more bored at work today, i guess. and tx is a little far away. a road trip to the east bay to see wyatt might be more doable…
oh, and mipiace i hope that some of those road trip activities include 20 questions and i spy. otherwise Boy (3) and Girl (6) won’t be very happy. Wife, on the other hand? never can tell…
Well, glad you decided to speak up dannyv… we’re always happy to see a new and friendly face. 
hey mipiace, I just had an idea, you could tie him to the bed post, break up with him, and then let ME let him know just what a bad boy he’s been. Uhm, only drawback is you have to wait til Monday, cause I won’t be getting any new toys til Sunday.
oh wait, that’s nonconsensual, drat.
[Rosanne Rosanna-Danna]Never Mind!![/RRD]
oohh!! Must add “never mind” to the OMFG dictionary, too…
The lips say no, buuuuut…
Welcome dannyv - you should invite the SO into the hot tub too - we like to keep it all nice and friendly-like 'round here…
Many happy returns, PotT! [sub]was there a ‘y’ on the end of that…?[/sub]
Men - who was it (I’m to lazy - or rather the hamsters are too lazy for me to risk it!) that said the post-relationship toy should be early/mid twenties and have a seven-word vocabulary? If we can just teach them NOT to use the phone… 
However, a man who knows when to keep his mouth shut, now… or should I say busy? – MMmmm hmmm.
Nonetheless, they all have their uses. Opening stuck jars, lifting heavy things, and - ahem - one or two other items…
What SHE said…
BTW… Casper, us men (decidedly derogatory term today…) have many more uses than opening jars and reaching things… altho we’d be pleased to help ya with that jar, honey!
yeah, we can fix things, too. as long as they don’t have more than 3 parts.
… and don’t require reading instructions.
Now that’s just nasty.
I’m sorry babydoll, you have to know that I didn’t write that teasingly though. I wasn’t trying to hurt your feelings either, but that was my most honest first impression. I’m loving the “Gerald’s Game” idea…
