Don't give up hope, dennis - things will eventually work out and you will be purchasing a home one of these days.
The last four days are among the happiest of my life. My older son graduated high school yesterday (Sunday) so I took a long weekend, and we all had a wonderful time. On seniors honors night on Thursday they awarded my son two local scholarships for a total of $6100. When you throw in the state scholarship which he can take with him to the university in Indiana, and the huge scholarship the school gave him (half off his tution for four years), we might not have to pay any money at all for at least the first year, other than pizza money!
Great weekend - the honors night, Cold Stone Creamery, went to the symphony with my hub (and he was the first one to stand up and start screaming and cheering at the end - he is actually starting to like some classical music!!!), lots of parties, group book shopping and gourmet cheese shopping, some great meals in restaurants, two of my sisters coming for part or all of the weekend, the graduation itself....it was a wonderful four days.
Tonight was the first night in I don't even know how long when I did not get sick from stress at work. I'm hoping that can keep up for the rest of the week. My vacation starts on Friday.  _________________ Love as thou wilt.

Thanks, Sarge. I hope I will read your work. You have a very creative side, and to be honest I have never encountered a writer with your ability to explore literary techniques. I hope you get your work printed. _________________

Well, this must be aimed partially at me. And, yep, I'm reading the emoticons but I just don't "get it" (ie: I don't think it's funny). What's important Lore is you finishing the bloody book to begin with. Yep, feedback is great as you go along (I know that) but, honestly - ! You of all people know why I haven't read your manuscript; and you of all people should know how a comment like this in an open forum would really piss me off. _________________

Don't take it personally; it was never aimed at you, and yes I know why you haven't. There are two others who are reading it. But understand how I feel. Two months down the track I virtually hear nothing ; one wonders how good the novel must be if no one can finish 130 novel-sized pages. As it stands, I am beginning to have great doubts about my novel.
I'm not being aggressive, just asserting how I feel; I'd love it if I could get some feedback. And I am certainly not cracking the whip or attacking anyone here. _________________

Just let me know if you want me to proof read the bloody thing, Lore; there's no need for you to feel you have to go to angry, bitter, slowpokes to get this done. _________________ Dandelion don't tell no lies

Bitter and angry? God, what use are damn emoticons if everyone decides to interpret my posts their own way?
God, all my life people tell me to be more assertive and this is what happens.  _________________

Deja Vu? Be easy folks. You got over it last time, you'll surely do so again. Just take a moment or a day or whatever to cool off.
You're both wonderful people who think highly of each other. Keep it in mind.
