OT: Happy Labor Day! Enjoying four-day vacation....

Wow!  Having missed some  'fun'  outing opportunities here, I decided to take the lemons and make lemonade!  I booked a suite for four nights at a SW hotel, and ex-BF and I are having serious R& R.  State Fair Saturday, Chanhassen Dinner Theatre last night, today just got back from ValleyFair, had to check Emails regarding serious family issue, then tomorrow spending lots of time taking tons of pics at the Arboretum.  Massively enjoying the pool and 90 ft winding slide, hot tub, and fabulous dining at Axel's!  Now all the kidlets are outta here for back to school tomorrow, though it's booked with RNC dweebs.  They don't hang around pool, nor pee in it!  Yeaaay!  I'll likely be unable to get up to Lucy's  MG shower Fri. night, and especially getting to Becker, so just decided to 'make lemonade' per se.  He's not drinking, and that's the boundary where I will/will not spend time together.  So this right now is safer than going out alone---until I convince many non-WLS friends in the south and east 'burbs to move closer to Hopkins  (j/k!)(ha, ha, hee, hee!)  Have a wonderful week!  Hugs, Patti

Sounds like a great time!  Enjoy your long weekend.  I'm exhausted from mine - ready to get back to work and school!

Patti....is this the ex that was evicted from your building???

I am confused........

Hugs, connie d

To keep bringing up the Darla situation isn't helping your case any- Just a suggestion that you might now want to keep mentioning the "lemons" and missed outing opportunities.  I am just a lurker but thought I should post because I have read over the past several months that you have a good heart.  God Bless!

What pleasant surprise to get home and find this in my Emails.  This solidifies the notion of my  not going onto the board anymore.  You are so wrong;.  There is not a 'case.'   That's water long ago under the bridge, and everyone as adults, should leave it be.   I did NOT mention any names in my post!  And it was plural, not a singular 'opportunity.'  Please do NOT make erroneous assumptions----  my 'positive' stated plans did NOT mention any person's name, and there are more opportunities missed.  I'd honestly attempted to clear the air, and am totally cut off.  I was posting a very 'positive' announcement that I took the bull by the horns and made my own plans to enjoy the long extended weekend, which it was, absolutely WONDERFUL!  And you ARE right, I have a huge, good heart.  Am emotionally, materially generous to a fault, and it has backfired.  Am so glad I hadn't been included in all the limo plan PMs last week, because I sure would've fully paid for everyone so the max number of people could go, and that may have backfired to simply just 'being used'.  Had something really neat planned for the MG dinner  Friday night, but am not in the clique, nor do I care to be.  Junior high was tough enough as a young teen, I don't care to revisit that mentality here.  I know who my genuine friends from here are, and will keep communication with them private so the people who are in obvious denial needing psychotherapy can spin their own webs of deceit, self-righteousness, and backstabbing.  I wish for you true peace of mind and a wonderful day.  Patti 

From Kudoz-  I am so sorry I offended you, I guess my brain filter doesn't work so well.  I truley would like to publically opologize to you.  Since I am new, it should be clear that I have yet to be entered into a click.

I am sorry and I don't know what else to say... I apologize also to Darla for bringing her in here when it didn't even involve her name.  I was wrong.  Totally wrong.  I guess I hav en't yet grasped the correct way to help.  I will keep watching and learing.
