All, I actually have some good equity in this house and have another on a lake. If we get into a bind....you, my friends, are coming to Texas, until we get on our feet. We will make it one way or another!
I can see Me and Bruun with our garbage bags fetching cans and bottles around the lake! Bruun, we will be rich! :-)
Anyway forgot about the spelling thing Red..LOL, that was a funny/stupid one on my part.

Love y'all....
Oh, I saw Dolphin Tale today with my daughter:upset: A must see happy movie.

Love ya,
LL:l

Welcome, Red. Sorry if your thread got a little trashed up while you were gone, Red. Happy to delete the rest of the Dork/Zork conversation if you would like...Cass

Lush, looking forward to living on the lake and doing the world's recycling with you. Rudy, would like to see your six pack abs...

What a way to leave, though. Tracey comes to mind too. I thought she had great insightful posts though often controversial. Never understood why people got so upset.

So now those of us still struggling have fewer group meet-ups (no Murph thread which was THE most popular on MWO) and no Murph. Its a shame.

I wanted Murph to leave when I saw what was happening but they already got him going.
You know Murph, the last word is his.
I've talked to him, I feel some responsibility in all this and I feel so burdened by it.

I don't understand it. Why can't the majority win? Why can't the powers that be allow an apology, slap on the hand, and let him back into our world?
I remember the incident with Tracey too. People came out of the woodwork that never had any interest in our discussions before. But they got rid of her and then went back in their own little world...again.
Every day that goes by that he is not here someone is sinking further and losing the battle.
And no, this is not only about Baclofen, it is about alcohol destroying life after life.

Whatever happened to the old saying about sticks and stones?

Anyway, glad to see you Bruun:l

Great post, LL. I also thought about Tracey as well. Never had any problem with her and really enjoyed reading a lot of what she wrote. But things really ended up going sour. I miss Murph too, though I didn't much contribute on his thread (though I always enjoyed reading it whenever I stopped by). All of this nonsense was going down just as I was coming back to the forum.

Sorry to hear about your house not selling, LL. I got incredibly lucky. Almost a year after we split, my ex finally decided to put our house up on the market. I've been paying my share of the mortgage the entire time, and he was still working on fixing it up, with the intention to sell (the ENTIRE place had to be completely redone at the time that we bought it - this is NOT something I would recommend getting into! It was so draining, to both finances and energy.). But after he'd gotten almost everything done, he was actually thinking about keeping it, and getting my money back out of it looked bleak. But he came to me a few weeks ago (we work together) and told me he'd decided to sell. We got a good offer that we accepted 5 days after we put it on the market. This is due solely to the area, I'm sure. Even when we bought the house at one of the lowest points of the economy, this particular subdivision was what our realtor called a "bubble seller's market". Anyway, sorry for the long-winded story. I got lucky, and though we'd hoped for a higher offer, we'd both decided that we can't be greedy in times like these. I hope yours sells soon. :l

Red, I know a lot of people that decided to let their houses go into foreclosure. It sounds like you're doing everything right. Good luck!

Oh, and Rudy, I would love to see your six pack abs!! No matter how low I've gotten my body fat %age, mine have remained hidden. :upset:
And I'd also love to hear how you got them!! Abs can be so stubborn! Though I'd be happy with a flat hard stomach, even if the abs aren't visible. I decided I had to vastly change up my routine, because my body just stopped responding to what I was doing.

Dose - thanks for the tip about the Firefox addons. I use Firefox but apparently am not getting as much out of it as I could be! It's like apps for my phone - I don't know what to download unless someone tells me about it!

Red - 36??? Wow. We got our first "cold" front of the season last night, and I was excited because it was supposed to get down into the 60s. I woke up this morning and walked outside to find that it was 72?. Considering it's normally in the low 80s in the morning, that's actually a big improvement! The humidity did drop a lot, so it's actually rather pleasant out. But I had really been looking forward to some Fall weather (and yes, for us, ths 60s IS Fall weather!).

hey lushie,
i don't know why you think you had anything to do with his leaving...
and yes, i am troubled by his NOT bowing out before the sharks had their feeding frenzy. i think it was the same day as that when i saw a 'medium' episode involving a hostage-taker, and the hostage didn't cooperate w the guy w the really big gun. stubborn fool. but he was luckier than murph; he did not get killed. i wish murph had bowed to their bravado, too. then he'd still be here. i don't know why he didn't, if not bow, at least bow out for a sec.

so often i read someone's post and i think 'murph would know what to say.' or i know exactly what he would say, but can't bring myself to do it in his stead. what a waste and a loss.

lushie, stop blaming yourself. but if you care to, please explain why you do.

red, it's about the same temp here, too. a little too cold, too fast for me. seems like transition weather is going the way of the polar bears. and murph. argh. ok, too depressing.

is, um, i really dunno what i did to get this stomach. seems like just when i was getting really sick of my belly flab, it went away. i guess that was around the same time that i stopped drinking and started rowing. since i was already in pretty good shape when i started rowing, it never felt like much of a workout. but then i realized that each time we hit the creek, it was like doing an hour and a half of gentle, slow crunches. that, and the lack of booze, probably explains a lot. oh, and i have that kinda genetics that annoys people. not only does my face not show my history (so much boozin but people still dont' believe i'm 41 and 3/4), my body is very resilient and responds quickly to a little exercise. (and also to a little touch, but i ain't getting none of that these days!) anyway, you're giving me courage, and tempting me to show my stuff. but of course i'll examine the picture very carefully before doing it, making sure there's fully six beers. don't want anyone to accuse me of coming up short on the count.

good luck with your house stuff everybody. i was very very lucky for having bought mine in '99, 100 mi north of nyc. after 9/11, prices here skyrocketed. at one point only a few years after i bought it, my property had more than doubled in 'value'. (in fact, it almost tripled!) that's why i can get so much money to do the needed work to keep this house from crumbling. equity is a very good thing, and sometimes it feels like i stumbled into it very much by accident. but they say there are no accidents. guess i'm just lucky.

There have been many times that I've wanted to put a after a post, but The Mob had ruined that emoticon for me. So, in order to bring it back and honor Murph, I say we all put a after our posts for the next couple of days

I again, lost a lengthy reply!

Rudy,
I responded to someone who bad mouthed Murph and I should have either been off line or ignored it and let it go away. I told Murph to leave when the heat started but you know Murph. Chivalry I believe is Red's term.
Redthread, Cass had NOTHING to do with this. He was and is trying to keep us together.

Is, thanks on the house stuff. The drought has killed us here. I am trying to keep my grass any color but dead:-). My water bill is about to reach the deficit!

It's all gonna be okay. Let Murph back you idiots that let him go. Reading is fundamental.
Read. Please read.

Love all of you!
LL:l

Speaking of idiots, your thread has dropped to a 3. I believe the last 3 IDIOTS grading your thread have never read it.

Luscious and Is, Tracey got kicked off because she kind of lost it. She started posting all sorts of angry stuff. I'm not so sure she should have been kicked off, but she did go crazy. Tracey was convinced Otter was posting under different identities. She was so convinced, I wondered if it were true. After spending some time here, I am pretty certain she's wrong. PS. Otter, you shouldn't leave. You have you own ways, and they are sometimes interesting, but you bring valuable information to us. Thank you! I'm sure I am no different, in a different way.

Luscious, I wonder if what happened is because we aren't the majority. We are the minority on this forum. GD is the majority, this is one of the main reasons this could and did happen. She reminded us, he had been warned before. He had warnings, he openly discussed it on his thread. I'm not so sure the complaints were made by bac takers to begin with. It might have been 'some' in GD. Not everyone to be sure (I'm not bashing GD people). It was also said by She, that some men on bac, didn't like Murph's posts either. I have been thinking about this a bit. Most of the men posted at one time or another...but not all. Murph didn't let it go because that's not who he is. It's one of the reasons we all adore him. I'm glad you went down with a fight Murphy. Please don't beat youself up about it Luscious. It wasn't you who caused this to happen.

Ru, Is, and Redhead (would I put a colon, semicolon, or comma after labeling three people? Somehow I think you guys will know the answer .). Six pack abs? Boy, do I want them. I think it's absolutely awesome you have them Ru. If you want to post pics, I'm sure 'everyone' would love to see. To make Is and Redhead feel better, I will say this. I couldn't help but notice in your pics Is, that you have some attributes on your frame. I do too. I'm thin now, but I have said attributes. A coworker commented on it the other day. Maybe it's possible to have a flat belly (or flatter in my case, we are our own biggest critic), but not be able to obtain a six pack with said attributes? I don't know, but that's what I tell myself. We win some and we lose some, right ladies?

SP, actions speak louder than words...so there you have it.

Nighty night yu'all (I'm not sure that's right Luscious, but I tried!).
