RE: Re Tigger/Sharon/ Judy/Sharon

[Guest guest]

I just posted to Judy that when the weather breaks Judy and I will meet you

for lunch one day and I will drive. I love to drive. It's harder now than

it used to be because I have to stop and take stretch breaks and potty

breaks. The first time that I couldn't make it from RI to Wolfeboro, NH

(where the ex is) I was devastated. I usually stop in town.

I will be up there for sure and I'll drag Judy kicking and screaming all the

way.

Yeah, it bothers me that I can't reach the ex. He's been through the

wringer too. He's a good man, but doesn't think he deserves to be happy.

He was in Vietnam and was pulled from death twice after hitting a bridge on

his motorcycle. He used to have an alcohol and drug problem, but age has

taken care of a lot of that. I'm just worried about him. He knows too that

when I start worrying, something usually is wrong. I can't even reach one

of his friends. I'm really worried.

Hi All- Judy where are you Newport RI?, and you have NO SNOW either, went to

MA. on tues for our Dr. appts, and there wasn't a flake on the ground to

show it had even been winter, the odd thing we were in Gloucester 10a-3p,

but I didn't realize they were without snow like we have here in ME., until

well on our way back up to 95 headed home!, this is how observing I am these

days, also why I feel that new member who gave up on us because she was

upset thinking it was to clique, and no one would respond to her post, If

your still on my apoligy again, as I don't register things alot of times

unless thrown in my path! But getting back to RI so Judy, Ruth/tigger, and

H you are all in this state?, and kind of far apart from each other?

Tigger do you have snow?, it is snowing like crazy up here now!!!!,

yesterday I to saw a bird in my tree, and hoped spring was coming, poor

bird, must be freaking out today wants the sun, like me. Tigger where is

your ex-boyfriend

living?, I hope you hear from him and I am like you in anytime I have had a

dream about my daughter's father, they will come in sequence for over about

a mo, out of the blue they appear as I don't though have a relationship with

him on any level, tried one time but he want to go back to 28 yrs ago, and

it just doesn't work that way, but when I have had this, or have had him pop

in my thought for some reason, usually I do get a report, a blast from the

past notice about something with him. I hope since you have a good repore

with him you are able to get in touch, and if alright, let him know he needs

to keep you posted no matter what through someone else even so you don't

worry. My bro-in-law did not leave to head to his arrival in P.town due to

this weather, marine weather is way to rough, he has a long steam from

here!, NE wind for next couple days. So Tigger tell me again are you closer

to mass. line in your state then the other towns I mentioned? Are you close

to

Point Judith?, how far from the airport? When things get better, and weather

warms you will drive up this way? You must like to drive?, I have become a

anxious driver, when it comes to highways, after living out in Ca where

there are 6 lanes, merging from both sides coming at you etc. the highway

gives me panic attacks! If I could travel a country rd through all the

states I would do it. Anyway, my husband is planning on going up to his

neices and pick up the stuffed fish he had he and I caught last summer, I

love pole fishing, but get sea sick going out on a boat, which I bought few

yrs back thinking I was going to learn to take it myself out on Damariscotta

River and do this and get some sun and relaxation, have only been in it once

with my husband we went by boat to Boothbay to dinner, that was 9yrs ago!

The boat has almost no mileage on it. I would love to have some of you come

up here and see me. I am alone most of summer as Philip my husband will be

gone

6-12 days at a time once he starts his scallop season out of New Bedford. I

also hope to see Point Judith in whatever life time I have left. Hope all is

well. Hope for lighter days, and Spring weather, my Rt hip also giving me

h-ll!, along with the whole darn sacriiliac! Take Care Sharon

Are you guys talking about me? I have no snow here either. My hip finally

srarted to feel beter although I still have to rest it so I don't regress.

But I have all the luck and yesterday my broncial cough started up. I was

laying down talking with my mom and walked her to the door to leave and

started coughing. That sounds like no big de3al except that it caused me to

throw up my lunch and pulled the muscles in my chest and both my arms. I

even had to take muscle relaxers. Today the dr called in my cough medicine

with codine. Will I ever get well enough to enjoy this year.

On the good side, I've been listening to the birds singing. Soon my

grandchildren will be out fishing again. I think I'll send my husband with

them because he is retiring in September.

Tomarrow everyone in Newport is Irish and we have the parade. it's suppose

to rain and it is never cancelled. When I was a kid I even had to march when

it was hailing. We've had it in the snow and in lucky years it is warm and

people dress in short sleeves.My daughter has her green eye lashes,

makeup,jewelry and clothes.
