    - nmbJD - Spawn Lord May 26, 11:31 18
      - Heh, I said mine before I saw yours. (It's pretty obvious, JD.) -- nm - David May 26, 13:48 1
        
        heh, was just clicking in to see if I actually had posted it when I was thinking it. -- nm - Spawn Lord May 26, 14:10
      - While it may seem like you're wasting your words as I keep countering. It helps to have ST rage on for me - JD May 26, 11:44 7
        
        One thing to keep in mind is that Veronica (I get it now!) is very likely only thinking about herself. - Inigo May 26, 11:50 6
        
        Exactly. And if JD just nods and goes along it justifies her actions. -- nm - Spawn Lord May 26, 11:59 1
        
        Thank to both of you. This one area that I will immediately look into - JD May 26, 12:01
        
        this ... if it's really complex - consult an attoryney - they'll keep your best interest at the forefront when you may not and could have regrets -- nm - JenBro May 26, 11:52 1
        
        eh? attorney even ... sheesh -- nm - JenBro May 26, 11:53
        
        Well on that part I kind of signed up for the bleeding when she did the whole bike shop thing not quite two years ago ;-) -- nm - JD May 26, 11:52 1
        
        If you are the owner or co-owner of that shop, you have to talk to a lawyer asap. - David May 26, 14:00
      - I know and I guess i would have every right to do what - JD May 26, 11:41 7
        
        Okay, will make this the last post. - Spawn Lord May 26, 11:45 5
        
        Please see above and if you feel you have something to say then let me have it - JD May 26, 11:50 4
        
        Thanks. I do not want to come across as gloom and doom but I know that what happens next sets a course for where things will go. - Spawn Lord May 26, 12:01 3
        
        hey....I said I was sorry. -- nm - Remlik May 26, 12:03 2

        he just won't let some thing go. -- nm - Remlik May 26, 12:17
        
        it is pretty admirable that you are taking the high road like this, without even being tempted to be a little vengeful. - Andie May 26, 11:42
    - yeah. there will be a lot of untangling. and lots of emotions (stages of grief). *cyber hugs to you* -- nm - Andie May 26, 11:25
