update for today - crash davis Sep 11, 08:35 5
- "Stable" is good. Hope the doctors pinpoint the problem and put a stop to it soon. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 11, 09:44
- so when are you taking her the xbox? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 11, 08:37 3
  - the xbox is helping to keep Darcy calmed down, so it will probably stay at home -- nm - crash davis Sep 11, 08:40 2
    - tell darcy that the best way to use that energy is to clean the house and rearrange the furniture. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 11, 08:43 1
      - I'll pass that along :) -- nm - crash davis Sep 11, 09:05
dr.tron error - zork Sep 11, 07:41 3
- It looks like it's a glitch from the way it handles old boards ... hrm. Probably won't get it fixed until tonight. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 09:45
- OK, I'll look into this. Thanks for the heads up :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 09:31
- not an error, your computer has just been infected with Beryvirus. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 11, 08:01
Hey tRU...after catching up...sounds to me like there's not much you can do at this point. - Jim Sep 11, 05:56 1
- I agree with j*mcumber. -- nm - mara Sep 11, 09:06
Bery, you're a genius. I couldn't figure out your "flowers" post 'til now... perfect for Tru. - CrankYanker Sep 10, 22:24 3
- "So I must go back to my room and make my day complete." - CrankYanker Sep 10, 22:33 1

- :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 22:29
Okay, who wants me to test out some new code? :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 21:48 5
- Okay, silence is a yes, here goes! *slams the button* -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 21:51 4
  - ooooo. purty. -- nm - mafic Sep 11, 03:27
  - Okay, the new code is live. Your style sheets may not update right away, but when they do, the changes will be: - Beryllium Sep 10, 21:57 2
    - I noticed that last one and then found this post. That's pretty cool. -- nm - zork Sep 11, 06:07
    - Looks like the sidebar tweaks aren't 100% effective :( -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 22:04
*snicker* Joe Biden asks a lot from a guy in a wheelchair -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:55 1

sigh, st has become a tru sob sorry. I will try to post less. -- nm - tRuMan Sep 10, 14:37 11
- I only wish this had been around when I was going through what I needed to go through - znufrii Sep 10, 18:40 2
  - and, yet, you survived. That's the biggest testimonial to truman you could offer. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 10, 21:35 1
    - indeed, I did. - znufrii Sep 10, 21:36
- Tru, I haven't contributed to the conversation so far because I really have nothing to offer. Just know that I care. -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 10, 15:51 1
  - oh come on, we know you've broken a lot of hearts in your day - CrankYanker Sep 10, 15:57
- Don't curtail any potential catharsis on our account. Nobody's complaining. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 15:27
- play Halo. It saved me from becoming an alcholoic. -- nm - Remlik Sep 10, 15:27
- dude, don't post less if posting helps. -- nm - mafic Sep 10, 15:18
- Don't feel sorry. This is a great place to get advice and get things off your chest. This all helps. My story for what it is worth. - BAD Sep 10, 14:56 1
  - that's quite a story. glad to see it had a happy ending. -- nm - Andie Sep 10, 15:55
- oh hell no, if it helps to sort of talk it out by posting, post it - crash davis Sep 10, 14:47
sigh. i just dont see this as a trial, i think this is going to be permanent -- nm - tRuMan Sep 10, 12:21 13
- wow, this is going from bad to worse in a hurry. At this point, until she leaves and decides whether she likes it better without you or misses you, - CrankYanker Sep 10, 14:20 4
  - honestly, right now, i would contend that god doesn't like me much. -- nm - tRuMan Sep 10, 14:29 3
    - Some of gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers - you never know Sep 10, 14:37 2
      - sigh. - tRuMan Sep 10, 14:46 1
        
        counting flowers on the wall? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:54
- you may have already answered this, but, have *you* been truly happy and fulfilled in your marriage up to this point? -- nm - Andie Sep 10, 13:12 2
  - yes. we have had our bad times, and our good times, but yes - tRuMan Sep 10, 14:28 1
    - Really you should just worry about taking care of yourself right now. You can't influence her. And for what it's worth from what I can tell about - pmb Sep 10, 15:56
- tru, all my best wishes to you - kare Sep 10, 13:03
- even with the other stuff going on, we're thinking of you and wishing you the best -- nm - crash davis Sep 10, 12:55
- Whatever will be, will be. Just ride it out and see what happens - don't act in a way that will force one scenario to occur. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 12:33 2
  - if possible, be over-accomdating, keep a journal of what's happened and when... - Remlik Sep 10, 12:43 1
    - Start stashing cash. -- nm - lileve Sep 10, 13:22
So the new server is working out, Bery? -- nm - mara Sep 10, 12:01 3
- so far, yes. :) Looks like the domains have propagated and everything (even the tron) is operating smoothly. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 12:12 2
  - Is a high-traffic day going to be kind of a test for it? -- nm - mara Sep 10, 16:52 1
    - Pretty much, yup. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 19:09
Did TT just go down, or is my ISP being wonky? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 11:18 1
- Looks like it's back now. Hopefully it's not a major issue. --nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 11:19
that went well - tRuMan Sep 10, 11:15 8
- nothing you are going to say is going to make her happy - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:18 7
  - the problem is that part of the raon she wants space - tRuMan Sep 10, 11:19 6
    - sounds like you are doing what you can. but the stuff needs to come back. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:23
    - best thing you can do right now. Is to show zero emotion. Just get through this... - Remlik Sep 10, 11:22 4
      - I agree with Remlik. - ReluctantCynic Sep 10, 13:44
      - What he said. -- nm - lileve Sep 10, 12:41
      - I think this is good advice ... and the best part is, if you can maintain your cool, you might end up getting a rise out of her. - Beryllium Sep 10, 11:26
      - this is good. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:24
how am i supposed to trust her when she doesn't even follow through on her agreements? - tRuMan Sep 10, 10:46 55
- Ugh - she clearly wants to do what she wants to do regardless of how you feel about it. - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:00 36
  - And inventory everything, ideally with photos and/or record of purchase, if the material stuff matters at all. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 11:02 23
    - we wrote up a list last night, and even signed in showing our agreement on the items. -- nm - tRuMan Sep 10, 11:03 22
      - and she violated the list already? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 11:04 21
        
        it appears so yes. -- nm - tRuMan Sep 10, 11:07 20
        
        Then my advice would be to drop in to hardcore evidence-gathering mode. Gather what evidence you can to defend yourself and get important stuff back. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 11:08 19
        
        the only thing I am apphrehensive about her taking was a box of nicknacks that we have collected from vacations - tRuMan Sep 10, 11:10 18
        
        you two are on two different mental levels right now - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:12 16
        
        nods -- nm - tRuMan Sep 10, 11:16
        
        ^-- listen to epiphany more than you listen to me. I have zero experience with this sort of thing, except .. - Beryllium Sep 10, 11:15 14
        
        there are people here who have been through it. It's remarkable how it normally takes the same course -- nm - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:19 13
        
        And it's really sad how many women seem to be so adept at twisting the system to totally fuck over their ex-husbands. - Beryllium Sep 10, 11:25 12
        
        That was not my experience. It depends on the people involved. -- nm - pmb Sep 10, 15:52
        
        yeah, not really a cool generalization. for one, the women often end up getting the kids and need the financial support - kare Sep 10, 13:02 5
        
        Indeed. My mom got the kids, my dad ended up paying some child support, and that situation went rather well. - Beryllium Sep 10, 13:23 4
        
        sorry you had to go through that. :( -- nm - kare Sep 10, 13:30 1
        
        thanks ... the generalization that kicked all this off is just a dramatization of it, really ... - Beryllium Sep 10, 13:59
        
        (And the bias I drew from it, used in the generalization above, is because the exes were doing the wringing and torturing) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 13:24 1
        
        ... and he made it through all that, only to then die of cancer. So ... yeah. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 13:25
        
        I've seen it go both ways. People can be so mean to the very people they vowed to love their entire life - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:28
        
        thank god for prenups. -- nm - Remlik Sep 10, 11:27 3
        
        i believe in prenups, i've decided. -- nm - kare Sep 10, 13:02
        
        no prenup here -- nm - tRuMan Sep 10, 11:27 1
        
        well protect yourself as best you can. -- nm - Remlik Sep 10, 11:38
        
        Hopefully you haven't heard the A-word yet. - Beryllium Sep 10, 11:12
  - that's tough to hear but probably sound advice. I feel for you - zork Sep 10, 11:02 5
    - It is almost a habit that people get into - they say it and don't mean it - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:06 4
      - honestly, I have used the i'm leaving bit - tRuMan Sep 10, 11:07 1
        
        people do - most people do. I had it explained to me - cause I never said it - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:11
      - no habit, nor constant. not often at all and not without any conviction. - zork Sep 10, 11:07 1
        
        No couple is blithely skating through life. - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:14
  - i know. she still owes me the cards and the checkbook -- nm - tRuMan Sep 10, 11:01 5
    - omg - truman, seriously - get them today. Especially if she is taking stuff out of the house. - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:02 4
      - better yet. Cancel them and change the locks. -- nm - Remlik Sep 10, 11:04 3
        
        I hate this because I with Remlik didn't go through it, and that tru isn't having this happen - but listen to Pete on the credit cards -- nm - crash davis Sep 10, 11:07 2
        
        I can't stress that enough, hopefully your Ex (tru) isn't like that. But call the comapny and suspend the credit cards. -- nm - Remlik Sep 10, 11:12
        
        wish, not with -- nm - crash davis Sep 10, 11:08
- I am very sorry to hear that as well. -- nm - crash davis Sep 10, 10:58
- Hrm. Yeah, that does sound a bit ... uncooperative. I dunno what would be best in that situation. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 10:57
- I'm sorry to hear this.... - Remlik Sep 10, 10:57 15
  - we start with a new counselor next wed. -- nm - tRuMan Sep 10, 11:00 14
    - so why the big rush on her moving her stuff? why can it not stay put for awhile? - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:01 13
      - exactly. Mine went out on a date the week after she left to 'think about things' - Remlik Sep 10, 11:03 8
        
        good lord. - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:08 5
        
        yeah mine went from 'loving me" in her words to moving out a month later....so something was hinky. -- nm - Remlik Sep 10, 11:14 3
        
        clearly she is an idiot. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:15 2
        
        she's something all right. -- nm - Remlik Sep 10, 11:27 1
        
        funny how seeing someone else go through it can give you that feeling in the pit of your stomach again - kare Sep 10, 13:17
        
        i wouldn't say never, but probably not so much for a while at the time. -- nm - zork Sep 10, 11:10
        
        the agreement we wrote up, for a trial separation, states not dating. -- nm - tRuMan Sep 10, 11:04 1
        
        and if you sniff her out if she does, she might accuse you of spying -- nm - zork Sep 10, 11:06
      - she wants space to figure herself out. and she thinks I need space to figure me out. - tRuMan Sep 10, 11:03 3
        
        tru, i think maybe she really really can't think straight right now, and letting her have her own place and some downtime will be the only way to - Andie Sep 10, 12:09 1
        
        this is really good advice. when you're in that state, you truly *need* that space to get perspective. the hardest thing probably is letting go enough - kare Sep 10, 13:12
        
        perhaps, she wants to make any descision without being tied to her stuff being with you - zork Sep 10, 11:04
Birdy num num -- nm - zork Sep 10, 08:31
tru - I just read your post before you went apeshit on the roll. - CrankYanker Sep 9, 15:35
verb. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 9, 13:43 10
- sorry to hear about your marriage troubles, dude. - Guy Sep 9, 23:05
- That's what's happening! -- nm - School House Jim Sep 9, 19:28
- I want a divorce. Just because your dumb computer won't start doesn't mean you should take it out on b2! -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 9, 15:12
- Epic DQ - znufrii Sep 9, 14:31
- Hey... - lileve Sep 9, 14:05 3
  - "persevere" - Dr.Vermin Sep 9, 14:29 2
    - dangit. this is a reply to tRu. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 9, 14:30 1
      - thanks. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 9, 19:10
- vowel! -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 13:47 1
  - *poke* nohomo -- nm - lileve Sep 9, 14:05
