OT: Yoooo Hooooo!!!! Read Me!! ( Stopping In For A Visit)

Kaytee -- I was talking to my friend Steve (the CA man I haven't met yet) about the property values in the Central Valley, and how inexpensive it is there right now. Man, I would hang on to that land if I were you. You know the link I sent around, about Rancho Santa Margarita? I can see someone coming in and buying up a shitload of land around you and developing it. If the pollution there is not too bad, one of these days someone is going to see it as perfect.

I wouldn't be surprised if Carol didn't buy one or two farms in that area when she sells the big house, LOL. The price is just not to be believed!

And, if you want to sell or need to sell or whatever, well honey -- do what you need to do. I am sure I will find another place to dwell, LOL.

Actually, I am OK about leaving Marquise, which is weird, but I am. He was the one throwing the little hissy fit. Kids like to get things their way, LOL. He will be OK.

I'll be counting the days, sweetie!

And who knows, once you've landed, maybe YOU'LL be the recipient of a roadtrip crew!

Drive safe, get home soon.

It's already "filling up"-- my father had been complaining about all the traffic on "his" road, and at least 3 of the across the road type neighbors are living in what used to be just fields when my father moved there in 1992. The two main developement problems are water and distance from "town"-- the first one is the limiting factor that would prevent establishing desirable "town" facilities closer to Carrisa Plains, and without those facilities, residential development is limited also. I think the 40 acre lot is by law-- can't be subdivided further.

At least two places really close to "The Ranch" had "for sale" signs when I was up there a few weeks ago.... I can give you the name/# of a local real estate agent, if you're interested. If Carol & her hubby move there, maybe mine wouldn't be so adament about not wanting to have anything to do with the area.... They could start their own little medical lab practice in the barn, or something, and shoot squirrels between PAPs....

All these acronyms are confusing to me. Can we just call these guys "FH" for short? After all, they have to be "F"ed in the "H"ead not to want women as great as you guys.

I strongly suggest getting a credit card that gives you frequent flyer miles, charge everything you can on it, and pay the full balance monthly. By doing that, I was able to fly my adopted brother, his wife and their two kids here in just under two years of accumulating miles. I went right back to my mile squirreling ways, and have enough to take DD and me to Europe, first class. We'll do that as soon as she is old enough to handle the wheelchair, etc for me (maybe another year or so).

Also, get on the Sothwest Airlines weekly specials mailing list. Years ago, DD and I flew from Proviidence, RI to Portland, OR for $99/each, R/T It's pretty easy to squirrel up a hundred bucks, if you have to. They have specials like that all the time, and if you could get your godson to see you once or twice a year, it would make things so much easier for both of you.

Just do the moving. Don't make extra work for yourself by even thinking about posting. Even if we whimper piteously about missing you.

Becki...I haven't posted much on this topic.

I am *very* glad you are coming out. I am glad that you are taking control over your life.

OPEN offer...if you ever come up to Northern California, and want a place to stay, just LMK. Got a spare bedroom that you can have! 1/2 way between SF/Berkeley, and Sacramento. Good base, if you want to visit both.

Just an offer...and it *is* out there!

I decided this year that I was going to get on with my life without TMILWDLMB. I can't actually move away because (luckily) he doesn't live in the same state. I

I don't e-mail him, I don't call him and I haven't even had much time to think about him lately. I took down all photos.

But I swear he is psychic. He called two nights ago just as I was falling asleep. Wanted to know how my mom was doing. When I asked how things were with him, he told me has a girlfriend who lives in another state who will be good at helping him save his house from being sold. Romantic, eh?

I thought that would hurt, but surprisingly it didn't. It did make me wonder why he was spending an hour on the phone with me instead of the "girlfriend unit", as he put it.

You know what? He doesn't even begin to deserve me.

Hang in there, Becki. The right man who will love and adore you and treat you like the wonderful woman you are is out there somewhere. Same for me.

Love you bunches,

Linda2

Linda2 -- I'm glad to hear you are considering letting it to. I worked for this man, and couldn't resist working for him again when he called the second time, and fell right back into my version of the relationship Which to him, was just sex while he was in a relationship with someone else (NO SHIT). It is embarassing to say that I wanted to be with someone who would act like that, but there it is. Of course, when I found THIS out I quit seeing him, but my heart was already hooked by this time. I am glad I can move. I live just a few streets away from his office, and not far from his home. I see him everywhere. I want to get the f*ck away from him. It is my fondest goal in this world.

Becki "In between the moon and you, the angels have a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right." -- Counting Crows

Also, I need to say this for me. I'm not telling Linda or anyone else what to do.

But had I stayed in Ohio, the money I used for moving was going straight to therapy, and when I get to CA, I am going to be looking for a job with benefits so that I can see a therapist again. I haven't seen one in years, but I am not proud. I want to heal whatever it is within me that attracts this kind of shit. I didn't know he was going to act like that before I agreed to be with him again -- I do give myself credit for that, and for getting out when I found out how disgusting he viewed our relationship. However, why him? What was the attraction and how do I make it stop?

The one thing I want out of next year is an answer to that question. Becki "In between the moon and you, the angels have a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right." -- Counting Crows

Well, I am excited about the development possibilities and I haven't even seen the land yet, LOL. Working last year for a home builder and developer made a monster out of me -- I see the possibilities in land now. Water, sewer and trash are just infrastructure and just details that can be overcome, for the right price.

Becki "In between the moon and you, the angels have a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right." -- Counting Crows

Becki, by thinking about it, questioning, and getting back into therapy, you'll find your answers.

I have come to my theory about these things--I believe we look for opportunities to work out issues. We are here to practice and learn and we set ourselves these little hidden tasks. Its very good to find out what it is one is trying to "prove" in the experiment.

You are learning all the time! Sarajane

you are welcome. I don't think anyone need ever feel badly about a decision to leave the burning building, or getting into the lifeboat when the ship's going down. Who wants to be "strong enough to stick the course" when the ceiling's coming down in burning chunks on youur head??? Grab the kiddies, the pets, the valuables, and get the heck out of range!!!

Thank you!

This is a very worthy search. I went through something similar after the Boy who Broke my Heart moved to Illinois, and I guess I worked it out because the next man I met was Moxley. I was celibate for a year, which, for me, was quite an accomplishment! ;)

GOOD GIRL!!!!!

Good luck Becki. I know my move from Atlanta to Asheville (where I knew NO ONE) was scary, but one of the best things I've done for myself.

You go girl!
