OT News

Hi Gemini,

Oh a lot can happen in three years, like maybe she will meet someone else in college, LOL.

Hugs,

Nora

One can only hope, Nora! LOL

Her parents (most especially her mother) are unreal. They are blaming Matthew for her lack of morals, and her mother outright said that Matthew is "Satan". They barged into Christina's bedroom the other night while she was talking (quietly) with Matthew on the phone while trying to get her son to lay down to sleep, in a rage and her mother said (Matthew heard her) "That THING on the other end of the phone should know better than to expect you to talk on the phone when you are trying to put Christopher to bed!" Uh huh... Christina was the one who called Matthew, not the other way around.

Then they picked Christopher up while still yelling at Christina and told her she was an unfit mother and threatened to take him away from her legally. Christina told them to put her son down... they refused, and she repeated it a few times before she finally told them if they didn't put him down she would call the police... they still didn't, so she told Matthew that she was hanging up to call 911. She called him back later, and said that she and her mother came to an agreement... she is *allowed* (she's 8 months older than Matthew, and a parent) to see Matthew once a week, and talk with him on the phone or computer twice a week.

Well, she blew that one out of the water.... she has been here to see Matthew twice this week, and has been on the phone and/or computer with him everyday. Hmmm.... she is bringing a lot of this on herself, even though the agreement is a bit unreasonable. Not that I mind the agreement... I could definitely take her not being here or on the phone or computer every single day... it seems more like an obsession than love to me.

And... because of everything that has been happening, Matthew's girlfriend is now on stress pills and her doctor apparently told her she is very close to a nervous breakdown. But yet, she is thinking about quitting her job and signing her son over temporarily (that remains to be seen... if she signs those papers she might as well say goodbye to her son, because I think her mom will find some loophole to keep him forever... like that she is an "unfit mother", like she keeps telling her) so he can have health coverage, and going back to college.

*shrug* Not my life, or my child... I just hope Matthew doesn't get caught in the crossfire when it all hits the fan.

Peace! Gem

- who is very happy to see that this is working. *waving happily at everyone* :o))))

Hi Gem I've been to Kincardine a few times and just adore the place. A few years ago my sister & I rented a cottage for 5 days from a friend of hers at Bruce Beach. We drove into Kincardine many times for meals. One thing I really enjoyed was the piper playing at sundown. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

Hi Shelagh,

Yes, isn't it really lovely there? Unfortunately, we've never been in Kincardine at sundown, so we missed the piper playing.

While you were around that area (Bruce, I mean) did you venture northward to Midland at all? That has to be one of the most gorgeous places on the face of the planet! We go there when we can (once every three years or so, usually) and go to the lookout point on the high hill behind the Shrine at Saint Marie Among The Hurons. I just love standing up on that hill looking out over Georgian Bay and knowing that many years ago explorers and Jesuit priests canoed around there. How awestruck they must have been to look out from that point and see the beauty of nature laid out in front of them. I get awestruck myself, and it isn't raw anymore... considering that there are a lot of buildings below now.... but I look beyond the buildings out onto the actual bay. It is truly breath-taking!

Gem

Gemini, it is lovely to have you back "talking"to us God Bless Gwen

Oh, three years away? That is a long, long time! And, if the relationship lasts that long, maybe it will trun out to be a good one. However, I wouldn't buy a dress for the wedding just yet.

Hugs, Katherine

LOL No worries! In fact I told Matthew a while ago when they were still talking about NEXT summer, "Since you are both having problems with who's church to get married in (or in the park, with both clergy... but her parents wouldn't go for that either), why don't you just elope. That will keep me from having to be in the vicinity of her parents, because you KNOW my mouth can only keep still for a short period of time if they start throwing comments around me." He actually thought that was quite funny, even though he knows it's true!

Peace! Gemini
