Well, the ex's daughter is still not here, but that will change later this week. The ex however, may no longer be an ex. She's comming back, full of apologies and wanting another chance. I will be picking her up at the airport Monday evening, and we'll see what happens when we get home.

And Today In History is on hiatus for now. One of these days I'll see about doing it again. But for now, I'm only dropping in once in awhile when I'm not busy getting ready for the wayward woman to get back here. It should be interesting!

Yes, I have some reluctance to taking her back, but I think there are going to be some differences this time. She has agreed to go to counseling, and I think she learned a big lesson from all this. Just after New Years, things went sour on her with the guy in Germany, so they decided to be just friends, and she realized her daughter would never be happy over there anyways. She was planning to fly back here on the 14th, but when she answered the phone this morning, she found herself talking to this woman who was this guy's other girlfriend, who he was hiding from her the whole time. It shocked her so much when she found out about the other woman that she immediately changed her flight out for this next Monday. I feel it was a case of poetic justice.

I think she's being honest with me right now. We've been talking via Instant Messaging for hours every day, with a few phone calls thrown in. It's a good thing I have known her for over 20 years because I can tell when she is talking shit or not. I will see how things go for awhile when she gets back. She knows one more fuck-up out of her it will be over for good.

I don't really know you or the situation, I'm sorry, but I really hope things work out for you...you seem like a good hearted and brave person for accepting that people make mistakes for all kinds of reasons.
My good wishes.

Hey Wild Bill! Good to see ya back around and, yes, you are missed.

I hope things get squared and stay squared with you and your lady. It's gonna be a tough row to hoe, but I'm sure you already know that.

A fellow (I forget his name) once made an observation about Eleanor Roosevelt that I'll never forget--She got even with her enemies in the cruelest possible way--she forgave them. In your situation, forgiving is tough enough; forgetting is virtually impossible, though. That's going to be the roughest thing for you to deal with. I know from experience.

I wish you the best, ol' pal. Amen.

'True Forgiveness is Forgetting'

Very, very hard to do for most human beings, but possible.

I wish you the very best. If you can truely forgive her, you have a truely Christian heart in my book. Whether you profess to be a Christian or not.

Em, perhaps I'm getting overly semantical, but the truth of what you say depends entirely upon the meaning attached to "forgetting". I would say this--Wouldn't it be wonderful if, in the process of extending forgiveness to someone that you, in turn, could literally be blessed with total amnesia of the transgression? Of course, that is impossible, although it would, without question, bring relief from the painful memory.

I will agree with you, however, in this context--Truly forgiving someone carries an obligation to never again indict that person for the wrong. So, in that sense, it is forgotten, i.e., never mentioned again.

By the same token, perhaps its best that we never lose the memory of what's forgiven, lest we lose the lesson learned. Amen.

*NODS* yes, Jeb. You say things so much better than I do. Everything you said is exactly 'right on target' IMO. Thanx for making it clear.

But you're dealing with fire here, or so it seems to this total stranger on the internet!

Regarding "TIH": It'll always be welcome here by all!
