Says she will continue to pay her half of the rent thru April when the lease is up. I may get to keep little Eddy(the avatar) once in a while. She owns the pink slip on him. Wish I could grab him and dissapear to Canada. He is everything....... -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Idea is a great book in that it explains clearly and intelligibly why it must be so. Closer to home, Mike's loss-connoting music strikes us forcefully, because we know deep down it is truthful. Back to top

She has gone too many times.     Myspace sucks. I got on there and spent an hour going around and around trying to create a musician account. Finally did. Uploaded a photo. Tried to figure out how to upload music......let alone just add somebody elses song. Man it is not user freindly. So I left. -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

On top of that, there is some "artist" out there going by Scatterplot. What I heard by him/her was junk. I've been using that name since 1992. I think I give up. Just glad it was a throwaway tune..... -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

moonchildhippy Group: Members Posts: 1807 Joined: Dec. 2004 Posted: Nov. 27 2008, 18:23 HI Jim, haven't been on here  for a while, but I hope you do get little Eddy back.  I've had a little kitty living with me for 1 1/2 weeks, she'd been lost since the 7th, and she came in through my window on the 17th when it was raining heavily and hasn't left since, despite leaving a window open some of the time for her to escape if she so wished. Her previous owners realised I probably had her yesterday, but I didn't see any posters up for a lost kitty (so didn't seem that bothered). I think they saw that she was at home here and let me keep her.  I cried when I thought I was going to loose her.  She's been a good companion to me these past days, she often stops my mind from thinking negative thoughts. All I need now is for my boyfriend to be here with me, but that's a nuisance when you live 60 miles apart. -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come. I'm challenging  taboos surrounding mental health "Part time hippy" I'M SUPPORTING OUR SOLDIERS BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!! Back to top

The bad part is, there is 5 months to go on this lease and she's paid up till new years and still claims to pay her rent till the lease is up. So, she comes over to get stuff, and the longer time goes by, the more she wants him back. It gets nasty. I have proof she gave him to me in the form of a letter she sent her sister telling her she gave him to me. So if I can survive the bad vibes and insults, I move in April. I can then re-train Eddy to forget her. If I make it 5 more months. She legally has a right to have a key, so I could be at work and......you can guess the rest. After April 1, I'm in control of my new dwelling. -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: Nov. 27 2008, 21:48 Hmm....can you sublet and move somewhere else? Probably a good idea to start looking for rentals that allow dogs. Dogs actually get written into custody arrangements in divorce agreements. When we were going through that, we didn't include Belle and Skye in the settlement, but instead thought of what would be better for them. My ex has a fence, I didn't. He could get home for lunch to let them out; I was often on the road and out of town even when I lived there. But I miss them like hell.  When I was in Missouri in October, they still remembered me.  I would spend time training Eddy to bark at Maggie Thatcher or waking you up if you fall asleep during Voyager, rather than retraining them to forget your gf. He'll eventually forgot her anyway, if he doesn't see her. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris." Back to top
