The Fruitcake is Leaving the Building....

lulu · 07-29-2007, 03:03 PM

Hey guys, I will be gone for a while. My husband has abandoned us. He took the cable boxes out while I was gone today and is having the cable turned off tomorrow. No cable...no internet. I will try to get to the library when I can but with my work schedule, I wont really expect it. I will most likely not have the same phone number by the end of August (or even a phone) because the phones are in his name too and he will be taking those.

No worrys....my children and I will be fine. It will probably take me a few months to figure out how to handle the finances on my own.

I will miss all my buddies. Love you guys.

Bye!

Oh no Crystal, I thought you were only kidding in the last post I answered. I am so

to hear this news.
I wish there were some way I could

you out. I know you are having a hard time and will

for you.

Will you have the same home address? Or will you be moving? Gosh I really wish we lived closer to each other, I do hope you get to go to the library and keep us posted to how things are going for you. We will worry until we hear.

Take care and know we are here for you.

Love ya

okay , I am having computer problems this a.m. so I am going to try to post as long as it will let me.
Lulu, I am so glad you called me last night. I hope you will be able to pop in here at some point and know that we are all

ing for you.

DeeDee, as you can tell I talked to Lulu last night. She is as always keeping up the brave front but she definitely needs our

ers. I am going to call her in a couple of days to check on her. I know she is a very strong lady but she definitely needs us. I just hate that she will be losing internet and phone service. They are her lifelines that she needs right now. Anyway, I will keep everyone posted as I hear from her.

DeeDee · 07-31-2007, 09:50 PM

Polly thank goodness for you being able to contact Crystal and keep us updated. I do worry about her. I know she puts on the good front but also know she is hurting very much. Who wouldn't be. My

ers are going up for her.
Yes

tell her we love her and will be thinking of her and sending

ers and lots of

. I wish she wouldn't be losing contact with us but hopefully she will get to the library or somewhere to get back to us soon.

Polly · 08-01-2007, 06:11 AM

DeeDee, I'm afraid Lulu will probably not be able to find time to go to the library. And if she gets her phone turned off it will be really bad. And you are right , she keeps up the good front but she is hurting and I'm sure she is

too. I know she is strong but it has to be hard. I am going to try to find some time to call her tonight. I have been trying to get our camper ready for the trip to the state fair so and take care of Summer so my evenings have been a little

, like me,

. Anyway, I will let you know tomorrow if I get a hold of her or maybe tonight if I have time I will pop in and post. Have a good day,

DeeDee · 08-01-2007, 08:39 PM

Polly I guess she lives too far for you to visit her also huh? I wish we all lived closer. I sure hope she is able to keep her phone or get one in her own name. That is not good to be without a lifeline like that.

Hope you get chatting with her. We have to keep her spirits up.

Polly · 08-02-2007, 05:28 AM

yeah, I wish it was just like an hour away or something. I sure would like to give her a hug right now. I didn't get to give her a call last night. Some things came up I had to deal with and then it was kind of late so I was afraid to call that late. I will try to do it tonight.

DeeDee · 08-02-2007, 10:29 PM

I hope you get to talk to her soon Polly. I really worry about her and want to be sure she is doing ok. I didn't get a chance to get anything off to her today.
My son was here with the baby all afternoon. They have to be out of the apt. by September 1st and they both were very

today. The people running a business downstairs were complaining about the noise the baby was making. Well c'mon, its the middle of the day, he runs an air conditioning business so not that many people come to the store, he does most by going out. They have been pains in the butt and steady complaining since they rented the place and today was the final straw. They even left a note on the car one day saying if they didn't move it, they would find it all scratched. I would have taken it to the police.
Oh well, now the kids are on the hunt for a house or apt. Keep your fingers crossed they get one soon. Tiffany doesn't need this stress right now. Its not a good situation where they live.

Sorry about that, I kind of ranted and went off topic a bit. Sending lots of

to Crystal.

I got my internet turned on today! YIPPEE!!! I am back. Thank you all so much for your well wishes and

ers.

Now....how to keep those pesky teenagers off the computer long enough to use it....

DeeDee · 08-12-2007, 09:58 PM

That is terrific news lulu. So glad to see you back with us. Glad you got your internet back now.

lulu · 08-13-2007, 09:12 PM

Thanks, DeeDee. It sure is nice to be back. I was having severe withdrawal!

DeeDee · 08-13-2007, 09:48 PM

I bet you were and while you were gone, we were having severe "lulu withdrawals". Now we are all better again.

lulu · 08-15-2007, 09:24 PM

You are too funny. I won't be going anywhere for a while!

AND...

DeeDee,

so much for my surprise in the mail. It was a very much needed piece of heaven from a very special

.

DeeDee · 09-06-2007, 09:08 PM

Lulu, you are very

for your little surprise in the mail. You deserved it. I sure hope you sat and enjoyed it too.
