Thinking Of Going Back To The Islands.... (1 Viewer)

Is that why why was mad when she found out you passed on it?

Again, in hindsight, had we made that move (to Bend), I would have probably lost only $50k on her business, as opposed to the +$125k I ultimately lost.....severance notwithstanding.

No disrespect intended, but our recollections of these things are 100% apart since you split with your wife. Anyway, off to get my sleep.

Yes, get some sleep............it'll all come back to you.

I checked with Chris, That job came open in January, 2009 and they would have held it for you until sometime in February, 2009. When were you laid off? Wasn't it November or December of 2008? Or am I wrong on this one?

Sorry, you might want to re-check your facts. You're off by a whole year. The position was open in January, 2008. I wasn't informed of my layoff until October, 2008. By that time, the position had been well filled. We moved back to Portland in March, 2009.

Dont you have kids ABM? You'd never see them if you moved to Hawaii.

Two grown step-daughters (for SURE they'd come visit!). I do have three (step) grandchildren.....whom the ex is doing everything in her power to keep me from seeing. All I can come up with there is...they love me more than they love her...and she's terribly jealous/vindictive. Truly, it's a sucky situation...at best.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Gotcha! I thought you had younger kids of your own.
You only live once... move to Hawaii... go for it!

 

[tlongII]

ABM, I think you should give it a shot. Life's too short to have lots of regrets. God knows I have my share of those. You can always come back in a year or two if things don't seem to be working out like you envisioned. I think your step-daughters would appreciate having somebody in Hawaii they can visit too!

Who was it that had a long thread about their divorce a year or so ago? Cant remember the posters name.

Was it NateDog? Not sure.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

ABM, my life long friend, here is the one indispensable piece of advice I could give you if you;re moving to Hawaii to live out your fantasies- take a friggin' big bottle of Penicillin with you. You're gonna need it.

Sounds like the ex was nuttier than a squirrel turd.

Yeah, they're not blood related right?

I kid, I kid.

Yes, it was ProudBFan who was spilling his guts on the board. Every little detail. Then he just vanished. Hope his ex didn't harm him or anything.

He went to Hawaii to fulfill a fantasy.

Just quit fulfilling your fantasies through me.

In all fairness, though.....the trip began as a non-fantasty.....yet morphed into one over time and convo.

Ew. Now you're creeping me out.

Lets find out how bad ABM really wants to go back to Hawaii, between the two of us I'm sure we can get him on the No Fly List.

Yeah, like setting up a date for the evening I'm at your place to watch the super bowl. I'll turn the lights off when I leave. Anything else I can do for you?

Yeah, the dishes. Thanks.

PS: When you call me later to ask how it went, I'll be careful to share all the, uhm, particulars.

Will I get to see the video? The others were, uh, interesting.
