Hello mate, i'll have to think about that because there may be some quite personal stuff in what I have to say however I might PM you instead lets wait and see, but I'm not doing anything yet until she gives me the heads up as she may well knock me back I really have no idea where her head is at currently, she seems to be changing from being quite cold and off-putting to being compassionate, thoughtful, and kind, this is one of the reasons I need to see her in person in order to try to suss her out, she is also having distressing episodes apparently but she hasn't expanded on those as yet I suspect she means that she is still having the panic attacks at times, she needs help but I bet she hasn't sought any, anyway if I hear something I will post in here and we can take it from there, thanks mate I really appreciate your offer of help you are a good cyber pal to me.

No mate your wrong, not only are you holding the wrong end of the stick, your actually holding the wrong end of the wrong stick, how long have you been with your wife 20 years is it ?, that's a success story for 20 years you successfully maintained a relationship, I was 19 years, LDT 15 years, you 20 years, 19 + 15 + 20 = 54 years between us that we sustained our relationships with our partners, if they are stupid enough to want out for no reason then that's their bloody stupid problem, it's not our faults, we did nothing wrong, we didn't fail they did they are failures we are successful we made it work, your wife must be mad to leave you, LDT's husband the same, all 3 of our partners are idiots to leave us after all we have done for them, and ronnocco's wife what a nice bloke he is, nuts to them all I say let them all sod off.

Well silence is golden, I have had no reply so either she hasn't read it or she is ignoring me, my money is on the latter, oh well sod this I'm not flogging a dead horse indefinitely I'm going to start slowly withdrawing myself from this situation, as our good friend ronnocco has eluded to I am going to make myself ill so we are fast approaching the time where I completely drop the rope and concentrate solely on me and my life, oh well at least I've got haggis and tatties for lunch.

I forced myself, but it was a crackingly good haggis grommit, I finished the lot, nice and warm with white pepper, I love things like haggis they are so normal, so simple, and so tasty, I don't understand fussy eaters, yes it's the lambs pluck of heart, liver, kidneys, lungs etc but so what it's all good stuff, rather a nice haggis than a crappy mcdonalds or BK, at least you know what your getting, feeling stuffed now that was the most I have scoffed in weeks.

I'm going to have kettle cooked potato chips later while I pack and try not to panic.

My cable/internet company has been driving me crazy. For some reason they're having trouble putting the order in to transfer services to my new apartment. I was on the phone for literally a few hours yesterday, and it's still not resolved. I want to bang my head against the wall...

I have a feeling I'm going to be without service for a little bit.

Well keep in touch the best you can we worry about you, out if interest have you ever tried haggis ?, I know I have seen Bourdain trying it and loving it but have also seen Guy Fieri run away from it, but it truly is a classic Scottish dish and tastes fabulous, as Burns said " it is the chieftan of the pudding race" no truer words have been wriiten, I just wish I could of kept it all in, had a dodgy incident since I snaffled all my haggis.

I didn't know that. I've never had haggis. Sounds like you really liked it though, Ralf.

Couldn't I make my own haggis at home, though? I found some recipes from Alton Brown.

Do you like haggis, NDY? I know it's a Scottish dish, but I don't like every dish here. I don't want to make assumptions.

Can't stand the bloody stuff. It is, as we say here in Glasgow, minging.

After looking at what you put in haggis, I don't think I can eat it, either. I am squeamish. I wonder if Chosen likes haggis? You might be alone in this, Ralf.

Yeh it's absolutely lovely, but I love offal of any kind, liver, kidneys, heart you name it I love it, I love black pudding and white pudding even had pig intestines in France & Malta, the only thing I truly don't like is tripe, had it in Malta, Italy, & France and while the sauces are lovely the texture of the tripe makes me gag, I think the oddest thing I ever ate was jellyfish in a Sicilian restaurant in Sliema I just couldn't see the point of it, it wasn't horrible and neither was it nice, it just was, luckily we weren't paying for it as I had done some publicity work for a large PLC in Malta and when they found out we were on the Island they insisted on taking us out for dinner, the rest of the food and wine was great though, it was expensive I'm glad we didn't pick up the tab for that.
