                                        Hi Bill; Yes it is a very long time since Orlando. It was a wonderful weekend for me. I loved connecting with the people here. I too, miss those not with us. Terribly. Although I still stay in contact with some of the "girls" here, even that is getting infrequent now. It is over 8 years since I am widowed and just over 10 years since I found MPIP. The friendships,love, support and information I got here got me through and sustained me after the loss. It made me laugh, cry and most of all afforded me a place to GO with it all. I hadn't worked in years when he got sick. MPIP also prepared me to re-enter the work place. THAT was hard for me. I got back and greatly improved my typing skills (boy did I NEED that!) the research and information made me comfortable in oncolgy again, even though it had been many years since I worked there. KAG (do you remember sweet Kag??) MADE me  (she was relentless, I would never have done it myself) write my resume and actually got me my first job! A part time travel position with Sanofi to educate on a prostate cancer medication. It was a good start. I'm now in Ambulatory Oncolgy for over 7 years. I'm nationally certified and doing very well in my position. I'm EVEN back in school, online. Who knew I would be going to SCHOOL with my youngest daughter??? We do homework together! And…she is doing great. She is going for Radiation Tech. She has a passion for cancer patients. Who knew??? I am still sad that MPIP is not what it was. I try to explain it to people, but unless you were here, they just can't GET IT.

                                        Here in central NJ/Jersey shore, anxieties about the storm last night were high. We just got some snow. I think it's the anxeties left over from Sandy. Sandy seemed to affect so many of us here. I hope you and Pat are well. Tell her I said HI!!!! Carole A is trying to get some chat going this week. I know it will never be the same, but it will be nice to catch up with some from here. I have a busy week scheduled with work, but I am going to try to come. Hope to see you there!

Pat and I thought you were great. To bad the distances are so far. All the old timers we all had so much fun with. Glad your career is going so well. There is a person on here that can't resist being mean. No implulse control and best ignored. But that behavior drove some of my favorite people away. Still remember you hiding from the camera as if you weren't so darn cute. Million dollar smile and Ms Personality. Nobody is perfect, well except me of course!  Pat says hi. Don't get stuck in the snow. 🙂

                                                  Dear MarieM.

                                                  I have never written to you before, but I really need your advice. I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me.

                                                  The usual signs; phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with ‘the girls’ a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, just some friends from work, you don’t know them.

                                                  I try to stay awake and watch for her when she comes home, but I usually fall asleep.
                                                  Anyway, I have never broached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just did not want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to finally check on her around midnight, I hid in the garage behind my golf clubs so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home from a night out with “the girls.”
                                                  When she got out of the car she was buttoning up her blouse, which was open, and she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on.

                                                  It was at that moment, crouching behind my golf clubs, that I noticed a hairline crack where the grip meets the graphite shaft on my Taylor Made 460 driver.

                                                  Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the PGA Superstore?

                                                                Hello Concerned Golfer;

                                                                Well you certainly had the writing on the wall. The question here is WHAT DID YOU DO TO DRIVE HER AWAY?? When is the last time you really romanced her? Took her out for a romantic dinner? Left her a little note when you went to work? Had her come home to a clean house, a romantic dinner on the table with candles and flowers? The laundry done and neatly folded???  Called her at work when the weather was bad to let her know you were worried about her? Huh? When is the last time you cancelled a golf outing for HER?  Did you , in even a joking way, tell others she had a tramp stamp when she didn't?? THOSE are the things that will drivie a woman into anothers arms. If I've said this once, I've said it a thousand times…." Foreplay begins at breakfast." I suggest you take a look at yourself and make some changes before you lose her forever.

                                                                I can't really advise you on the golf club, although I have heard it can be reflective of it's owners mind. Something to think about.
