Okay, when does this vacation thing start. Guess I'll need a few bucks, lets see adventure land, and the keys, yes I think that will work. I'll still pick up the bus, not a problem. By the way Rance, my hubby calls me the navigator, and I've never gotten us lost (he has but that is another story).

Glad to hear YM is finally on her way back. Hopefully there were some fun filled times for her and her daughter.

rofl you guys crack me up . I have got to stop going to bed so early all the "cool kids" stay up late.

I am glad YM is on her way home safely.

ok do any of you remember the roaming dinners they use to have ? drinks at one house, appitizers at the next and so on ......
we could sort of do rances trip like that
starting in Jax we could then load up both the bus and the people at each stop
neeener neener I get the "shotgun" cause I am getting on first
the one talent I can offer other than the DJing ( BTW I have the "Rocky Horror" album )
Is I know the exact number of people you can fit in the bathroom on a bus at one time.
I find ways to entertain when I get bored, and I was very bored one time on a bus trip from Washington DC to Phila.

At this particular juncture...I will be off for 2 weeks from Decmeber 5th to the 17th. Now this could change come October. But I should have it hammered in stone by November. Karla...are there any motorhome rental places in your area. PM me or something.

P.S. Can I bring a guest? She wants to ride the roller coasters and hike the everglades and see gators as bad as I do.

hey all, can we start a new thread so we can get back on topic please? I've enjoyed the ramblings and would love to join your caravan...maybe in another thread though. Sorry to be a party pooper.

Yorkie Mom must be having all those pangs, asking all those questions and with a partner who wants to hang on, it ain't going to be easy, unless one is firm in one's own conviction that it is the right decision at the right time.

Just my (un)educated guess, is all!
Well said, ontheroad. Life is complicated, people are complicated, situations are complicated. And no one even knows what's really happening, only that her husband came along on the scouting trip. Jumping to conclusions and making assumptions and even worse, making thinly veiled accusations that she's a liar out to get attention, is unfair to Yorkie_Mom. I thought she's not only a moderator here, she's been a friend to everyone. I'm sure she'll be very sad reading this thread.

As verbally abusive as her husband sounded, it seemed to have gone both ways. Incidents she shared about his family and that her family will have nothing to do with her make me think that this isn't so simple as a relationship that needs to be over. Sometimes our pain can become our obession. It comes to define us. And it is very convenient to hold someone other than ourselves accountable for our unhappiness.

From my subjective perspective, if he didn't hold a gun to her head and jump in the car with her, then she is comfortable where she is with him. Many publicly and privately encouraged her to get counseling. Many publicly and privately expressed concern for the unhealthy relationship she was carrying on with her daughter.

I wish her the best, as she has been nice and caring to many on here, me included. But sometimes, even in VL, to continue to support someone, when it appears that they are not doing any of the work, is not being helpful and supportive, it is enabling them to prolong the sickness. As long as there are crutches for some to use, they will never go about getting themselves healed.

I really think it's time to end this sad thread. At least temporarily. If Yorkie_Mom decides to come back here, I hope she will explain everything. If she doesn't, it's even more unfair to accuse someone who can't defend themselves. Let's move on, please. For those who feel hurt, I have this consolation: you are all good, helpful people. Let's not spoil it now, please. Thank you.
