A Silver Lining for Every Cloud...sort of

First, the bad news: we just found out that someone we once trusted stole over two grand from us several years ago...totally weird and creepy. The mysterious missing funds are now explained, but in an unfortunately sad way.

Now the great news: The wedding invites for Gordo's #1 kid just came in the mail! Yay! Funny how little pieces of paper make things "official". It's a western culture thing, I guess. Asians just laugh at our obsession with getting things in black & white. When I lived in Japan a buddy of mine there told me about going to see "Little Mermaid" (yes, this was a few years ago) and how the Tokyo audience roared with laughter when Ariel signed the contract with the Sea Witch...you know, like it's a big deal or something (stupid gaijin).

Hm, that puts me again in mind of the person who stole from us for some reason. Feh...enough with the negative waves already, I hear wedding bells. Luckily, Liz is cool and I don't have to get her anything from here.

  1. Hello arse;

    Links to my blog (and those of others) are constantly being posted on FC, so it's just business as usual. Nobody from FC ever bothers us, so it's a non-issue (for me, anyway). Nobody is really "stalking" anybody as far as I know, in the true sense of the word. If MW didn't show up on FC he wouldn't know people were talking about him (horrors!), and eventually that would stop, too.

    Whom do you think bailed out the horse? You get one guess.

    Basil has several choices of situations should she choose to make a decision to move on. No worries there. Right now she is really trying to make the best of her choices, so she gets points for effort. She at least seems to have made a conscious decision to give up the FC habit, which if true is one of her better moves in the last couple of years. It's a cesspit.

    Although I do poke my nose in at FC occasionally (say, for instance, when I see a lot of hits on my blog), and therefore have a fair idea of what transpires there, I still appreciate the heads up!

    My opinion on the "threats" is that they have already gone as far as they will be likely to go. MW is a reactor, not an actor. Just don't play his little rock-throwing games and he'll go away.

  2. Oh, and BTW, I am most certainly not posting any kind of information on FC. MW may believe I am trolling there, but my rebuttals etc. were all posted last Fall when everything hit the fan. I said my piece and then decided it just didn't matter what went on at FC.

  3. Neb,

    You're still being trolled. I told you this would happen.

  4. You know what? MW is right, the last time the horse payments were outstanding was the time the lien was put on it, and MW actually did come up with the money at the last minute.

    It was the time before that, when we brought the horse down here, that G bailed him out. He wrote a check for $1,400 and gave it to MW to give to the stable, then moved the horse.

    Strange thing happened, though; months later the stable phoned asking if the money was ever going to be paid, because they never got the check. >8-(

  5. Nobody we know personally in the horse crowd has had any decent film work in the last few years because of "runaway" production (horsie pics going out of country).

    The 2k is another chapter in the saga of our lives.

  6. Not that anybody is going to read this entry, but as we were cleaning out a file cabinet the other day we found the lien papers that had been mailed out by the stable owner in Lodi (where we had moved MW's horse). The papers were about to be filed, but, as already stated, MW came through with the funds at the last minute. So, technically, the lien was never actually official, even though the papers were drawn up and mailed out.

    Also, to answer another question, the check to pay off the outstanding bill at the previous stable was indeed made out to MW per his request, rather than to the stable in question.

    There, I've said my piece.

  7. It is not my intention to humiliate MW or anybody else. It's just that every once in awhile I/we find out about some weird thing done in the past of which we were previously unaware, and I get more than a little ticked...again. It's like G says, "Every time I start to soften on the whole situation, he does something (or we find out something) to piss me off again!"

    Just to set the record straight, he never "hit" on me (that I am aware of). Also, I have no notion of his past or present academic activities, other than his degree from the college down south (can't think of the name at the moment).

  8. What new "weird thing", Neb? Like when you decided to sell of my items at a garage sale? You're a vindictive person with an agenda. What's your big contribution to your husband been, pray tell?

    The trolls are having lots of fun with you.

    Good to see you leave the state.

  9. One man's weird is another's SOP. After a year of asking, through Alex, whether you wanted those amps or not and receiving no reply, we assumed they were abandoned. You did ask specifically for the ceiling fan and bathroom light fixture, and they are waiting to be picked up.

    As for your other question, you'll have to ask him yourself.
