From last time . . . .

"So I booked two more weekends over the next 10 weeks and sent them an email complementing my buddy at the front desk. A few hours later, I got an email from the manager thanking me, giving me his personal extention telling me to contact him when I’m coming back and he’ll personally handle my reservation. I emailed him ( Read more... )

I haven't commented in forever, but I've been reading whenever you post.

Hugs for things at work being so hard.

And you rock! Hard. Keep being you :)

Thanks so much. Was just thinking about you and wondering how you were - and how the dog is ( ... )

You're such a darling, Russ. ♥

Ah, two of my favorite lady friends who have been MIA from LJ for quite a while chiming in - I love it! I feel better knowing you are both OK. I know I don't have much room to talk, as I was MIA for a long, long, time myself. Still, I feel better. :-)

Thanks so much.

That was really awesome what you did for you friend. You're an amazing guy!

urbanrebel February 11 2012, 22:21:00 UTC

Thanks Dennis. But . . . *I* am still single, so I can't be all that amazing. ;-)

LOL.

Dear Amazing--er, Russ:

I'll not add more to the tall pile of accolades, just know that I bless you. And I hope you have good rest at night, so you can enjoy the next visit to the City.

For the years that you've lived and thrived in Southern California, know that you have a full and permanent Visa for return at any time (Canada used to call them Landed Immigrants). I just hope that the idiot--er, legislator who calls for separation of Southern California goes no farther than rhetoric.

More seriously, I'm thinking of you and glad you're wandering these halls now and again.

Dear amazing single loser, you mean? ;-) I'm actually kind of thankful to be single whenever I have friends going through this kind of thing. I think . . . what's the point when it never lasts - just more drama and heartache ( ... )

You know I think you rock, so I don't need to add to that chorus.

I am curious as to why your friends are breaking up, though. I know a lot of others in long-term relationships who are breaking up and I've been trying to decide if there's a pattern or not. I also listen to Dan Savage's podcast every week. (If you don't have an iPod, is it just a... cast? :-P)

I'm glad things continue to go smoothly for you. :-)

"I am curious as to why your friends are breaking up, though. "Well, I have my thoughts on what contributed to this situation. They are both my friends now and I adore them both, but the one I speak of here who I knew before they got together is heartbroken . . . he wouldn't even think of splitting, and it's not like they are even fighting. They love spending time together doing things, are still best friends, and by all outward appearances they are fine ( ... )

Not at liberty to discuss? Do I know them? LOL!

And you're right - he probably needs help, but if he won't seek it or accept it, there is nothing anyone can do. :-\

urbanrebel February 12 2012, 04:04:42 UTC

LOL. No, I mean really heavy, told in complete confidence. It could be one of those 20/20 specials type of heavy. I'm probably one of the 3 or 4 people (at most) who know outside of his family. It would feel like a betrayal to mention something like that to anyone in any medium when told to me in such strict confidence, but I can't imagine that isn't playing a part in all this ( ... )
