As long as they honestly tell me what was up then I'll be fine.

Even the whole 'I forgot' works for me because I forget things ALL the time without trying.
I'll push something aside until 'later' and then pretty much not remember for another 2 or 3 days. XD

...only if it becomes bad habit.

Talk is talk....until they show you. Its behavior that counts in the end. Personal integrity.

See all the better One whole year that I wouldn't have to have to remember to call....All i have to do is remember to jot an e-mail everyso often.......jot a note in a planner to remember to send a care package make a note ofthe Australia trip so we remember to include that in the e-mail and ask for soemthing fun while your there.........your every girls dream......LOL

Good luck......my brother had a lot of fun there when he did his S. Korea tour.......just be careful of the gate whores.......:)

The only problem with that is if your so guarded and vulnerable they'll never prove any of it to you.....Every failure is magnified and every pontential slight is built up till your miserable and you make them miserable trying to prove themselves to you.

Ya and the juicy's. I'll probably be spending more time working (and in a gask mask) then galloping around off base though.

I'm bringing my blackberry with me so I'll be global, baby :P Getting the international plan. I'm not really the super attachy kinda person either but I do tend to talk a lot and ramble a bit. Though, most people seem to enjoy it since they never have to think of anything to talk about lol.

All the better then we all can just plan on you to remember to call put you on speaker and go on about our day.........we'll remember to put in a few ummhmm's and whotnot everyso often to let you know we're still there.......LOL

Hopefully you don't need to use the gas mask for real tho and it's just a precautionary measure......

Ahahaha that's pretty funny. I'd have to keep you on your toes then :P

And yea, I don't wanna use the gas mask for real, but they have random exercises and we're going to have to work in full chem gear when they do em lol. Humidity + heat + chem gear = not a lot of fun :D

Fun Fun........My brother used to love those exercises.......hours on end in the full mop gear....he used to say no matter how many showers he took after it was all over he could still swear he smelled it.........sounds like and awesome time to me....:) better you than me darling...all i can say.

Don't worry we'll have a few generic responses that cover all bases for those tricky ?'s you'll never know we're not following you......that or we'll just pretend we lost connection there for a minute and did'nt catch what you said........you will be halfway round the world remember........:)

Hahaha I'm going to stop quoting the current gaggle since it's getting way too long.

I guess I'd have to resort to sending off random packages. Like, "Here's a bottle of lemonade soju...save this for later." :D

LOL.........I guess we'd have to make mental and hard notes to remeber to mention what was received right off the bat when you called then we'll be safe............wait the e-mails we'll just jot it in there.......

You are ABSOLUTELY right, assuming the person you are wondering about is pure of heart and spirit and has nothing chemically controlling them. Then, it is a misfortunate pitfall for you and them, especially if they believe their own falsehoods because of DENIAL. Some people are so afraid that they cannot survive any other way they will NEVER come out of that denial....will never even attempt it. It is done. Fin. There is nothing left for them. How many drug addicts die every day because of that DENIAL? The numbers are staggering.

Otherwise, going back to your scenario....Let's just say you do NOT need THEM to try to prove anything to you because you ALREADY have seen hard, objective proof of severe character FLAWS and have had many CHARACTER witnesses warn you away as well. Then, frankly, if you stick with them, it is no one's responsibility but your own. ....And those that gave you the objective information (like someone recently said to me) owe you no sympathy. Keep making the same mistakes, eventually they will give up trying to help you too.

You might as well get a scanner that will scan the item and transfer the name with a generic "Thank you for..." Message while you're at it. :P

Then I can have some real fun! LOL

"Thank you for the sample of some really weird green substance"
"Thank you for the holycrapilovelemonade"
"Thank you for the landmine. Wait, landmine?! What the-"

I HATE when guys do that. Don't even bother telling me you're gonna call, if your just gonna lie in the end.
