Well, as you know -- it is a grieving process -- so let yourself cry or do whatever you need to do for yourself.:( You should also treat yourself to something special -- maybe a massage!;)

You put this pretty well -- +1 therefore.

Perhaps if I cry for 48 hrs straight I will feel better:(

:( There's no crying. There's no crying in Teh Box.;) But like mnmag said, ya gotta let your emotions do what they're going to do. Then kick some a$$.

I wish I knew of something to say that would make you feel better.

So your Hyatt account is a mess?:confused:

I got the free night with no problem but the AA miles didn't appear. They promised after my call today they would be there tomorrow (not holding breath and trying to look good in blue though). :D

My weird neighbor is mowing his lawn. For those of you not on the east coast, it's dark out. The really odd thing is that he's mowing it on a Friday. Usually, he mows in the dark on Sundays.

I've been through much worse so I'll be just fine. Nice to have a careing forum to vent in^ Today really caught me offguard. I could also walk with all the technology they need so I'm mulling that over.:rolleyes:

When I was getting divorced I found lawn mowing was the best therapy I could ever (not pay for).:D

24 hours. You'll feel liberated afterwards. It's all part of the normal process. You have to let your emotions run the natural course. You'll still have the anger , bitterness and worry phases to go through. You have to go through the phases and deal with them reasonably as they come. Soon you'll feel relieved and be ready to charge the world a new.

Hyatt definitely only sweeps mileage several times each month. I spoke with the airline mileage person at Hyatt in Chicago last year when waiting for the miles on AA to post to pay for my airfare to London for the prize I won.

I love mowing the lawn, but I like to actually see the fruits of my labor.:cool: This guy started at 6:30 when I got home. His lawn isn't that big so he must be on lap #7.

I got my new OP+ card today. Should I start a new thread?

This, I don't get. Sorry to hear about the job; hope new opportunities arise.

I know but I get the worst case of puffy eyes even with a brief boo-hoo. I can't even watch a chick-flick without an explaination! I have a giant hard shell which I have had to wear multiple times since 2002. Problem is that I'm just not the type of person that wants not of care at all. I know I'll be fine in the long run I just feel lke I'm playing Texas-hold-um and all my card were dealt face up.:(
