Dear Spoc,
I beg, I plead...please don’t go. Reading this thread has been the only thing keeping me going the last few days (okay, perhaps I exaggerate a bit). But I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve gotten angry, I’ve shaved my legs. Granted, I have the attention span of a two-year old, so sometimes I have to read your posts in "shifts" but you have managed to keep me reading.
In all honesty, though, I must say, you’ve changed my life (again with the exaggeration, All Done!) and I do have an interesting, if not somewhat funny, story related to this thread.
A little background – as of Friday afternoon, my husband knew nothing of my adventures at this site. He did not know I post, he did not know I had been so kindly befriended by the likes of Miss Karen, he did not know we IM each other, ahem, on occasion. Well, when I got home on Friday evening, I logged in to IM for a bit and usually I am vigilant about logging out before my husband sits down to the use the computer, but, that particular evening, I erroneously left IM open. So, there I was, reading to my son his very favorite story about a duck that falls in the mud and gets very dirty. (Don’t worry. It rains and the duck jumps in a puddle. He gets clean. It’s all good.) We were on the couch next to my husband and the computer screen was in plain view. Next thing you know, I see Yahoo messenger pop up with a message. As far as I know, my husband does not use Yahoo messenger. So I realize I must have left it open and I figure odds are, it’s KK sending me a message. Well, I just watch to see what he does, and it appears as though he reads it and closes it out. I wonder what he is thinking when yet another message pops up. And another. He reads them and seems a bit confused, but closes it out again and doesn’t say a word.
Now, you are probably asking yourself, "what in Dr. Bob's name does this have to do with anything, All Done?" Bear with me. Based on the information I have now received from KK and my husband, I have managed to put together a rough description of what the IM’s looked like and the events that transpired in my home on Friday evening...
(Husband is surfing the internet for information on hardy palm trees. We live in Chicago. Don’t ask.)
(IM pops up.)
KK: hey girlie!
(Husband reads, hesitates, and closes the IM pop up)
KK: did you see spoc posted to me?
KK: she asked me if i shave my @#$%^& !!! <------ If I used the actual word here, Dr. Bob might have to have the police ship me off to that jail in Guam with kid.
(Husband reads, confusion sets in, he closes the IM pop up anyway.)
Now, after finally disclosing to him that I have online friends that he was not aware of, he said, "Oh. I thought we were getting some kind of porn pop ups." He thought KK was PORN!!!
He then asked, "so, what *do* you and 'Kelly' talk about?" I can only imagine what must be going through his head.
So, spoc, I believe I have you, in part, to thank for having an integral role in "outting" me to my husband in the best possible way ever and I would miss having more potential opportunities to refer to KK as a porn star.
Keep posting, okay? Even if you do it in your sleep. We don’t care. We aren’t picky.
With much gratitude,
All Done
