I need to decide if i take action now or wait until I am back in Ohio.It seems like it will upset you if they show up at your event. Maybe you could just email them and tell them that you would be too distracted if they were there. And maybe you can arrange a separate time to meet.I never want to see either of them them again. Ever!I know. Agreeing to see your brother later might get them off your back. I wish they had left you alone. Respinding sooner than later might make it eadier for you to put them aside, in your mind, and focus on the good parts of your trip. Good it will be I was halfway expecting him to show up at Randy's house over the weekend and force some sort of confrontation, and if i had to deal with it, i would deal with it. i never expected the email of this morning and it bothers me because, even though he's once again attempting some sort of rapprochement, his frustration over my refusal to deal with his attempts to kiss and make up could lead to some real ugliness - perhaps violence - on his part. What I would prefer are no scenes, no conflict, and no confrontation.

Can Randy and his wife help run interference?
Well, I had exchanged messages back and forth with friends, one in Austin and another visiting Austin, about getting together for lunch today. I even took an extra day off work to do it. I find out, as I sat down to lunch at the agreed upon place, that the one from Austin thought it was for dinner and the other thought it was tomorrow. I feel like I've wasted the day. Except for a few small purchases.
I spoke to Randy. He has no idea what is going on at the Macbeths and was completely surprised by the email.
DR Elmore, we received a piece of mail today that's much nicer than my Medicare card. We'll be there!
DR Ginny, do you need to RSVP or anything?
To my great surprise, and joy & relief, I have my computer back. It is working as it should.
The end of the Macbeth email was "please advise," which makes me suspect that Lady M actually wrote it. i just now answered "No. thank you for asking."
Avery thorough is the thoroughest of all.
