Not sure how I feel right now. Shocked, puzzled, amused. I now wonder if some way Steve had learned of my new discussion about him and his fussing about orange juice.He told me he just thought its good to see new faces and that he had enjoyed being a table mate. Okay maybe thats all and I am not to blame. .I just feel a bit shocked and hope he is not angry at me for something. As far as I know he doesn't have a computer but if he did and found that discussion oh my Gosh.I still think this is kind of sudden but the man is not anything to me but a friend and co resident.But I wonder mow if people dislike me because I do not talk a mile a minute. I guess I do feel a tad pissed off but I see a new name tag so some woman is going to be in his place.Maybe she will be easy to talk to..

Alicia the table mate that sits beside me is good enough company let them leave this tabjle alone as I say to hell with them all. am tired of whing people. Steve told me he wanted to see new faces so let him. He has only one person another man, i BET THIS OTHER MAN IS ALSO a football buff for football stats. GOOD RIDDANCE OF BAD RUBBISH

I guess eating with the same people an get tiring, and you want some change. If he wants to be with someone else, get someone else never know who will replace him.

Alicia is so qiet and jumpuu she does not talk to me except for good mornig and how are you and she cannot sit still She is Mexican an very slender and has two bad hips evidently. I am hoping she will eventuality talk to me.she gives me a hug as she l eaves. I dislike asking her why she is so fidgetty so will probably learn sooner or later.I hope she does not think I am bigoted because I am not at all.

Lets face it what you put in your discussion was no fabrication, it happened, it's the truth, if he can't deal with it, then tough! Maybe it will question him as to his idiocy over the orange juice, maybe not. But maybe he didn't read it, does it really matter, are you that fussed that he has moved away? Do you miss him? Besides it's his loss if he doesn't want to know you, plus they don't know you like your friends here know you!

hi wolfie yi are so right ts not him that i amfssed about I guess just that for unknown reasons people keep leaving my table so i guess maybe I was just feeling sorry for myhself. Thats silly as I know I anm a gdood decent person so there has to be better reasons for people to leave my table. Now I just don't care. I only hope the new woman will be easy to talk to as i am sort of shy.,

I seriously doubt he found out about your discussion. Sometimes when things like that happen it makes us a bit paranoid. I know it would me. But logically I just don't see how he could have known. It's kind of cute how he told you that you had been a good table mate and that he wanted to greet new faces. I mean who thinks to do that? I would think most people would just have moved and not said anything. But this has upset you and I'm sorry for that.

hi AmbiePam I am over it nmow as the way he has acted latelyh doi ng odd things an forgetting things and getting angry at me,I think the man is senile or starting alzhemier.I guess it was time he move d to a different t ble. And the lady who was coming decided not to come to Gold crest not that I blame her given if I had more money I would choose a better retirement center myself .

Cheer up, Hatley! Believe in yourself that you are basically a good person. It is his lost besides, if he is able to meet new people then good for him because likewise you will too. I am sure you will meet a better one too, if I may add. But, you need to be positive as always because you are magnetic and when you are negative, you will draw negative towards you. So, be happy no use getting yourself worked up over minnows like him.

hi artemeis thanks and I feel much better now as he was beginning to snap at me when he did not hear me and asked me to repeat it i raised my voice. He snapped "why are you shouting at me?"I think he is getting senile so good riddance. NOw Alicia and I will share the table alone.The woman slated to take his place changed her mind about Gold crest.Alicia is Mecican quiet and soft spoken so we get along fine.

Very unlikely that he saw your discussion and just take him at his word. He wants to meet other residents and thta it okay. Do not take this personally please. You know thta ou are wonderful and you also know that we can't be friends with everyone. He is ust expanding his range of friends. Nothing wrong with you and I am sure that everyone there likes you. How could they not?

hi cynthiannes I think now t hat io reflect on it that yes h e wanted to meet someone else and he got another man who seems to be a football stats lover so they should both be happy. As for me I think he has started down the long path to Alzheimer disease and I do not want to have him at my table anyway. I have all I can handle with my roomie having Alzheimer disease. I do not want anyone else needing my help now., I am old and tired and need to relax.the woman slated to take his place has changed her mind, the lady who sits beside me Aliciaill keep each other good company .

I do think in your writing, you reveal more then you intend. For instance, you give actual names and places and so Steve can easily find out that it was you on mylot. I would bet that Hatley is your real name, either last name, middle, or first name or somewhere you live. And just because you write a lot, does not mean you are a great talker. For instance, I can write a lot, but as for talking, unless I am very excited I keep quiet.

Steve could just be computer challenged. That is, he may have a computer but be like a friend of a friend of mine who also has a computer but does not know how what key is the any key, etc. As for your name, it is all right to honor your husband, but if something goes wrong, for instance, someone sues you and even if they are in the wrong, your name will be blackened. Also it would be easier for someone to track you down, like a stalker. That is why we have aliases here.

hi susp enseful you are right hatley is my married last name I use it to honor my deceased husband. I am an open person for some reason but really shy.I can write openly much better than talk as like I said I am pretty shy.I don't think that Steve has a computer as he was always asking me to look something u p on the net, Now somehow I feel freer as while I do care for my senile roomie and do it with love I was getting sick of Steve treating me like some sort of mother figure.I hope nobody gets the idea I had any love interest in Steve as its just not so. I had one great love and that is it ands nobody could take his place. I have great memories.I like the freedom again of being single.ou are a keen observer and right on everything about me. I like you can be talkative if I am really es cited about something.

Hi Hatley, I doubt that he meant anything at all by it. He probably was really looking forward to getting to know some new people. I think that because you had just made that discussion, you automatically associated it with his changing tables. Even if Steve has a computer, what are the odds that he is on it reading Mylot discussions? And even if he were, you did not say anything offensive.

I would imagine that while you maybe got used to dealing with Steve, it had to bring down your spirits a bit listening to him. Grumpy people are not fun to be around at all. I am sure you are loving having some nice pleasant conversation during meals now. Truthfully, first thing in the morning that grump attitude would just set my day off to a bad start.

hi sid yes you are really right and no he does not have a computer so it was me just feeling guilty.But again all I said was the truth I find now its kind of nice not to be snapped at by him for nothing at all. He got to thinking I was to be his helper some way and if I hid not do as he asked he wo ld snap at m e. I do help my roomie but thats altogether a different thing.We have been roomies and friends for several more years and only a cold hearted b,i.t.c,h., would not help her own roommate. But Steve I did not owe this too. I even lent him a dollar which he never bothered to return . Its okay let it go but I do not want any more to do with him,Alicia whp has been sitting beside me for severAl months and I get along fine so let those two chairs stay empty for awhile.

Hiya Hatley, So its going to be no more orange juice complaints for you now he can cheer himself up with the latest football news or whatever and that will take his mind off the juice and all that well at least it should do. Steve be happy to talk about your Football and be thankful that Hatley has listened to you for so long. I don´t talk a mile a minute either well sometimes I can but most times I am as quiet as a dormouse he he he. If you are going to have a new table mate see if she is nice to talk to and you get along like a house on fire but that´s only an expression of course.xxx

So how without raising your voice pray tell was I to make him hear me? l still have a companion Alicia so we can get to know one other.The other woman who was to take his place has decided not to come to gold Crest.really I now hope they just leave us along.Getting tired of people coming and going lkke a revolving door here. lol

Hello Hatley, Has he left the table already then? Do you see him from where you are? Alicia I think that you have mentioned her before or not? Maybe you can have some chance to talk to someone who is not into Football all day long. That can be quite tiring I know. Oh the other lady is not going there then? It must be quite tiring for you to see so many people coming and going out then. Like a revolving door I like that. Well if you had to shout to him for him to hear you he should at least have thanked you for bothering in the first place surely. xxx

You see, when you said you talked fast that gave me a clue. I'm gonna look silly if I'm way out lol. I know it's off topic but anyway...silly man. Hope the new lady likes talking as much as you.

I do not love the man in fact I do not even really like him but I was nice to him as I felt sorry for him, Its just that he could have told me yesterday he wanted to move to be with the other man, I do not miss him its just that I am now losing confidence in my self esteem. that I do not want to do.

So the woman who shared my side of the table Alicia and I will soon learn to know one other better. Now there are two empty chairs. In a way I wish we would be left alone as I am sick of people just stopping there for awhile.

hi ritter sport again gremlines just st0le my big comment grrrrr.copy. well I am now happy as he had been snapping at me the last few days and I really think he is becoming senile,. He would forget something and get mad if I had not looked up something for him. I am not his servant and he was really getting much too bossy as I am only a table mate not a substitute wife for a grouch who has never been married.The supposed new lady had changed her mind and is not going to live here.But I still have one table mate who sits beside me.so Alicia and I can in time really become friends,.Like me she is soft spoken and maybe a little shy.Also she is very nervous I noticed. NOt that is bad just that she maybe be a bit shy as we have not talked much yet but I always greet her and she seems very pleasant. She is Mexican and thats okay.I like to know people from allover the world.

hi dear Hatley that really sounds good with Alicia as your table mate.

Not to worry about that guy . . . there are plenty of other people to be table mates with. A new person would be refreshing (you can all chat over orange juice! ).

hi Emily well now Alicia and i share our table alone as Steve left and the other chair as been empty for several months. I like Alicia and we get along fine.As for Steve's place the lady who was coming decided she did not want to come to Gold crest.So okay just leave us alone.The Two of us will do just fine and get to know each other. Steve found another football fanatic so good for himl, He was starting to get senile becoming very cranky and snapping at me because I raised my voice trying to make him hear. "why are you yelling at me?" He could possibly be getting senile too . I m,ean I was not yelling at him but had just raised my voice so he could hear me.
