I do know it...but I think you know only too well how tough it is to be helpless when it comes to the ones we love. He promised me he would come home safely and I do trust that he will....but somedays this whole things just gets the better of me. Thanks dear!

That's sound advice...just don't take it personally when it all goes out the window the next time he is later than "I" expect him to be. 
Most days I handle it all, but there is nothing about that hell hole that does not scare me, when they travel, I am petrified, I don't want to join some of the other wives from our unit at Walter Reed or worse.... So, I get just a "teeny" bit nuts LOL!!!
He and I have this odd connection when we actually get a chance to talk I'll have to find out if anything out of the ordinary happened. What I can tell you is his back is a mess today...how do I know? Because mine is. We share this strange kind of energy and we tend to stay connected.

But try to remember this for next time...that you can be wrong sometimes.

I have that too -- the uncanny ability to know when someone I'm close to
Is going to die...But occasionally, I'm wrong!!

Oh sweetie
I know your going through hell right now. I wish there was more I could do to help you. He is going to be fine. You wait and see, I will be thinking about you g/friend. He has a lot going on, but I doubt he will risk anything that would inhibit to come home to the woman he loves...

Quirky
I know you are right. I get crazy during these things, they scare the life of out me....I swear after this year he is going to have to give me back the 50 or so years he has scared out of me. The reality is the post could also be on a communication blackout (that one has them all the time), etc... I am just NUTS

well---here's my take...you had that feeling (which may not even relate to him, but something else)...then you started to really pay attention to the little odd things and are attaching meaning to all of them. Anyway, I hope you are wrong and there is absolutely NOTHING to worry about!

Nope, I refuse to perform a generic ceremony. If the couple doesn't have the time to spend some time with me in a relaxed atmosphere I will not do the wedding.
When my grandfather passed the preacher that did his funeral had never met him and knew NOTHING about him. I swore I would never do that to anyone.

LOL! Now you sound like my husband! Something about me giving him gray hair...yeah right he had gray BEFORE I met him. Me: I didn't have a single gray hair until last year. I can

Thanks. I'll put it this way. I have performed a total of 6 marriages (paperwork does not make a marriage). Out of those 3 remain together. 3 Hetro, 3 Gay. Seems to me, the only difference are the uptight political machine that thinks they have a place in our private lives. LOL! I tend to like to follow my couples, I don't perform a ceremony without getting to know the people and I become very attached to them.

Thanks for the info. The laws on who can marry and how irritate the daylights out of me. It seems to me the ones protesting marriage are usually the ones that have something to hide in their own.

Technically, I told him by tommorow morning my time. But, he knows me and he knows I was full of sh*t. Hell, he laughed at me when I said it. At this point he should have arrived by no later than 5 AM this morning my time. This is out of character and I was already worried because this was something odd for him to be doing. So, panic is well set in!

I'm so sorry I didn't see your post until just now...you really need to figure out a way to flash me!! What good is a mama if you don't yell at times like this!!!! Don't stress about worrying....remember that it helps because the things you worry about never happen!!!! Now, why couldn't the tags falling off have meant he was thinking about you at that very minute? And the songs the same thing? Thinking about how much you were worrying because he hadn't been about to call you and he knew you were freakin' so he had you on his mind non-stop, so strong that it sent you a message? Why couldn't it just as easily be that? And, how far past the 24hrs has it been now? If we're all gonna worry together here, I need a clock, too....
