So... if GOD wanted your truck to break down, would he cause it to happen in the town your estranged child was in?

a few weeks ago, I blew a turbo as I was approaching Albuquerque (ABQ) and ended up spending a night (and day) there. I WISH I could say that I found her that weekend, but I didn't. But, don't you think that was strange?

I've had several "experiences" lately that SOME would say were signs from God. I don't know.

She continues to change her profile picture, and ALL of them are more "professional" or at least flattering than the ones I mentioned when I first found her.

The night/day that I was there, I forgot to bring the TWO phone numbers that I found for her. I suppose I could have duplicated the "search" effort and got them again... but, I was not sure what to do.

In short... I FAILED her (and myself) once again. I was kinda hoping they wouldn't be able to fix the truck before Monday, but they got me out the next morning.

But, I made a few friends that night that helped me to Zero in on what I must do.

I know... that's not enough. NO one else here would be as scared and confused as I am.

I swear to God (or CAD) that.... IF I had a valid address or phone number... I would have hailed a CAB and presented myself face to face with her. I want it more than anything else in LIFE right now.

But, I STILL don't know exactly where she IS!

But, I am getting closer. I believe it WILL happen!

I realize this thread has died out. Most of you have given up on me and my cause. That's okay. You ALL gave your best, and I appreciate it. I hope someday SOON I will be able to give an update that will make you all proud and happy.

I am still not sure that she got my private message. OR my second one. I MAY have to take a chance and send a friend request. Can anyone tell me if she could get a PM if I was not already "friended" by her?

I haven't forgotten, and include you in my thoughts and prayers.
I think about quite a few friends I've made here, who you don't see visit much anymore.
Not a whole lot though, as most of my time is spent pining for Shania. :roll3:

I'm still no help with Twitter or Facebook as I've never cared to visit those sites.
I'd probably get banned from there, within a week anyway.

If you do believe in God, then you must believe in Satan as well.
Satan is the one more likely IMO to have your truck break down a mile from your daughter.
Elections have consequences, so yes... maybe it was God. :)

The thread died out because we are all waiting to hear an update from you.

Yes, I realize that, Freebird. I didn't mean to imply that y'all stopped caring. I still don't have much to update, but.... I DID go ahead and take that chance last night. I sent the friend request. Unzipped my fly (so to speak.) I guess I should know something soon.

Well....
since we can't twist your arm.........all we could do is sit back and what for you to walk.

Okay... I think I have bad news. I really don't understand facebook but, the friend request (and attatched message) shows up in my message list with a little (return) arrow on the left side. I assume that means she "ignored" it.

On the other hand.... I sent he a message a week or so ago and it does NOT show in my message inbox. But, since I hadn't friended her yet... I'm not sure she got it.

Besides.... she MAY have ignored my request for the very reason I mentioned (and included in my message to her) that I had been avoiding sending such a request because I didn't want her family to know I'd found her. If she read that.... she might have agreed and ignored my request for that reason.

Pick up the phone and make the call.

Well, I may have to take that chance... but not yet. I STILL don't want to talk to her mother by accident. Besides.... I may have been wrong about what I posted today. When I go to my own facebook page, there are TWO people listed on my "close friends" list. She is one of them. Is that just because I sent the request? Or because she confirmed it as a "hidden" request. Her timeline doesn't show that she is now friends with me, but that would be expected if she accepted but "HID" the request.

I found some "HELP" articles on facebook today, concerning messages and friendship requests. According to them, I think my request went thru. When I go to HER page, it says friend request sent. It doesn't say "pending." On the other hand, my friend message doesn't have a check mark indicating it has been read. Not surprising since I just sent it late last night. I also learned that I could send her a PM without first being a friend, so she should have gotten my first two messages.

I think I'll give it a little more time now that I took the "request" plunge. I'm pretty sure she doesn't check her page every day.

Change your name to"waffle"house. At the rate you're going someone will have to send her a funeral notice for you.
