Hope Floats . . .

well. that's that. case closed. no arrest. no conviction. no satisfaction. no glory.
can't have nuthin !

'my detective ' called me a while ago. and not with any good news. he got the signatures. unfortunately, he could not make a match. he called them 'inconclusive' .
it's over. lack of evidence. there is nowhere else to go with this. without the tape from the pawn shop -- no clear proof which one pawned the stuff. it's just over and done. and the bad guy wins again. is anybody really surprised ? this is just the way things go for me, and we all know it. i have tried my very best to be patient. i have tried my very best to not dwell on this , and to not think about it all the time. to not bask in thoughts of revenge or even worse -- to wish bad things on these guys. i have really just -- for the most part, as much as i was able-- even more than i ever have before... i left it in the hands of the cops , and in the hands of God to handle this. and i held on to the Hope that it would turn out for the best.

well, guess what? it's true. and even though i did shed a few tears in my defeat after i talked to the detective.... i had to chuckle at the phrase-- hope floats. cuz the other day when hubby and i fished the tournament-- i was telling him towards the end that there was still hope that we could get a big one. he was a little beaten feeling already and said "yeh, well, hope floats!"
we both laughed at that-- and decided the next boat we buy-- will be named 'hope floats' :))
hey-- ya just gotta laugh at some of this crap sometimes right?

unfortunately... right now-- i'm not laughin too much.
i am gonna let it soak in a little more, then go pick up copies of the police report--- and from there, i spose i need to figure out how to sue:

"the" MOVING COMPANY
OF DALLAS TEXAS

(i had the name of the company here earlier-- i decided to remove it until i talk to them. i jumped the gun a bit there maybe by throwin their name up here. they have been cooperative, and did fire both the guys 'involved'. so. i'll give them a chance to settle this before i throw their name around. especially when i'm pissed off.)

AND PERHAPS I MAY FILE A CIVIL CLAIM AGAINST THE THEIF :
B.J.S WHO STOLE MY JEWELRY WHILE MOVING (in a professional capacity) MY HOUSEHOLD GOODS!!!!!
( 9-27: well, i had assholes name here too-- but had to remove it as well, because the case is actually still 'open'. )

and-- just so ya know-- i have some good news too-- i just have to go for now-- i will share it later-- or tomorrow when i feel a little better.

be happy folks
