ah yes the convention is approaching. wife is squirreled away with her wt books, her laptop and the tablet thing ..even at meals.
Conversation is a word or two and not often. Spoken to.. doesn't answer.
and on return it will be grumps on for at least a week.
anyone else know this phenomenon?
My ex is over the top "happy". Almost as if she's trying to convince me that she's "happy" and "really looking forward to the convention" even though i never asked her. It's obvious to me that she'd rather stay at home or go shopping or do something fun instead of having to attend the three day waste of time called The Convention.
LOL.
Want to get a deer-in-the-headlights look?
Three days after she returns, ask her what talk she enjoyed the most. Ask her for the 3 most significant points from that talk.
I'll give you 100 to 1 she'll waffle, murmur, and try to talk about the "Wife of Lot" video - but won't remember so much as one talk title, nor even one point made in any of the talks.
Weeks of anticipation, countless Facebook posts about how this was the "best convention ever" - and within 3 days, it will be as if she never attended at all.
Spot on sir82!
Becuase it is NEVER about the actual content of the convention, but it's about the FEELINGS and Emotions of attending....
This is me at the last convention i ever attended back in 2014. As you can see i look absolutely thrilled, invigorated and so full of joy to be surrounded by "gods people".

Yup, and also getting dressed up and parading around in a new dress or tie. Catching up with people that you only see at conventions. It's also a chance get out of the house, take a drive, go to a different town.

Reminds of a talk a brother gave decades ago and he started off with the line from the potato chip commercial "betcha can't eat just one". So that evening at dinner when my friends dad used to ask them what the was talk about, her little brother said potato chips.
In RC accounts, to emphasize the seriousness of doing everything right, were told that the conventions, more than any other source, was where the Society collected most of their funds,
