Can't believe it's Thursday already! Good grief! *in my best Charlie Brown voice*
I've been under the weather here lately, even called in sick to work yesterday. Don't think it was still "Revenge of the Poblano", but let's just say I'm now intimately acquainted with my bathroom... Bluh... Still not high on energy level, but what can you expect when your food isn't in your system long enough for you to get any nutritional value?
Sick or not, I took my uninterrupted computer time at home to a) figure out work problems and b) work on personal problems. It makes sense in my head, just not when I write it down! At any rate, I did figure out the work problem, hence the code post from earlier in the day.
The personal problem is a horse of a different color, as they say. Remember me saying one of the emails wasn't written from our home computer when DH and I were both home? Well, one of my options was that he had email capability on his phone, but so far as I can tell, he doesn't. So, what do we make of an email sent from DH's email account when he wasn't logged in to his email? Very weird... Perhaps a cohort? Who would he get to help him in such an endeavor? Especially when everyone knows I use the sheriff as a personal referance when applying for jobs?
Since I'm unsure as to the authenticity of what I've seen, I've not brought it up. I am still, however, keeping my ears to the ground and my nose to the wind, so to speak.
On a different, and yet somewhat related, note a show came on TLC last night about sex addicts while DH was channel surfing. He hadn't heard of this before and decided to watch. I kept my psych-major mouth shut and let him hear what other folks have to say on the subject. We'll see....
Financially, all's quiet on the western front. Water bill came today, and I've had enough money in the 'water bill account' since the middle of last month, so it's nice to see things working out they way they're supposed to. Pocket money is gone but is due to be replinished on payday the 15th, so no real worries there. Ditto grocery money. Don't worry, it's not like there's no money; it's all sitting there waiting for me to take it out when I'm scheduled to do so. Since Monday is a holiday and the banks are closed, I might actually take $ out early. This is one of those months where getting $400 per month rather than $100 per week turns into a real pain!
Oh, I forgot to mention the books!!! Someone had asked what I'd gotten to read and I forgot to respond. I just finished the last one yesterday, but here they are anyways:
"Body Movers" - Stephanie Bond: Murder mystery w/ romantic overtones. It was OK, got it b/c it was set in Atlanta
"Dead Cat Bounce" - Norman Green: Mystery with mobster overtones. I liked it, but didn't like the way the ending wrapped up so impersonally when the main character's personal grievances were driving the plot. Like the author's writing voice, though. Favorite phrases "more moves than an epileptic prostitute" and "what a pain in the dick" 
Got it b/c I liked the title
"Monkey Man" - Steve Brewer: Mystery with zoo overtones. I think the main character in this is featured in the author's series, so it might have been more enjoyable if I were more familiar with the line. Got it b/c there was a picture of a stuffed monkey on the front, and a friend of mine in college was nicknamed 'monkey man'
"Farewell Summer" - Ray Bradbury. Got b/c, well, it's Ray Bradbury! Definitely not what I was expecting from Ray, but nice nontheless. Pretty much a human drama, but the ending is a hoot and made me laugh out loud.
"The Christmas Pig" - Kinky Friedman. I've read a couple of his books and wasn't sure what to expect from this. Good thing, cause I never would have expected this! Cute, slightly inspiring, definintely not what I expect from Kinky Friedman...

In that sense, the average email could take anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes, perhaps even an hour before it reaches its destination.
However, while I've tinkered with email servers, I've never actually administered one. So, please take that for what it's worth.
You could always do your own mock runs with similar sources and destinations and see what kind of time you get.
Having said that, I hope you don't spend too much time on this. You'll have to talk to him about it sooner or later, and I think it's best to do so sooner. I really do think that'd be best for one's emotional health.

all i know is that a) the email wasn't typed on my home computer b/c i'd be able to see tracks of the text being entered and b) he wasn't on any other computer that day. still, weird.

The very worst part of the whole ordeal was not knowing- yet trying to remain calm and unassuming--- ugh. TpB--I hope you find the answers to all your questions so that you can regain your inner-peace.
You certainly are in my thoughts.

Dayum. Keylogger? Remote monitoring? Whatever it is, remind me not to mess with you with computers.
Also, is the timestamp correct? I assume that it is (especially on commercial servers), but that's not always so.
Still, all things said and done, it would provide evidence that there may not be foul play. Doesn't that give you more relief? Even if the email turns out to be accurate, it is possible it could still be harmless banter. Doesn't that buy him the benefit of the doubt?

BA, "the schwartz is strong in this one!"
yeah, the timestamp is correct based on the account settings and personal experience w/ the servers in question. since i'm not sure what i've got, i'm not sure what to do. working on that logic, i'm assuming for now that i've got nothing and thus i'm currently doing nothing. other than, as ray said, "trying to remain calm and unassuming"...

So... "more moves than an epileptic prostitute" huh? LOL :-D That's funny! I wish I had - scratch that - made time to read more as well.
