Thanks. I'll try, and I just hope he decides to stay away forever. That is what would be best.

However, he said he would be away for "awhile." and I also remember that he said some time ago that his brother was coming to visit him, so it may just be that he said what he said to try to turn some folks against me, because everyone knows that he and I don't get along. So they would figure that I got him kicked out of our Social Club or something. I told my boss what he had been saying to folks, what I had overheard. She said she would have a talk with him, so maybe that was the result of the talk. I don't know. She didn't tell me anything personally about what they spoke about. She only told all of us what he had said, when folks inquired if she had heard from him and questioned why he was no longer coming, whereas he had been coming every day for months.

However, I have lived here a long time, I have plenty of friends there AND I WORK THERE, so my boss is going to side with me, I am pretty sure, if he ever returns and causes any more trouble.

I did tell him off about 2 weeks ago, when he got really snide with me. I had been "taking it" for a long time silently before that (trying to ignore it), like for about 6 months, but you know, a person can only take so much. And I was in a MANIC and had finally HAD IT WITH HIM AND HIS NASTINESS, so I told him off but good. He looked like a hunted animal when I got done with him. I kind of think that maybe he won't mess with me any longer, but we shall see! Time will tell. I think he didn't really think I was ever going to fight back. He was surprised when I told him off, I think. He was not expecting that, because I usually just ignore him.
