I actually talked to her hubby first and then to the manager, so it wasn't just our members that kicked me out. I was told the Manager was going to remove my things from the room if I hadn't immediately gone back to move them myself. That would have been a huge mistake on her part (the manager) if she had done that! I would have had grounds for filing charges as State law in most states have forbidden such action without the owner of the property being present and/or an eviction notice being served. My position would have been even stronger since I had already paid for the room in advance. Right or wrong I hold no malice against anyone from our group because it is not in my nature to do so. I could have caused a horrible big stink if I had wanted to, but I would not do that. I am very sorry if any one's feelings were hurt over it. I didn't hear anything I would call trash talking. A few of the people approached me and asked what happened and I explained as best I could and if there was any trash talking I did not witness it. Stan and Vicki are great people and very kind to let me spend a night at their home. I know it is sometimes a burden to open up to unintended guests but they were kind enouigh to do so and I know they would have done the same for any of our group. I did get to get out for the first time in nearly two years and do some detecting. Yes, I was in some pain, but it was well worth it to get back to the hobby and friends I have learned to love so well. Sometimes it seems everything is crashing down on me, but I will keep coming back so don't coount me out . And besides, what the hell, I won the detector! Monty
