Men are from Mars, Women are from Pluto: HER SIDE OF THE STORY: He was in an odd mood when I got to the bar, I thought it might have been my fault because I was a bit late but he didn't say anything much about it. I don't remember doing anything to make him upset, but I could tell there was something wrong. The conversation was quite slow going so I thought we should go off somewhere more intimate so we could talk more privately. We went to this restaurant and he was STILL acting a bit funny. I was getting really worried, what did I do? What was bothering him? Was he mad at me? I tried to cheer him up, but started to wonder what was bothering him. Was it me or something else? I asked him if he was upset with me, and he aid no. But I wasn't really sure. So anyway, in the cab on the way back to his house, I said that I love him, and he just put his arm around me! I didn't know what the hell that meant because, you know, he didn't say it back or anything. We finally got back to his place and I was wondering if he was going to break up with me! Why didn't he want to talk about this? So I tried to ask him about it, but he just switched on the TV. Why would he rather watch TV than talk to me? Reluctantly, I said I was going to go to sleep, hoping he would get the hint that I was upset and wanted to talk. I was so hurt that he was out there watching TV while I was in here going through emotional turmoil. Then after about 10 minutes, he joined me in bed, we had some great foreplay and then had sex. I thought that maybe he would open up after we shared such an intimate experience, but he still seemed really distracted. So afterwards I just wanted to leave because I was so upset, but I just cried myself to sleep. He didn't even notice how upset I was! I don't know, I just don't know what he thinks anymore. I don't know what to feel anymore. I'm on emotional overload. I'm so confused. I don't think he loves me anymore. Why does he have to play mind games with me? I mean, do you think he's met someone else??? HIS SIDE OF THE STORY: Played badly today -- shot 83 - can't putt. Felt kinda tired. Got laid though.

Boyd should have waited a little longer to sell his INVN options. Sold 1/4 of my INVN today at 28.00...only because it exceeded my expectations...even knowing the mo-mo boys are still feeding there. Last Fri I traveled through 2 airports...Both were installing Invision machines. >A board member of InVision Technologies collected a gain of more than $1 million from exercising options and selling stock in the maker of explosive-detection systems used in airports. Director Douglas Boyd exercised options to buy 92,042 InVision shares at 55 cents to $6.94 each on Oct. 26, according to Thomson Financial/First Call. He sold those shares for $13.46 to $15.36 each from Oct. 26 to Oct. 29, for a net gain of about $1.16 million. Shares of Newark-based InVision soared after the Sept. 11 attacks as airline bag-screening became a priority. Boyd, a longtime InVision board member, said his timing was fortunate. ``There's nothing special. They were very old options, and they were starting to expire,'' InVision's gains have continued since Boyd's sales. The stock rose $4.93 to a 52-week high of $25.15 on Friday. It closed at $3.11 a share on Sept. 10. Sales by InVision insiders have been a rarity in recent years: Boyd's was the first sale since 1997, according to Thomson Financial/First Call. Boyd said the company's stock had stalled at just a few dollars a share in recent years, providing little incentive to sell. Stock-option holders have the right to buy their company's shares for a set price. For many executives, stock options provide the bulk of their compensation. Boyd said he would consider exercising more options if InVision continues its upward swing. ``InVision has an incredible upside,'' Boyd said. ``It's hard to say where it could go.'' Boyd is founder and chairman of Imatron, which makes electron-beam-tomography scanners. InVision is boosting its production from seven bomb-detection machines a month to 50 in anticipation of orders from the Federal Aviation Administration, according to a company spokesman.
