No, sir. I'm from a more civilized State. Now, MelodyLane.... I'm not gonna speak for that gal!

Seriously? I think I can say for all of us that she will be welcome.

NW - glad to hear that today was good!

Thanks for the sentiment, Stretch.

Kind of off again this evening, WW fell asleep early and when she's out isn't the best time to have in-depth conversations.

But the last times I opened up like that, she was still talking to OM. Sure, there was the two weeks where she wasn't and we had really good talks, but that's kind of empty now, isn't it?

So with that in my mind, I'm sitting here not wanting to voice my feelings. Do I dare stick my neck out once again? All indications are that it'd be ok to do, but didn't I say that before as well?

Maybe this makes some sense to you. How is your weekend so far? Hope things are going good.

marital and Andy--

Y'all posted while I was typing my last pity party report. Don't know why, feeling a little better just seeing your responses.

I know Andy's a fellow Southerner, but, mb, surely you're not one of those that we make fun of for talking funny

North, you're not really going to start this silly business of inferring that my vocabulary is inferior in some way to you people down in those heathen States below the Mason/Dixon line, are you? Because if you start that nonsense I will immediately whip out my scrabble board and challenge you.

And I will insist that we use a Scrabble dictionary.

It could get ugly.

And I would like to know why you call Mel a lady and not me??? That woman carries guns and spits stuff into the street, for crying out loud!

Sorry for the t/j, back to business....

Shoot, mb, you know we don't have, or much less use, dictionaries down here!

We just make it up as we go and use Budweiser bottle caps to take the place of the missing letters. Heh, now who looks unsophisticated!

Well, Texas isn't exactly known as the cosmopolitan mecca that Mississippi is. I mean, really, who spits on the street anymore? She really should be carrying a spit cup--gives you a much more polished and refined appearance.

It's also a handy weapon to have should you run across any stray Yankees.

Seriously though, both of y'all sound like people that I'd be proud to know.

Thanks for accidentally cheering me up.

And Mel and I would be proud to know you.

You're welcome.

You know the best part of this forum? When a guy nobody on here knows irl is in trouble, his thread will move 4 pages in 24 hours with people supporting him. Talk about restoring your faith in people. North needed help and ten people come running.

BTW North, before you let Marital fool into thinking shes all civilized and wouldn't lay a beating on your wife if she pulled some poor wayward line on the forum... You should ask her why the OW in her life now has to wear a wig full time.

lol

Yes, your ww would defiitely be welcome here!

I read your update yesterday evening late and was so happy! You did fabulous. And it is so good for ww to know that the omw IS a woman, with a life, and with a family, who had to go through hell. I think carrying on an ema when there is a face to the pain is when the REAL reality sets in and that destroys the fantasy affair to the point it won't feel as much "fun" again for them.

Now ya'lll also know that my xwh's ow had to go further than a wig. She seriously lives without a trace on the internet and couldn't even announce (what she so wanted to do) in the papers back home in TN when she married her subsequent mm after my xwh. I kinda destroyed that other fantasy she had reamining too. Po po monkeyho!

Anyhow, cheers from the PARIS of the SOUTH!!! I say, down here, we pick peaches, eat peanuts, and watched the Braves last night put some hurt on the Mets! Can ya'll guess where I am? That's what happened HERE to a few stray yankees who found their way onto Turner Field!!! Just had to rub it in since it was a double hitter.

Hey peachy, should have guessed by your screen name. We lived in Roswell and Canton for seven years before coming back here. My office was downtown--the commute got old real quick. Here, it takes me five minutes to get to work. There, about an hour each way if it didn't rain and there wasn't a wreck.

John's Creek/Suwanee here! Not far!

You scored a great commute!

But we won big time last night and shut out the Mets!!!!

Seems like whenever we get bad weather, it always comes thru Canton. Glen Burns almost always says that on the weather you know?

We'd talked about a weekend trip over there, take the kids to the aquarium and Six Flags (yeah, we must be losing our minds to consider it).

They can barely stand riding in the car with each other just to go to the grocery--much less a six hour stretch!

A Texas LADY does not spit or CHAW ON TOBACCO!!!! We are not Grandma from Beverly Hillbillies!

And yes, you can invite your wife, but if she is foggy she is going to hear about it. You might want to ask the mods to move your thread first, though.

This honeymoon trip should be without kids. Can you leave the hellions with her parents?

Amen. People from TX,NY, WA, MN and Canada come to help him out.
Its beautiful.

Ever heard this one:
"A man is stuck down at the bottom of a ditch.
A minister comes by, writes him a prayer, tosses it down to the man.
A rich man walks by, writes a big check, tosses it down to the man.
A musician walks by, sings the man a song.

Then a friend walks by, sees the man in the ditch and he jumps down with him.

"Now what are we going to do?" Asks the man. "Now we are both trapped in the ditch."

"I realize that," says his friend, "But I've been down here before. Aand I know the way out."

Oh no, the weekend trip would just be a thing for the kids. The "our" trip (cruise or whatever) would definitely be w/o kids.

Find a great deal on cheap caribbean. That's what I'd do for ww. She needs to have a break from the run of the mill rut.

This is something big for us girls. WE get truly bogged down w/kids, work, their school, homelife, being the mom, etc that we need a real break now and then.

Trip to caribbean just does it for me. Always does.

I swear that I think there'd be less ww's out there if they took nice, indulgent trips with their hubbies once a year (or twice).

We're going to take one for our anniversary to either Savannah (if we can't have alot of time off) or wait until late fall and go to St. Lucia.
