We detest OW and wear PINK SUNGLASSES. We are open to suggestions of additional entrance requirements......

Negativity towards OW is acceptable.

A GODDESS recognizes her lofty position as WIFE not FRIEND.

A GODDESS does not accept crumbs; she expects a feast.

I'm working on it! Despite all the crap that's happened to me, I am a wonderful, lovely, sexy person. If WH doesn't understand that, it's his lose. Battered but not beaten! I deserve the best!

I pass on the pink sunglasses but I can dis OW with the best of 'em. And I can do it in words with many syllables.

I'll take my position as a demi-goddess right now but will work up to full qualifications.

I'm def. a GODDESS!


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

Oooh, I want in!

***We detest OW and wear PINK SUNGLASSES.***

It's very dark wraparounds for me -- but I'm with ya on the first one.

***We are open to suggestions of additional entrance requirements......***

I will try to think of some!

***Negativity towards OW is acceptable.***

How about full-blown hatred and loathing? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

***A GODDESS recognizes her lofty position as WIFE not FRIEND.***

ABSOLUTELY

***A GODDESS does not accept crumbs; she expects a feast.***

You got that right!

CHANGES IN ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:

GODDESSES ARE ADAMANT ABOUT PROTECTING THEIR DELICATE EYES FROM UV RAYS: : Any form of sunglasses are acceptable if worn with dignity. Stylish glasses are of course preferable but any form of protection will suffice. ALSO NOTE: Sunglasses can be worn at any time, by choice, for MYSTERY AND ALLURE. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

NEGATIVITY TOWARDS NON-REPENTANT, DEVIOUS, NUTTY, SMUG (YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN) OW IS ACCEPTABLE: Reformed OW are perfectly acceptable as members. In fact, GODDESSES want to learn from them.

A GODDESS RECOGNIZES HER LOFTY POSITION AS WIFE NOT FRIEND TO THE EXTENT THAT SHE IS WILLING TO GO NC WITH WH OR EVEN DIVORCE HIM IF HE DOES NOT HONOR HER VALUE: Whew! How's that for a long rule?

So I now deem CC, GRAPEGIRL and MOTHERTO3 as FULL GODDESSES to join us others on the throne.

Keep wearing those togas, GIRLFRIENDS!!

Yippee!!!!!! I'm a goddess, I'm a goddess! That has made my day! I thought the sunglasses were for mystery and allure... We goddesses will welcome a repentent, seen-the-light OW with open arms, meaning the kind that will never do it again. But it's open season on the other ones.

Excuse me, I have to go check the drape of my toga.

Well,

I'm back, under my origional name...but will need to go have a spa treatment in order or something MAJOR to overcome the trauma of finding myself once again.

Need to find pink sunglasses - and when I do....I'll be back. If goddesses wear halos, mine needs a polish. But I don't think goddesses whine - so I better leave...for now

I want to be a goddess with lashes so long they brush against the lens of my sunglasses. That's when I take them off to wink at them gods <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />


I do not blame the xwh for his affairs and abandoning our marriage. He fulfills 90% of the Cleckley Criteria

I forgive him for his insanity and I forgive myself for being gullible to his charms.
