OK, I guess that's insulting enough, even for me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

cheaters are all similar. it's the BS who are unique!

And yet, from the WS's point of view, they are unique, and the BSs are all the same! Why, because it's always the BS's fault, of course! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I have discovered here at MB how similar WS are. My WH is a little different because of the fact that he didn't actually SAY anything <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> If he had he would probably have followed the script.

Curiously, he did not blame me for the A, believe it or not. He blamed himself, for whatever happened (remember the A is a secret even to him). And he has acted accordingly financially supporting us all and respecting my wishes <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />(i.e. not seeing me until he gets rid of OW).

But I find that whereas all WS will end up in sort of the same way, BS are very creative managing these sitches. We really work hard!<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I have to apologize, and will go back and read your thread, but I am unable to come with an explanation on my own of how a man can have an affair that's a secret even to him! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Obviously I'm missing some essential detail, and will have to research this out. Are you sure you don't have Lord Clueless by mistake? Maybe Lord Clueless the 2th?

Simple. He denies he's having an affair! He was spending all day with her and would take her to the beach house on the weekends while I had to stay home watching out for dds.
What do you think he was doing?

Now she lives with him, but he's still not having an affair. "she's not important" is his mantra. He's said that to me, to his brother and his mother.

So the affair is secret for him too!

What nasty, suspicious minds people have! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> I'm sure the two of them were simply working for the salvation of the entire planet by joining together to visualize whirled peas.Solving the energy crisis? Decoding cold fusion? Um. Ah. I give up. What a dope your husband is. I know a couple of 8-yr. olds that can come up with some better excuses than THAT!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> For that matter, even the Dervish isn't that lame. And how insulting for him that you refuse to believe him, too! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

t&l,

Nice pics! I can actually SEE something!

I want to hear more about the Dervish! He sounds fascinating!! So Neak, t&l....have at it!

Oh, and any guesses as to the baby's gender yet?

Neak, go back and look at picture #2!!!!!!! It has horns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> What a terrifying thought, my dear, when you think of all the mischief the Dervish has been able to get into without a pair. Of horns, that is. Must lie down. Feeling faint and woozy. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

You might be right. I don't think Dervish's horns showed on the ultrasound until after 15 weeks. HELP!

Horns? Those aren't horns!

Little Neakie has just got her thumbs in her ears and is wagging her fingers at her grandma! Probably got her tongue stuck out, too!

Don't you know that ALL kids go through stages when they simply MUST make faces when they're getting their pictures taken? Little Neakie is just going through that stage earlier than most, and if you're lucky, she'll have grown out of it by the time she actually gets here. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Oh, brother! Lord, please tell me that you didn't make TWO of him! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I was always thankful that H didn't have a twin!

I wonder if CC's H is also like Lord Clueless in that he never, ever does ANYTHING wrong.

Oh, remember yesterday when H decided that he had started (meaning thought about it) to tear our chimney down before re-roofing the house?

Well, he's done it again. Let me preface this by saying that we have been collecting money to buy groceries and stuff for the MS victims of Katrina, plus we had a lot of clothing and needed items donated. Today, I went and bought 4 pallets of salvage groceries (bent/dent stuff, but still good). I had them taken off the pallets and stacked in the tongue end of the trailer, so I would have room for the items I bought for our store.

This evening, after I got our store stuff off the trailer, we loaded up all the donated items, and then went to our other business to load up donated items from there. Well, the weight of the groceries was too heavy on the tongue of the trailer. I piped up and said, "Why don't we move some of the boxes of groceries toward the back, and put the bags of clothing on top?"

After a few more minutes of discussing how heavy the load was on the tongue of the trailer, Lord Clueless said, "I'll tell you what...we'll just move some of the groceries toward the back and pile the other stuff on top."

Lord Clueless' buddy started grinning, and when Lord Clueless went inside, his buddy said, with a wink, "Did you hear that echo, Lady Clueless?" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

LOL! I'm not the only one who sees it! Remind me to tell you about his SOB hat sometime.

Oh, and t&l, you needn't think you're gonna be the only one with a special halo that goes to wives who have difficult husbands. I started earning mine in June of 1970, so don't I get first dibs? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

I don't think I want a halo, exactly. More like a noose. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> And yes, you beat me by 13 months. Lucky you! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Well, t&l, I don't think that there is such a thing as a noose in Heaven (why would you want one in Heaven, anyway? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> ), so I figure you'll have a halo, too. If you get there first, just remember that the one with the pretty twinkly stars on it is the one I have dibs on. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Oh, and when we do get there, we must remember to NOT step on the ducks! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Did that slip out as "noose"? It was supposed to be NEWS of our halos we were talking about!

I'm taking the position that since Jesus is providing them for us that they'll all have twinkly stars on them, and everyone will be perfectly satisfied--not like those wild sale shopping days where people dive crazily into the merchandise and trample each other in the process. I have a hard time imagining that there'll be any crown carnage when they're passed out. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Why? Is it because of the duck duty? I think duck duty will be much prettier in heaven, or something! Kinda like flower petals strewn at our feet. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I'm off to bed. I'm working only 3-1/2 days this week instead of 6, because it's Neaksis' 27th birthday tomorrow and I wanted a day off to party with the kiddies, plus my regular Friday night, plus Thursday night so I can be up Friday and take a computer class all ay. So I'm going to bed before 10 and getting up when I please. I wonder if Neak wants me to help her in the AM @ 0400 to take AJ to the airport. Let's hope not. I'm not a morning person either!

Here is what I heard about the ducks in Heaven:

Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven.

When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven: don't step on the ducks!"

So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.

Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw.

St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!"

The next day, the second woman steps accidentally on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman.

The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps.

She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on. Very tall, long eyelashes, muscular, and thin.

St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.

The happy woman says, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?"

The guy says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!"

Ooooh! Party time!! Always great fun with the kids! I'm glad to see you taking some time off work for yourself. There's no point in working yourself to death...and I don't want to see you getting first dibs on halos...even if Jesus does make sure they're all alike. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

I hope you enjoy your computer class...now you'll probably add "computer guru" to your list of accomplishments! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
