I knew you weren't a Texan. If you were a Texan, that OW wouldn't be standing. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Oh my Melody...do you think I should have gone out there and made a stink? I thought I was just being a "lady" and letting them get the stuff and be gone. Damn...I don't know though, yes it would have been on MY property. But all of WS friends are scared of OW? She gets up in their faces and makes threats against them. She's a pretty scary person....totally wacked out.

Feeling a bit blue now that the rush is gone from it...seems permanent now. All the stuff is gone...he's gone. Plan B continues...at least I did well with this situation...just feeling heart pangs now that I haven't felt in over a month. It hurts...

Funny Melody
My Grandma and Grandpa were from Texas. My Grandma was a force to be recogned with. Her own kids were embarressed by her antics, but I loved her for it. My Grandma had great spirit and spunk and once upon a time, I did too, compliments of my Grandma's influence. When I was five years old my mom married a mean, drunk who abused her and her kids. I being all of five years old, having spent my first five years under the influence of my Texan Grandma, was outraged at his behavior. One evening he was paticulary vulgar, crude and mean, I snuck into his room, retrieved his hunting rifle, walked into the front room and pointed it at him while he was sitting on the couch. I told him with five year old bravo, he needed to stop this or I was going to shoot him. Needless to say the man almost crapped his pants. This is a story my older sisters tell often. They did not have the stupidity or guts, which ever way you look at it to do anything about our situation with the abusive step-father, and admired me for the guts I displayed over the years not taking my step-father's abuse. Somewhere in my marriage, I lost my spunk and lost my five year old child's outrage at being mistreated, and I am trying to get that back. I think that five year old could really be a help to establish respect for me in my marriage.

Texans Rule!!!


In the end, I have nothing to lose but everything to gain, by trying to save my marriage.

Well damn KDS...you shoulda been here...coulda used your spunk!! Nah...OW is such the joke around us all. We joke that WS can't even go to the bathroom alone without her hovering. She's soooo afraid she's going to lose her boy toy.
