This is my 1,000th post...I thought I should say something profound. I mean afterall this time I should have learned something, right? I am a different person than I was on my 1st post thats for sure. I will never be that person again...thank goodness! I was a confused, insecure mess. Through the wonderful advice and support I have recieved here I have grown so much. I have faced my inner demons and maybe for the first time ever know who I am and what I like and what I want. My life is no where near perfect, but I am in a far better place than I was on that 1st post. I am stronger than I imagined. I am kind. I am forgiving. I am loving. I am thoughtful. I am an optimist. I am fun. I am a survivor. I will be just fine!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thank you for your help, love and support.

Are you saying you've moved to Texas? Or if you had been in California, then anywhere else???

Mel gives lessons.


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.

TOTALLY OT...

This little back & forth about moving to a "far better place," for whatever reason, reminded me of a case I had in family law. I can't remember the cite, but it was about a couple that had been shacking-up.

My state doesn't have common law marriage (i.e. shack up like man-&-wife and, viola, you are!!!) but it does recognize common law marriages from other states. In the case, the couple who had been partners in an affair while both were previously married, didn't marry each other, but did live together. They vacationed, occassionally, in PA, which is a "common law marriage" state (or it was till a couple years ago, I think).

Anyway, the opinion started out with some quote about marriage being made in heaven, and then asking if PA were, in fact, heaven, so that the couple could have been married by having lodged together as if they were married while vacationing in the state.

As would surprise exactly NOBODY who's ever been in or driven through PA, the court decided that, at least so far as that case was concerned, PA was NOT heaven.

Just thought I would share that bit of moderatly interesting trivia.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention, that this was a "divorce" case... shocking isn't it that the partners in an affair who left their spouses wouldn't actually live happily-ever-after with their affair-partner. In the end, the court didn't grant them a divorce, because it said they weren't married.
