TT,

You are truly evil. I knew I liked you for some reason I couldn't put my finger on. Now I know. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks, you made me laugh.

Pio,

First, how are you?

When were those cards sent?

I have been bitten and, were it not for cat-like reflexes, I would not have testicles left. I was scanning the cards and WW tried to take them from me. She actually ate one of them.

Obviously it has not been my best day. I'll post tomorrow (if I am not killed while I sleep).

Pio,

Don't think I've posted on your threads before. You are really, really bad....

That said, I still looked at the cards and photos. If immaturity and BAD taste are grounds for D, you are set up. She fell for THAT? The only thing more repulsive then the photos of him are the ridiculous cards.

I've been meaning to post to you, hoping to help. But I'm in a sour mood after finding out yesterday that one of my best friends is being cheated on by his wife. I'm not feeling too charitable towards WWs right now. So, I'd probably hurt more than help. Anyway... I've followed your thread and I'm sorry that you and your girls are having to deal with this.

I love TT's idea myself. I was wondering the same as ToddAC about when they were sent...

Has WS told you anything about the why's and what she is getting out of all of this?

Sorry GrownUp but you sound like my wife. I hear this all the time. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'll tell the whole story tomorrow. These are like "momentos". I don't think they are recent cards. It is why she has kept them all this time that is the issue at the moment.

I know it doesn't make it any easier but I almost lost a finger wrestling a cell phone away from H trying to read TMs before he deleted them...he was trying to slam the door so I couldn't get it all the while I had 1 hand in a death grip on the phone...he won...I never saw the first TM so I know they must have been pretty bad...on the other hand I still have 10 fingers left

i can laugh about it b/c envisioning it is hysterical...i have yet to read the 1st TM and would probably throw up if I did anyway...

i love that she busted you scanning them and can so picture her eating one!!! Did you ask her how she enjoyed it?
At least you were able to see a reaction of sorts.

You have to figure that she must be mortified on many counts...my guess is the public advertising sealed the reaction...you can start your own MB photo thread now <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sleep with one eye open <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

It always gets worse before it gets better, isn't that what the saying is?

I will be thinking of you and praying that this is a turning point and that WS purges feelings, emotions and comes clean on the entire A for you now that things have hit DEFCON 4

Hang in there, you are a very tough RIPPLE remember?

Hey... can you move that link to another site? You can go back to the main site and see personal stuff like your kids' photos. I'd PM if you about that if I could... just concerned about that.

I am not too worried about the main site. It has always been public domain. That is why I made it. Besides, have you seen the security here in Saudi Arabia?

I do have another site though and I will move it. I just didn't have time. I was protecting the family jewels with both hands.

I think the expression I like better is that it is always darkest before the dawn.

Blech.

Haven't posted to you in a month of Sundays, but erg!

If I ever decide to take the dieting to the binging and purging level, I know just what to look at to get the ol gag reflex goin.

You got style Pio.

I'm not saying it lightly. You've distanced yourself from the miasma that ww created....and you might not feel like it sometimes, but you are doing it nobly.

ROFLOL picturing the cage match!

Good luck on decompressing after that...and you mentioned sleep in the same sentence??? You must be superhuman...I would be guaranteed 72 hr insomnia and a 3 pound wt loss for sure!

Focus on girls to keep you sane for now...

R U expecting a rematch in the near future or are you getting the silent avoidance treatment?

I am worried about the bite wounds. She drew serious blood. Is WS disease contagious? Like "Day of the Dead"?

OMG! Where is the Pentrexyl?

No rematch. WW is pretty contrite at the moment. I promise a blow-by-blow in the AM. It is so amazing and funny how it all started. All quite an accident. It is almost 7:00PM now and I am tired from the wrestling. At one point I had to put WW in a chair, double her up and sit on her (and protect my privates!). We played Scrabble later. I even helped her with a triple word score. Go figure.

Pio,

OM sounds like an Elizabethan lovesick schoolboy.

He does mention that he will be waiting for WW in Mexico. Was that part of Plan B or was that a plan they had concocted up during Plan A?

You could strap a..... oh, nevermind. Bad idea.

I don't think that Mexico has anything to do with her impending trip. That card was written a while ago (before Valentine's day by the look of it).

While I was scanning the cards, WW accused me of not being able to put the A behind me. If I could spell incredulous, that is how I felt. She leaves OM's love letters socked away and accuses me of not being able to put the A behind me. I tried to explain to her how stupid that sounded but I never could make my point. She feels the love letters are simply momentos. I said people who make mistakes and regret them, don't keep souvenirs. People who keep love letters are still in love.

I did tell her that it seemed to me that she was doing everything she could to force me to be the one to end the marriage so I would be the bad guy and not her. She said she knew she had to destroy those letters in case I might find them.

To her credit, she said she only looks at them not even once a week. She is trying (very trying).

Dealan-de,

What is wrong with you? Don't you recognize the sexiest man on the planet when you see him?

Personally I love the photos. I like those pensive, wanting looks. I'm only surprised there wasn't a nude shot.

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding Ding...exactly what I was thinking!

I've had the pleasure in the past and must say it's nearly impossible to remove the photo thread from your mind so be thankful for missing out on that joy!

I also thought what Todd stated about the schoolboy theme...it's a catch 22...i think it's the riduculousness of the lovesick fog talk that fuel these things...somehow they choose to believe it's even possible...boss, the plane, the plane

OHGAWD! Where's a pencil???

I need to poke my mental eye out.

Self defense and all that.

Seriously, that latin temper thing is just another excuse to behave in an unladylike manner (in a long list of excuses, I'll bet).

That whole attacking you over some cards that are worth nothing and from nothing is the biggest load of horse $hit I've seen in a long time....

And I'm from Texas....we KNOW horse$hit when we see/smell it.

Tell me, you own stock in a company that makes the hip/chest high waders, right?

I knew it.

This sounds so much like the Wookie that it's terrifying.

As IF we could ever be the bad guy.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I just had a lightbulb moment...

My DS asked to do something, I gave him permission, excitedly he says thank you, you're the best, ILY mom

It was a simple thing, but he does this constantly...it triggered a mom/son moment and I kindly explained about the words ILY...I heard myself telling him to use thank you and that's great and save ILY for meaningful things not material things...I distinctly remember saying, "Loving someone doesn't always mean you get what you want everytime you want something; if I couldn't give you what you wanted would you quit loving me? Love means much more than getting what you want on your terms, it means being able to accept things whether you like them or not and sometimes having to wait or revise or rethink what you want...when you finally get whatever it is you wanted it usually has much more meaning or you realize that it wasn't really what you wanted."

Hmmmmm, maybe I should start taking my own advice...
