Now that's quite enough Todd. That was truly beautiful but you must stop right now.

For pity's sake GET OUT OF THAT PLACE and find somewhere more uplifting to live.

See, I DID depress you. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

And quite enough from you too, Larousse. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

How about this one from Monty Python:

I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night. I work all day.

Mounties : He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.

Mounties: He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.

Chorus : I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.

I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.

Mounties : He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?!

Chorus : I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.

I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspenders, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Mama


Mounties : He cuts down trees. He wears high heels,
Suspenders, and a bra?!

Chorus : I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.

Yes, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm ok-a-y.
I sleep all night and I work all day.

Thorns are the way of roses of being mean.


The Little Prince

I got a new kinda walk, walk, walk,

I got a new kinda walk, walk, walk,

I got a new kinda walk...

and it shows I'm feeling fine.

Three little piggies in Sesame Street.

LOL Larousse, that's better. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Gracias Kiwi !


It helped to imagine Pio and Todd, dancing in garther belts * <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

...and my BF called me from the open air concert of Dylan near Boston and I'm listening LIVE, the opening groups, they are singing Mexican country.

I have been on the road all day. I'll read tomorrow. Larousse - thanks for whatever you wrote. I haven't read it but I do appreciate that you wrote it. Don't ever apologize. The only things that have ever offended me on this forum are pink shorts, Ahuman's assertion that the French might have a redeeming value of some kind and ToddAC just on general principle.

Let me read tomorrow.

Gut schlafen

Todd,

How are you doing?

Did you see the piggies song?


...kinda walk

Pio,

Aus den Augen, aus dem Sinn.

Tod,

I hope you are feeling much better.

It was not my intention to cause you any distress with the poems or my posts.

I'm even glad this thread had some nice poetry images. What do you think of the Cummings poem?

The poem didn't do it to me. I was already depressed.

I like the e e cummings poem a lot. He is also a favorite. I sure wish he would learn the upper case though. I believe he is a university professor, or was; you think he'd know better.

Tonight at midnight, I suddenly became aware of my hunger. I have determined that grown men, left to their own devices, revert back to behavior not seen since their college years. I didn't want to walk to anymore restaurants. Yesterday, I walked to a Mexican restaurant, had a great dinner and two beers; earlier today I walked to an English Pub and had a salad, fish & chips and two beers. So, I did what any normal college student would do: I ordered pizza. And two beers. It was great. Even have half for tomorrow or the next day.

So, with a belly full of pizza and beer, here I sit in the middle of the night. I dropped my wireless mouse earlier and it disappeared. Apparently, it proved that quantum physics is possible after all. I figure it hit against the side wall and is now sitting under the bed in suite 211. Fortunately, I have a back up. In fact, that was the old one. I liked it better than the new one.

I think part of my problem is I am taking so many medicines. They all have their little side effects you know. Reminds me of the old Jefferson Airplane song: One pill makes you happy and one pill makes you sad; or something like that.

Let's see: I take to prevent blood clots. Clots, they tell me, are not good. I take one to prevent seizures. Two were plenty. I take one to keep my brain from swelling too much after the treatments. Of course, then there is the requisite post-infidelity AD. I take 21 of those a day and have been for five weeks. Nothing. Like drinking Kool-aid. I also take three hormones because the tumor messed with my balancing mechanism. I take another to regulate my heart beat to help prevent all of the above. I can't even remember what the others are for. Three more I believe.

Think they could have something to do with the way I feel?

larousse,

Okay I read your post. I am older than gemela but the difference in age is not that obvious in appearance. My family has that kind of genetics. I do think gemela hit a mid-life crisis at 30. I think she is very afraid of growing old and 30 was a big number for her. IMO the basic problem with gemela is that she has still not grown up. I did love the early gemela and I love her now in a way. There is something fundamentally wrong with her and I think she now realizes that.

So you read everything. Wow. All I can say is you have WAY to much free time. I would be very interested in anything you might have gotten out of all that. When I read those love letters and I look at the phone records, I see a 15 year old girl with a crush. Did you look at the Excel spreadsheets? Look at the call pattern. I have it plotted 9 ways to today (Sunday). I am amazed at the 20 and 30 second phone calls minutes apart. How does that go? "Hey, I love you. Bye". [ring] "Hey, I love you more. Bye". It is just childish.

gemela goes back to Mexico tomorrow. Our M may be over but I don't know. She can fight her way back or give up. The ball is definitely in her court. If she wants back, I will give her that opportunity but she needs to mean it and be willing to prove she can do it. I think the break will be good for me in many ways. I think it will be good for her too. It may end our marriage but at least it will do it quickly rather than make me agonize for years.

I am not thinking about the M or the A right now. I am just thinking about life without gemela for a time. I realize that with DDs it is not that simple. Can I sacrifice my happiness for them? Yes. Can I put up with gemela's childishness? No. Gemela needs to grow up - whatever the consequences. Was pool boy her soulmate? No. He was a player. Am I her soulmate? No. I am her husband. Gemela just needs to decide what she wants and go for it. I am at the point where I can live without her if that is her decision. I don't know what we will do about the DDs. I haven't gotten that far. I still have some hope that the M will work.

This year has been good in that it got me to this point. I love her but am not in love with her. The love letters were the final nail in the coffin. Right now my sister is checking her phone records to see if gemela has been calling any 44 numbers. If she has been, the answer is obvious.

Last week she bought a bra in Victoria's Secret but the bottom was not available. Today she bought a bottom in another VS and, when we got home, she said it wasn't an exact match. I said "nobody is going to see it". But I thought maybe I was wrong. I didn't say that though.

ToddAC,

wasn't tucktummy here a while ago or is it my imagination? Did I offend her? I am so bad about that.

I was thinking about the trees. Maybe the parts of trees above 33 feet live on water vapor in some way. Diffusion theory might cover that. Or maybe they have a complex internal "lock and dam" system that allows water to be sucked up past 33 feet. I don't see any way they can push water even through capillary action. if they can push water - problem solved. They just can't suck water past 33 feet. We should really cut down many more old tall trees so that they can be dissected and studied.

Pio,

Does WW typically buy her bras and bottoms at VS?

[color:"white"] . [/color]

Almost exclusively.

BTW, we went through our storage the other day. I can't believe how much crap we have stored and we still did not see most of it because of the way it is packed. Gemela found a Harley skirt and vest and pulled it out. OK. Later at the house she told me she never really liked it and wanted to give it to her sister but it was dirty. I told her it either needed to go to a professional cleaner or else but a can of leather cleaner and give it a try. She said they don't have those things in Mexico. I said that it would be cheaper for me to throw that vest and skirt in the trash than pay money to have ot cleaned just to give it to her sister. I suggested she just give it to her and tell her that, if she liked it, she could find a way to get it cleaned. It was not really dirty. It just wasn't "brand new" clean enough for gemela. Anyway, she shut up when I asked why I had to pay money so she could give clothes she has never worn to her sister.

entonces hazlo pero en Español por favor.

larousse, I undertand why ToddAC is up at this hour but you have no excuse. I am going to bed. Please post but let me get some sleep and I will read it later. I gotta go.
