First of all ToddAC, what in your opinion is the best toilet paper? I ask because I have been on this quest most of my life - the search for the perfect toilet paper. The ones I hate the most are the ones where the two plys don't stick together very well and then in some law of motion that has never been clearly studied or explained, the plys get out of sync and the dotted lines don't match up.

BTW, the Mexican cure for getting rid of unwanted visitors is to take a broom and place it handle side down behind a door. I swear it works. I learned that from MIL.

I finally got tired of it and had a home theater installed.


How much did that go for in the garage sale?

Pio....the problem that I see with your love bank, is that Gemela never fill up your account too well. But you were a happy go lucky kind of guy, that was happy with "what" she was giving you, or "not giving you".

Thats why your "love bank" is completely empty. She has not been a good investor.


Myrta,

I can't stop thinking about this post.

There was another post yesterday that I can't find now but it asked how gemela would have to change. The problem with that is why should I expect her to change? Okay we all change to an extent as we grow but making her what I want her to be would be boring as all getout.

All I can say is that I am suddenly enveloped in indecision. I am the proverbial deer in the headlights.

Pedicures are definitely not an EN.

The t-shirt is definitely "Chicken Soup for the Soul" material! Too cute...I bet you even got misty on that one.

I think that the "character traits" that were listed still count as ENs...could you/would you be happy without someone exchanging sarcastic remarks with you? A lack of creativity? Having no control (hitting home now)? Someone to describe your analytic thinking to? Perhaps they are character traits or qualities but I still think you need them to be happy. You would want to find these in G so that you could enrich your bond and not have to look to others to fulfill these needs. Don't you think this board is a substitute now for meeting these needs?

Ball 2. No. you are missing the point fundamentally. I do like control. But I am just as happy sitting back and letting someone else have it. Just as long as SOMEBODY is in control. Gemela can take the helm any time she wants. I have offered many times. It won't stick.

It's in my id info.

I loved the T-shirt message, she killed you, didn't she. You are getting ready for hallowen* and I'm buying goodies for my younger sister for Christmas, she just loves anything and everything about it. I got her plastic table clothes, a white bear, that looks Tejan and a green candle, by the end of the month I'll have her Christmas supplies for three years.

You think I confused boyfriend, his birthday is next Monday and I got him a ceramic sckeleton, the kind sold in Mexico, all white and funny, he didn't say anything just gave me the look.

That is my point...you are currently miserable b/c no one is in control...limbo, stagnant, directionless. Remove the element of control from your M and you would be miserable right?

I had no idea you were a baseball fan...if you are gonna strike me out make sure ball 3 is a curve <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Now you7're all in serious trouble getting Mel's attention like that. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk.

Todd - I have never heard Harley say the affair is the fault of the BS. He always says it is a choice of the WS as far as I know and I have read everything he has published I think.

What I really like about Harley is that he has the only recipe if you like for marital recovery - practical steps, do this that I have seen.

Pittman is one smart cookie when it comes to affairs but what is his plan for surviving them and building your marriage again. Harley has no peer as far as I have seen. Everyone's an expert at defining affairs and the reasons. Harley is the only one who has a viable plan for recovery. Certainly appeals to this engineer.

I swear on DD1's painted shirt I will never write one word to that address. I promise to keep everything here. All I sent was an MP3 file and ToddAC got it too. It was very relevant. No EA's here. I know the deal.

That was too funny. Poor Doug didn't know who had put the link to his site.
