french cuisine is really just about putting the most disgusting thing you can think of on a plate and charge high prices for it. I buy raw hamburger in the supermarket for a dollar or two a pound. Put it on a french plate and it costs $20.00 Where is the value added? It's raw hamburger - not steak tartar.
Escargot - that's just garden slugs on the half shell. I can give you all you want from my yard - cheap! I'll even salt em for you. No extra charge.
Nouveau Cuisine = little food on big plates.
Sulfur sounds like paper mills. Arkansas is full of them. I never thought the smell was pleasant. Eats the paint off cars too.

In my view, the word "mistake" is a euphemism to blunt the harshness of what she did. I prefer infidelity or cheating. Call a spade a spade. Funny Todd - I prefer "Sleazy Adulterous Affair" myself. Shortly after my wife came home, she referred to her SAA as a "romantic Relationship" Haven't heard her use that term for a while now. Larousse - 23 years. That sucks.

Guys,
I don't know how to broach the subject of a "conversation". I feel like I'm in a Mexican standoff - with a real Mexican no less! There has to be "home court" advantage in that.

Sheesh, everyone's always been to Australia. Don't you people know that 3 hours from Australia is one of the best kept secrets in the world. Tahiti?

We had 3 days in Yosemite which was BEAUTIFUL and great to be away from the rat race..." Good thing she didn't go to Yosemite in the summer. It is quite the rat race then. And the bears have more food.

WW did tell DD2 this AM that she is never leaving again. We will see. Pio, What in the world is the point of saying "We will see"? WW told DD2 she will never leave again? And your response is "We will see"? Get over it man.

Price of Gas here?
Hmm
We are currently paying $1.12 a litre.
So 1.12AU=0.82US @ 0.7294
1 gallon= 3.785412 Litres
so..... we are paying US$3.10 a gallon for gas.
we were paying AU$1.45 a while ago. You can do that conversion yourself.
My tank holds 180 litres. Yep. Big Bill.

Song lyrics? Oh boy!!
All day I faced the barren wait
Without the taste of water.
Cool, clear water.
Wa-ter.
2regret,
I know that an A can be difficult to talk about. You are in a great community, meaning MB and not necessarily TKO, and you will find supportive folks here when you are ready. Talking about it truly helps.
