Hi Nams,

Quote
Pleeeeze Todd, a bit more of your poem or song which may include the concept of a guitar as an axe.

Hmm???? No song or poem about axe as guitar. The only pop music reference I can remember to axe is "The Wall". Something like: "Look in the corner, you'll find my favorite axe". I wonder where the nickname axe for a guitar came from? Plus, I am much too shy to publish my own poem or lyrics here.

I may be related to Lizzy Borden. Does that scare you Todd?


You make me dizzy Miss Lizzy.

Morning Luna,

You have just given Todd a reason to post poems: He loves to be 'tied' up.

Actually, it's handcuffs. I wasn't even aware until policwoman cuffed me to the bed to stop me from stopping them from removing my microwave. Then she forgot about me and left me here for three days. It wasn't bad.

I have never been to TJ but have heard so much about it. It is made for US tourists who want women, drugs or both. I thought the US was cracking down and that they were going to enforce a law requiring the use of passports to cross the border?


DS2 went to TJ some years ago. He got separated from his group and was robbed by six hooligans. Guess who he called? Long story but he was okay. Learned a lot.

Wanna hear a funny joke? No, sorry, can't tell that one here. I would surely get reported.

I cannot tell it. We have a fungus among us. Someone just waiting for an excuse to report another member. Poor Nams. Why did it have to be her? It should have been me. Or.....I don't know....somebody. Anyway, I will not give that person the pleasure.

Not today anyway.

Todd,

I think sometimes mods just screen posts. Not because someone complains but as a daily, 'cleaning' activity.

Guys, question about strategy:
1) Do you think if I don't pressure WH, he will get to NC by himself???!!!!
2) Also, his parents are coming in 10 days (from Germany) to spend 2 or 3 weeks with us. His brother is also coming for a week with his family (from Chicago) during this period. (bat mitvah for H’s DD).
What should be my strategy with them right now? They think the A is over and everything is fine. How much info should I give them? How can I "use" them to help my M?

Estrela,

I understand that NC has to be restablished formaly again with the NC letter even when he already sent one.

About exposure, if you think there is a need for more exposure you may do it but don't expect them to do anything specifically. Meaning, you don't tell them to help you to convince him of stopping the affair. You just tell them what's going on.

Good morning everybody and what a lovely morning it is.

Larousse, I don't think the mods "screen" posts.

Good afternoon, I see I screwed up my hasta earlier, meant to say hasta luego not manana, my Spainish isn't THAT bad.

Luna, no I don't blame myself for the fake recovery not working. I fully understand it takes two willing & committed partners to recover the marriage. Just pisses me off from time to time.

I think you are exactly right when you say ex stayed to justify leaving the M & avoid taking responsibility for choosing to leave.

I do think not having the facts about infidelity & feeling lied to has made my recovery harder in some respects.

Pio thanks for the offer to talk glazes with you. I may take you up on that. Here's a general question for you. Companies who sell glazes will use a tile to show the glaze. When you buy their glazes often the results are completely different from the tile. I know different clay formulas will affect the glaze as will what's in a kiln load & the other glazes used on other pieces in the firing. What would the glaze companies want in their tile to show their glaze to it's best advantage?

I use laguna clay & laguna glazes. I originally bought the two thinking I could get the company to share with me which of their glazes work best on which of their clays. But they told me they don't use their own clays when showing a glaze. Seems wrong to me. We're left with trial & error which can get costly. If I buy 5 glazes & 2 come out consistently well I consider myself very lucky. Is it all just a money grab?

I wonder if the "reporter" if there is one, might be scaredy cat. Just a thought.

Todd I understand being too shy to post your poems or song lyrics. The same thing kept me from art for years. When I made the reference to guitar as an axe I thought you were saying the guitar, with its ability to evoke emotion, could cut like an axe. I thought you might be showing us a bit of your work.

Gotta go to middle son's track meet then to back to school night for oldest son. I'm so looking forward to it because ex will be there. Thankfully he doesn't bring gf to these events. Looking on the bright side.

Hi Nams,

No, I didn't think that but it is a great idea. Very good.

The French serve as a parody of themselves. Can you have a parody of a parody? Is that a parody squared?

I'm baaack. No meet. Called due to a soggy field.

Oldest son is acting 15 & I want him to stop. Life is all about him & things not going his way. The only pleasure I get at times like this is when I tell him to end his hissy fit. He hates to think he has hissy fits. Tee hee.

Uh oh "bothwise" could be misconstrued. Let's just see how it plays out.

Todd you're a gentleman to want to take to brunt of censor for me. I don't think there are long term implications...are there?
