ZZZZZZZ....zzzzz

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick question and I hope someone can help me.

Do we have a member on this site that lives in France? I seem to remember that one of the regulars lives there but for the life of me can't remember which poster it is.

I need some help with some information for my business. It is just a quick question I need answered. I hope it is okay to ask something so non A related.

If you would prefer to contact me by email I have added my email address again.

I'll be back later tonight to see how you all are.

Thanks, Beth

Economic theory, presidential biographies and, just as if it can't get any worse, the french! I'm outta here. I may have some toe nails to clip or something - anything but this.

I hope they identify themselves so I can apply the ignore filter to them. I do recall there was someone who lived in France and was a real antagonist in this thread.

LOL, I think I'll get you guys the tee shirt that reads "I'm a gun totin', flag wavin' xenophobe, and I'm proud of it."

(There is a real tee shirt that says that.)

But I'm going to get myself the one I've always wanted which I saw a student wearing that says "I see dumb people"

francophobe is more appropriate. Only "phobe" isn't really the issue. It is not fear - it is disgust. What's the latin derivation for that?

I think "ahuman" was the offender BTW. No french but married to one and had lived there.

Do you realise we are now covering old ground again? I'm sure I've called you xenophobes before.

Shock, horror, not french but married to "one". <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Good evening everyone,

Guess I learnt a lesson tonight! I promise I will never mention that country again even if I am tortured.

I solved my problem and hired a translator.

Thanks anyway, have a good night. Beth.

BrownHair, or something like that, lives in Belgium.....I think.

I am sore from going to hooping class. We have a group practice session Sunday. I hope I have a hoop by then. It will be blue and green and yellow. I am learning to pump. I can't limbo yet. The limbo move is easier than the booty bump.

Is the hoola hoop girl still on Letterman's "Will it Float?"? She is far more interesting than the grinder girl. And more talented too.

BTW, I'm a Zenaphile - even after we found out her little secret.

For a moment I thought you mean Xenaphile - her little secret is that she's a New Zealander.

Who is Zena?

My bad. Yes. Xenaphile. And I thought she was Aussie.

Ah...the bits & pieces that keep this thread on page one.

What's the matter Pio, American girls not good enough for you? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Too funny! Although I am a master at the spy game by now, I must confess that I have not been spying on you...just figured since enough time had elapsed, if you were like me, you would have had to return for a little refreshment. I am not a Tequila lover, never have been....just never sat well with me...glad you can enjoy it though.

Thank you for your kind words. I don't know about being brave...I consider it more of being half crazy but I do feel like I can walk away and know that I gave every opportunity and then some and it just wasn't going to happen. Like all the wise MBers say...we can only control ourselves.

My only fear is that since we will always have to be in touch b/c of the kids that he will try to be one of those little splinters you get stuck under your skin, can't really see it to get it out, it is wildly aggravating and uncomfortable, you always know it is there but can't seem to get rid of it for the life of you...you consider just cutting off your finger to rid yourself of the annoyance...yeah, that 's how I feel about WH being XH...I'll have to make sure I don't allow that to happen.

He is in his own world, still asking me to help him with stuff, calling for no real reason, complaining to me about things as if I am going to be sympathetic...maybe after a while of me consistently reacting the same way he'll figure it out and pretty much just deal with the kids and I'll be the greeter and collector. I'd like to witch-slap him into reality but don't think that would do anything cept make me feel better:)

I think you should shop for a new life after you have had a few "black cowboys"!!!! LOL just thinking about all the possibilities with that one

Am I that bad that you already posted photos and I missed them? I apologize if that is the case...wow, I must have missed the boat.

Have no fear, I don't think I have the capability to be a Disney Parent...specially since even in the good times I have "just said no" to Disney...

Each quarter between breaks the kids and I have "fun" time...last time the first day of "family fun" we were in the car wreck and the kids declared after that there would be no more pre-planned "family fun days" we would just try to have fun everyday

The 3 kids and myself had a pow-wow last night and we decided we would look at our situation as being "in search of the divorce prize"...we all know that things happen for a reason and there is positive in every situation so we decided we would make it our business to find the "divorce prize". DD1 is coming up with our slogan and DD2 and DS will create the secret sign. When things get bad or emotional we will flash the sign and chant our slogan to unite and strengthen us since we all came to the conclusion that this is what we want..to be closer and stronger. They were quite remarkable as I was misting and they were joking with me about crying and singing silly songs to make me laugh.

I am working a transer for when the school year ends here to an assignment that is very stable...it wasn't my plan when I arrived at my current location but ironically it is very close to Focus on the Family, a company I have always wanted to work for...if/when I become a civilian I would have that opportunity:)

You seem to be doing quite well in your R. I bet that your anger during quite time is only due to your opportunity to reflect...that should teach you to stay BUSY...the longer time in R, I think the more the anger, bitterness etc should fade...BK would be able to tell you about that stuff I'm sure. What do I know!

I am just so genuinely happy that you have made it this far Pio...you will grow to become one of the MB wise ones...

Oh 2Much,

you are so cuddlable. Your WS will spend a cold winter.

I concur!
