Well, if he was planning divorce he might as well have given her 50% right away.

Up 50% part or 50% down part?

Morning Nams,

Do you think Luna is still recovering from too much SF?

Hi Larousse,

Good morning to you too!

Too much SF? Define please. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

You know: Golden Gate, Chinetown, Fishermen market, La Villita, Alcatraz, etc...

Beth,

I agree with Pio about your boys being happy to have a sister.

Yes, the circumstances s..k & your H is a nightmare, so is the OW but the child will need all the love she can get.

My niece is a bit of a screw up. She was not working in high school so my sister (divorced & not remarried at the time) sent her to a private boarding school to ensure she would at least graduate high school. Wrong, she failed english. The school told her if she took an english class & passed they would graduate her from their school.

Should have been a piece of cake. It wasn't. Eventually I had her come live with me over a summer & do nothing but take an english class. She did & passed & was awarded her high school diploma.

She'd met a guy at the boarding school, they developed a relationship. She moved in with him at 19 years old. Met someone else while living with him, moved out to live with the new guy & got pregnant at 21 years old. They got married & divorced in the span of a year. The father is a mess & has given up rights to the daughter. She is now on the verge of moving back in with the guy she was with at 19. He's nice but not in a position to provide for a family. Neither is my niece. She's currently living with my sister.

Too late for a short story here but the daughter is as sweet as can be I & my boys love her more than words can say. She will have great difficulty in her life due to my niece being a screw up but the rest of us in her family will do what ever we can to make her feel loved.

Oh, OK Larousse. I'm glad you cleared that up. I was on the verge of misunderstanding the SF reference. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

How's your plummer?

He should come tomorrow. I swear there's a leak under the sink.

This life without a life is hard.

How are you doing?

I'm fine. Looking forward to Thanksgiving. I'll see my father & my niece's daughter. My boys can't wait to see her. I'm sure they'll scare her at first because they will all want to be close to her & try to play with her. She's almost 1 1/2, cute & sweet as can be.

I too have life without a life. Well, almost. I am corresponding with a man & we spoke on the phone the other night. I HATE the phone & end up feeling like I'm stumbling along being anything but a smooth conversationalist.

Oh, & I have my work out there for the holidays & would love to see all of it sell.

larousse,

If you can find a problem with your floor drain (yes they have those in Mexico), he'll have to bend over further. Helloooo?

Pio,

I would like to compare notes. I have been going through various threads, reading posts and adding the slightest offensive poster to my ignore list. Some of the "crimes" included:

1. Any degradation of Superman
2. Man jokes
3. Political discussion
4. Anyone else running for President
5. claims that the Little 10 or Little 12 or Pathetic 8 is half as strong as the SEC in college football.
9. Anyone who thinks that a preposition is a bad word to end a sentence with.
10. Conservatives
11. Liberals
12. Being against carpet bombing
13. Against nuclear bombs
14. Taking Einstein's name in vain.
15. Believes in Global Warming
16. Believes in UFO's.
17. Thinks the war in Iraq is due to oil
18. Doesn't believe in Santa Claus

I just checked my ignore filter summary; I have 2,173 members on my ignore list. Am I even in your ballpark with ignores?

Can you define "believes in global warming"? Do you mean "thinks it exists" or do you mean "it is god"? Is it okay to worship global warming or does that get you on the ignore list?

Todd, I'd like to say something to Jen but I'm not so sure she'll be around for a while. If I'm not mistaken you two have emailed each other & I wondered if I could send her an email through you please.

Pio, we too have a trampoline. The boys go in spurts. They love it for a while then don't touch it for what seems like a long time. As soon as I say I'd like to get rid of it they take an immediate interest.

Todd you're full of spunk these days. What's got you all fired up?

Larousse,I think the plummer is looking for a GF, YOU! He seems to spend way too much time "fixing" stuff. Maybe he's just a bad plummer or maybe he can't get enough of you...

Forgive my lack of clarity. "Believe in GW" means that one believes that "Climate Change" is due to reasons other than long term natural cycles.

Hi nams, no problem.

Thanks Todd. Oh, it's too early for a political discussion.

nams, do you mean other than those who believe in Global Warming, don't believe in Superman or Santa Claus? Oh, I have a new one I almost forgot. If a member does NOT believe in the Loch Ness monster, the creature from the Black Lagoon or Bigfoot (or Sasquatch for our friends in Canuckville), they are placed on my ignore list. That brings the total to 5,659. Never realized how many don't believe in the foregoing super heroes.
