Well BigK, congratulations on the milestone and my condolences on the millstone. The congratulations are for the milestone of 3000 posts and I'm honored that you thought of Todd and me. My condolences are for the millstone of having to post 3000 times on the subject of infidelity. I'm reminded again of how sorry I am that it has touched your life. You're a good man.

Pio - fortunately threads like TKO mean I have way less than 3000 posts on infidelity.

Pio I think you are on the recovery trail yourself.

None of us deserve this and I have nothing but the highest admiration for BS's fighting for their marriage and FWS's who have earned their "F"

I have the highest regard for the people on TKO.

One of the things I really appreciate about you is that your standards are so low. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

All that aside, I have a question. How many different ways are there to fold a bath towel and, more importantly, how many different ways can one person fold a bath towel? My maid is really starting to piss me off.

The number of ways would easily be represented by 1 bit

I find that interesting because I think most men wouldn't care less about how a towel was folded.

No - it MAY be able to be represented by 1 BYTE. Not 100% sure about that though. I may ask her tonight if she has studied origami. I find not other obvious explanation.

Well I just got a bit of bad news. One of my cousins back in Arkansas was involved in a motor vehicle accident with the family car in a severe thunderstorm so the conditions were very wet.

He had crawled underneath to get out of the rain and it fell off the blocks and broke his leg.

No, it just means you talk a lot!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Seriously, congrats on 3000 posts. You have helped and saved many marriages in those 3000. No one will ever forget that. You know I consider you an "expert". Your advice and words of wisdom mean a lot to the people you take time to post to.

You give kick-[censored] advice (literally!) and I, for one, am grateful for it.

So you finally got NC? Congrats.

Let me see...I did a little bit of research yesterday on BigK's 3000 posts and graphed them by category. It turns out that exactly 2187 of the 3000 posts - a clear majority - simply said: :Steph - DO NOT HAVE SF WITH YOUR HUSBAND!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

H_O, ever though of being a psychologist?

As always, even with my poor english, you can understand exactly what I am going thru and always give me that strength with your advice and "alerts".

Thanks for asking that question. It helped me a lot to reinforce my position in this recovery.

Weekend was really great, it's a bit cold here and we stayed home all weekend having fun with the girls. Playing games, Calico Critters, lego... and we even baked and burned a chocolate cake, one could say there were 4 kids in the house... we even tryed to play volley ball inside but that was not a good idea <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> of course after 9pm was only for us. We talked future and fears. Felt good.

H_O, ever though of being a psychologist?

Actually I quite enjoyed psychology in school and it did have its intrigue. I gave it up completely however when I took Abnormal Psychology II. This is no exaggeration but I swear I had every affliction I studied in that book. It was scary. I dropped out before we got to studying serial killers and I have always felt that the world is a better place as a result. Even so, I would have kept it up if it were not for some rather bad luck. An attractive girl in my class who sat 4 seats behind me had a very unfortunate combination of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis and acute test anxiety. I still have the nightmares.

Last night, DDs, WW and I played Scrabble. WW started the game with "TOY". DD1 then played "ZOO". It was the shortest game of Scrabble I've ever played in my life. (She used the "O" in TOY as the middle "O" in ZOO - we have since talked)

I've never tried volleyball inside a house. I have tried indoor tetherball because it seemed safe and, to an extent, it is. Just don't put the pole in the dining room. Trust me on this one.

Yes... I read his history.

Why do you ask?

"Months later, Yokoi told a Japanese journalist that he had in fact had a deeply personal reason for remaining isolated."

At all related?

Actually I was referring to Shekou - a city in China not too far from HK.
