Oh yeah, just one more thing:

The letter was dated THE DAY of the hearing so I was right on that point, too.

Post-hearing revenge.

Geez, those crumb-bums need to get a life.

I didn't think I'd hear a lawyer say "ain't"

LOL Charlotte!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Mr. W is a lawyer that says "ain't"...Course that is usually when his yankee butt is tryin' to sound all Southern and folksy, thinkin' this will somehow endear him to whoever he's talkin' to...Silly Yankee doesn't get that no matter what he says, or how he says it, he's still just a Scallywag Carpetbaggin' YANKEE (I love him anyway though)!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sounds like you have a good handle on things Charlotte...Really, it may not feel like it all the time, but you are doing GREAT!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Mrs. W!!!

That's a great story about Mr. W. Mr. Gray is a Yankee, too. My grandpa used to tease him about it sometimes.

He has lived in Texas long enough to qualify as a Texan, though. But now I just want to kick his butt out.

Yeah, that "ain't" thing was pretty funny!!

Thanks for supporting me because sometimes it DOESN"T feel like I'm doing all that great.

But hey, I didn't call Mr. Gray and chew him out about these false allegations. I could very easily have done that.

That's probably what he was hoping for.

Well, no worky-worky Mr. Jerky-Jerky!!!!

Hi RIF!!

Thanks for letting me know! I'll probably be ranting and raving all night about Mr. Gray and his shenanigans.

Or not!!!

Take care,

I was out and about running errands, minding my own business and this "cowboy" or more appropriately "faux cowboy" comes up to me and asks me to participate in a threesome with him and his girlfriend.

I'm like, "Huh?!" No THANK you, I AM MARRIED!!" Well, I didn't thank him but I darn sure told him I was married.

What is it? Do some predators just sense this sort of thing? Like in the wild kingdom of animals? Sensing the weak?

That's just disgusting! I wouldn't participate in such a thing even if I WASN'T weak.

I guess I can't even go out and run errands for Pete's sake!

Yuck and then some! And this kid was young enough to have been my own. I mean, GROSS!!!

Eeeewwwwwwww! Anyone from Texas wanna run my errands for me?

Could it be that someone setup that 'cowboy' to test you? Betcha there was a camera nearby desperately trying to trap you but you were smarter than those A activists <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.

You know, Orchid...that could be true. I hadn't even thought of that!

Well, they are going to have to come up with a better trap, if indeed it was them. And they aren't going to get me. So they might as well quit now.

If this kind of strange crap keeps happening I really will have to leave town.

Meanwhile, I'm up again after a strange dream. Some guy was trying to give me muscle relaxers and following me around trying to "get" me. Dang! What happened to those H.R. Puf-n-Stuf dreams? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That same type of thing happened to me in Reno about 7 years ago. A guy came up to me and wanted me to "film" he and his wife for $500.00. Needless to say I quickly declined as it way off my radar.

Some people have open marriages. Laff I asked my WxGF if that's what she wanted after I found out she cheated jsut to see what she was angling at. She vehemently said no so I guess she just wants someone to validate her but she's way too jealous and posseive to let anyone she's invovled be interested with someone else. She was accusing of texting or calling my other girlfriend once she got into the A. It irked her that I didn't look at other women. I told her I'm in lvoe with you so I don't need to look. Women may be pretty or attractive but I was never tempted in the slightest.

I've always been a one woman guy.

Hi 411!

Yeah, that's pretty gross! That sort of thing has never been my cup o' tea. I have always been a one-man woman. Mr. Gray was like you until his A. A one-woman man.

HA! (the jerk)

There are some people around here, well, some of them are dead now but there are a few of that old crowd left. They used to do that spouse-swapping thing. I was a little kid and I knew these people but I didn't find out about that sordid stuff 'til later. Some of their children even have some questionable ancestry now. Ugh! eeeeew!

While my DH and I were separated an older couple approached him at a club. The husband told my DH that he wanted to "buy" DH for his wife's birthday. That was too weird for my DH even as far gone as he was at the time. Yuck!!

Never understood why people wanted to be married and philander. Sort of defeats the concept of marriage I guess.

I'd like my GF back please. funny thing she was so anti-A saying things like I cant' see movies with a certain actress because she broke up so and so's marriage.

Oops <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Oh, I SO agree, 411! Mr. Gray was the same way! He couldn't stand cheating and philandering in others. Whether in real life or movies and TV.

He always spoke of them with nothing but scorn and dumped a guy friend of his forever because he was such a cad.

I'm like that, too. It's hard to watch anything with people who've had an illicit affair. There are so many, you almost can't watch anything!!

I'm still p.o.'ed at Burt Reynolds because of what he did to Loni Anderson. I never liked Tom Cruise and I disliked him even more after what he did to Nicole.

Those are only two. I'll leave it at that! The list would go on forever! Yeah, Brad Armpit and Angelina Holey, too.

has been fed by those academy award winning movies like the English patient.

Certainly it seems we need an anti-adultery docu drama to show people how much they screw people's lives over.

I should have known when my WxGF was watching The Lives of Others she was using it to justify her affair.

This type of thing makes me want to write a movie to show the pain and despair it causes everyone involved.

One would think looking at the people on the Jerry Springer show would work but since most are so close to the lunatic fringe no one looks too closely at the effects and they down play the effects as only those that effect those "lowert class folks".

to that I say BS!

You're right, 411.

I have never seen The English Patient and now I know I won't!

Really, this needs to be addressed. Someone needs to have the guts to go for it and expose adultery for the ugly, nasty monster that it is.

Agreed as to Jerry Springer. I'd love to get them to call OW, though. OWH told me that that's her greatest fear! Just for them to call her and scare the s**t out of her would make my day! And put pressure on the A!
