Wow Chrisner....an MB anniversary and a birthday for you AND DD....all in the space of a few weeks!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Congratulations and Happy Birthday!!! Now..... if I can just find that cake I baked for Pep....hmmmmmmm...can't remember where it is/was. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Thanks for the thoughts. 47 years young today! Please have some cake before it disappears tomorrow.
DD20 and I had a wonderful Christmas holiday. I never thought that would be possible a few months ago. We had dinners both in and out with new friends, had a great visit with my sister and BIL, saw the theatre version of White Christmas, took a long walk Christmas night in 6” of new snow, watched movies and kept the fire going all day. Oh yeah, and ate too much.
DD gave me a Christmas card with a one page thank you letter in it that took me three readings to get through with dry eyes. Well maybe only moist eyes.
DD spent a few hours Christmas Eve at XMIL’s with all of their family and her mom (no Gollum?? In fact it seems she never saw him at all during the holiday ???? What’s up Soul Mates???). Her mom pushed hard to get her to stay with her at Bulldozer Barn for Christmas Day, but DD refused and came home. So Wayzilla was the one to wake up alone on Christmas Day. Probably not part of the master plan.
Idiot XBIL’s ex-wife dropped her three boys off at XMIL’s Christmas Eve but did not go in. When DD heard she was there she ran out to give her a big hug. That got the whole family to go out and say hello to her with the notable exception of Idiot XBIL and Wayzilla. Feeling guilty about something? DD said XSIL has lost a lot of weight, looked great and was dressed sharp. Another BS recovery well underway.
And now a few minutes ago while I was writing this I get a little Happy Birthday email from…….Wayzilla? Huh??? Probably just another Plan B probe and de-guiltifier. I think I will respond with……..nothing. Nothing at all.
All’s good here on the dark side of Pluto. Happy New Years all you MBers! And to all the newly betrayed who are likely having the hardest holidays of their lives, it will get better. It really will.
Testosterone boys! Testosterone! It aint just for nose, ear and back hair anymore!

That DD - we've said it before, but I'll say it again, she's a keeper.
Sounds like you had a great Christmas - good for you!
B-Day email from Wayzilla, huh? They are wacky, those waywards.

Happy Birthday to one of my favorite and wittiest posters!! I still think your wife was crazy to give up all the laughter you bring to the table! hugs to you and dd.
I'm a little late I guess, but wanted to wish you a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chrisner!
And the e-mail? Possibly trying to worm her way back in? Doesn't sound like she had a very merry Christmas. Sounds like her and Gollum's luv fest has taken a dive.
BTW.....watched part of "Lord of the Rings" tonight and I STILL cannot even hardly look at Gollum! He is just sooooo gross! All I could think about was Wayzilla when I saw him.....lol.....
I saw this on another thread and thought it was sooo funny...."You can't fix stupid". That was quoted by someone's Mom. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Husband was unfaithful to me before and after our marriage, at least 7 times. I found out 13 yrs into the marriage. Trickle truth for an entire year. Several different d-days, so it was more like a d-year. Difficult recovery.
Belated Happy Birthday my friend! Sorry I missed posting on the actual day!
Your DD is just so amazing! I am so, so , so happy you have such a wonderful relationship with her. I teared up just reading about YOU tearing up!!
You are right about the TM. Trying to lessen her own guilt,,,,,probing out there to see if there's a hole in which to stick one of those long, nasty claws. You responded PERFECTLY.

Thanks for this. I love how you take a thread meant to express well wishes and support to you and you are STILL giving back to everyone else. Wayzilla made the biggest mistake of her life letting you get away!
Tiny TJ - - Mopey, it was my Mom that I quoted as saying "You can't fix stupid". Just one of her many great little phrases!! Glad you enjoyed it! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
