That does seem a bit excessive, doesn't it? Put it with a court date and he's probably trying to get a litte relief from his self-imposed affliction.

Trying to nail down exactly why a wayward is doing one of the senseless things they're doing is like trying to figure out why one hemorrhoid is bigger than the other one.

Hi Neak,

Thank you.

Yeah, it does. I agree--it could very well just be the looming court date.

And you're right... about the hemorrhoids.







I'll file it away and not think about it. We'll see if he keeps it up, LOL!!

I sent him several pictures from the wedding that had DGS in them...and ODS and DIL, too. DGS is SOOOOOOOOO CUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!

A wayward, typified as an enlarged hemorrhiod.....

yep, I can go with that

Love the hemorroid analogy!

BTW, my WstbxH called last week asking about my freezer. He asked if I wasn't using it could he have it for his work??!!! Completely bizarre, I tell you. Waywards and hemorroids - who needs them!

Dancing Lady~~~~~~WHERE ARE YOU!!!!

Yeah Charlotte, where are you. I can usually count on you and Cinder cruising the board with me on weekends.

Oh my gosh, I hope that has nothing to do with having a life...

Or Not.

LOL!! Yeah, I hear that!!

Freaky deaky!!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww........ ..............I'm flattered as all get out that you were looking for me!!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww...........!!!

Charlotte

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....... .......same as above....flattered as all get out!!!

Well, I never heard anything from Gray after the last email. He never said thank you for the photos (no surprise there!)--I guess he couldn't handle the hard questions I asked him...like:

Can I have the pictures of me that you had all over the walls in your office if you haven't thrown them out?

AND...

Are you going to file the 2007 taxes?

He claims that he mailed the other forms late...the ones I signed at Shiny's on May 22? On our 15th anniversary? Before the concert where we ran into OWH?

Yeah--mailed them late. Could mean anything. Like a couple of months ago or even yesterday.

And I tried to look them up at the IRS site--no luck.

So anyhoo...I sent him an email yesterday asking what happened and haven't received a reply as of yet. I don't even care. LOL!!

In other news:

The photo shoot went GREAT!!! I didn't even have to twist Shiny's arm that hard!! LOL!! He was a good boy. LOL!!

I had them developed after I returned home...and...PHEW!! When I went to pick them up and the chick behind the counter pulled them out to show me...I about fell over!!

Then I told him....yeah...I'm selling these to GQ!! Don't worry, you'll get your share and we'll get residuals, too!! WOOOO!!!

They really turned out great!! I did have to do some editing on a couple of them because he had a couple of stray hairs that fell onto his forehead. And darken the background a bit so they'll look good online. But yeah!! They're GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!!! LOL!

And I'm not charging, either. It will make me feel a LITTLE better about my ridiculously low bill from him. All I want is a photo credit. Okay and I'll accept lunch, maybe. And he can come and help me fix my roof. LOL! That's all!!



I am starting the 2nd semester at the school tomorrow. And we are going to do some actual cooking!! WOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! The hardest part will be to go in with a blank slate--erase everything I already know so I can learn their way. This class is going to deal with the basics: slicing and dicing, circumcizing.....sauces and gravies and glazes....OH MY!!!

Charlotte

School was mighty interesting this week. We were in the lab/kitchen for the first time. We went over our course syllabus for the 11 week semester. It included the menu for each week.

Yeah, Shiny's gonna be one happy camper in a few weeks!! And then he'll be eating healthy at least some of the time and not eating out all the time. Though he does try to keep it healthy, that's just not an easy thing when you are eating out.

I had a class on Thursday night and the Chef that teaches it is hilarious. It is all about concepts and techniques in cooking. It's not a lab class, though.

She had a different way of having us introduce ourselves. She said, "Okay, you are a bag of food. Please tell me what is in your bag. And make me have an ***asm!!!"

HilARious!!

But she's right! Food can! Just about. Man, it's SO great to be around so many food lovers!! Where the h*ll have I been? LOL!! (Okay, yeah, my family loves food, but you know what I mean.)

Ooh!! There were actually a couple of cute guys in class, too! I can look now, if I want to. I never used to before when I was with Gray.

Yeah, one guy was dark hair and dark eyes and wore a fedora. LOL! Another was kind of a reddish guy and he had a ponytail. He has Lithuanian heritage.

It was a fun class. Lots of us in there, too!

That was Thursday...of course there was a bit of excitement before class because I had this thing I had to give Shiny and I showed it to T and Baby Attorney before I gave it to Shiny.

Then Baby Attorney gets all wild and flirts with me. LOLOLOLOL!!



Yeah, it was pretty funny!! And Shiny liked his thing. I made him a magazine cover because of all the teasing about his picture and the GQ cover. But it was a faux Time magazine, "Man of the Year,"--(LMAO!!)--instead of GQ because the template looked better.

He goes, "I wanna be "Man of the Century!!!"



Such a character!!

Gray doesn't stand a CHANCE!! Gray has NO IDEA that he is "graymeat!" After 3 times in court already, you would think he would know better than to mess with Shiny. But NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Yeah, and whenever, IF ever, I decide to date again, all of my dates have to be Shiny approved. All I have to do is put them in about 10 minutes with Shiny and he will have the answer for me. He's really good at reading people. Better than most anyone I know or have known. Some of it comes with the territory, sure. But a lot of it is just natural.

So Gray can spout on and on about making it easier when we go to court...that is just so ludicrous!! LOL!! I need to put a copy of that post here for posterity!!



He is SO gonna miss out!! When I open my restaurant, not only am I going to be the chef, but also the entertainment!! Belly dancing!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!



Charlotte

OMG!
I love it!!!!!!!!!

Here's the new news:

We have mediation scheduled for December 11th at Shiny's office. YAY!! Home team advantage!!!

I'm surprised they agreed to Shiny's usual mediator but they did. He charges $200 per side for 4 hours, so that's pretty good.

Also, I should know by 5pm what date we are going back to court to see if the judge will extend spousal support one more time. It runs out this month. PL-T is working on that right now.

I had to send her the dates Gray was here for inventory. Easy, Weezy!! I just checked the email archives for Shiny reports and also here since I blared it all over for the world to know! LOL!

OWH is due for a hearing on his support soon. He had an encounter with "THEM!" (no, not the giant ants!) the other night. You would think in a place as big as Houston these things wouldn't happen but dang if it didn't!!

Hmmm.....coincidence? I think not!!

He was pretty upset about it so we talked a while. Then he called me back later. He said he felt better. I sure hope so!!

Well, gotta get ready for class.

Have a great day, All!

Charlotte

That is VERY good compared to Dallas rates!

Is Shiny married?

I've been wondering what was up and how you are.

Hey! Thanks for checkin' in on me, y'all!

Just a quickie...'cause I have a TON of homework!!!!!!!! LOL! At MY age, imagine that! A lil' ol' lady with homework!!

Anyway--the hearing for the motion to extend spousal support is November 19. Two days shy of a year since the temp hearing!! Wow! Sure doesn't feel like it!!

Gray also got a reminder to deposit November 1st's spousal support check, since he hasn't done so yet. I need to go check and see if he has since the fax went over to Palpitine's this a.m. No time all day to check...HOMEWORK!! TONS of homework!!!

TTFN!!

Charlotte

Well, we dodged a bullet. Shiny filed a Rule 11 because Palpitine called and said Gray agreed to continue support through December. This call came in last week.

Okay, that's good...but there's this leetle problem...

Gray still hasn't put the support check in that was due on the 1st. I told Shiny that I broke the camel's back and that's why he hasn't put it in.

Why? Because I am friends with his MORTAL ENEMY!!! The EX!! The FIRST ex, that is!! LOL!!

I talked to OWH--Slag hasn't sent his check either.

Hmmmmm....conspiracy maybe?

Maybe they blew all of their dough on another trip to Vegas? Which crossed my mind and then Shiny brought THAT up so I said, "Everybody gets to go to Vegas but me!! No fair!!!" LOL!!

It doesn't bother me but OWH is still pretty livid about it. He's also still livid about the run-in he had with "THEM!!" on the night of the Cheech & Chong reunion.

So that's where we are now. No hearing on the 19th but if this keeps up someone's butt is going to end up dragged into court on a contempt charge!!

to be continued.....

I can hear the scraping sounds already!
