Well, I've done about all I can here. Time to go home.

Have a great weekend all. I will try to be a little more thick skinned next week.

Sorry for the little threadjack Romeo.

Here's the link again...don't read it for me...do it for your wife, kids and even for the OW. You can save everyone IN YOUR LIFE a lot of grief by going No Contact with this woman.

31 Reasons to Stop an Affair
In case the church site is what threw you off, here is a link to the same document on the site from which it was created - affairrecovery.com - 31 Reasons - It looks like they are a counseling group in Austin, Texas.

It is copyrighted material. And the Terms of Service here indicate that certain types of links are prohibited so the mods may decide to edit, not out of malice, but out of courtesy for Dr. Harley. On the other hand, I am entranced by one quote (under fair use):

I have never seen such a jacked up thread but I had to say that this was so funny.... "Why is there braille writing at drive-up ATMs?"
" Just think, at this moment, giant centuries-old storms are raging on the planet Jupiter, oblivious to our impatience of the slow-moving line at the McDonald's Drive-Thru." "During the time of the O.J. Simpson murder trial, I heard the phrase "Save the Juice" and thought it was a motto used to encourage sexual abstinence." I liked all of the other ones as well! Sorry, had to add to this crazy thread.


So much peeling...where am I under all this peeling? Yoo-hoo, are you in there...nothing yet.

At least in the McDonalds drive-through, you might have to talk into a clown's head, but at least you can tell by the number of cars in front of you just how long it will be until you eat, as opposed to formal dining restaurants where it could be a while.

Tell them you are sorry for pursuing your "happiness" in such a horrendous, disgusting, shameful manner that jeordizes their family. Pledge to be a better man and a better father in the future.

The next step will be to work on your starving marriage to create a romantic relationship using these principles.

And no, you are not "in love" with her. Having an affair with a married woman is not "love," it is the highest form of disrespect. You have spit in her face.
and worse than spit in his wife's face.

Wonder if "noromeo" ever followed through? Sad to hear the attempt at justification of his infatuation.

I wish someone could've given this advice to my wife. I found MB a little too late. My wife had me swerved last june, and it is just a matter of time now. She is so sure her friend she met online is "the one".

I admire the advice given to him from the posters here. I don't believe he will follow it, he seemed so self-rightous in his actions so far. He did not even show any remorse for what he has done / is doing to his wife and family. I just pray that he thinks about how his kids lives will be affected.

Because I am a fount of information of the weird and useless:


"Why is there Braille writing on the drive-up ATM?"

The answer lies in economics.

There is Braille writing on ALL ATM machines. To eliminate it from those ATMs which are specifically located at drive-up locations would not be cost-efficient.

Consider the cost to manufacture keypads with and without Braille; to determine which ATMs would be located where as a final destination; the ultimate and possible relocation or re-use of keypads in repairs, or the re-ordering of keypads for repairs...and the Americans with Disabilities Act legislation that requires Braille on certain equipment.

This tells you that the only logical result is to expedite keypad and machine faces to the Braille orientation, and not worry about attempting to eliminate it at drive-up locations and having two separate systems out there.

Cheaper this way.

Ah well, it good to finally have an answer to the Braille/ATM question smile
