Outrageous. This decision is under appeal and I suspect it will be overturned. This man was accused of domestic violence last year and exonerated. However, a domestic TRO was issued as a result. The guy made a generic statement about the unfairness of the court system that allows a woman to take away a child with an unproven claim of abuse. His wife was BLOCKED from his FB, yet when she heard about his post, she ran to the Court claiming he violated the TRO. Say what??

The Judge ordered him to publish a court-approved public apology for 30 days on his FB wall.

The guy is easy to find on Facebook and is sharing his side of things. He recently put up a video where his FIL is supervising visitation and he terminated the visit claiming the father was drinking hot coffee. It's all on the tape. Craziness.

We don't have the whole story and the case records are locked up tight now. I wonder if infidelity played any part on either side. Who know what's going on. My interest is that a Judge can even do this. Free speech and all that. The guys statement was not threatening or directed specifically at his wife. I have a feeling this case will impact a lot of people.

Here's a link to one of the stories.

I have been considering founding a "retreat" boot-camp for WHs who cannot get with the program. I think the perfect spot would be this lovely lake in Illinois!

I'd like to send my XWW there, let's not leave out the WW's or XWW's from this opportunity.

While I realize she doesn't have the er, equipment, maybe they eat other fleshy items wink

So, bride and I spent our annual sojourn on St. Maarten last week, and driving through Marigot on the French side I discovered the long-lost hideout for all those never-reformed WWs that we have (not) missed by their absence:

(As an aside, the lady pictured is not necessarily a WW; hers is the iconic image for the renowned "Presidente" beer brand.)

Anyway, back on the Dutch side, we took a ride down a fairly new road, all built with government funds on landfill extending into the Salt Pond. As we entered the road, the University of St Maarten was on our right, and the main government offices directly across on our left. Next on the right came the new athletic stadium, and a well-lit baseball complex. Directly across from that, and adjacent to the governmental office property....was "Le Petit Chateau", the largest legal brothel on the island!

I was crushed, certain that there was no longer any decency to be found! I was looking for a sign that there remained some morality on the island, and was still in a funk when my bride found the following bistro for lunch:

NG - I nearly split my sides laughing at your post! Only the irrepressible NG could have stumbled across those two signs in the first place, and then made the connections to Marriage Builders!

I'm so glad that my name did not appear next to the skanky sign...phew!

Did you eat there? What did you have? Was it good? The menu doesn't look very Caribbean, or French or Dutch!

I've just looked up the island's biography. What an interesting political entity it is. As a Brit I've barely been aware of it's existence, for the obvious reason that we tend to stay connected to the former British islands. Is this a popular destination for Americans, or is it a little hideaway that you and Mrs NG keep to yourselves?

We did not partake of the fare at either establishment, SC.

Sint Maarten/St. Martin is the smallest landmass in the world split between two governmental units. It is a very big vacation destination for Americans, and Europeans (French and Dutch, obviously).

We love it there, and own timeshares in two connecting units for the same week, and have returned for well over ten years now.

After d-night, I got down on one knee (at my age!) on what I took to be a sheltered portion of beach in Grand Case, and re-proposed marriage to my bride. After she said "yes", we discovered (by the ensuing cheers!) we had been watched by an entire restaurant clientele from a dimly-lit deck.

It hurts, which is a good thing, because at my age what ain't hurting, ain't working!

As for the specific number, let's just say...advanced!
