PEACHY:

On the money with the "family snapshot" thing. Also, a bit of "the way we were" wistful sentimentality, to be honest. If you check out the posts in the new thread, you'll see.
Keep us on the back-burner? Definitely. Now that she's satisfied I still have the hots for her, she'll leave me alone, at least for a while. She's happy that I am single, mourning her, and a father to her kids. She's single, partying, and still has a husband. (that is, in all aspects, except we don't live or sleep together). She's in for a wake-up.

She called AGAIN, to say kids have no clean clothes, she did no washing over the week-end, so if I take them out today, they can't sleep at my place. She then asks how I am. I say fine.OK. She apologises AGAIN. Then in the next breath asks..."listen I just want to know, are you still going to be helping me out with my debt...?". I had promised to help her out on a huge clothing debt she had manged to build up, and was crippling her financially. I was just flabbergasted. I told her we could discuss that some other time. How INSENSITIVE! I'm reconsidering seriously. I HATE to go back on my word, but I also hate feeling used. I've already given her a large some of money for other debt, and paid half her attorney's fees.
She's just called now again, while I'm typing this, and said that she won't be bothering me again, I should call her when I'm ready to talk. Great. Some breathing space.

The CAKE story- talk about extending the metaphor! I enjoyed it- even if the history was a bit skewed: thanks for the corrections, Chris!

Ezra:
You can still post, I won't bite, promise. Your response was obviously made from the incorrect premise.
