My husband had called me a week or so ago, didn't leave a message, and I did not call him back. Today he called me at work and left a message for me to call him back. I wasn't going to call him, but he then called while I was in the office and I did not want to involve any of my co-workers - so I spoke to him.<P>He wanted my SSN for his taxes (or so he said) and asked me about how I had filed in previous years online. <P>I explained it to him, and in doing so, mentioned that the only difficulty that I had ever had was in getting the online program to correctly handle my NYState retirement plan. He commented that he didn't have to worry about retirement, he didn't have any. My response was "Yeah, when you get old, you're going to be living in the street begging with a little tin cup."<P>His response was interesting: "I'll be living in the street with a tin cup pretty soon."<P>I didn't ask and he didn't elaborate. Naturally, however, my curiosity is up. Is he trying to tell me that it will cost him a lot of money to divorce me, move, go to school? All of the above? I guess I have to just let it go. If he is divorcing me, papers will be served soon enough. I don't really need to know ahead of time.<P>Just a tiny update from my corner of the world...<P>------------------<BR>terri<BR><B>Courage</B><P>Whatever course you decide upon,<BR>there is always someone to tell you<BR>that you are wrong.<P>There are always difficulties arising<BR>which tempt you to believe that your <BR>critics are right.<P>To map out a course of action <BR>and follow it to an end <BR>requires courage.<P><I>Ralph Waldo Emerson</I>

terri,<P>at least it won't be you on the street with the tin cup. <P>hate that you think you might get papers. do you think our WS do it to be cruel or they just don't have a clue?<P>just thinking about you.

Maybe...things aren't so good living with the slug & her Mamaslug?<P>Always hopeful,<BR>Lor

This is exactly the reason that I avoid panhandlers...<P>
