You guys have got something here [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>I'd like to do a couple of chapters:<P>"The 500 Last Straws"<P>"Silence: The Irrefutable Argument"<P>"Let's Pretend: Revisionist History"<P>"Thinking Stinks, Just do it!"<P>Those certainly won't be as funny as the chapters on Alien abduction and brain worms, but they might be worth including.

Wait, wait, wait. Has the editor closed the table of contents yet?<P>I want to add a few chapters:<P>1. 50 ways to leave your lover (is that plagiarizing?)<BR>2. OPs/WSs and their comical incidents - real life stories<BR> from the fog<BR>3. Special WS foghead dictionary<BR>4. Comments from the FOG<BR>5. The "I'm not having an affair" - affair syndrome<P><BR>Request that this publication be translated into WS both the written and the sign language. Maybe a second translation for those OPs who just don't get it. You know like the 'stubborn' addition. <P>You can advertise this new publication with a banner on gloryb.com?<P>L.

This just keeps getting better!<P>How about a chapter called: "You might be a dummy if you believe your lover when he/she tells you:<P>"What a good person you are (really, you *are* having an affair)<P>"I care about you deeply and only want what's best for you."<BR>(oh, so that's why you are involved in something that you know will cause pain and misery when you are found out.)<P>"My only hope is that in what little time we have together, I can make you truly happy." (I've always thought that lies, deception and hypocrisy were the prime ingredients for happiness.) <P>I love you and would give anything to change things so I could have you in my arms every night, but my wife would take me for half of what I have if I divorced her. (Um, that is, you'd give anything except half of what you have.)<P>Those are real lines from emails sent to my WS by OP. There's tons more like those. <P>Please everyone, keep posting chapters. This thread has been some of the best therapy I've had in a long time.<P>Ish
