Time flies when you're having fun
This has been a quick year, or is that only me? Just saw a post on FB which says2 more Fridays to Halloween
5 more Fridays to Thanksgiving
10 more Fridays to Christmas
11 more Fridays to 2017.
Eek.
23 more Fridays before my life as it is now changes forever - my company is closing its Scottish office and I will be surplus to requirements.
1 more Friday until I know all the details for one option open to me - relocating to the English head-office 400 miles away.
So strange to be at a point where different futures lie ahead and I haven't a clue, right now, until Friday, what ANY of them will be. At least on Friday I will know the details for one.
Sure, everything could change in a heartbeat, the world as we know it could be turned upside down tomorrow for one of us, or some of us, or all of us. At least I know what's coming up. Unless everything changes!
No stress. Ommmmmmmmmm. But saying right now if I am tetchy at times during this period of upheaval, I am apologizing in advance.

uncertainty isn't good.
Do you want to relocate or get redundancy and a job with another local company?
New location...new home...job.....
Your tetchiness will be forgiven. I sincerely hope that everything pans out after the Friday you dread most
You have time from what I'm getting - even if you tell them you would consider relocating, you can keep looking and if you get something else, take that.
You have a quite big city nearby - I couldn't face relocating again. If you like it where you are, a new job is less hassle than a new house.
Good advice, though
It was an amazing year....2017....no plans.....
But the man that Z mentioned is 70. Unless he has been very virile of late, I am sure he has no toddlers!
May Things Work Out In Your Favor... .
Is it possible that his wife always was a housewife and never had a job? Then she is financially dependent on him.
These days most women had a job before they get kids and if the kid goes to a creche or school, there is time for a job.
If 2 people decided they want a big family and the wife to stay at home with 4 kids+, I'm not sure how this can be managed if she working (childcare alone would cost a ton of money).
If they have been married very short and it's only 1 child, I don't see how someone should pay indefinitely for a marriage of 1, 2 or 3 years.
My mother worked before she got married and then (had to) gave it up when married.
She was around when we were little, but as we got older, she took on part-time work to earn some extra cash, and to keep her brain occupied as well.
There is no reason why others could not do the same. In western countries, people are only dependent if they make themselves dependent.
No reason for me to marry if I don't want kids and would sign a paper to get me out of the new cohabiting laws. I'm there in every way for someone I'm with, but I'm not intending in financing someone when it's over - and not looking for money.
Yeahhhh! Shiiit Happen ...
My Neighbor Found Out That I Was Using Their Wi-Fi. So! They Changed The Code. And Guess What Happen?!
I Put Up A New Wire In My Window.
That's What Wireless Mean ....
I do know he has suggested several suitable new candidates for wife to marry, no luck so far
What is it about marriage which attracts people to do it over and over again?
if you keep doing the same thing over and over without changing anything, you are going to get the same result.
Well anyway, this fella's problem is he can't keep it in his pants once he gets married. For some reason his wives don't like this, hence another divorce.
I have no idea how many ex-wives he is still paying. He has been married 5 times and counting...
I've told him either stop getting married or keep it in his pants , but I have the feeling that he won't take my advise on either count
Maybe there should always be a 3rd party in a marriage - the pot holder.
An independent person/institution to which a percentage is paid during the marriage, and then distributes it evenly in the event of divorce.
Obviously if death comes first, one person gets everything
'Cause if you liked it, then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
Or have you started writing your new book from which I am getting royalties?
Hands off my royalties, missy, I shall need them. However, I'll definitely suggest you in the starring role for the film rights, any preferences for leading man?
I'm seeing it as a very arty film. Probably a bit, well, blurry ...
can have two follow volumes now.
enough material in this site to warrant it.
England?
Take care.
