RE: Would anyone be interested in a get together for charity?

Stop buying so much beer, Lookin, and you might be able to make the meet!

RE: The dry oak tree...

Oh, I see...ummm...not really,... cos I can't recall ever attacking you. Have I?

RE: Keep a Member in your thoughts.

You're taking advantage of MOnte not be around. Just wait 'til she comes back. She might put you over her knee.

RE: The dry oak tree...

This seems like a sleep deprived response, but I could be wrong.





otherwise... wtf are you talking about, Lookin???

RE: Keep a Member in your thoughts.

I didn't know, vinny, so thank you for posting this.

Speedy healing, monte!



Hi Vincenzo

RE: The dry oak tree...

Some wonderful use of imagery and metaphor on the journey of healing and growth. The emerging new life full of hope is really uplifting at the close.

RE: Do you return the wedding rings upon split?

That's the spirit.

RE: Do you return the wedding rings upon split?

p.s. the adbot is right now advertising tungsten rings.

Tungsten?? Sounds not very nice. Prefer white gold or platinum.



...Hope you're all taking notes out there.

RE: Do you return the wedding rings upon split?

Thanks, I will try that when I get back to my usual computer. I am in Ceduna 'til tomorrow night and using my lil netbook, so I won't have much time 'til maybe the weekend.

RE: A logical question

Tule, you are just tooo funny. You have missed your calling, methinks!!

RE: Do you return the wedding rings upon split?

ooooh, ouch...there is something about that which I don't like.

It has a certain...ring...to it.

RE: Do you return the wedding rings upon split?

I can't believe the ad robot has wedding bands flashing on the screen!! This is worse than google ads on gmail!!!

RE: Do you return the wedding rings upon split?

It's often the way. People get greedy. If you haven't yet told her, let her know that is what you intended to do. Maybe she will do the right thing and keep them for your daughter for when she is old enough to have rings made for her. You might not be on the best of terms, communication wise right now, I have no idea. I can't imagine she would not consider turning them into something for your daughter once she knows that is your intention. But if you talk about it, it might turn out that way, especially if your daughter gets wind of it.

RE: Life Well Shared

That truly has to be the very best wedding toast ever, John!! ....Absolutely love watching it.

An example of lives extremely well shared...amongst friends and family who actually care about you.

RE: Do you return the wedding rings upon split?

I hadn't read your op prroperly as I had to leave the screen(had a client come in!lol)...

Shame that if she knew it was the custom, that she chose not to return the rings. Oh, well. I guess you can treat that as part of the property settlement. Let her have them if she so desperately wants them. No point fighting over them unless you really do want them, not just for the custom aspect. You will probably want to sell them in any case. Maybe consider deducting their cost from the overall settlement. Meantime, perhaps better to use your energy more constructively.

Site changes - (no, I am not a moderator,lol)

Hey melty!

I've seen my posts disappear, too. Once on here(I know rev didn't hide it!lol), and a few times on the Inters(but who knows what the heck goes on there!!!)

Oh, well...I guess, who really cares???

RE: Do you return the wedding rings upon split?

I bought the wedding rings and I would have been happy for him to keep his on the split. But he chose to return it to me and that felt really strange. I think I would have preferred him to keep it. I never did get an engagement ring, but designed and bought a ring for myself at the best of a dear female friend of mine way after I got married....Then one day, in one of his typical rages, he threw that ring away and I never found it again, despite scouring the (very large)garden. I was devastated as it was my own creation and a gift to myself.

Many years later, just when I thought I might melt the wedding bands down to make a brand new ring for myself, my house was broken into, with all the jewellery stolen, including those rings!...
I guess I wasn't meant to have a new ring

I have no idea of any particular custom, though. Had I been given the rings, I would have wanted to return them, unless he didn't want them back. Either way, I wouldn't be wearing them again. I doubt it will ever be an issue again though.

RE: Pretty Russian woman - multipart

It wasn't anything of any consequence. I had replied to the OP...something about if you looked closely they would be wearing high heels(in the snow)...and gabbled on from there.

But it disappeared. Gremlins!


More important...hilariously clever replies!!!

RE: gentleman and gentlewoman
