RE: She got busted BIG TIME!!

I am happy for you. You saved yourself.

RE: American Enlish versus British English

American English is truly twisted, distorted and diluted when it comes to slang.

RE: my phone call

Aw, that is great. I hope your conversation is enjoyable. :)

RE: To love, honor and OBEY???

In my first marriage it was I am the husband and you will do as I say. I wear the pants in this family. She wore pants, too. That was very short lived. It gets lonely playing God. Then she got mad at her for wearing her pants. We were almost the same size.
In my second marriage to her it was exactly the opposite. Why can't you be the boss? Her complaint was that I didn't back her up. I thought she was doing just fine. Then she got real bossy. I begin to tell her that she wasn't my boss. The nobody was the boss because we had a wonderful divorce.

RE: The wonderfully horribally long weekend, prayers would be appreciated!

I am just glad you are alive. The car can be replaced.

RE: What Language Are Men Speaking???

I would rather be asked do you want to screw rather than to be told to go screw yourself but that is just my opinion.

RE: What Language Are Men Speaking???

I loved reading that book and got to see the video, too. He is right on the part that men go to their caves. It is a great book and explains so much.

RE: 3D ultra sound and video.

Sounds like you are a happy grandma, already.

RE: Spider

Growing up our chickens loved spiders. Eight chickens and one tarantula. They must have thought they were hairy worms.

RE: Dog's Diary vs. Cat's Diary

This made me thing of Garfield and Opie.

RE: My Lune-A-See

I enjoyed reading that. It was interesting and oh what a trip.

RE: Happy Birthday Bill.....

Happy late birthday, Bill.

RE: Custody stratagy or advise......anyone?

My stragedy was that she was a better parent than me so I paid child support. I went to the department of human services Friday and my back support child support owed is shown on their records as ZERO.

RE: Science...or...God???

I was wanting to get a good book from the library. I miss reading. Did you enjoy reading it? I want to reread some of Ayn Rand's books. I really enjoyed her view on a lot of things.

RE: Science...or...God???

In child psychology we learn that a baby is a scientist. He discovers the world and all its mysteries. It is so awesome to watch a child learn. He tries to put everything into his mouth, lol.

RE: Science...or...God???

I have got help from people who don't believe in God and I have got help from people that do.

The truth is out there. X Files

RE: Political Correctness

There are so many good ones. I like the ones with the fishes, but then there are the ritzes and saltines taste good. I can't understand how someone would like crackers without them being seasoned. Yuck, lol.

RE: Science...or...God???

It is easier to explain the known than the unknown because the known has less variables. A known value has the ability to be proven true or false but both can have skeptics. Anything can be doubted. Nothing has to be proven.

RE: illegal immigration

Good point, Cat. There is the over population factor, too, concerning illegal immigrants. Census records help in figuring many things. Like disease control, school class sizes, taxes and jeez the list just goes on.

RE: AM I CRAZY!!???

I don't think it wasn't meant to hurt now. It just remembering her. I don't want to forget her but moving on is a real thing I have to deal with. I have friends and we do our work study book together on Sundays. We get to watch the videos and fill in together with the work book at our griefshare meetings. We share the common traumas together. We try to prepare for when someone new comes in so that we can help them. Grief does some weird stuff to the human mind.

RE: AM I CRAZY!!???

Yes to both. To me it was like a part of me died when she died. We were very happily married. She was my rock. I was devistated. I had to grow up and be in this world without her. She had done so much. I just went to work and earned a living. She had tried to wean me off her by making me do things with her that needed to be done. I had to learn how to get tough, again. I had to learn how to pay bills. I had to learn how to manage a check book. I had to leanr how to feed myself. I had to leanr how to clean up after myself. I had to learn how to make friends, again. I had to learn how to live in the real world, again. I had to learn how to get stable and be responsible, again. I had to learn how to buy groceries. I had to learn how to make sure there was gas in the tank. I had to learn how to cope without her. Her last words were, "You will be better off without me." That is the cruelest thing I ever have heard in my life.

RE: Political Correctness

I think the world has gone crackers that is why I am stocking up on peanut butter. I am thinking of putting bars on the windows in case Polly comes by. If Polly wants a cracker then Polly can go some where else. Desensitivation can be helpful because if you have to pick and choose each word you say or type then forget about trying to have a conversation or try to communicate with someone. In the real world you can get your toes stepped on and get the ego deflated from your ego to help you become human, again. False pride, false courage and false anything is simply not true. One has to simply dust one's self off after getting knocked down and to learn to roll with the punches.

RE: AM I CRAZY!!???

No there is nothing wrong with you for wanting to hold onto to memories of the past. We do have to move forward, though. I let my deceased wife angels go except the angel on unicorn which is by my headboard. I kept her one Neil Diamond shirt but donated the rest of her clothes to the church. Her daughter has been at me for the mother's birthstone ring which had all the kids birthstones in it. I have searched the house over and even had help but could not find it. I tried to open one suitcase with the love letters but slammed it down when I seen one. I couldn't read it any ways because I was crying to hard but some pictures in another suitcase I managed to go through. It has been one year and three months since her passing. It is good on the days that I can keep it together. The physical pain has abated except when someone asks me if I am married. I took the marriage license down and it is packed away now. The picture of us is on the television. The griefshare lady that leads our meetings told me that one day I could look at without it hurting so bad. I can do that today and remember the good times. If her kids want something that belong to her they can damn well come down and get it. Sorry I just went up there recently to hug her sister. I couldn't find her grave but I forgot how to get there but I got some closure. I focus on the positive or what we call the dash in the dash news letter that you can get online. The dash represents the time they were alive after the birth date on the tombstone.

RE: illegal immigration

In one town across the border, Warez, they became smart. The American government was shipping aid to help the poor. This one store there was selling the stuff back to the tourists as they went back into America at a reduced price. No cost for product, low markup and low overhead. Hurray for free enterprise.

You were right about it. I didn't question that fact but now I know what to do when I get a green box. I guess it really isn't that easy being green like Kermit the frog says.
