I'll party for you tal, of course, and raise a glass to you.
This will be the first year when I won't have all my kids with me at midnight. My eldest two are at other parties - it makes me feel sad - I like to have all my chicks around me to welcome in the new year. I guess it's the dawn of a new era for me. Wish I could be with all you lot.
Here's hoping that in 2008 I get to meet some of you That would make my year.
I second that toast to the new year. Here's hoping for a better year in 2008, whichever way the chips fall. It makes me feel good knowing that there are so many caring individuals on this board and I hope things work out for you all.
I just realized this morning that this will be the first time in 17 yrs that I will not watching the ball drop with my wife. Time to embrace the change.
husband - I am the designated driver tonight so my only sip of alcohol will be my toast to you guys and my other friends and family. To be honest I haven't felt much like drinking since H's Xmas do - wonder why?
tal - H, I and the other two kids are going to a friends house to play board games and also play on the Wii. Shouldn't be too rowdy but the company will be good. WE went to the same friends place last year but there was a whole crowd of us there that time, including a lady who had just come out of hospital after a bad fall. She had her pelvis and leg pinned. My eldest D got a bit merry and started doing laps of the dining room this poor woman was in - I held my breath as I could just see my eldest D falling on this poor lady. Luckily that didn't happen as I managed to grab my D on one of her circuits of the room !!!!!! That particular D is normally very quiet - we were all amazed at her behaviour!!!!!! I guess she has the nickname one can Kathryn for a reason!!!!!

I stand corrected,,oey! I thought my source was reliable, I am ashamed!

And since you guys are Queen buffs,,do you know anything about a band called "Marillion"?
As far as Buckeyes go,,surprise there! So Mark, I take it you will be rooting for LSU on the 7th??
Happy New Year guys!! Love, Kim

Well, according to wikipedia, Curry's father, James, was a Methodist Royal Navy chaplain, and his mother, Patricia, was a school secretary.
Here are the wikipedia links for the two guys (birthdays are there):
I have heard of Marillion but can't tell you a lot about it off the top of my head. My H would be able to so I will ask him and post on it when I get better info!!!

Just got an email from my wife's boyfriend's wife. She has been snooping again. She told me that my wife and her husband never broke up... it was just a temporary skirmish.
Also told me that the in-laws that I thought were on the side of marriage are, in fact, not. They are conspiring with her to facilitate the divorce. It seems that they have bought into her line of BS regarding me being an evil, awful person. They have loaned her (given her) the money for her attorney, and promised to pay her living expenses once she is rid of me.
She bought the puppy for two reasons: One, to piss me off, and two, to make me think that she is using it to assuage the pain of the break-up. She has failed on both accounts.
I have an attorney picked out, and have made an appointment to see him. I have a feeling that this is going to get ugly.
The one trump card that I have left is the kids, especially the middle one, who is very sensitive and does not handle change well. He hates it when I travel on business. So he’s not going to like the divorce thing at all. He has told us as much.
Also, I have made clear to her that, when we tell the kids we are divorcing, we will not say, "We have decided to divorce." It will be on her. In fact, I told her my line to the kids will be, “Mom is not happy, and she believes that she will be happy if she divorces me.” Her blood ran cold when I told her this. However, she knows that it's accurate. She also knows how superficial and selfish it sounds. Because it is.
Finally...I have decided that, once I have “let her go,” I will let the cat out. Everybody’s gonna know what she did. She’s not going to like that at all. But she has Shrek to help her through the tough times ahead. He listens….
Its a shame that the in laws are buying into this, but she just maybe be exagerating a bit?? I don't know just guessing that maybe what's going on. How does OM wife know all that?? Is the OM willing to give his W this information, that sounds weird to me.
Let her blood run cold for a bit, and think she needs a jump start in the a$$ personally. I totally understand your need to get angry, so get angry you have every right to be.. and im probably the wrong person to be telling this to because it it was me and I was in your position, you make damn well sure after it was over that people would know what really happend.
Im glad your seeing an attorney, I know you didn't want to file first, but at this point, I don't know how you feel about trying to fix your M.. I would just worry and you and the kids at this point.
I am sorry it had to come to this, she is very mis-guided and is very selfish person to destroy two families.
(((((hugs and strength for you)))))

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
I'm sorry that this information came forward, but sometimes I think it's best. That way we know what we're dealing with. Most details can be left alone as they're too painful, but just some basic info. helps.

T - Thanks for the support. I am not angry as much as I am hurt. I feel disrespected and rejected. And I grieve for the pain that my kids will endure.
Sue - His wife moved out. And I agree that some snooping is OK. In this instance, I was able to find out who is on my side. Also, I can begin to prepare myself emotionally and financially for the divorce.
That would make my year.
