Oh!, forgots the latest dirt! Seems my x1 has applied for a job where my x2 works. I reminded x1 of same, dead silence on the phone, and then "oh, yeah, that... well...erm...cr@p!"
My x1 concluded on her own years ago (without my assistance whatsoever) that x2 was "crazy" and told x2 not to leave me as "that's the best thing you'll ever have in your life" (when x1 was having one of her few lucid moments).
Oh, this should be fun!fun!fun! Way tooooo bad I've got an out of town travel schedule to keep. Had I only know earlier ...
