Just to clarify her remark (I guess I did not express myself well). One of the things she told me is to pickup a magazine that she has an article in. So I asked why, do you talk about me? Just making some dumb jokes. Another dumb joke was that I would put it in my magazine rack next to the ivory tower (toilet). It is then that she said that my NGF would probably not like that because there are several nice pictures of her that I will like. Not sure what that means because i did not get the magazine. So there is the clarification. I am not sure that life sucks for her. She just likes to share some of her "stuff" sometimes with someone who has supported her in the past. Little shopping spree went well...girls had a good time and I did my best to stay out of their way. Today, i am invited to stepdaughter's (ex)house for supper. I think I will invite her over instead....they are struggling financially I am sure. Tommorow, NGF and I have taken the day off and will head down to Saratoga NY to watch the ponies run (her D and D8 are tagging along). Her son has decided to pass....he said as he exhaled with relief.
