@Kettricken -- yeah, Miss Someone is a non-starter there for an infinity of reasons. As for the rest, I think I'm going to join the Daisies. With Girl-Child, that is <:D
@hoosiermama -- best outcome from my POV would be for STBXMRSSP to do a little DB'ing and DB herself into a Motherhood-180.
Caught some of "The Odd Couple" on the teevee while ignoring a conference call (can't believe how useful the occasional "uh-huh" and "would you repeat that?" can be!), and this chestnut had me on the floor:
Blanche used to say to me, "What time do you want dinner?" I'd say "I dunno, I'm not hungry." Then, 3 o'clock in the morning, I'd wake her up and say, "Now!" I've been one of the highest-paid sports writers in the east for the past 14 years -- we saved $ 8-1/2 in pennies. I'm never home, I gamble, burn cigar holes in furniture, drink like a fish, lie to her every chance I get. Then, for our 10th wedding anniversary, I took her to the New York Rangers-Detroit Red Wings hockey game where she got hit by a puck! And I still can't figure out why she left me -- that's how impossible I am.
