Well, here is a sign of making progress:

I now have the silly bi**h's debit card!

You will all remember how I came home one night some months ago and had a letter from the bank addressed to the OW to my house.

I got sloppy drunk, wept, wailed, posted on this board. I was devastated.

I just got home now. Was in a pretty good mood, until I threw a snowball at the house, just for fun. Then I started thinking about how we had the house painted last summer...joking with the painter in the morning, being proud of making this good investment in our home, standing staunchly by our mutual decision that pink IS a good color for the house...and all the while he was sc*%^ing her.

I got angry and was calling him names as I reached to get the mail.

And there, oh friends, was another letter to her from the bank. With her debit card in it.

Aw, gee, it seems her current card will expire on 2/15. She better buy him those Valentine's presents now!

I can activate the card at any time just by calling that 1-800 #. Seems I could get more than just a blouse in the next 24 hours if I wanted!

Now, no, I wouldn't really steal a credit card number. Don't need to add jail to my troubles.

And I think I will follow the advice this wise board gave last time: just put it in the mail with: not at this address.

But I think I will wait until after 2/15 to do so...

And I while I am upset, I only wailed a few minutes. I am upset, but I am ANGRY this time. And on the whole, I'm pretty calm.

So is that progress, or what!

Two pieces of advice needed:

do I write: DECEASED. RETURN TO SENDER on the envelope?

do I email him: please tell OW I do not expect to receive any more mail addressed to her.

But that will give her the head's up to go looking for her debit card...and I'd rather she was a bit inconvenienced for a few days.

What say?
