Hi all,

It's been another chunk of time since I last posted. Reason being is that I didn't have anything to post about, per se. Been keeping busy with GAL and work mostly.

XW popped onto the radar screen this morning in the form of an email:

[Jimbo],

I hope you are well. I found some of your cards along with mine, such as your [Masonic] lodge lifetime membership and some other business cards that you may want. I've also realized that I don't have my birth certificate or Social Security card. I am applying to Graphic Design school and they need a copy of my birth certificate. Could you see if they're still in the blue "important papers" folder in the second drawer of the rolltop desk? I'm willing to come to your office to pick them up if that works for you. Not to push but sooner rather than later would be good - I'm trying to get my ducks in a row to start classes at the end of this month.

Thanks a bunch,
[XW]

Nice of her to do me a favor by returning my precious business cards that I didn't even know I was missing, and a dues card I already have, eh? smirk

I was wondering when she'd notice she was missing her birth cert and SS card...

Why the bit about returning business cards? Why not just say that she needs to get her personal papers?

Why am I still even asking?

I'm sure that the graphic design school must be a BS excuse- Don't get me wrong...I don't doubt that she wants to go to school. (She told me as much last time we met, but it wasn't for graphic design.) But I have NEVER needed a birth certificate to apply to any of the schools I've attended. The only times I ever needed a birth certificate was when I got my driver's license, my passport, and when I got married.

My XW already has her driver's license and passport.

I guess she has finally decided to carry out her plans to tie the knot with the OM.

Just another stake in the heart. This truly sucks in epic proportion and really hurts.
