Yankees! Never seen them live, in action! I am more of a National League fan myself but still, it's the Yankees...my BIL used to be a scout for the KC Royals and could get me tickets for anything but the Cardinals and the Yanks as they were in high demand...now he is a scout for the Blue Jays but I don't want to have to travel that far to see a game!
That's why they have planes, BobbiJo. Hey, Ontario is a hotbed for baseball...OK, maybe not a hot bed. I like to go and watch the Intercounty teams play. These guys have all pretty much played in College, the minors or the pros and play now for the love of the game, no pay. Maybe if you're really valuable the team might cut your lawn for you or put something towards your gas money but that's about it. There's nine teams from cities throughout Southern Ontario and these guys play three times a week. They draw about 100-150 fans a game. They even televise the games on the community television station. I try to get out and see them play whenever I can. last week I went to a new park and while looking for a seat I noticed a player standing between the stands, which had people in them, taking a leak. Now that's a real baseball player, taking his bat out for a little extra pre-game practice. I guess I'll miss all that tomorrow. Maybe tonight I'll just watch the Jays and Yankees on the boob tube.
Well, I ended up going to my parents to watch the game. It was nice to spend time with living, breathing. bickering human beings! At least my parents have baseball to bind them together. Here's a little piece of the action:
Mom: what did you say? Dad: I didn't say anything! Mom: Yes you did, I saw your lips moving Dad: I didn't say a thing Mom: Oh sure, you always have something to say Dad: No I don't
It was a very full evening but hey, they must be doing something right, they've been married 55 years!
haha...love it. It's that level of trust and understanding they have.
Wii, so I have to ask (but you don't have to answer lol) what are your plans in regard to your sitch? do you have a timeline in mind how long you're going to wait for her? and more importantly based on what you've seen in the last few weeks or months do you feel that she's getting closer to reconciling...or not?

Reconciling? Waiting for her? Uh, not a chance. That's my time line! Wow, do I give the impression I want her back? Yes, we get along much better now that we're separated but she's still the self obsessed, control freak she was when we were together. There's no room for me in that and I won't live that way again either! I just haven't got around to divorcing her yet. It's just not a priority. Things are fine the way they are for now.
Well no...you don't give that impression but the fact you guys have been separated so long I wondered if one or both of you are waiting for something. Sounds like you aren't and she hasn't owned up to her mistakes or else she would've at least tried to change some things about her.
Well, it sucks that you couldn't get along as well as you do now vs. when you were married. It's something my STBXW said to me not long ago 'we get along fine when we're not husband and wife' ugh! that about killed me because that's not true it's what she wants to believe. But I'm sure that in some situations it is true...

My wife did not want the marriage but she stayed because she made a "vow" and for the kids. In the last years of our marriage she became very angry at being trapped in something she didn't want to be in, she resented me and showed it regularly. I stayed because I wanted to win her back and keep our family together, it was an incredibly difficult few years. Now that I'm not in her hair day in and day out she has breathing space and can treat me in a more respectful and humane manner. She herself said to me "I don't know how you lived through what I put you through, I couldn't have done it" So now we have our own spaces and spend some family time together and that's about it. She has her other R, which is with another woman but it's not sexual, they just love each other...figure that one out!
Well, I think I'll head out to a ballgame. The weather is going to be nice until later in the evening. I phoned my Dad to see if he'd like to join me but he's not home, my guess is he's down at the Jays game. So I'm off to the suburban bliss of Mississauga. If I get tired I'll come home. Am I an idiot for doing this? Probably, but let's play ball anyway!
I'm back! Did you all miss me? My team lost in the top of the ninth. A beautiful day though, so I enjoyed myself. Now back to stirring up sh!t on the BB!
