Had another awesome weekend, I think I've mentioned before that I fly R/C planes (electrics), I'm pretty heavy into it, even have a couple of designs that are being kitted by a company. There are a couple of big electric events in TX that I missed last year due to my sitch. Not this year! Went to one Saturday morning and had a blast. I see a lot of my R/C buddies at these events, I've known many of them for over 10 years and it's about the only time we see each other. Unfortunately it conflicted with a full-scale antique aircraft fly-in that was also taking place and I had already promised S10 we'd go to that one (we go every year), so I had to cut out at lunch time. Took the kids to a nice lunch and then S10 and I went to the full scale fly-in. Lots of cool planes and a really funky Russian heli were there. Bought S10 a t-shirt for the heli and they let him climb in the belly where the gunners sit. He loved it! D18 came in from college later in the day and we caught up on all her recorded shows Saturday night. Then Sunday the weather was awesome, so S10 and I went for a nice, long motorcycle ride. Then I washed D16 and D18's cars while they were off doing other stuff which tickled them to no end
I reported earlier that W hired a lawyer to prepare the D paperwork. She asked me for some info about 3 weeks ago which I provided the next day. She had originally said she'd have them do the paperwork and then give me a copy. I've seen her several times since and she has not brought it up.
More from the "don't mindread" department- S10 told me that OM yells at the kids a lot, and S10 doesn't like it. He also said OM hasn't been coming over as much.
What does all that ^^^ mean? Nothing as far as I'm concerned, I'm just living my life. I do still fully expect the D paperwork any time, I'm just surprised I haven't gotten it yet as W acted like she was anxious to get it filed a month ago. I'm not in a hurry for it to happen as I'll have to take out a big loan to pay W for her house equity.
Since recovering from mono I still haven't gotten my weight back to where it was pre-mono, but I've fully regained my strength in weight-lifting and in fact am past where I was in reps and weight. I wasn't carrying much fat before but anytime you're in a "bulking" phase you end up carrying some extra fat too. Since the recovery I've been eating better and am staying slimmer at the expense of not putting the muscle weight on as fast, but I like the way I look more. I've resumed my tanning too, I'm not fanatical about it but go enough to keep a healthy glow

Bless your heart, you have such a great attitude! S10 is very creative as well, and yes, unique for sure! I never really thought of it as having anything to do with the ADHD but perhaps it does, might be a result of the heightened energy levels?

Am struggling with the whole ideo of dating...my H says to me on Friday at ball game "Hope you aren't considering dating....if you were we'd have to be getting D'ed!" The nerve, I thought!! (Does "hanging out" w cute guy count?? LOL?)
My personal opinion is do it for you if you feel the time is right, and you decide how much of it you want to disclose to H. My W and I have been S'd for over a year and we haven't acted as H and W in that time in any way, shape or form. Coparenting is the only thing we've done jointly. I've been dating and while I don't wave it in her face I don't make any effort to conceal it either. If she said something to me like your H did I don't think I could keep from laughing out loud, the thought of her leaving me and working up D papers and then suddenly telling me dating just wouldn't be right, well it makes me chuckle
