RE: Wednesday, just casting out for the weekend

I would have like to hear you screaming at the tv last night. If it were anything like me it was exciting. Since my Phillies were down early, I flipped over to watch some of the Brewers game. I was actually going between the two games. Comcast was having a free preview of the sports packages. It was a week long and ends tonight. So many games to choose from. It looked the Cards had that game in hand when I turned it off. After I went upstairs, (no cablebox there so I could no longer watch them) I watched the remainder of the Phillies game and the ticker where I was keeping an eye on the Brewers.

Ugh. I just cut all ten fingers off with a kitchen knife. Any fingers that could type the words GO C*BS obviously are of no use to me!

I don't know what I was thinking. But I'll be typing with my toes from now on.

Was your brain broken? Did you forget who your team is? Or did Ruby sneek in and post "Go Cubs!"?

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Oh, okay. That explains it - temporary insanity. I'll buy it.

OOOOOOOOOH MY GOODNESS! I DID THE SAME THING ALL NIGHT! SEE!!! NOW THIS IS A BASEBALL BUDDY!

By the end of the games I was also cycling through the Arizona / Chicago game. I think my loudest screaming was reserved for the 7 runs the Diamondbacks scored in their last two innings!

DA CUBS STILL SUCK!!!!

The best part is, now the cracks are starting to show on their local newspaper, the Sun Times. The reporters were in happy land for two months, but the first sign of adversity and they're getting their poison pens ready.

Todays headline: ON THE ROAD TO OBSCURITY

They're already getting prepared to bury their FIRST PLACE team because they're lost four of five since the break. So fickle.

I definitely don't fit into my buddy Web's category of baseball fan.

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

No you do not! Not once did I get an email from you telling me the players were scratching too much!

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Nope. But we probably would have had a good phone convesation. I can hear it now.

TL "Did you see that play?"
JR "Which game?"
TL "The Marlins game. Webgem nominee."
JR "Nope. Holy cow! Flip over and catch the replay on the Arizonia game."

Followed by hours of endless chatter about various teams and blown calls.

I'm just happy that Fuzzy can accept me for who I am.

lol. That's exactly how it would go. I had to rewind the Arizona game three times yesterday to catch Oliver Hudson (who eventually left the game with an injury) hit his homer off the Cubs.

The announcers believe he faked out the catcher by standing back after a big looping curveball for a strike and saying "WOW!" like he was totally overmatched by it. The pitcher sure enough used it for his "strikeout" pitch but this time Hudson expected it and smacked it into the stands.

THAT'S why I love this game.

Web: I accept you for who you are. I just don't accept you as my baseball buddy anymore.

And I wouldn't try to change you. That isn't fair or right to ask someone to do that.

WebGuy · Doesn't Do Windows

Thank you, Fuzzy.

Its refreshing to see that SOMEONE understands that.

I am a different type of woman you know? I usually scare men. I am glad that my purpleness doesn't scare you guys.

it does, but I cope. you aight in my eyes.

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Thanks JD. A purple fuzzy thing does scare most men. Then when they find out that I can talk the get creeped out. And on top of that when they find out that I can talk (sensibly) about sports, they run away. Usually screaming. I hate when that happens.

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

I think you'd be GREAT to have around the house fuzzy!

My place is really dusty and I bet you'd work well as a duster

CP · Lord of the Lair

I am almost single, can I come?

darleneapd · Cuff 'Em N' Stuff 'Em

Did someone say single?? I'm single where we goin?

CP · Lord of the Lair

ya mee. I am almost single.

Seriously though. May I inquire on this forum. Has anyone gone thru a divorce? Was it bitter? Were kids involved?

Am I being a wimp? Because of my kids, right now I am fighting nothing. I have given her everything. She is living in a beautiful house in a country club.

My family is very upset with me. but, I love my kids more than I can say. So, I decided, I love them more than I dislike her. She has left me penniless and even took my car this morning. I just handed over the keys. Why fight?

Am I foolish--cause I won't lie, it really hurts. I still love her.

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Sure. You don't have to be single, but it helps so you don't get into trouble for staying out late. We are going to eat, drink, talk sports and generally have a nice time. All aboard.

I have never had my own personal divorce but I've been affected by them. I grew up surrounded by divorce. I saw what my husband went through so I know that you are torn. Yes a child was involved. I also know how vengeful and bitter individuals can be. Even though my husband paid money to her from the moment he left the house to support the girl, she lied in court and said that he didn't just because she was bitter. He was stupid to only pay cash though. My sister and I had told him to get checks but he didn't. You have to do what is right for you but I do believe that you will look back one day and you will be kicking yourself for not standing up for yourself and letting her have it all. I don't agree with that at all. You are better than that. You work hard and should not be left with nothing. Sorry if that was harsh CP- you know I always speak my mind with you.

CP · Lord of the Lair

My family says the same thing. What hurts is that my in-laws are lying and saying very bad things about me to my kids.

Woo Hoo · The Chosen Woo

That's so not right either. I was directly affected by that! Family would talk crap about my Dad in front of me. furious

CP - I can't sasy I have been involved with divorce. I am sorry that you have to deal with this mess. I can only offer an opinion.

You have to protect yourself. You can't let her have everything. She has no right to everything, only half. Help the judge see her for who she really is - a money loving person who has taken everything from you. At this time there is no reason for someone to take your girls from you. But you have to be prepared for the fight and the mental anguish that comes with it.

I think your girls know better. I also believe that you have a good enough relationship witht them to be able to talk about these things.

Good luck.

CP · Lord of the Lair

I really appreciate your input and support. This has been very difficult for me.

Wednesday night...(well it's 0211 on Thursday morning...)
I am hot - 65 degrees out there - humidity 85% and not a breeze to be found...

Been to the Pics...couldn't get into Mamma Mia so went to see Han**** instead

pipsar6 · Chocolate Pip Cookie

and Good Night all

CP I'm divorced too...but I am very lucky in that we can all get on.
In fact earlier this month my ex drove 90 miles and accompanied me to the kids' school presentation evening. We grabbed a quick cold drink in the supermarket nearby before hand. and after school went for a meal at pizza hut with the kids which I paid for (though he offered )...with my partner who was abroad fully aware and approving also.
i explained to the kids that i paid for the meal because their dad was doing 180 miles on expensive gas...and had spent his fair share just getting here. we hope that it shows the kids that these things can be civilised and hopefully we send them good sigals which they seem to appreciate
We did have a few blips in the earliest days but these have ironed themselves out nicely too. My ex has had a couple of serious lady friends in the ensuing times and i met them both in the presence of the kids and we got on fine.

That's great Pip! That's the way it should be. I really like how you explained it to the kids too.
