Anyone want to fly to Hawaii for a week to jump out of a plane a few times, swim under a waterfall, jump off a cliff and then go scuba diving?

Sure, but would you mind making all the reservations?

Jack Ass.

I knew I liked you

Congratulations on achieving true happines, but are you gonna tell us *why* you are getting divorced? Inquiring (i.e., nosy!) minds want to know?

Actually, I just like really good divorce stories!

What the hell...

That part where I said "he expected me to take care of everything". That's most of it. When the guy spends 4 years of a 10 year marriage unemployed and you have to apply for jobs for him - not a good sign. But I am the type that can’t leave a person just because they don’t have a job, talk about kicking someone when they are down. Then once he was employed I realized, nope, it wasn't the money, it was his lack of ability to do anything for himself, let alone me.

Then there is me. Over the past 2 years I have broken out of my shell - lost over 125 pounds, taken up skydiving, climbing the corporate ladder, traveling the world. He hasn't changed. Sucks for him really since he is exactly who he was a few years ago. I just can't imagine not trying to reach further - you know the type A personality/Capricorn thing - gotta climb that next peak.

So, now that I have a divorce date I am going to start planning the vacation I always wanted, but he scoffed at. Anyone want to fly to Hawaii for a week to jump out of a plane a few times, swim under a waterfall, jump off a cliff and then go scuba diving?

Free Woman???

How You Doin!!

You should celebrate by coming to the SDA Halloween Boogie/Freefly festival!

Where is SDA, I just might show up!!!

Get home safe man!

My soon-to-be-ex husband was served divorce papers over 30 days ago. He never responded. For the first time in our marriage the fact that he expected me to take care of everything has finally paid off!

Texas law says that because he didn’t respond, I no longer even need his signature on the divorce decree. I simply go down there, tell the judge what I want and he grants the petition. So, if I were a real biotch, I could take all of the assets, give him all the debts and screw him. Damn, that’s an empowering feeling. Of course, we are trying to stay friendly, I am too nice for that, and I have to live with myself, so I will be very fair - overly generous if you ask my lawyer, but still! I was so worried I’d be getting screwed, now I have all of the power. Thank you GOD!!!!.

So, as of a particular date in November (that I won’t tell anyone because I don’t want him to find out about it until the deed is done) I will be FREE!!!!! There will be much rejoicing at the DZ that weekend! I never imagined a divorce would make me so happy – damn, I should NOT have waited 10 years to do this…

Oooh look an Iron.

I wonder what the bottom feels like??

Is that why they call you "Stumpy"?

Hopefully I'll be getting my A license!!!! And of course, the appropriate celebratory festivities to follow

Tell your "friend" to meet her at a bar and get there early so he can have a few drinks first and she'll be cute again!

Oh, uh, I mean, what Krisanne said, yeah, that's better

The question is mute for me, but as for people who have tried to get me drunk so I would sleep with them... many have tried, once succeeded - and only because I already decided he would while I was still sober...

Oh, except for that frat party in college - but that was college and I try to forget the guys I slept with back then - ah, youth and stupidity...

I several cds including his live album, a double cd - Rhythm of the Heat is still my favorite. Last time I saw him in concert, I got a little too hammered though - all I remember is he and his daughter (singing backup) riding around stage on the segues.

Was that the 2004 concert where he was also bouncing around the stage in that giant hamster ball while singing "Growing Up"? I saw it late one night a few weeks ago on PBS.

Yup. If I weren't so hammered, that might have stuck out more than the segues.

Except a splat on the ground. That is bad.

Brilliant!

Freshly caught lobster, ribeye steak, steamed broccoli, and a nice glass (or two) of merlot. Mmmmm!

All I know is I need to have dinner with Brian!

Your House, Your Car and half your life savings.

I just have to say that the above goes both ways. I feel like the ex is going to suck my blood forever - thank God there is only a month to go.

Hooking on the other hand - seems like there are a lot more male customers than female. I guess that could be because all we have to do is go to a bar and pick if all we wanted was to get laid.

But really, if that was all I wanted, I'm much better at getting myself off than most of the men I've been with - which is probably why most women don't use prostitutes - we'd rather do it ourselves.

I’m with the guys on this one, move on… there are plenty of fish in the sea. Maybe the problem is you are looking for what you think is the “right” person. Open yourself up a bit to some more opportunities. If you have in your head that certain qualities equal “right” you may be picking the wrong women based on a set of qualities that you realize later doesn’t really matter.

And Walt, I am living proof – yes, Men DO drive women CRAZY!!!! I’m a nut bar!

They obviously haven't realized it's your birthday!

Proof you have WAY too much time on your hands
