Basically they’re the same as the annoying <insert group here> everyone <who ain’t them but quite probably has their own group> hates.

Sure. Yes. My point, at least, is what a dopey statement that is. Doesn’t seem to create much doubt if you come right out and say you’re there just to create doubt. Perhaps trump lumpen and QNuts will happily take the word of some rando who used to work for Gaetz, I doubt very many of the rest of us will.

Yeah, well, I got hit as a kid. A lot. I sure as fuck didn’t “turn out fine”. Probably one of the worst things was when I read that people who grew up in abusive households tend to repeat the cycles of abuse. For that exact reason I never had kids of my own. I was terrified I’d be like that, too. Ironically when I…

Good point. Maybe the best point.

Well, I’m here to give total credit to these allegations and I have no evidence, either! Touche’!

Um, no Matt...I’m pretty sure they are just coming for you, ya creepy piece of shit.

Been to Graceland many times but it’s been quite a few years since the last visit. Great tip\reminder :)

Today was a gorgeous day in Chicago. Sunny, low 60's light wind. Perfect day for a bike ride. As I pedaled through the light holiday traffic, kinda just aimlessly roaming and minding my own beeswax...I found myself nearing the friendly confines of Wrigley Field. Today happened to be a game day. I got closer and the…

Yeah, I don’t get kipping. Looks like how we cheated pull-ups in PE class. I absolutely couldn’t do ‘em because I already have some old shoulder issues.

Absolutely. I say now my bike is almost as important as my therapist.

I got pretty sedentary after a serious workplace leg injury about a decade ago. I did nothing for a long time and put on a lot of weight. I have s-l-o-w-l-y gotten more active again in the last few years. Mostly cycling, working with resistance bands and fumbling my way through some very basic yoga-ish stretching. I…

WTF? I get a lot of people are still out of work and all but after a year of clusterfuck, they still can’t get their shit together enough to even answer the phone? Of course not...what am I thinking? So many places you still can’t make an appt. to get vaccinated...nice job, America.

What  a hugely stressful time for you. Hope you can find some way to slow down and take a breathe even for a little while. Wishing you and hubby the best in getting your plans back on track.

Hey now....this sounds like a plan. I like it!

Happy holiday weekend to you and your lovely fam, too!

It’s a tough situation. Know that you’re absolutely not being unreasonable in any way. It’s hard enough when two people aren’t on the same page about finances. You have to added stress of being in a new country and trying to make it work. Hang in there and know so many of us are cheering you on from here.

I honestly can’t think of a time an ex apologized to me for anything important.

So, I tried about a half dozen lame\witty responses to you. But they all end the same way. Cuttin’ to the chase.....you’re awesome :)

And...that...would...be...?

I’m older than Jordan. So...yeah.
