You're the former fire chief's ex-wife??!! I've got to tell ya, the boob job you paid for with the divorce settlement was very traumatic for him!
BA HA HA HA HA. I guess she didn't mind the orgies or the coke?

Hey, what is the plural or "orgy" anyway? Hey, KG... got a question for ya....
 
I started off writing how awesome it is that you got asked to speak! I am soooo jealous! I would have loved to hear you!

But, have fun with your ex, but be careful. We all love the bad boy at one time or another. Maybe he's changed. If not, enjoy him as much as you can without losing yourself in all of the drama.

and...if your kids are like mine remember they remember everything so monitor what you say in front of them.
We saw Blades of glory the other day and I am still shocked at what my 9 year old is quoting!:eek:
 
Congratulations on the invite, Paige! That is truly an honor.
 
Love is blind...It is also deaf, dumb and stupid. Paige, if you get your self into a "sitiation" with that homeboy, just holler and we'll all get over there and well, you can decide how we should torture him! (Kitchen shears and the name Lorraina come to mind!) You have enough on your plate and you seem to have a lot of self respect. And you sound so happy, I am hoping you are right about him.

And the Kitchen show live thing! WHOA! Totally awsome!

And Anne, what why didn't you tell me about your ex? He sounds fun!

Sorry! Oh, yeah... my ex was quite a guy! Now, he's married again with a baby. (<---- How's that for irony?) I wish her and the kid lots of luck. I just thank God I never caught a disease--he wasn't very choosy and I had no idea what he was doing.
 
GeezHe could have at least married a scagg. Would have been more appropriate!
Especially since he didn't deserve you!
 
Paige and I met on a beach at the Atlantis. Paige, you are such a nice woman and her three babies are beautiful. My son and I were watching your 8 year old when they announced the teams that one the scavenger hunt. She was so disappointed that your team wasn't called.
You have a lot on your plate and so you make sure that you end up with a good man that will help you out.
Ok...now I need to take my own advise!!!:eek:
 
WowYou all just made me realize I am very lucky.
21 years with the same person. We do have our arguments but it has never gotten as bad as either one of us doing anything really stupid to each other. I am a mjor screw up when it comes to money so that is the burden I dump on him. His is that he is rather lazy. I do most of the work around our house but, I guess I like doing it or it would be more af an issue for me. It only becomes and issue when I am tired. So...
I count myself as lucky. You ALL deserve that and it will come to you!
 
Not to hijack, but Happy Birthday John!
 
Bump.Post #12 is particularly disturbing

I know! He's been pointing out what a great "assistant" he'd make for me, which I think means getting a free ride. He works in health care says he works as much or as little as he likes, but he thinks it's more important to have time than money. He seems happy and seems to have everything he needs, so I don't think he needs to earn more, but isn't $1500/month before taxes like poverty level? He's been changing agencies that he works for, so he hasn't worked for 4 weeks because they keep stringing him along, needing his immunization records, then his TB test, then another physical, on and on. I think he has all their requirements done, and now they haven't sent him any work. He said if they don't send him work by this weekend, he's going to another agency. In the past he really didn't have trouble with keeping a job, he just preferred to smoke pot instead of work. Ugh!

BUMP UP Post # 23 is disturbing too..
 
I haven't been on in a while, can someone tell me what happened to Paige?
 
There's a sticky thread at the top of the Lounge. She's been missing since Thursday.
 
Oh my God. I had no idea. My prayers definetly go out to her and her family and hope that she is ok.
 
Thing is ... in those posts she is talking about ex #1 ... not the kids' father.

And I agree with you.
