I would go with someone that has less sexual experience than this whole board collectively combined.

Well as far as THAT goes, if you want to cut to the chase and have your bank accounts emptied and have her use the cash to send for her real husband in Luzon right away, that's a good route to go. At least with your old wife you got a couple decades out of her. That's better than most cars.

oh boy.....

Call me sick....

WTF????

Is it? How so?

Aunty---Are you suggesting that that isn't the case in the Phillipines?

Abu--you'd have to have been laid at least once to have an opinion.....

lol

is it bed time for this one yet?

What is so offensive????

OK OK time out. AUNTY is not happy...

So has everybody lost their sense of humor?

Bitter apple helps stop chewing.

Just get a different ex-wife.

I bet Sol's ex is actually a pretty cool gal... She put up with him for many years after all
I can only imagine the frustration dude. I like the idea of putting a value on the damage and taking it out of her cut. I hope I never get divorced and have to deal with crap like this...

She would still be putting up with me if I hadn't pulled the plug and asked for a divorce. She is pretty cool, or at least can be at times. I married the woman, after all. That is what makes this suck so bad.

She says she will take care of getting the damage fixed and pay for it herself. That isn't much consolation for me, as I am currently in the process of trying to finish what the dog seems intent on chewing up so we can sell the damn place and move on with our lives. I don't for one second believe she got the dog to piss me off, and if it was a well manered dog I could care less. I'm just frustrated with her ability to make rational decisions in general, and in particular in the pet department. A Labradoodle? Who gets a Labradoodle? And who keeps it when it's tearing shi% up in the house? Give me a fuc%ing break.

Buying the parriot was a "bad" decision and it was a MAJOR factor in pushing me over the edge in asking for a divorce and wanting the hell out of the house. The fact she got rid of it after I left says volumes about her if you know her like I do, and she doesn't see it. Makes me sad.

I can't be around people that do not see things the way I do, and that includes my friends. I've got the best friends in the world because I say what I think, and the dicks or whathaveyous that can't deal with it or hang get weeded out. It's my process. The binding affect of the marriage licence didn't allow that to occur in my relationship with my wife as we grew and matured over time. In that respect I think marriage in general is a flawed concept in human relations.

When she was a pup, our dog ate a recliner, a couch, and a pair of my slippers.

You know why puppies are cute? Because they HAVE to be. Otherwise there'd be puppy carcasses scattered all over the country side.

Labradoodle pups AREN'T cute, bro.

BTW: I wouldn't tollerate that dog of yours, either. I've been to your house once, and watching you raunning around in the neighborhood at O'dark thirty in the morning calling it because it ran off is only one of many reasons why.

Yup, and children are sooooo the same! Just the other night I went lookin for the bottle of scotch (Highlander) that my brother brought back from Scotland for me. I couldn't find it for the life of me. I'm tryin ta remember when the hell I drank a bottle scotch, then my son shows up from school (CW) so I ask him if he's seen it, "OH ya, me and the buddies put that down" he say's. He got ANOTHER quick lesson about stayin the f^#% outa my booze!

"quick lesson about stayin the f^#% outa my booze"
I know that one! I had to have that conversation with my two sons more than once also. First it was my last beer but then I had a 1/2 gallon of Don Quixote rum that disappeared. That did it. I took their car keys and made them ride the bus to high school for a few days. Humbled them right out.
Our adopted son still tells people about the first thing I ever said to him was "Stay the f*ck outta my shiat!"
He was one of those kids that had to pull, push, open and generally mess with everything. Given his background before he was part of our family I'd guess it was just for attention. He sure got attention from me until he realized he was accepted.

Sol - maybe having someone come in a finish up the work for you might be better. Working full time plus working on the house is hard timewise. Given the length of time properties are on the market these days, you may want to get the process started before all the work is finished. Our market hasn't dropped to the extent of others but it's still a lot slower than it was. 4 - 6 months or more is not unusual now days although waterfront is less affected. The money you pay to somebody to do it may be made up by savings on holding costs prior to marketing.

And I, being the decent kind of guy I am, wouldn't ask you to. The dog's a pain in the ass, but if that was grounds for getting kicked to the curb, I'd be sitting on the curb for the last 30 years.

The fact that you tolerate ME is really enough anyway.
