Blue:
You and your children sound like you're doing great----all things considered. You are a family....and a strong family (just minus 1).
Listen to Bandits advise----treat yourself well and take care of yourself.
On a side note...I was lucky enough to travel to Scotland once. Truly some of the friendliest/nicest people I have ever met (although some were at bit tough to verbally understand). Beautiful country!
Good luck Blue!

I think I posted earlier, maybe not, that she was working for this man. Looking back, I remember one night I came home from work and she could barely look me in the eyes. I suspected then, that something had happened. She is welcome to him as far as I am concerned, it won't last. Two cheats never last, especially when one of them has a serious problem with jealousy.

You are correct. They have maybe a 2% chance of their relationship lasting more than a year. They will devour one another with their dysfunctional personalities.

You on the other hand, will meet a woman who will make you completely forget why you ever married this harpy in the first place.

Cheer mate. We are doing well. I had my first night out a couple of weeks ago and had an absolute blast. It raised my spirits more than any drug could. Luckily, I have a few work colleagues, male and female, who are also saying the same. They are telling me that I need to focus on myself now and by doing so, my kids will benefit even more. They are correct.

I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to Scotland. We are generally, a very friendly and welcoming people, with a great sense of humour. Yes, we can be hard to understand but most are well capable of reverting back to the English language :-) It is a beautiful country and the ruggedness can bring strong men to their knees.

My STBXW and I went to Scotland around five years ago.... the most beautiful country I've ever been too. We stayed for two weeks and had the time of our lives.

I loved it all... the landscape, the history, the pubs, and, of course, I loved the people the most. I see now where we Americans get our down to earth directness and quirky sense of humor, given that so many of us are of Scots descent. I felt completely at home there... much more so than in England or Ireland. The Scots have a humor that is more lively and less dry than the English.

The only thing I did not like about Scotland were the midges. Bloodsucking little vampires! Urghhhh.

We visted Glencoe one day, and me being the ignorant Yank, I thought I would walk out into the glen, off the path, for a nice stroll. I got maybe twenty feet and sunk up to my knees in the waterlogged peat. My wife was helpless trying to get me unstuck. Luckily a gaggle of German tourists were on hand to pull me out. Talk about humiliating!

Ha ha Bandit, you won't be the last to get stuck in a peat bog. And as for the infamous midge, the scourge of the west of Scotland. I hate the little blighters as well. Many attempts have been made to repel them but the only thing that works, is growing the skin of a Rhino :-)

The one thing about us Scots is we are equally capable of laughing at ourselves, as well as others. Outside of my family, I take nothing serious in life - a day without a laugh, is a day wasted.

I could maybe get to the Sean Connery type of Macho man but my Brad Pitt days are over.

Having said that, I spent fifteen years of my life on a chainsaw, felling trees and I developed, what I consider, slow grown muscle, which is different to the bloated body builders. I can put men half my age to shame and it wouldn't take much to get back in shape.


Hmmm, maybe I should stop off at the gym on the way home
You are sounding hot! Too bad you live about 7 time zones away!

That's the beauty of the Internet. Once you get past my false teeth, glass eye and wooden leg, I am very hot Only joking.

If we weren't 7 times zones away, then a night out, would be on the cards.

Went out on Saturday night and had another blast. No women involved, just an absolutely brilliant night. People were dancing on the seats in the pub. I perched myself at the bar, which meant lots of interaction with people as they ordered their drinks. The most beautiful woman in the bar insisted on dancing with me as I was the only one who knew the words to Meat Loaf's songs. Her boyfriend was a bruiser though, so I played cool

Life is good

You can't deny he made himself sound GOOD! I could see a lumberjack's body and hear that accent, who couldn't fall for a Sean Connery accent!!
