I'm still around....

The Ex-Factor...

'Lo Steve-O,

I just assumed your "absence" was due to your working on another secret and mind-bending XS repair/moderator project. (Was waiting patiently on my end cause ya just can't rush a "genius-at-work"...)

Apparently the delay was not XS-related and was due to the shenanigans of others. (One in particular...). Although "she" may be gone from your life and therefore not 2 or 3 rooms away from you at the moment, I'd resist the urge to totally exclude her from your life/thoughts in a "just-ferget-about-her" kinda way. You'd miss out on the BEST part which is yet to come.

Surely, the "Ex" is on FaceBook. If you get an account then you may continue to keep informed of her progress in life "as-her-own-worst-enemy" while she posts updates. As entertaining/amusing as this might be, there's also something you can do which I found to be quite therapeutic:

She posts:

"I've just lost my Job." <hit the LIKE button>
"My Cat ran away." <hit the LIKE button>
"I'm being evicted." <hit the LIKE button>
"My car was stolen." <hit the LIKE button>

Just sayin' that nuthin' makes me more happy than seeing an EX fail...

Note: I'm prob'ly just a scumbag and you're way too ethical/decent to even consider such activities. That's something you can be proud of...

While I've never seen the attraction of 'social media', I can see that I've failed to see all the possibilities.... When provoked I am known for having a bit of a mean streak...

One of the reasons she's walking away now is my prior ex had a fit of envy/jealousy several years into this marriage; pulled some nasty stuff and this one got to watch me nuke that ex in court. It proved to be a very costly mistake for that ex (to the tune of over $30K against a $40 per month increase in support that she only got for 8 months, and eventually nearly $300K when her father cut her out of his will when he found out some of the things she pulled) and she never tried anything again. I've told all of 'em, be reasonable and I'll return the favor; try nasty, I know how to do that too. But my nasty is driven by logic, not emotion....

emotional logic methinks...paybacks are a bitch...

The reason divorce is so expensive is because it's worth it.I feel for you man good luck!

Congrats

Steve on the new ride and your new freedom. Looks like the new ride might be a chick magnet. Be careful my man.Number three might be just around the corner.

[crazy steve]

....Number three might be just around the corner.

Uhhh... this one is number three. I think I may switch to hookers; likely cheaper in the long run....

[DGXSER]

Yep, you don;t pay them to have sex, you pay them to leave directly afterward!! But then, if your not careful they might give you a gift that you never get rid of!

Number three huh....well....like the Tim Wilson song says "been married nine times, he!!, maybe its you!" J/K of course...
