I could do nothing. Chains, like here in DisneyLand.
He walked out. Said he could do better. Filed for divorce.
Happy ending?
Yeah, right!
Abusive phonecalls. To her and her sons. Home and work.
Threats.
Driving by her house.
Emails. Home and work.
Facebook. To her sons.
My sister clings to her beliefs.
She is on the verge of a breakdown.
He did the same thing to his first wife.
Her marriage counselor warned her that this guy is nuts.
So did his own brother.
I can fix it. Fark the law. Fark jail time.
I am justified.
The only thing that stops me?
My sister's stupid, antisurvival beliefs.
I love her so much.
But she is a total doormat.

New phone numbers (home and work) and new email addresses might be a start. Hard to move "home" though, if he is driving by.

Or get the kind with a flip-up top. Of course, those can be left up too, if he really means it!

How about -- get yourself a private tube of toothpaste, and ignore what he does with his?

He's 34.

Does anyone know where such a chart could be found? Is there a book on toothpaste use for dummies?

I use the semi-rigid toothpaste containers where the cap is always attached. with all of the traveling I do, it makes sense. you can always figure out how to make it "accdentally" ooze out all over his personal stuff in the bathroom... razor, medications, eyeglasses, whitetighties, shoes....

probably the kind I use

BadGoodDeb, the kids numbers were changed. But they text his kids.
My sister shut down the email account he used, and her job issued her a new cell phone with her new assignment.
Because of her job, the kids school, ect., she can't change her home phone number.
And she changed the church she attends. Yes, he shows up there, too.

Tom, did you conceive your son at a nuclear plant or toxic waste dump?

An open toothpaste tube can ooze it's content on a pillow...

You should join the men in blue...

I have police officers, a correction officer and an FBI agent in the family.

I've done both, but the wife usually does the shopping and she gets the kind with detachable caps. He even leaves the top off the ones with attached caps, but at least the caps don't get lost. It gets old having to hide a second tube for the rest of the family

That would explain much. He was such a good kid until the testosterone kicked in and the voice changed. Everyone always commented on what an angel he was until he turned into a teenager, and he hasn't been the same since. He's not a bad fellow, but unthinking.

I've had police officers in mine and one of my uncles was in Naval Intelligence.

You should have applied for that job - if you didn't anyway

Yups. One company I worked for gave out a bonus at around Christmas time to those who had performed well. They also had a party. The only December I was there, two people didn't get a bonus - myself and one other (let's call her Gail, if only because I can't remember her real name). That year, two people didn't get the bonus. That would be myself and Gail. (To my intense disappointment they caught wind of serious trouble that was heading towards them, wound up the company and vanished - this was nothing to do with the bonus, though)

Well, actually, he can break the law if he's prepared to take the consequences for getting caught doing so (if he gets caught). Usually it's not a course of action I'd recommend though (although some situations... maybe)

the "your Dad is actively dying" call from the hospice nurse came during the meeting leaving many issues still open.

Urgh - very bad timing.

How old's your daughter?

What KK said. If she won't do it for herself, try and at least get her to do it for her children. I'm sure she can square it with her belief in karma somehow - helping it along a little, maybe

It will be handled. The right way.
And may involve spade work.
If you can dig it.
ROFL!

I have around 4 or 5 holes ready just in case...

You could start with this:

And then add a couple of verses of:

Put the cap cap cap on on on!
Put the cap on, put the cap on!
Yes you can, yes you can!

oh and a few ch ch ch ch ch's

I think I'm glad that I'm not familiar with that song!

We need a spring loaded cap.

I'd pay extra for that! For as long as my son continues to live with us!

recluse · 07-19-2010, 07:21 PM

Uh, Tom?
Have you taught him how to use a condom yet?
