Even replacement parts can be built on a Friday.

What means this turn of phrase?

Gosh, I wish I could prove it. Unfortunately, I didn't run ASP before sending it in so I don't have a record of the brand and model of the drive I had before. Bummer. I'm not sure if I've got enough assertiveness in me to call them about this when I have so little backup. OTOH, the fact that my AppleCare is probably going to run out this March might influence me.

I hurt right now. I don't normally ask for hairpats, but can I have some? I attempted to do the official filing for divorce thing tonight and became so overwhelmed and upset that I had to stop. I feel so raw and broken.

I'm sorry, Kristin. That's one of the hardest transitions you can make in this life.

I was boggled when Juliana told me that she finalized her divorce before she left MN. It takes six months waiting period out here in CA.

On the plus side, you now have a sassy bob. So while you're crushed and suffering, you probably look very pretty.

Oh sweetheart, I am so sorry. I know that raw, aching feeling and I wish I could make it go away for you. (((Kristin)))

{{{Krisitin}}} Hairpats, and a virtual shoulder, and the drink of your choice. And you get to choose between Geek Pick-up Lines:

"Your name is Leslie? I can spell that on my calculator!"

or

"Mind if I use a sniffer to see if your ports are open?"

Thank you, everyone. It's not that the marriage hasn't been over for a long time, but the paperwork is so soul-draining.

but the paperwork is so soul-draining.

Paperwork sucks.

Divorce sucks.

Divorce plus paperwork = soulcrushing. It's like homework and trauma all tied up into one neat little package.

This this this! I have never heard it said better. This completely captures how I'm feeling.

I cried for what seemed like forever the day we signed our papers. And, as Hec mentioned, it would be six months before it was even really final.

For all of the hope and promise that comes from signing the marriage certificate, signing the divorce papers just bitchslaps you with reality.

Oh, darling one. It's just hard. It's right, it's needed, it's where you ought to be but it is just so damn hard at the same time.

We agreed to the divorce months ago, but we haven't done anything legally yet. Living 3000 miles away from each other and his insane travel schedule has made it really difficult to work out the specific details, and since we aren't using lawyers in an attempt to save money, the details are overwhelming. We're filing in CT, which has a 3-month waiting period until it's final once we've filed, but we're not even close to getting all the loans/assets etc. worked out yet TO file. I just want it over.
