Tracy ,'The Message'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Okay, Stephanie is a nicer person than I am.
Annoyance is too limited a feeling in fact; how about outrage?
He told his wife he wanted a divorce because she's no longer intellectually curious enough for him.
Good God, I hope he wears a damn condom and never, ever procreates again.
Well, not nicer, it just seemed odd to me that she would be rude to you if she was trying to get you to come to playgroup.
But I had my own weird "how did this sound to you?" moment this weekend. And Joe, who is way more forgiving about this sort of thing than me, actually agreed with me. So, apparently I'm nice, but not all that nice.

there's someone in our extended family who gave this reason for his divorce. It still makes me angry today.
Let me guess - his wife stayed at home with their kids, and now he thinks she's boring? I, for one, would be willing to personally conduct some surgery that would ensure this man's inability to procreate in the future.
Actually, she's a medical doctor, but yes, she has two small children. Apparently, her exhaustion at the end of the day, and her willingness to go along with whatever her husband wanted, made her...boring.

No, actually she's been working (as he has) as a professor. I suspect that she nags and pesters him with boring things when they are home in the evenings like ("would you give the baby a bath?") instead of providing him with the witty conversation he needs to survive.
eta: HA! Douchenozzle x-post!
Well, I'm so sorry he got a wife instead of an Active.
he no longer wants to see his children on the weekends because he likes to have those days free.
Asshole. I hope he regrets his choice when he's old and decrepit and his kids have to decide about his retirement community.

Maybe she just wasn't "intellectually curious" about *him,* since he's an ASSHOLE.
Today's episode of Wake Up With Hugh Laurie: [link]
Basically the same joke as yesterday. But funnier.
(Although 'Have you found the lid?'/'I've found the lid' are becoming euphemisms for solving the mysteries of life, in our house.)
I hope the asshole realizes that if he decides to forego visitation with his kids, it doesn't mean he doesn't have to pay support. Because he sounds like that kind of asshole.
Bitches, I'm so sorry you're having a bad day here. {{}}
Things will get better. They must, and we're doing our best, so if they won't... we'll file a complaint. Or just take the whole fucking Earth down with us.
"what a weird coincidence - my parents are in town too! But why not combine parents visiting with playgroup?"
That's what I read.
ION, People Who Have No Business Being in the Service/Food Industry: if I tell you 3 times within less than 30 seconds my order, and then you get it wrong, I'm gonna slightly hate you. That is all. Also, if I'm walking into your store and you're doing everything in your power to ignore the consumers' presence (because yes, it really does take 4 people to flip a freaking toast), I'm gonna walk away within 2 minutes.
People. People who avoid from me food are the worst kind of people.
