We have been to court. All divorce papers are filed. Now we just wait for December 1st when we go back to get the final decree.
I really felt bad for the couple who eminated frustration and each had a lawyer with them. Most everyone else was going the "do it yourself" way.
So you feel OK about it, Suzi? It must be hard, regardless.
Go, Leif!
Ma as necessary for Mooshu.

Fred, lots of kitty~ma.
Happy Birthday, erika! I hope you get something good (possibly Baucus' head on a pike?)
Gud, I hope the program is a good fit for Leif.
Bestest birthday gift ever. Everyone would get to enjoy it.
I don't know why anyone trusts him, Cash. Because I've never seen him before in my life, but when I did, I thought "weasel"...there's something weird about his microexpressions, at the risk of sounding like I should be on Fixed Noise talking body language.
He should be on commercials with his dog Spot selling cars.
Of course, you can still be a weasel without looking like one, but still.

erika, that man postively oozes. Your instincts are spot on.
I'm ok, for the most part. Just exhausted. With all the other stuff that has changed over the last year, we had put this paperwork on the back burner. Now we are officially closing the book on that part of my life.
I chose this and STBX (gonna have to come up with something else to call him) has been MUCH better about it than I ever anticipated. I just wish my mom was here to see that I finally followed-through.
If I could be Majority Leader for one day, I'd find something that "Suits his unique talents" like the Caribou Awareness Commitee.
I'm stoked about Harkin chairing HELP, though...he's the best ally in Congress that the disability-rights movement has...not fiery or anything, but absolutely unfailing(I believe his brother is a crip)
I give him points for that, because despite all the Palin-mania on the subject, it's usually not sexy.

Nice!
Suzi, may the next volume of your life be filled with 99.999% pure joy, after the last few years.
Re: writers with AS, I haven't read that author's books, but one of the best fic writers I've read was diagnosed with it a few years ago. Figuring out emotional nuance from RL input may be frustrating and difficult for her, but she's got writing about it down pat. Probably because she *has* to think about it so much. (My research indicates that women on spectrum who are high-functioning are frequently missed in diagnoses because they present differently and are, for various reasons, better at effectively faking normal.)
