I don't think it's weird. Under the same circumstances, I'd probably think, "We want to get rid of the elephant. The former co-owner of the elephant is having a yard sale. She might as well get something for it."

[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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'd totally let him bring it over and let her sell it. It gets it out of the house, right? Although it does prompt a few cracks about the elephant in the room.

Okay -- I think maybe I'm over-sensitive since she's Tim's ex. I am glad to be rid of it, though.

Ha! We did indeed make those jokes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm with the "I don't think it's weird." At least, that's the kind of solution I'd come up with.

It's nice he got rid of the Former Marriage Elephant before our first anniversary. I suppose I should see about legally changing my name by then.

I took a couple years to change my name properly. Didn't do it until the IRS started complaining.

I'm glad you got rid of the elephant.
My husband's ex left so much damned stuff here. After two years, I happily tossed/donated most of it. A few pieces of furniture, office supplies and knickknacks I kept, but most of it, I wanted it OUT. A lot of it was junk and literal trash.
When we move to PA, and she sees anything and wants it back, I'm going to charge her a 8 year storage fee.

Well, I'm freelancing and get paid as Stephanie Lang Beckmeyer, so I feel like I should make it legal.

Hubby was on mega does of multiple pain drugs. You've got to train to be on that level of medication, it's why the amateurs get into trouble. Still haven't managed to get rid of Hubby's drug stash (stupid police department closed on my day off). I'm beginning to think I should keep that briefcase in case of apocalypse, I'd be in a terrific trading position.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm fairly certain that should kill him. But he's been taking it so long, he's developed a tolerance like unto Hunter S. Thompson.

One does simply saunter into massive doses of narcotics. Not if they want to wake up.
But for people with a lot of chronic, hardcore pain, they are good.
