I remembered seeing something on it last memorial day. I know my dad would have wanted to go and we would have tried our hardest to see that he did.<br /> Due to lack of experience in the manfriend department, I don't feel adequate to discuss the other topic! Hang in there ladies! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458627 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 18:04:31 +0000 AV 458627@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>.... *skids* in the Cafe, after a LONG, tiring day!.... Hi guys!... yikes!... "bean soup"..... looks around for a LARGE bottle of "beano".....LOL...</p> <p>... Daughter is arriving in tonight from UCF to do laundry and sleep.... Cuddles is "dancing with joy"...</p> <p>... I know you guys like your Cadbury chocolates, but I swear I am sending some "boiled peanuts" down under soon for comparison!... LOL</p> <p> MC, ... hang in there with FF.... some times it takes work, but if they're worth it, it will pay off.... you my friend, are definitely a fine person, to be loved and savored... I only hope FF can live up to the expectations of being worthy of your company!... Hugs </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458576 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:46:26 +0000 GreatDane 458576@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>(((MC))) I thought it sounded like he was bringing her up a lot, even before what you told us today. I'm surprised to hear it's been three years since he was divorced - it sounded like maybe it wasn't that long ago. I know when I started dating after breaking up with the live-in boyfriend I was supposed to marry, it took a long time to get over it and I know I was guilty of bringing him up a lot on dates. I went out with one guy who was recently divorced and all we did was compare exes. He was very nice and all, but neither one of us were ready to date yet.<br /> I'm glad FF is back talking with you today - that's a good sign. I do think he's worth working with as well, so hang in there. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458572 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:38:11 +0000 mollycat71 458572@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>They have been divorced three years now. She was married within a month and a half of the divorce. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458570 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:33:13 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 458570@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Sweet dreams, MCW! Glad you found at least one ping pong ball. MC, good to clear the air with FF and tell him how it all makes you feel being compared. How long has he been divorced now? I was once told that it takes half the amount of the marriage to heal/grieve. I was married three years so that means it will take me 1 1/2 years. I will be at the one year come next February. </p> <p>Work was very busy and I am happy to see that I have only 25 minutes till I get to leave w**k and go out into a mess of a commute as it is still pouring rain out. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458569 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:33:06 +0000 mollycat71 458569@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I have made mention of it before but last night for some reason it really got under my skin. I brought it up and he changed the subject so I brought it up again and he tried (unsuccessfully) to change it a THIRD time. Yes, I do hope he got the idea loud and clear. Hopefully we will go forward from here. I don't think he realizes how hurtful that is to me. I never compare him to any ex's I have. He was married ten years. Goodnight MCW </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458566 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:28:35 +0000 2 Popoki 458566@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>LOL @ MC - yes I agree, men are definitely bigger whiners ! Especially when they're sick !</p> <p>Excellent conversation MC. Manfriend and I don't seem to be able to hold a conversation for more than 15 minutes !</p> <p>I have spoken up about a particular phrase the Manfriend uses for the 3rd or 4th time now... and he never remembers the prior conversations. Frustrating </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458565 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:27:42 +0000 Dee 458565@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>If this is the first time you have spoken up about it, hopefully he will stop now...since he realizes that it is hurtful. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458562 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:24:11 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 458562@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>One ping pong ball located, the rest will have to remian missing in action til the morning (I suspect they are behind the sofa, they usually are, but we are NOT undertaking furniture removal at this time of night!). 'Tis bedtime here in the UK, good night one and all, see you tomorrow (day off, and already FULL of odd jobs, errands and another dreaded acupuncture appointment!) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458561 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:22:54 +0000 2 Popoki 458561@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I agree with Dee.... women do it too. Perhaps we are a bit better at doing it subversively LOL It's hard to not compare - especially if the marriage was a long one. Hopefully, the new would compare more favoarably than the ex. He/she is, afterall, the ex for a reason! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458560 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:18:58 +0000 mollycat71 458560@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yes Dee that is true. GD was inquiring about what happened last night with me and FF. But I still think men are bigger whiners! LOL </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458559 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:18:54 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 458559@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ping pong balls have a knack for disappearing into a black hole for ages and then returning months later at twice the number that were first lost. at least that how it seems to work in our house. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458558 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:18:03 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 458558@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>LOL at KK! So that's another TDKer to add to my emergency chocolate shipping list!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458557 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:15:53 +0000 Dee 458557@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Sorry to butt in on this topic, but most women do the same thing...especially when you first start dating after a break-up. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458555 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:15:01 +0000 KapitiKats in NZ 458555@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW! You are highly regarded by my British work colleague! I shared the Cadbury chocolate that you sent with Airy with her. Actually I got a NZ Cadbury fruit and nut bar and we did a blind taste comparison. She got the British one straight away - she had been craving for some British Cadburys! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458554 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:11:09 +0000 mollycat71 458554@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Chris is a good daddy! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458553 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:08:58 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 458553@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Even the good guys are rubbish sometimes...but if it's worth working for, and from what I've read of FF I'd agree with you it is, then I'm glad you seem to have got the message through. But no wonder you need a drink!!!</p> <p>Over on this side of the pond, my own "great 90% of the time" male specimen is helping Button find all her lost ping pong balls...and it's gone 11pm...! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458551 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:59:14 +0000 mollycat71 458551@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yes they sure keep wallowing in it even when they have something good (me!) right in front of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458548 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:55:34 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 458548@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Afternoon/morning all. It's an overcast day with rain forecast this afternoon. I've been in the garden planting zucchini and weeding ready for more summer fruiting plants to go in when I buy them. Shadz stayed out all night and came in at 6am and went straight to bed on Airy's bed. It's so cute, she loves having Airy home.<br /> Mmmmmmm rum, just a wee splash this way please, I have the coke ready and waiting.<br /> MC, it's like picking at a scab, you know you shouldn't and that it will hurt but you still pick at it. Men can't resist scabs. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458547 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:55:18 +0000 jeankit 458547@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MC,I didn't mean to butt in but I just want to agree with you! My friend RW has those same issues with his X! It got old real fast but he still brings her up on occasion! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458546 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:55:06 +0000 KapitiKats in NZ 458546@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Women may be from Venus but I SWEAR men are from that planet that begins with U not Mars! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458541 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:43:58 +0000 mollycat71 458541@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yeah GD, PLEASE! We were chatting on Yahoo last night and he said something AGAIN about his ex wife. I told him I was so sick and tired of always being compared to (and it seems like not measuring up to) his exwife. It's always "My ex-wife would have" or "my exwife would have worn..." and blah blah blah. Or the "When I was married I/we....." I told him to get over it! Its been three years since they were divorced and she was already sleeping around on him three years before the divorce. I know that hurt but it is what he told me. I reminded him that she had no problem getting over him as she got married almost immediately after the ink dried on their divorce. He then goes into a tirade about what would I know? I have never been married! WHAT? I have never been hurt or screwed over? YES, I have! We talked about some things very few people know about me. It was hard but necessary. I feel like he is worth working with so I shared. I told him it was her memory or me. I was not going to spend all my time with him reminiscing about his marriage that didn't work. I don't want to always be compared to her and not meet those standards. I really blew up and tore into him. I know he was hurt, I know she took him financially, but that is OVER. If he wants someone in his life, he has to move on. Build new memories, traditions and expectations. I think after chatting for 8.5 hours he got it. He just called and you would swear we never had that conversation last night. He was all happy go lucky and telling me about his yearly fire department exam and that on the way home his engine blew in his truck (he ended up buying a new one then!). Oh, I just don't understand men and their motives. Or why they get hung up on some women..... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987/page/2#post-458536 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:36:32 +0000 GreatDane 458536@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'll join you for a drink, MC.

I sure need one. Sorry things stink so bad right now GD! UGH! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21987#post-458483 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:00:22 +0000 GreatDane 458483@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>They keep telling me that they're not paying me the bonus until they get the check from the company I set them up with. XBF told me thy already filmed the segment - don't know why thye'd do that before getting the payment. It's past the 45 days they had to pay.<br /> I'm getting good nights of sleep and not so good. I had dog-sitting over the weekend and have been staying over with GG as well. e lives 5 minutes from the gym but 25 minutes from me so it's always a hassle tying to figure things out - getting Bobby his pill, working late etc. I was half an hour late for practice again this morning because I had half an hour drive to get to the tennis club. Better than sleeping with bed bugs at my place or without bed bugs in my car, though. </p>
