divorced men and women, and this may strike a deep chord with a few of them


BINGO ! Not upset, but I recognize it, for sure. When she served me with papers, most of our friends said “Wait - she’s leaving you?”.

I got so tired of the same scenario, if she wanted something from the store, I would ask for the empty package, to take with me, for comparison. One time, I went to the neighborhood pharmacy. Everything lined up on the two packages, except the color of the “Quality Seal” was gold, in the store, but silver, on the empty package. I trudged up to the pharmacist, to be sure, she looked at them, and explained “yes, we are a large chain, and get dedicated production runs, sometimes the same product comes in a slightly different package”. After thanking her, I took one of her business cards from the counter.

As was my habit, I put the original in the bag, sure enough, 15 minutes after I got home, I was lambasted for bringing home the gold seal. I repeated the explanation, to no avail; when I handed her the card, and told her to call “Carol” herself, she replied with “you are such an @$$h()le.

I remember being panicked when I couldn’t read the last item on her list. I asked a number of people who couldn’t read it either until we finally made out “milk”.

Seems pretty universal with women nowadays that they have to be in absolute control of everything thanks to feminism.

Pray America is waking

Wow.
At that point, as much as I'd want to unload with both anger-barrels, the best comment would be to utterly calmly and quietly say: Who are you? Who do you want to be? Because all I see is an ungrateful, ungracious person, full of ugly selfishness. Then turn around and walk away.
