You know...

...if you want to meet a “nice lady”, it's probably not a good idea to put this on your profile:

I’d like to find a nice lady that knows what she likes and don’t mind asking for it. Has to enjoy a slightly over sized, hung well, well you’ll just have to see for yourself...Anyone interested in seeing nude pics of me, email me and I’ll tell ya how.

Now, just in case you think, “Well, maybe I’d like to see his nude pics!” First, go to this link and see his picture...don’t worry, not a nude shot...but not exactly one that sweetens the pot either:

This perv wrote to me after reading my profile which reads:

Hi! Thank you for reading my profile. I am a soon to be divorced woman who is living in a state where I know no one and would like to meet someone nice to hang out with. I am about as honest a person as you will ever meet and I expect it in return. I am a very sweet and friendly person, I enjoy smiling and making others smile. I have done stand up comedy and I do work in movies, both are just hobbies that I enjoy. Outgoing and fun loving, I enjoy the same type of man. I go through life trying to do my best not to hurt anyone. I am on the look out for a very nice guy, I promise, if I find one, he will not finish last. I can be a little bit spoiled, but I am very reasonable and I show my appreciation well. I would love to meet a man who can still remember how to see the world through a child's eyes or at least one who is open to trying to remember. Once again, honesty is extremely important to me. By the way, I am not looking for any kind of casual sexual encounters...I tend to save that for a man who knows me and cares for me.

Where in that paragraph did I earn the privilege of hearing from that perverted old fart? I believe he may WANT a lady, but seriously, how did he get the idea that a woman who specifically excludes casual sex as an option think that he, Mighty “Hung Well” Man, would have a snowballs chance in hell?

Now, men, if you want a lady, act like you want a lady. If you want a VLB, keep up this kind of work. If it has to be said, ladies don’t get all ecstatic when a man offers to show them his, “slightly oversized, hung well”...member.

On the other hand, VLB might be interested. If you would like to meet her, she lurks in the anonymous comment section of this blog and she is always trying to prove that she and Vex are happy. You’ll know her from the atrociously moronic comments. And if you are married, that’s not a problem!!! If you are married, nasty, broke, unemployed, homeless or just a moron, there’s hope for you! Just post a comment with your email and I will get you in touch with her!

Well, this exhausted LADY would like to go to bed.

See ya!

Meg

OK, Auntie, how about another silly picture of me? I'm giddy with sleepiness and I must now go lie on my couch and fall asleep to the sounds of the 70's, thanks to broadband cable.Good night!

Posted by Hello

I found this article...

...and I thought it made some good points. Here are some types of men to steer clear of:


Guy #1: Mr. Angry-I’m-Divorced-TooHow to spot him: He’ll tell you within the first ten seconds that his wife ran off with her trainer. Or drained his bank account. Or both. And he can’t wait to hear all the ugly details of your divorce. Why he’s tempting: You have a common enemy: The ex. And a heated trash-your-ex session can get you all hot and bothered—in a good way.Why you should steer clear: If he’s still raging about how she did him wrong, he’s got, ahem, some issues to sort. “A lot of the divorced men I meet are eager to have ‘dump on your ex sessions,’ says Jennifer*, a 32-year-old who got married at 24 and divorced at 26. “But I steer clear of anyone who is harboring that much hostility toward their ex, because they obviously aren’t ready for a new relationship.”

VLB, YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THAT ONE!!!! A husband obsessed with his wife is not a good portent of things to come!

Guy #2: Mr. Best-Friends-with-His-ExHow to spot him: He’ll nonchalantly work her into conversations: “My ex thinks I should buzz my hair,” “When my ex and I were having lattes yesterday…” Why he’s tempting: He sounds so enlightened! You think you’ve stumbled upon the most forgiving guy in America. Why you should steer clear: Staying friendly after a breakup is a good thing, sure. But if his former wife still occupies the role of trusted advisor—Condoleezza to his George W.—beware. “This is a guy who’s still in love, plotting a comeback, or at least hoping for the possibility of breakup sex,” says Daily. “Pass on him.”

Guy #3: The PlayerHow to spot him: He’s the unusually friendly guy who makes effortless chit-chat, has expensive shoes and a good haircut—and is always ducking outside to talk on his cell. Why he’s tempting: You know how in tennis when you play with a great player, you don’t suck as much as when you play with a beginner? Same applies here. If your date is a smooth operator who’s never at a loss for words, you’ll feel more relaxed, witty, and confident, says Tessina.Why you should steer clear: Slick guys love dating. But they are less fond of relationships. If your pro dater has had a ton of five-minute partnerships, doesn't open up, or shies away from discussing personal details, “he probably won’t commit,” says Tessina.

Guy #4: The Dr. Phil CloneHow to spot him: He’s a close talker. And what other guy says, “And how did that make you feel?” Why he’s tempting: Counseling is expensive. Why not get it for free? Why you should steer clear: Your dates will soon feel like a therapy session, and that’s not romantic. But the real problem is Dr. Phil wannabes are happiest when you’re unhappy. So unless you want to play the role of despondent-damsel-in-distress to his caring-if-not-slightly-condescending professional, tell this guy to take a hike.

Guy #5: Mr. Crazy-PossessiveHow to spot him: When he hears you were married, he jokes, “Did he hurt you? Just say the word, and I’ll get the guy.”Why he’s tempting: “Jealousy can be flattering,” says Tessina. He wants you all to himself, which is an ego rush. Why you should steer clear: Intense jealousy is often a sign of emotional instability. “Controlling people are usually very smooth at first,” says Tessina. “But after they charm you into bonding to them, the control can turn very unpleasant, and even lead to stalking or abuse.” So consider yourself warned!

Guy #6: Ashton Kutcher’s Evil TwinHow to spot him: He spots you. And tells you you’re so much hotter than the 22-year-olds he has dated. You’re a single divorced mom? He acts like he won the lottery! Why he’s tempting: He’s got all his hair and still fits in his 32-waist jeans. Enough said.Why you should steer clear: So your 24-year-old babe says he “has a thing” for older women? “These guys are just looking for a booty call—they save the real love for women closer to their own age,” says New Yorker Joanne Morris, 40-something, who has dated several guys in their mid-twenties. “One guy tried to talk me into meeting him at a hotel, which he graciously suggested I pay for. I declined!” But the kicker was when she invited a 25-year-old “friend” home for the weekend, and it turned out he had more in common with her 20-year-old son than with her. “They spent the whole weekend together—skateboarding!” Lisa Lombardi is a New York-based writer and editor.

Recently...

...I read somewhere that online dating is losing it’s “bad rap” as a step above a honky-tonk, some might even say a step below, as a place for meeting people. According to the article, couples who’ve met online are no longer stigmatized when they answer the question, “Where did you two meet?” I’m beginning to think that it's true. In going through some of the profiles and while meeting a few people in this way, I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the quality of people who are attempting to find “true love” online. Of course, many others have far different motives (unfortunate as that may be), but I'm not talking about them. I'm referring to the decent, unattached people who are simply trying to meet someone to spend time with, the kind of people who truly want to find a companion, friend, or spouse.

I haven’t found “love”, but then again, I haven’t been looking for love. I have had the pleasure of spending a few nights with some very pleasant company, I’ve gone to some wonderful restaurants and I’ve even made a friend. The first person I met online was not in any position to enter a relationship, but he was great friend material and I now have a really good friend. That alone made it worth the effort, good friends are hard to find.

There is one man whom I’ve yet to meet but we have had some nice conversations online and I look forward to meeting him sometime.

There were a couple of duds, though, I must admit. I met one guy in a restaurant here in town and we had a nice time. Somewhere during the conversation, he made a comment and I joked with him, saying something along the lines of, “I don’t sleep with anyone before the third date.” I don’t remember what prompted that but trust me, it was simply a funny retort and it meant nothing. Well, after we finished our drink and some very pleasant conversation, we walked to our cars and said good-bye. A few days later he called and asked if I was “ready for our SECOND date”. Well, I didn’t think we had even had ONE date, just a relatively quick meeting. But, no matter, I thought, “Sure, what did you have in mind?” He said, “Do you like movies?” I said yes even though I don’t really enjoy them that much because I'm night blind. My eyes don’t accommodate to the change of light into dark so if I have to go to the ladies room, the movie is over. I can’t see to find my seat again. Anyway, when I said yes, this fool asked me if I had a VCR or DVD player. I laughed and said, “If I have to host the date, it’ll be $500.” Then I hung up on him. Like I said before, I am not going to waste my time on anybody who doesn’t plan on treating me well. I don’t ask much, just your everyday niceties and some common courtesy.

Then there was the guy that I swear had been born a woman. I have absolutely NO homosexual tendencies and I don’t care if you can LEGALLY changed yourself into a man...that’s just a bit too close for me. NOT THAT THERE’S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT! It’s just not for me.

But, all around, the men have been pretty nice. Not one of them has made any moves on me and not one of them has treated me poorly. None of them have met me in an old beater of a car. They all have good jobs and most of them were business owners. I guess they really don’t have the time to look around too much so the internet is a pretty good option for them. And it’s a pretty good option for me because I don’t get out too much and except for church, there aren’t too many places that I go where there even ARE any men. Actually, it’s worked out perfectly for me so far because all I wanted to do anyway, if you remember, was to go out with a lot of guys once or twice. So, that’s the way it has worked out. I meet them once and go out to dinner once or twice. Some I never see again and some I am still phoning or emailing...I think a few are waiting for my divorce to become final if you know what I mean. :)

There have truly been a few gems...remember the guy who called an audible and repaired my door when he saw that my house had been broken into and my door couldn’t be secured. He even came back with a drill and installed a new door knob and dead bolt lock. Another guy installed (and paid for!) motion detector lights. One guy fixed my oven and a few have been nice enough to offer to mow my lawn. I have never asked any of them to do anything, they just see the situation that I'm in and they offer to help. Isn’t that sweet?

So, I see no reason to change my plans in the foreseeable future, this is nice. One of these days I may meet someone very special. But I’m not in any hurry. I kind of like my life the way it is and I am so thankful for all the genuinely nice guys that I have met.

You know, they have treated me so well that they are undoing some of the damage that was done during the marriage. Years of degradation can make you accept some seriously atrocious treatment. It is utterly appalling what a person will not only accept, but fear losing. I held onto that marriage, literally for dear life and I can’t for the life of me understand why. I allowed another person to manipulate me and turn me into a pathetic entity that I didn‘t recognize. The manipulation was so insidious, that I didn’t see it happening. Before I knew it, a very confidant, happy woman was turned into an insecure, needy shell of her former self.

Certainly this blog has helped in many, many ways. By the way, VLB, a blog is defined thusly:

1. web log: a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences

2. a public web site where users post informal journals of their thoughts, comments, and philosophies

3. An online journal, published frequently (often daily). Readers can post comments on each journal entry. Some blogs gain a wide readership, such as this one:

http://brianandthetruth.blogspot.com/

So, you see, my blog is a journal that I keep about myself. I apologize if you think that I use the words “I” and “me” too much. The entire purpose is to write about me and my thoughts. That doesn’t make me “self absorbed”, it makes me a blogger because:

“The author of a blog is often referred to as a blogger.”

And in review, a blog is:

A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts

Try to think about that. Also, if a normal person found a blog to be offensive, they wouldn’t come back to it 50 times a day. But you, on the other hand, go to an enormous amount of effort to come here and read every word I write just to comment about how bad it is. I believe that makes you something less than normal.

(THIS PARAGRAPH HAS BEEN REMOVED UPON THE ADVICE OF GUY...AND WITH GOOD REASON)

Which brings me back to online dating. One of the guys I met is a network administrator. How handy is that?

Have a lovely evening!

Meg Kelso

Meg...

... sounds like an exciting weekend on the blog. I was out of town, so I missed all the unintentional comedy.

And I thought about you the ENTIRE time! I kept thinking, “Man, when Guy gets back on Tuesday, he is NOT going to believe this!” And...I was right!

Most women that I meet definitely want to be married at some point, but most seem to be more interested in being married than in who they are married to. It's like the guy is just a facilitator of the status they are trying to achieve ("married").

Sadly, you are right. There are far too many young girls who feel very insecure and think that marriage will solve all of their problems. The only answer to that is to raise our daughters with a healthy self esteem. Praise them everyday, tell them how smart, pretty, talented, they are. Tell them how much you love them and that you will ALWAYS be there for them. We should do that for our sons as well, but it’s the girls who get pregnant early or sleep with anybody who asks them.

I've also met plenty of guys who seemed to get married because they were unable to say no.

Once again, Guy, you are right. We need to raise our sons to respect themselves and women. We should see to it that they are not exposed to violence towards women, yet we have to raise them not to be intimidated by them either. That’s a fine line and a task that I am glad I am done with.

The public is fed these fairytale myths about love and romance by the television for hours on end each week, and people confuse television with reality. There's this idea that conversation will always be witty, kisses will always be passionate and the laundry will always be folded and put away.

You are so right. TV doesn’t show the wives scrubbing skid marks out of a man’s underwear nor do they show us first thing in the morning. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a soap opera where a woman says, “Damn, I am so bloated and bitchy today.” TV is what it is, fantasy. And it’s a fantasy that totally keeps out the unattractive side of relationships. There are many unattractive things about any marriage and people should think about those options in the first place. Unfortunately, the “honeymoon phase” of a new relationship doesn’t last for long. Imagine Gail’s life when that part of her relationship is over. There will come a day when she will say, “Oh my gosh, I should have listened to you.” Everything you could ever want to know about Vex is here, but she keeps on defending him. She has to. But when she gets bored of playing games on the computer and Vex gets bored with her, life will not look as rosy as it does right now. She is a perfect example of how ignorant a person can be regarding the bad side of their love interest. I’m only sorry that I won’t be there to say, “I told you so.” I guess I should be happy just to know that the broad is a nut. Not many wives get to learn so much about their husband's mistresses.

But I still think "would it have worked out?" Oh well...

Oh girl, we all think that. And the thought gets us through some pretty rough times. BUT...I made the mistake of having lunch with the “one that got away”. Not only did it remind me WHY I let him go, it totally ruined all my nice little fantasies. I think that the guy who wrote the following is more on track:

I was pretty wild in my early teens, and when I met my wife, she made me want to be a better person. Think about this about the person you want to marry, Do they make you want to be a better person? Do you make them want to be?

Exactly. You almost have to experience this before you know exactly what it means but this man is absolutely correct.

Apparently, Vex’s little nit wit doesn’t get this because she certainly isn’t trying to be a “better person” at all. She is trying to slam me with what she sees as hurtful comments but she is only making an idiot out of herself. One of her comments said that Vex left because I smoked and ate onions. We both smoked when we met and we both quit. And, THEN we got married so he couldn’t have left for those reasons. Yeah, I ate onions, but I had to kill his halitosis somehow. Besides, I don’t think onion eating is grounds for divorce.

It wouldn’t matter what I did, I could eat onions, peppers, or even God forbid, Brussels sprouts. If a person wants out of a marriage, there is a way to go about it. You don’t just cheat on your spouse until they find out and divorce you, you tell them that it’s over. Now, I realize that it takes some degree of courage and I realize that VEX is spineless, but he could have just left while I was at work. He didn’t have to stay and share a bed with me. I wouldn’t have ever been angry if he left in a respectful, honorable way. Perhaps hurt, but not angry. This blog is not in response to being left, it is in response to the lies and cheating and the violence. Vex weighs over 200 pounds and I weigh just over 100 pounds. What possible excuse could he have had for that? Gail?

Anyway, he is out of my life and my life is getting better everyday! I have a trip to Vermont this week and I am going to Australia next fall. I may go to Saudi Arabia this summer, but I don’t know if I really want to go there. And, remember, my birthday is coming up and I can’t wait to show you my present!

See ya!

Meg Kelso

Auntie made a comment...

...that I thought should be addressed. She is right, people don’t THINK enough before they get married. Hell, my first two marriages involved no more thought than I put into some of these posts. It would certainly help if people knew each other for some time first but I knew Vex for 6 years and I still screwed up.

It appears as though some people marry the first person who is willing to marry them. I know I did that. I was only 18 at the time and no one ever told me a thing about marriage. Hell, my “sex talk” with my mother went something like this:

Mom: When people are in love, they lie very close to each other.

Me: You mean like when grasshoppers hop together? (I had just seen two grasshoppers hopping, one of them was on the other’s back)

Mom: Yes.

Then she fell asleep. When I was 15, we had a built in swimming pool and my friends would come over all the time to swim in it. A guy named Fred and I were sunning in the yard after swimming and he started to kiss me. He rolled over on top of me as we were making out when all of a sudden I remembered what my mother had told me. I pushed him off of me and started crying. I thought I was preggers for sure. He hadn’t even touched a tit, much less anything else. But I thought that you got pregnant by “lying very close” to a man. When my daughter was 8, I took my nursing books and explained everything to her, WITH pictures. I wouldn’t have necessarily done it then except she started asking questions. I didn’t want her to be as shocked as I was when I first had sex. I said something along the lines of:

“You want to do what with that? Where? I don’t think so. It couldn’t possibly fit.”

Well, we have fixed that problem, all the kids know exactly what to do nowadays. But, we haven’t taught them a thing about marriage, unless you count the disposable nature of marriage that is permeating every part of our society. I have no answers to that one except to set by example. We need to talk to our kids about marriage like we do about drugs. (At least I hope we are talking about drugs to them!)

Kids do listen to their parents. Maybe not right away, but things that my father taught me are still ingrained in my mind and I often refer back to some of his advice when confronted with a situation where I have to make a decision. When he WAS talking to me as a kid, I hated to listen. But I am so grateful that he kept on talking anyway. He will never know how much he has taught me. I can only pray that one day, my kids will say the same about me.

Meg

Meg...

...Focus on your health, not him...or her. Leave em' in the trailer park with the rest of the trash. Do, however, take everything he's got!

LOL, Woman, I hear ya roaring. Trust me, I am taking care of myself. But I need to have some fun every so often and this thing is very fun to me. Also, being as cathartic as it is, I believe it is in my care plan! I would hate to leave this world without having my say!

Unfortunately, he has nothing. He came into this marriage with a beat up car and a Bicentennial Pepsi bottle. He left with a slightly better car and no Pepsi bottle. Of course, there is that alimony thing, which he offered.

I would hate to be the woman who has to help pay the bills as he sends me $800 every month. Personally, I didn’t mind the child support he paid throughout most of our marriage, I respected that. But, if he had been paying alimony, it would have bugged me to no end.

I’ve heard people say, “He can leave, but after you are done with him, leave him in a situation where no one else would want him.” Well, his options are a bit limited. No self respecting working woman would want him at this point. But, if he stuck to women with self respect, he and I would still be married, sadly. So, all in all, I’ve got to thank the nit wit who took him. I thought my life would end if he left. Well, I was wrong. Not only am I still here, my life is better than it has been in 20 years! I don’t blame anyone but myself for marrying Vex, I knew how good life could be but I traded it all in for him...and I did it after contemplation! I knew he had nothing, but like I said before, my ex had plenty but he spent it on other women. So, I actually thought that a man with nothing was worth having because he couldn’t afford another woman. I just forgot how cheaply some of them come. Oh well, mea culpa.

Talk about "Hear me roar!"

Meg

Meg,

...this isn't nice. You have to be posting these anonymous comments as a joke.I mean, I understand that someone is stupid enough to be having a child with a married man as ugly as vex. But come on, could she possibly be stupid enough to post on your blog with such poor spelling and grammar and expect to be taken as anything but hillbilly trailer trash?Good thing she was checking her spelling, else she would have misspelled "anonymous" as "anonimous" at the end of her comment. I mean, it's not like a reasonably intelligent person would do that with it spelled out for them on the comment page as an option.

First of all, “anonymous” is right there for them to read when they are making a comment. Second of all, I had nothing to do with them! Thirdly, who in the world ever said we were dealing with a halfway intelligent person?! But, nope, it was not I, as a matter of fact, I spent all weekend deleting about 100 comments. I left the particularly funny ones up and just trashed the rest.

Now, let me say this. I have no way of knowing who was doing it. All I know is that is was someone who had some semi-accurate information about me and judging from the effort they put into it, someone who is very angry at ME in particular. Earlier I compared it to a murder where the victim was “over killed”, most people who just don’t appreciate this thing leave one nasty comment and leave. They don’t spend hours on me.

I know they are ridiculous and I assure you, the only time I ever did that was with “Roger”. Oh, no, was it Kevin? I forget. Anyway, it was when I had that phantom dude going on. I haven’t done that since. I don’t need to make anyone look worse by posting fake comments. They look pretty bad all by themselves. I promise...it wasn’t me. So, laugh all you want, they were real!

I googled and found out that CFNM stands for "clothed female naked male". I wasn't courageous enough (nor willing to deal with a likely "pop-up hijacking") so I didn't click-through on anything to find out specifics.

Ick, ick, ick. Alrighty then! I know what CFNM is. And, I wish I didn't! I didn't even know that was an option. What do you call woman who like to dress in men's clothing?

I really liked that movie. I agree that it was pretty slow, but I thought it did an excellent job of chronicling the life of a very interesting historical figure.

Yeah, the story was slow but like you, I wanted to see it. Once again, they did a great job with a slow story, the acting and costumes and sets were absolutely first class. It (The Aviator) was certainly worth the time.

Say, I know I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Do you even know what you're talking about, anonymous? LOL

I wasn’t so sure myself. I wasn’t sure if it was the nut that spent his/her weekend obsessing on this blog or a normal person just making a comment.

The guy in the background makes the photo, in my opinion. A true classic. LOL

Yep. I have to wonder if it is the same guy she is looking to cheat on. Damn, I feel badly for him. Now, you KNOW I didn't do that one, it is on the plentyoffish.com site. If you have ever met a moron, you should have no reason to doubt that there are people stupid enough to write those posts, LOL.

If you are a woman and want to cheat, the opportunities will throw themselves at you. If you are a guy and want to, you will have to go look for it, hence these losers posting ads.

Yeah, you’re right. I hadn’t thought about that. I lost count of the guys who hit on me in 1974. I have heard men say, “Sure women can get some whenever they want to.” That’s nice on one hand but one the other, most of them are icky. If we count the guys who hit on us that we would WANT to have hit on us, the numbers become a little bit closer to the women who hit on the men.

I almost spit out my soda laughing when I read that comment.

I wish I could take credit for it. But I’ve heard my father use it over the years. I don’t even think he started it but there are most certainly times when it is appropriate.

My marriage isn't for public consumption. It's a connection I have with this one other person on the planet, and it isn't right to share those private details with others, because they are ours. Ours. No dirty details... it's just private. I respect the space we've created for each other. It's a safe place for each of us.

Yep, I understand completely. I thought I had one of those marriages as well. Imagine my surprise! But, when it was betrayed, along with my trust, all of the respect I had for him and our marriage went out the window. As a matter of fact, it was the betrayal of this respect that prompted this blog. I took all of the broken promises and the pain and wrote this thing. He could have ended the marriage in a more decent manner, but he chose to treat the marriage as less than valuable. In doing so, he proved that we had no such relationship worthy of respect. So, I lost my respect for it as well. When he broke the vows, he tacitly “annulled” the marriage, so there was no marriage to consider. If he had felt about marriage the way you do, Auntie, none of us would be here. But, we are. and I am doing what I want to do, damned the torpedoes!

Well, I’ll be back after I have sucked coffee for a while.

See ya soon,

Meg

Now I've seen it all...

...a web site for bored women to go and pay for a man to "escort" them. You've got to see this...the headline reades, "When monogamy becomes monotony". Unbelievable:

http://cwww.ashleymadison.com/app/public/index.p

Oh well, I'll just have to join this one undercover and see what's up.

Good night!

Meg

Meg...

...It is a sorry state of affairs when divorce rates and the number of single parents sore. It is an indication of our ever growing immoral society....If only "till death do us part" meant something. I'm still waiting for miss right...

Well, she’s out there, you just have to go through a bunch of Miss Wrongs, just like we women have to kiss those frogs. It’s so sad that the adults can’t manage to work on their marriages. Once again, that “If it feels good, do it” mentality that is possessed by weak people who would prefer to take the path of least resistance. What are we teaching our kids? How can they ever be expected to respect marriage vows when the parents, for the most part, don’t teach them by example. Well, I guess they are teaching them, but by setting poor examples. Thank you for your input...I appreciate it. If anyone would like to visit this man’s blog, here is the link:

http://specialcopper.blogspot.com/

Now, this man is from England, so don’t think he is misspelling words, they just spell things a little differently over there.

The idea of sticking out the bad times of a marriage is no longer fashionable. When a person of such high public status as Brad Pitt says that the entire idea of marriage being forever is a tough one for him, he makes it a little bit harder for our younger generation to respect that "until death do us part" thing themselves. And, from what I’ve seen online alone, there are far too many ways to cheat and far too many people who are willing. As bad as it is when you meet someone outside of the marriage by happenstance and use that, “It just happened” excuse, it is absolutely stunning how many married people are out there actively seeking a cheating partner. Pre-meditated cheating is all around us. The men who are doing this are doing so in a fearless manner, broadcasting their pictures and profiles as though they have no fear whatsoever. And, the lack of respect that they have for women in general is apparent in the advertisements that they put out there. What kind of woman would be wooed by this kind of man:

On our first date I would start by eating your pussy then getting my dick sucked. Then I would you until your eyes rolled in the back of your head and nut on your face. On the second date its going in your ass.

Now, I didn’t make that up, I got it straight out of this man’s profile under, "My idea of the perfect first date". This man has a wife out there, naively loving her husband and totally unaware that he is associating with women who would, A. even consider dating a married man and, B. consider this an appealing idea. No wonder STD’s are all over.

Now, if that freak isn't bad enough, check out this man’s description of himself:

52 year old male looking for fun and excitement. I have lots of interests. I would love to have a CFNM experience. If you don't know what that is, ask me. I also like dressing up like a girl at times. I am not gay or bi, but straight. Just like the turn on of dressing up. I am not passable, but do it at home. Would love to dress up for you. If you have girlfriends invite them too for fun. Will clean houses for free in the nude for free, but only for women.

I don’t even know what a “CFNM experience” is, and I don’t think I want to. But this guy comes up in a search for MEN...most women looking for a man would probably balk at the idea of someone in a dress.
The amazing audacity that they possess is astonishing. They put their pictures up for the entire world to see, and then assume that their wives will never see them. I am going to post a few pictures of married men who don’t seem to mind being seen at the end of this post.

Now, I certainly realize that there are women who are just as despicable, so don’t think I am just picking on the men...as a matter of fact, to be fair, I will go and get a few pictures of married women who don’t seem to mind having their faces all over the world for all to see.

What a shame that people don’t realize the immense happiness that comes from that one true love of their life. At the first rocky road, so many take off. Not only do they lose so much themselves, but they have stolen the opportunity for a lifelong marriage from the person who believed them at the alter. And of course, the children involved are no more than "collateral damage".

I would love to hear from people who have had a wonderful marriage, tell us how you did it or how your parents did it. If you have any ideas that you’d like to share about how the love was kept alive, please let us know. You might teach somebody something and as a result, you could be responsible for creating another long and happy marriage. I can’t imagine a better gift to give.

After looking for those married nimrods and their pictures...I must say, the men do outnumber the women by FAR! That’s to be expected I suppose. There were so many that I had to quit after a few. If you would like to see all the married fools and what they have the nerve to say, go to plentyoffish.com...do an advanced search and put in that you are a man looking for a woman (or vice versa) and then check married and enter your state and city or just the state. For comic value alone, it’s a fun way to kill some time.

Of course, it is also very sad.

Well, here’s hoping that you don’t find your own spouse on that thing!

Meg

Ah. It’s been an interesting weekend...

...hasn’t it? Well, it’s almost over and now it’s time to get things back to normal. I had plans today but they were cancelled which is just as well because I wanted to iron my kitchen curtains. But, then, I had to go help May so I didn’t even get to do that. Now, I have to run out again but I shouldn’t be gone for too long. When I get back, I will complete this post. With any luck at all, I will find a computer where I am going so that I can write from there. One way or another, I am going to be back soon.:)

(My kitchen window is naked right now and I am a little nervous that someone can see me. Oh, a friend of mine called to say that he had downloaded my ass onto his computer. I hadn’t thought of that. I had better not find out that my ass is on anybody’s screen saver! I put it there to prove a point, not to be...well, whatever it is you do with such stuff.)

Well, I need to get on the road, but I’ll be back soon.

There! I'm back! A moth just flew at my forehead and freaked me out. I hate bugs. Oh my God, I hate bugs. Did you know that spiders just drop down from the ceiling hanging by little web strings? I can't help but think that, at one time or another, a spider has landed on me while I slept. I hate that thought. Bugs are the reason why I couldn't be blind. I would know that sooner or later, I would eat a bug. We eat bugs as it is, did you know that the government actually has an acceptable limit as to how many bug parts are allowed in food? Who went to that meeting? I would like to know.

Anyway, I was speaking with a friend, and he mentioned that there was a tribe of people in Africa that has a man who's job it is to service widows, whether they like it or not. Apparently, it releases the spirit of the husband or something like that. Anyway, my friend said something about a woman who didn't want to be serviced and laughed as though any woman shouldn't enjoy the sex act. When I said, "No, we don't enjoy it if we aren't into it", he was actually stunned. He didn't know that women do not ALWAYS enjoy sex. He asked, "Couldn't you GET into it?" I said, "No, if we don't like you, we couldn't get into it. Most of our enjoyment is in our brains."

It actually took some convincing. I had to repeat that. "NO, dude, we do NOT enjoy it if we're not into it." I added, "It isn't painful unless it's violent, but we actually don't feel a thing if we aren't into it." He couldn't grasp that fact. I told him that I realized that men always find it to be a pleasurable sensation whether they care about the woman or they don't. He did not realize that women didn't work that way. Now, he is not a moron, at least I'm pretty sure that he isn't. So I was wondering if there might not be other men out there who thought that we always enjoyed the sex act in the same way that they do. If so, let me tell you, women don't always find sex to be a pleasurable sensation. That's why some women can just lie there and do nothing. That's also how we can go for long periods of time without it.

I refuse to have that kind of sex. That's just asking for trouble. And therefore, it isn't very difficult at all for me to go without it. Every so often I have a sudden wave of libido that hits me out of nowhere, but I am always alone when that happens. So, it hasn't been much of a challenge. At first, I refrained from sex because I didn't trust myself. Now it's because I've thought about it and I don't want to be used. The only sure way to prevent that is to just keep it to myself. I'll know when the time is right. I'm not at all worried about it.

I just thought about something. That's why it didn't occur to me that my backside would be anything more than a snub at someone else. I admit that I was glad I that I had those pretty lace panties on underneath the shorts, but I never thought about it any further than that. What a woman just thinks are pretty things, a man finds sexy. So, a man usually assumes we are doing something to be seductive when we are really just trying to surround ourselves with pretty things. Not that we are totally stupid, but it can take us a minute where a man would see the sexual nature of something immediately. But, sooner or later, we pick up on it. And of course, some of us are a little quicker than others. I don't think that men and women are TOO far apart, I just think that we need to talk about ourselves a little bit. And THAT'S why I'm here. Alrighty then.

Meg

Brad Pitt: I Still Love Jen and I Still Want a Divorce

"Hunky star Brad Pitt is featured in GQ’s upcoming issue and finally begins to shed some light on his upcoming divorce with soon to be ex, Jennifer Aniston. Reports from those who have previewed the upcoming piece say that he is mostly quiet on his new rumored flame Angelina Jolie.

But he does open up a bit on his views on marriage. "The idea that marriage has to be for all time -- that I don't understand," Pitt says in the interview.

I can see that--who does? That whole death do us part thing is probably a bit overrated. What a shock that he is getting a divorce."

I found this article online (it was written by Chris Bergman and you can read the entire thing at:

http://www.nationalledger.com/scribe/archives
/2005/05/brad_pitt_i_sti.shtml

So, they have a problem with the foreverness of marriage? Duh. That's the point. For such a talented person, Pitt is a bit of a nit wit. If this is indicative of the mentality that Hollywood has toward marriage, no wonder they can't seem to get it right.

Meg

I won, you lost. You can have his money, I have his baby.
Is that a herpy sore I see on your lip? It looks like it hurts. Ouch!
For someone supposedly so smart and sure of herself, you are beginning show your true colors. Hope you can keep deleting the truth fast enough so the newspaper reporter doesn't see the TRUTH...

I told you that I wasn’t going to give you a forum, you can say anything you’d like to, but I won’t let you use my blog to do it from. Oh, FORUM is another new word isn’t it? Look it up. Once again, I am going to use everything you say to my advantage. If you feel as though you have won something, good for you. But you know, for someone so happy, you seem to be rather obsessed with me. Where is Vex? Has he run out on you? Is that where all of this anger is coming from? You see what you want to see, everybody else looks at that picture and sees an attractive woman, you see a “herpy” sore, oh well. Vex had his opportunity to speak to the reporter, I am sure she will be fair in her article. Since you are so proud of yourself, I am sure that you’d like for your fans to know where they can reach you. Let’s see, 11 Colony Ln., Kennesaw, Georgia. Right behind the Quik-Trip. Address your letters to Gail Glenn or Rick Kelso...fourth trailer on the left. :)

Now that she has admitted it (before the divorce is final, by the way) I am done with her. That's exactly what I wanted to see and once again, she has walked right into it. What a pliable wench she be!!!!


Meg

The strands are coming undone...only a matter of time before the whole dress falls apart. Keep up the blog, we're having a blast!;)

Will do, I’m getting into it pretty much myself! As you might be able to see, I have nothing to hide. :) Once again, I’d like to thank the nimrod who is entertaining us all. She posted 15 comments in an hour...I’d say she’s a bit obsessed and she doesn’t even see how much she is helping me! I love it.

So, what else have you got? Hit me with your best shot.

Meg Kelso

Here's a close up, what scars? Now girl, let's see some of you!

Posted by Hello

Actually, I think it's a cute little nose.

Posted by Hello

Here's my bottom, I wouldn't say it was fat, girl. Now what else have you got?

Posted by Hello

Oh Rick...

...what have you done? You poor thing, you’ve hooked up with an idiot. I assume that you know it now but I am surprised that you can’t keep a tighter reign on her. I would have thought that you were at least bright enough to want to keep the nutcase out of the public eye. I suppose there’s always the possibility that I have OVER-estimated your intelligence. Of course, there’s also the possibility that you are just plain pussy-whipped and you can’t control her. I imagine it would be tough to hold back a moron who thinks she is zapping me with her comments. Don’t you see this for what it is? Everybody else does. Oh well, good luck, dude. I think you’re going to need it.

Oh, here is another question from her:

You said that you were married in Reno. Did your Aunt Jean live in Reno?

No. She lived in Petaluma. She has passed away. thanks for your concern.


You know, this blog has received over a thousand hits in 12 hours. I guess I owe those two nit wits a debt of gratitude so, thanks! Like I said before, I couldn’t make this stuff up, it’s perfect. The timing couldn’t be better, what with the newspaper about to publish this thing and all. This is just about the best thing that could have happened and I didn’t have to do a thing, it was a gift! And, with Vex JUST paying May 1rst’s alimony payment, he is 30 days in arrears and if he is one more day overdue, he is in contempt and is violating the restraining order, all while he is on probation for the domestic violence things he pled guilty to. So, I am pretty sure that, for the time being at least, the alimony will be coming on a regular basis so I am golden!

I can’t tell you what it is yet, but I am getting a really, really, good birthday present. I want to tell you, but I can’t. You’ll understand why when I do tell you. My birthday is at the end of June and the divorce should be final by then so you will know soon enough anyway.

Well, my friend Kay needs me so I have to go over to her house to help her with some things but I will be back soon. I hope you are all having a great holiday weekend!

Meg Kelso

Yeah, Meg,

isn't it amazing how much a woman can do when she is unattached and focused on her own life.
When we're younger our parents trains girls to need a man, want a man, and depend on a man. In many ways I am my own man. I am self made because I also chose to ignore the voices that would dictate my actions. I champion your discovery of the power of honesty and wish you well.
You go girl! and never look back with regret!

Thanks, and nope, I don’t regret a thing. Well, if I could do it over again, I wouldn’t have drank so much when I was in my twenties, but hell, that was fun too. And yes, some of us most certainly ARE raised to depend on someone else.

When I was in junior high, the girls took home economics and the boys took shop. The schools were telling us what we needed to learn. When I asked what we should do about college as a junior in high school, I was told that, “We have three sons to put through college, if we spent that money on you, you would just end up married and pregnant so it would be a waste.” So, I decided to go into the Army. After taking all of the tests, I decided to tell my parents before I signed on the dotted line. I was told, “If I thought that a daughter of mine had nothing better to do with her life than go into the Army, I would be highly disappointed." So, do you know what I did after high school? I eloped to Reno with a guy I had only known for ten days and I immediately became pregnant. And when he cheated on me what did I do? I left him and met another one by whom I did become pregnant and I had to get married again.

I don’t blame anyone else for the things that I did, not one bit. I am sure they would change some things if they could but for the time, it was the proper thing to do. They honestly felt that they were doing the right thing.

But it showed me what NOT to do with a little girl. I raised my daughter to assume she was going to college. She is 25, single, beautiful and she takes care of herself. She has never and would never date a married man and she has never become pregnant. She is charming, bright, funny and like I said, she is a beautiful woman. I am so proud of her.

My parents were doing the right thing for the times that they were living in. But society changed just about that time and all of us who were raised to be sweet little housewives found ourselves in a world were women were expected to be “liberated”. I never asked to be liberated, those women took me with them to a place that I never wanted to go along in the first place. They said we should all be free to do whatever we wanted and then they made a mockery of the role that many of us were raised to fulfill.

I think things are changing quite a bit now. I hope so, anyway. I hope that we are raising our daughters to take care of themselves. Those self sufficient women will never have to stay with an abusive liar, they will know that they can take care of themselves and their kids. If the women are self sufficient enough, the men might tend to think twice before cheating or being abusive. We can always hope anyway.

Gail, you don’t have to like it, but Kelso is my name. Your married boyfriend gave it to me. Twice. I have to go by it...DUH! When the divorce is final, I will have my maiden name back but since it bothers you so much, I may just keep using this one for public purposes. Yeah, actually, I think I will. Thanks for the clue. If there is anything else that is bothering you, let me know. I will do THAT some more too. As far as some of your other accusations are concerned, I believe you have been misinformed. But that’s OK, if it makes you happy, have a party. Vex told me that you were just a nut who wouldn’t leave him alone. Are we going to believe everything that he says? If so, we are in for a world of hurt. Have a lovely day sweetie.

This photo shows that you are indeed absolutely radiant. Might I add bright, witty, articulate, attractive and very classy as well?

Why, yes you may, Kyle. And might I say, you have impeccable taste. :)

Meg Kelso

Meg...

...watch me spell all words right, smart alecky!...blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...yes, Im anonimous

You know, I couldn’t make up some of this stuff. Of course, I appreciate hearing from people who are reading this thing. But usually, they are bright, thoughtful, articulate people. Recently, though, it seems like every harebrained loser with access to a keyboard is writing to me. I truly have done my best to stay on topic and I am very grateful to the commentators (is it commentator, as my father feels, or is it commenter, as I feel? I tend to go with Dad‘s way because he is usually right.) because they make me think, they make me feel a sense of community and they add to the blog in so many ways. If I made money off of this thing, I think I’d have to give Guy a cut. There are a few others who would have claim to a share as well. But I must say, that for the comic relief if nothing else, these whackos are adding quite a bit themselves. For that, I thank them.

Well, I received the alimony money order today. Tuesday he would have been in contempt. This is actually a good thing because now, he is 30 days behind. The courts won’t take action until he is 30 days in arrears. So, from here on out, should he be one day late on a payment, he is automatically in contempt and things will not go well for him. Therefore, I am pretty sure that the money orders will begin arriving on a regular basis now. Cool.

I am still going to be late with the rent, but the landlord likes me and is very sympathetic to my plight. Last year when Vex left, I told the landlord that I wouldn’t be able to stay because I couldn’t afford the place. Well, he told me that I could and would afford it, one way or another. The man refused to take my notice. Anyway, he was right. I couldn’t even tell you how I’ve done it, but I am still here. I still can’t afford it but I can’t afford to move either so I really, really sweat it everyday. But, I AM still here. He was one of many people who wrote unsolicited letters on my behalf. The prosecutor was a very good guy, I believe. I have been very lucky to have many friends who have been waiting anxiously for an opportunity to speak on my behalf. That makes me feel very good. If it weren’t for people like this, I don’t know how I would have made it through this entire ordeal. Thank God that the landlord is so understanding. Aw hell, it’s been late every month so I guess it’s on time. I’m just thankful that he charges me no late fees. (AND that he never saw those hundreds of cans of used motor oil that Vex left under the house.)

Anyway, a friend of mine gave me an early birthday present of $200 to buy clothes with today. I went to the mall and shopped. I felt badly spending the money on myself when I have so many bills to pay but I have nothing appropriate for any of the functions that I will be attending in Vermont. I’ve got the fishing trips covered, but I can’t do semi-formal right now. Well, I couldn’t, until today. It’s cooler up there so the clothes that I needed were on the clearance racks here in Georgia. I love a good sale! I couldn’t believe what I got for that $200. I should have held some of it back, my fishing rod is rusted and rotted because I haven’t been fishing in years. If Vex didn’t enjoy it, we didn’t do it. I have a good tackle box that I got from my cousin, but I have no rod. So, that’s a problem. But, as Scarlet O'Hara said, “I’ll worry about that tomorrow.”

By the way, I am updating that post regarding blogs and how to start one, promote one and how to add some bells and whistles...all for free. You might want to check it occsionally if you are blogging. Here is the direct link to that post:

I made it through another day and I'm still smiling!

Posted by Hello

Meg...

...Just call me NotHimorHer though anonymous...I'd never heard of Maggie as a nick for Margaret but have known of several Megs...go figure!

LOL, that’s good enough. I’ll just shorten you to Not. Hi, nice to meet you, Not. LOLOLOL. That’s too funny, Not. Your point is well taken, Margaret has so many nick names for us to choose from. I like the name Margaret itself but it is not easy to spell and everybody seems to shorten it immediately. They will say, “What’s your name?” When I answer, “Margaret.”, they say, “Oh, hi Maggie!” I sometimes wonder why they even ask. My eldest is named William. When he was a kid, people would ask, “What’s his name?” I would say, “William.” Then they would ask, “What do you call him?” Well, oddly enough, I call him William. When we met in the delivery room, that’s the name I gave him and it has been his name ever since. Some people have a tendency to rename everyone they meet. Whatever.

In my ex’s family, (Vex is Vex, my ex is my ex) they add an EE sound to everybody’s name. Mark was Marky, Rocco was Rocky, Jack was Jacky. But if your name already HAD an EE sound at the end of it , they took it away. At the time, most of my friends called me Margie. The in-laws called me Marge. My mother-in-law was named Dorothy, but they called her Dor. I don’t get it.

Someone sent me a list of reasons why men have two dogs and not two women. You can read it if you want to. It's at the end of the last post that had my horoscope on it. At first glance, it's kind of cute, but when you really look at it, you get the idea that it was written by someone who thinks very little of women. So, I decided to answer the freak myself:

26 Reasons why all women would do well to stay away from a man who compares them to dogs:

1. The longer you wait for them, the longer they stay away.

2. They WILL play with other women and then they will bring you something that a flea collar won’t cure.

3. If they see a gorgeous woman, they will not stop until they do more than hump her leg.

4. Sooner or later, they WILL call you by another woman’s name.

5. They not only leave things on the floor, they get annoyed with YOU for not picking the stuff up.

6. Their mother comes for weeks at a time and when she does, she chain smokes the entire time so that the house needs to be painted and sucks vodka straight until she passes out every day. And then, she sleeps all day and you have to tippy toe around the house so that you don't wake up the hungover nut lady. (By the way Gail, for some reason his mother steals shoes when she is drunk...remember to hide yours from her.)

7. They will degrade you and your body in cruel attempts to hurt you when they are mad.

8. They actually BELIEVE that they have to raise their voice to get their point across.

9. They will lie to you so much that you will find yourself going through their wallets to get the truth so that you can go about your own life.

10. They seldom outlive you and they have no life insurance.

11. They can’t speak properly so you can’t take them anywhere without being secretly embarrassed.

12. You never have to get dressed up, they will never take you anywhere.

13. They think that they are amusing when they are drunk.

14. They say they are fishing or hunting when they are really across town in an extended stay motel with a sleazy tramp.

15. They wouldn’t hesitate to steal another man’s wife. (Here’s another caution: If your wife works at the Circuit City Service Center in Lithia Springs, Georgia, keep an eye on her)

16. They actually say things like, “I wish you would go ahead and die already.”

17. If they get do you pregnant, you will end up having to sell your stuff to pay the bills, eventually.

18. They are too dishonest to ask their wives for sexual favors that they assume can only be gotten from a filthy Kennesaw trailer park, by a woman who lives behind a convenience store parking lot.

19.They don't have enough credit to buy a new car.

20. They will eventually come home smelling like another woman.

21. On a car trip, or at any other time, they are not at all concerned with your comfort.

22. They seem to be overly committed to pornography and they get off to the slanted reception of porno movies that they don’t pay for, explaining why they have no perception of what an attractive woman looks like.

23. When you get old, they replace you with a younger, stupid woman who will, in all likelihood, buy their lies.

24. They tend to drive broken down pick-up trucks and cars made in the last millennium.

25. They couldn’t afford to take you to Bloomingdale’s or Neiman-Marcus.

And last, but not least:

26. They have nothing of value and they don’t make their child support or alimony payments in a timely manner. You will end up either paying the ex for him, or bailing him out of jail when he is arrested for contempt of court and violating the terms of a restraining order...again.

Have a nice day!

Meg

Rock on Meg.

Hey anonymous. I think you mean lose, moron......

Yeah, spelling that word is a challenge for some. I think her use of “loose” was a Freudian slip.

As just a reader to this blog, it would seem to me that Meg has gained much more than she has lost.Good riddance to that loser Meg. His skank can have him! LOLKeep on keeping on, it can only get better from here.

Absolutely. You know, when you waste your time on someone who IS truly a loser, (not a looser) you miss out on the good guys. They are all right there wondering why women stay with the bums. It’s kind of like something I have always told my kids. You will get a job from those that you apply for so apply for the good jobs!!!! And, you will get a man or woman from the ones that you associate with, so associate with people of substance! If you behave decently, you will attract decent people. If you sit behind the cash register and hit on all of the married men who come in to pump gas, you will eventually get pumped by one of them. There is no way that can be a good thing for anyone.

That doesn’t mean you’ve “won” anything. That just means that you are one of the less discriminate (it’s in the dictionary) females in the world.

This scum (Vex) breeds scum and he should be removed from society and be put with his kind....That reminds me...Confucius say: "War not determine who's right, war determines who's left." Get in touch with me if you need help.

Thanks Vet, but I think I've got this one covered. :)

I must admit to getting some sadistic pleasure knowing that Vex’s latest bimbo (let’s call her VLB), is such a moron. Like I said before, he isn’t THAT stupid, surely after being around a woman with a brain, he can see the difference. One of us was extremely smarter than he and the other, dumber than the red dirt of Georgia. Oh well, at least he found someone who makes him look GOOD by comparison. I doubt people will be asking HER what she is doing with such a loser. On the other hand, I have answered that question numerous times.

OK, that’s enough of them. I bought a web cam yesterday because I couldn’t find mine. Then, when I tried to install it, I couldn’t. I called every computer fixer-dude I knew and had them try to talk me through it but we couldn’t get that stupid thing to work. Whatever I did, I had nothing but a black screen show up on the camera window. My son came home and he looked at it. He found the problem within 3 minutes. The old camera was still attached to the computer and hanging off of the back of it. So, I can take the new camera back and buy something to wear in Vermont next week.

I am really looking forward to that trip. I am annoyed that I will be out of town when the article comes out in the paper. I know that it will be online and I know that other people can buy copies for me, but I still wanted to be in town when it came out. Oh well, if the worst thing I can say is that I will be on vacation when the article comes out, I can’t complain too much.

I watched the movie The Aviator recently (the Blockbuster here didn’t have Waiting to Exhale, which is what I went to get). I think I’d give it 3 stars (out of 5). It’s one of those movies that you spend waiting for something to happen but nothing ever does. But, movies can be good for many reasons. This one was good because of the acting. DiCaprio did a very competent job in the role of Howard Hughes, recreating a fine example of the hell that was Hughes’ life. Cate Blanchett did a superb role as Kathryn Hepburn. At first, I was taken aback at how little she resembled Hepburn, but I was amazed at her ability to speak and move like the actress did. The woman who played Hepburn’s mother gave a stellar performance as well. I spent the third hour of the movie looking at the clock and trying to figure out where they could go with this and how much longer it could last. Basically, the movie lasted about an hour too long, but like I said, the acting made it tolerable.

The movie is an historical account of the life of Howard Hughes. It begins with a scene of Hughes as a little boy with his mother. The scene was meant to imply that Hughes’ emotional problems stemmed from his maternal relationship. It’s difficult to garner much else from the scene, one could infer that he was sexually abused from what was shown. But, one could also deduce that she was just an whack job herself. Although I appreciate subtlety in a movie, I don’t enjoy the chore of trying to read between the lines when the lines are not at all very legible. But, it doesn’t really matter much, the scene was over in a few minutes and it really neither added nor detracted from the movie. Actually, they could have left that scene out entirely and you wouldn’t have missed a thing.

If you haven’t seen the movie yet, plan to watch it during the next hideous weather event that keeps you stranded in your house. Instead of wondering when “something” is going to happen, pay attention to DiCaprio and Blanchett. Those two must have spent weeks studying the characters they played. OH! Guy, Alan Alda is in this one! He does a superb job of playing a corrupt Senator investigating Hughes and his business activities. I believe I even saw Jude Law as some 20’s movie star whose name escapes me at the moment.

The fun in this movie is in the details. You’ll appreciate the work that went into recreating the 1920’s setting. Whoever that was playing the singer in the night club scene with Law gave a very interesting face to the performer he was pretending to be. The little red bellhop outfits made me feel badly for the real men who had to kiss their wives good bye as they left for work dressed those silky, scarlett ensembles.

Actually, all of the costumes were absolutely amazing. A movie-maker can only do so much with a true story and if the story is a relatively boring one, you have to work extra hard to make the movie palatable. These folks certainly did that.

Well, I have to get dressed and go shopping so I should take off. I’ll be back soon, I hope you’re having a great weekend.

My horoscope for today...

...Your communication antennas are more sensitive than usual, but you're also picking up more static.

So THAT’S what it was, static. I wasn’t too sure.

You know, if you want to really insult a person, you should put some thought into it. Anyone can just mindlessly vomit the first thing that comes into their mind. But you have to be rather quick to come up with anything good. If you aren't very quick, you should shut up until you think of something that would do. Mention it to a few of your friends to see if your idea is any good. Take your time. As you can see, mindless insults only serve to show the world that you can’t come up with anything worthy of the effort. If I were going to insult someone, I'd use something true, like this...Pretend that there's a woman who lives in a trailer from which she services married men. If she were to screw my husband, I might say something like..."What? You had nothing better to do during the commercial breaks than to screw Vex?" Now, that one is good for two reasons. First of all, it implies that the woman gives trailer parks a bad name. Secondly, it puts a little pressure on the man to last longer the next time he tries to screw the woman. He will know that his sexual inadequacies have been broadcast to the entire world and that thought alone would weigh on his mind as he was trying to maintain an erection or keep from blowing it too soon. That's a much better idea than just writing down something stupid where the insult isn’t even appropriate. This is an example of what I am speaking:

A big nose can also throw a large shadow on acne scars, but you already know that.

Now, I have neither a big nose nor acne scars. As a matter of fact, I have always been told that I have beautiful skin. When a lifetime goes by during which many people tell you that you have beautiful skin, some off the wall comment like that from a childish nimrod whom you have never met is laughable. So, if you are going to make derogatory comments about a person’s characteristics, make sure that the person actually HAS those characteristics. Also, if it has to be said, saying...

Boo Hoo Hoo

...is so pre-school.

As I receive more comments from Gail Glenn and Rick Kelso, I shall post them in a continuing effort to show how to end up looking like a complete moron.

Vex may not be too bright (my father warned me against marrying men who’s last name ends in a vowel, but I didn’t listen), but surely he sees how inane this wench is. I think we all have. I am actually surprised that he would allow her to show the world what a clown he knocked up. Oh well, I am tired and I must go to sleep. Have a good morning and see you later!

Meg

Good night, I am exhausted. See you later.

Posted by Hello

Boo-Hoo-Hoo

LOL, this is the ilk of person with whom I am arguing? Not anymore, I would never enter into a battle of the wits with an unarmed person. There's no challenge in this. Damn.

Meg

I see that Vex and his latest victim have found my little blog...

...He’s known about it since the reporter called him two months ago. Apparently, since this thing will be in the newspaper soon, he felt the need to share the information with someone. It’s about time. This is for them.

Now, you two should know that I have nothing to lose, I said it already. Vex, it appears as though you still underestimate me. I don’t know why you would do that. The best I can figure is that you still don’t get it. I HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE. I am sick, I am alone and I have no money. What can you possibly take away from me now? I have held nothing back, I have just stayed on topic.

But, since you seem to think that I fear the truth, let me show you something. I will answer the allegations in your comments:

I am 46 years old. My birthday is June 29th. My legal name is Margaret Broderick Kelso. I have been married three times and every single one of them cheated on me. I already told you what I did to the lawyer guy, I have never denied it. That was not only wrong, it was stupid. But it was almost 20 years ago. This occurred at a time when I was drinking pretty heavily. I would drink until they said, “Margaret, WE AIN’T GOT NO MORE LIQUOR!” I do not blame anyone else for my behavior, I was just at a point in my life where I had trusted Vex and moved back to Virginia from Chicago, a place where I had been doing very well and had a support system, only to have him break his promise to marry me. I didn't handle it well. Cheaters though they may have been, the other two never dumped me in another state with 3 kids and no place to live. Yep, I drank a lot of time away. But it was the 80’s and that was also a very long time ago, and once again, it was before he and I finally DID get married. TWICE. I was not pregnant by him so he did not HAVE to marry me, he chose to. But, when I married the father of my youngest two children, I was pregnant with my daughter. I had only known my first husband for 10 days before we eloped to Reno. All I can say is that I was only 18 at the time. I quickly figured out that he wasn’t the brightest bulb on the tree, but damn, he was pretty. He is the father of my oldest child and neither father ever has nor would they ever deny the children that I gave them. I was a teenager in the 70’s. Would you believe me if I DENIED ever smoking marijuana? I wouldn’t.

I have done a lot of things that I am not proud of but I NEVER cheated on a husband and I have never slept with a married man. I never broke the marriage vows. I never said I was preaching or above anyone else. It's just that this thing is what it is. No more, no less. But, I'll tell you this, if you want to make it a free-for-all, I can go toe to toe with the best of them.

I feel the need to add that while I did do some stupid stuff, I had some serious fun. I went across the country by myself when I was 18. I spent weeks traveling all over the place. I've traveled to three continents and I've dated a professional football player. I have lived in six states and I have been able to work in movies, to do stand up comedy and to graduate from college with 3 children as a single mother. Like I have always maintained, I have accomplished so much more single than I ever have while married.

I have made impact with another car as a driver 3 times in my life, all three times were before 1980. Each time, it was because I listened to someone else. First, I listened to my passenger. Then, I listened to a truck driver who was supposedly holding up traffic. Then, I listened to the guy blowing his horn behind me. It took a few times, but I finally learned not to listen to anybody else and I haven’t been in another accident as a driver since. And the way things worked out, I have learned not to listen to anyone else in life either. I am going to do exactly what I feel I need to do because that’s all I KNOW to do. I don’t particularly WANT to hurt anybody but I am trying to prove a point. The point is that one should tell the truth. Duh.

Try it. Seriously dude, try it. Just tell the truth! Once you try it, you see that the people with whom you are honest will respect you and then you can learn to respect yourself. In the meantime, you will just be another nerd. The first time you tell the truth, you will immediately lose all of the people who you don’t want to be around and the good ones will stay. That will only make you want to tell some more truth. Before you know it, only people with whom you can honestly be yourself are left. Life is much better all around.

You know, when you are totally honest, you have little to fear. I will answer your questions in order to prove MY point. But I will not give you a forum from which to speak, you will have to find your own. What I WILL do is to use YOU as an example of what not to do, so bring it on, make my day. I promise, I can take every single thing you do and use it to my advantage. The more the two of you squirm, the more I prove my point. As long as you are relegated to the anonymous comments, you are fodder for me and I will take advantage of every single thing you say. Either you continue, or you get a clue. One way or the other, I have nothing to lose.

Have a nice day.

Meg

Margaret, Did it ever occur to you that if you weren't always complaining about Ricks big crooked dick that maybe he would still be bringing it home to you? Just a thought.

I never complained about it until he left so, no, that thought never occurred to me. You can have it, I don’t want it. And I never, ever said it was big. As for the alimony, I didn't ask for it, he offerred. I see that you are very wrapped up in my blog so I will wait until you have finished commenting and then I will answer all of them. Have fun.

Meg

Isn't Peggy, Maggy or Marge short for Margaret? I never heard of anyone named Margaret calling themself Meg

Well, I don’t know. Hell, they are all nicknames for Margaret. As are Gretchen, Greta and Margo. Personally, I like Maggie. But I didn’t come up with Meg, it got stuck on me. Now, does the nice man who named me Meg want to stand up and let himself be known?

When I was in high school, I went by Margie. My father’s family calls me Peggy. My father calls me Margaret. My kids call me Mom. My full given name is Margaret Ruth Broderick. If you add my married names, it is Margaret Ruth Broderick Cardis Colletti Kelso. Any other questions regarding my name, anonymous person?

Meg

Meg...

...Oops... my bad. I didn't know this was a guy you already knew. I thought it was just some unknown guy in France was emailing you. Carry on, then. :-)

Now, the French dude IS someone that I don’t know. I know him from the blog, he has been emailing me for a long time and actually, I feel like I do know him. But anyway, the reason you got them mixed up is because Vermont man, who is really from California, is going to Europe next. I know it’s confusing, but if I can keep them straight, you should be able to as well. :):):)

I am sure you are familiar with the movie "Waiting to Exhale."(?)

No, I haven't seen it yet but last year, during my "Betrayed Wife" sale, a bunch of people mentioned that movie and said that the woman in it did something similar. I meant to watch it then but I forgot about it, I shall go and get it today though, I would love to see it. Oh, by the way, my "Betrayed Wife" sale began on a Friday and on Saturday morning, I read the local paper. It has a section called "Happenings Around Town" or something like that and they actually had the following in the paper:

"Sign seen on Polk St., 'Betrayed Wife' sale."

OK, Mandi, we WILL speak today if I have to come up there and find you! But for now, here are some good reasons to get rid of your phone cheat:

When I was 20 I was with a guy named Karl, whom I remember for two reasons. He was the first sexual partner I was ever with (19-20) and he was great in sexual technique but in every other way an absolute asshole. I have no idea where he is now, and I am very happy with that. I decided I was worth more than this jerk, finally, and got out and away and it was one of the best things I ever did in my life!

Oh yeah. How the heck did he get so good at that age? I bet he’s still doing a lot of practicing.

SO get out and away and find someone decent, girl!

And just have fun. That’s all you should be doing right now. You don’t even know what you are giving up by getting married so young. At 20, you couldn’t possibly. Make a life for yourself so that when you do get married, it’s for the very best of reasons. It’s supposed to be a sacrifice. You’re giving up more than a lamb here, you’re giving up your entire way of life. Getting married should be like having a child in that it is definitely for the duration. Not many people see it like that. They wouldn’t leave their kids but they have no problem walking away from a spouse. You have to take it very seriously or we should all just stop getting married. People who break their own wedding vows have no business stopping gays from getting married. To do so makes one a hypocrite, anyway you slice it. So you see, this is serious business. You can’t very well enter into a marriage until you know what it is you are bringing to it.

I have seen cases like Mandi's and it isn't good. You are right, Meg, being in her twenties she will not remember this guy's name as she get older only his actions.

Exactly, Vet, she will be telling this story to her daughter someday after her daughter suffers her first broken heart.


My first marriage was a horror. I was 22, way too young.

At 21, marriage is almost always a horror in this day and age.

Ok for Mandi...His name s David and he is scrambling trying to find a place to live. He has to move out of "our" house because we got divorced because he cheated on me with a 23 year old bimbo.

Mandi, it’s much easier to kick one out BEFORE the wedding.

Her name was Sue and she was all wrong for me. ... some sound advice my uncle gave me ... nobody should get married until they are at least 25. If the guy/girl you are seeing won't wait that long, then they wouldn't last the marriage anyway.

25 is good. That’s what I told my kids. I also told them that it’s a good idea if you own your own home first, man or woman.

It sounds to me like you are doing the right thing in having him pack his things, Mandi. You can do better.

Of course you can, even you know it. Through the distress and confusion, you know it.

I am so distraught and confused right now...
I'm really just beginning my adult life.

Yep, you most certainly are. And there is a great big world out there full of things do see and people to do!

I can only say it sounds very fishy to me, and it may only get worse.

Let that be one last caveat. Only, I can say it more forcefully, it WILL only get worse.

how many delightfully stupid things has he done that also happen to be illegal?

Oh Heather, wait until the divorce is final. :) Hope to see more of you. Most of his stupid stuff is legal but let’s just say that he had done a couple of things that I sat right next to him as he did them over the years. I didn’t bring that stuff up here but he did in the divorce. Let’s pretend that there is a certain type of smoking material that he always has. He might have shared some of it with me once or twice or a thousand times, who knows? We are just pretending here. Well, he told his attorney all of it. Also, there was a time when he treated me badly before we got married (I told you I take FULL responsibility for marrying him anyway). I started dating someone else. I even married this guy but after the wedding I freaked out, realizing that I still loved Vex. So, I left the Virginia hotel to go “to the store”. I actually drove to Chicago. Now, I know that wasn’t very nice but that guy got me back good. He was an attorney and he convinced me that he had our marriage annulled. (Which is what I wanted and why I left before that marriage was consummated.) Well, I eventually married Vex and we found out that I was still married to the other guy. I called an attorney who said that it would be much easier and cheaper to get a divorce so I did and Vex and I got married AGAIN. So, everything is fine right? That fool tried to use the fact that I had done all of this in the divorce. My attorney’s office called me and asked if it was true that I was already married when Vex and I got married and I said, “Yeah, it’s true. But he paid for the divorce and married me again.”

From the beginning, I have said that I was an idiot for marrying him and staying with him through affair after affair and his violent tendencies. In the divorce, I only mentioned the things that actually led to the divorce, not everything that ever happened in our lives. But, since I was so sick last year, all he had was the things that either happened BEFORE he married me (TWICE) and/or the things he did with me. Now, how stupid was that? I wouldn’t have had a reason to bring this up at all if he hadn’t tried to justify his affair by throwing every piece of shit he could find (and I think I know where he got all of that shit, I know where he keeps it.) in the hopes that some of it stuck.

Now that I know Vex is reading this, I should have a little note to him every so often so here’s one: You know as well as I do that I haven’t brought up everything that I could have brought up, I have stuck to cheating, lying and abuse. There is no way that you can deny the things that you’ve pled guilty to and I am sure that Gail wouldn’t like it if you outright denied her AND your little one. So, you can’t deny the cheating and of course, with the cheating, you have tacitly made it known that you are a liar. So, I understand that you can’t deny anything that I have written. But, if you want to take it further, you know as well as I do that I could hand your head on a platter to your boss if I wanted to so I would leave well enough alone if I were you. You have already taken everything away from me, I have nothing left to lose. Luckily for you, you still have things to lose. Trust me, you have no idea of what I know and I still have someone ready to testify against you if need be. Be a smart boy and sign the papers. Also, would you please send me my passport? I have a friend who wants to take me along with him traveling and we will be leaving the country shortly after the divorce. Have a nice day, honeybuns.

Considering the ass wiping issue the fly swatting ad is quite fitting.

My, my, Kyle, you are a smart one. I didn’t even make the connection, LOL.

Mine is pretty pitiful LOL

Actually, it’s not at all bad, Kathryn! I am really impressed at how many people are out there actually writing well. I've tried for an hour to get the link field to show up but I can’t. But, I HAVE made the word link appear at the bottom of the archive list.

Meg

Hi Honey,

How's the ass wiping going? In case you're doing your own laundry, skip the fly swatting advertisement and check out this commercial:

Tide is good. So is bleach.

Night night.

Meg

HI!

I just tried to call Mandi again but the fates are conspiring against us. I guess I'll speak to her sooner or later although for all I know she is really a 40 year old pervert in Daytona. When I was listening to her little thing tell me how to leave a message, I was annoyed. Not at Mandi, but at the idea that we have to hear those stupid instructions again. Just say BEEP...I know what to do.

Oh well, what can ya do? I guess if they need directions for deodorant, they can use them for anything nowadays. I prefer to read the ingredients. That's what I do in the bathtub. I lie there and read the ingredients out loud. I'm pretty good at it, too. I can say cocamidopropyl right out loud. I never even read that before, it's a new one. But just one look and I read the whole list back there. You should try it sometime. I have gotten pretty darn good at it over the years.

Anyway, someone posted a nasty comment about me and I almost left it up there. There was enough truth in it to be from someone who knows me, but not too well. Maybe he/she heard it second hand and got pieces of truth or maybe Vex was never paying attention in the first place but one way or another, I left it up there for a few hours to be fair Then I thought about it and decided that I didn't have to be fair. If he wants a platform, let him go get one. That's fair. I believe I printed some easy to follow directions a couple of days ago. I specifically stressed how easy it was, so any idiot could do it. An idiot that spells like a 4rth grade drop out might even be able to figure it out. You know, Vex always did put two L's in "untill". I am kind of laughing right now.

OK, so what else is new? Well, not much. I took my dog out. He is a pretty cool dog. People keep telling me to call them if I want to get rid of him. He is under the kitchen table right now. I took my kitchen curtains down to wash and he could see me from the back yard so now he lays (or is it lie's? Dad?) right under the window when I am sitting at my desk. He follows me everywhere. The dog wouldn't be 10 feet away from me at any given moment if he could manage it. How can you give away an animal that loves you so much?

But, to be honest, he came pretty damn close to being out of here. I bought the kennel the day I got him and he stayed in it quite a bit from the beginning. They said not to use it as a punishment, but he was always a big puppy and caused maximum damage in minimal time. So, he spent a lot of time in the kennel. I felt badly about that but not badly enough to let him out until he started being a good boy. One day he just figured it out. I was amazed at how long it took. I was beginning to think he was a mentally challenged dog (it could happen, I saw a mentally challenged cat once, his name was Shams and he was a blue persian. He kept going behind the couch but he couldn't back up and he couldn't turn around. Five times a day that stupid cat would cry like a banchee because it was stuck behind the couch.). One day my dog just walked in from being outside all day and laid down next to me. He's been a good boy ever since. I don't get it. Anyway, I think I'll keep him.

Well, I have to go to bed now. I am tired and I need to sleep. And, the more I think about it, the more I know it was Vex who wrote. Ahhh. I find that comforting.

You know, I never denied obsessing and I have no lover to whom I must explain why I am doing this. Nice to know you're still thinking of me. It's U-N-T-I-L...I always knew your stupidity would bring your ass down....she said as she chuckled softly to herself.

Good night.

Meg

Meg...

...I think that it is healthy for you to vent your thoughts about this, it can only make your life better and your circle of friends greater. :-)

Vetter dude, don’t put words in MY mouth! I don’t want to see him in jail, I never did. I only called the cops because I was afraid and I don’t know tai kwon do. And I took out the restraining order because the cops were doing their job and they told me that it was the right thing to do. I like to listen to the nice men who keep the mean men in line. The cops who came when my house was broken into gave me some advice and you should know more than anyone else that I listened to them too.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t lose any sleep over him going to jail, but I won’t be giggling in glee either. I would have more of a “That’s a shame” attitude than anything else. He doesn’t pay his alimony now, why should if matter to me if he was in jail? It does nothing to help me, nor does it really bother me.

BUT...you are right about the comment above, this has most certainly been responsible for meeting some sweet people and it is great for venting, of course.

But seriously, I have other reasons for doing this now. First of all, it gives other cheatee’s a place to vent and I enjoy writing. I think that the people who read this more than once can see that I am not “vindictive” and I think that I occasionally make somebody laugh. As much as I’ve learned from doing this, I have seen other people taking advice way from here, whether it is mine or another reader’s. Vex is not really my focus anymore unless I refer to him while writing about something else or if something he did or didn’t do gives me fodder for entertainment. I can’t do anything about his avoidance of alimony right now except write about it here. (But, when he is 30 days behind, I can do more and I will.)

I would change the name of this thing now except that the newspaper article will be out soon and I can’t do it before that happens. The nice reporter lady would look pretty silly if she wrote an article about a blog and when the article came out, there was no blog. So, I am leaving it up here like this until after the article comes out. I don’t see him going to jail anytime soon, he hasn’t really done anything lately, at least not to me. :)

... good luck with the MRI. Maybe you can keep your eyes closed and think of big open places or something?

Thanks, Guy. But that’s too easy. I have to be blindfolded before I ever see the machine and someone that I trust has to hold onto my foot while I am in the machine. Not to mention that, I need a handful of sedatives first. The first time I ever had one, I didn’t know I was so claustrophobic. I opened my eyes once I had gotten in and I totally freaked out. I was struggling to get out, the stupid thing slides you out so slowly that I couldn’t wait for it. It was awful. I left and never went back until I had some sedatives and Vex to hold my foot.

You go, girl! Scream, yell, holler, jump up and down, throw things (preferably his, if there are still some around)

No can do. His stuff has been gone for a very long time. First, I had a “Betrayed Wife” sale and some of his things went at some really great prices. Then, he came back and quietly moved a bunch of our things out over the summer. So, when he left, there wasn’t much else to toss but as I come across things of his, I throw them away one at a time. I haven’t hit the attic yet, but when I do, that should be quite a chore. I think I will just toss stuff out by the bag. I haven’t been up there at all except for when I got my Christmas stuff out so the rest of the stuff is probably junk anyway. Now that I think of it, I do have a box of his pictures, but that will go soon since he doesn’t seem to want it.

I'd probably get vindictive on him and then try to sell the movie rights

Well, well, well, Kyle, you think exactly like I do. I’m not sure when, but at some point I am going to edit this entire blog and make a book out of it. That’s where the fun will start. He he he.

OK, now I have to go and act like it’s daytime and I have things to do. BTW, Guy, I told you, I already know Vermont man, he is not a stranger to me. Oh, I am going to call Mandi in a few minutes and then I will be back.

Meg

My strange little friend has gotten his divorce!

I am very happy for him. I don’t ever remember being this happy for any wedding. Odd, isn’t it. This guy has been sweating this divorce for months now and I have been listening to every excruciating detail. If ever a man deserved a divorce, this one did. He was married to one of those evil psycho wenches from hell. She accused him of some felonious action every week. He was constantly deflecting false charges and now it’s all over, so it isn’t any wonder that I am happy for him.

In one way, I’m happy for Mandi. I know that she is going to be fine and she will certainly be better off in the long run. One day even she will see that. But for now, she is feeling very sad. And betrayed. There isn’t much I can do to help her now but wouldn’t it have been nice if Mandi could have been spared the pain of trusting an emotional con artist? Have you ever wished that you could just go to a web site and check to see if the great new friend you just made is a known liar and cheat? Did you ever say to yourself, “Damn, if only there was a way to know up front whether someone is a liar and a cheat, I would spare myself a lot of heartache?” Well, now there is a way.

I am initiating a system called a RAK Alert. (It stands for Rick Allen Kelso). Now, not just every cheater will do. You must go to the cheater and give them an opportunity to tell you the truth. If they deny it, then send their names to me via the comments at the end of this post. Just give me the name and city of the cheater. If they were cheating with someone who knew about you but screwed them anyway, send their name too. If they have violent tendencies, that works as well. As a matter of fact, you owe it to society to get these bullies out of circulation. Now, I am not taking any responsibility for what you guys write, so you are on the HONOR SYSTEM! Only true and actual liars and cheats should be listed here.

It really is kind of fun if you think about it, especially if you live in the Atlanta area because this blog is going to be mentioned in an article in the Journal-Constitution soon. A lot of people will see it and you could really get a sense of satisfaction from venting, trust me. After you do it, you could email them the entire page, that would be pretty good...I think. Don’t be shy, if you have been cheated upon and then had your intelligence insulted by being lied to, let’s hear it.

Now, it should take a lot of effort to get on that list. Anyone can make a mistake, but only a true RAK would deny it over and over again. And don’t forget the violent folks. They should certainly be there. But mainly, I want to hear about defiant, cheating liars. That is the main crux of my “issues” at this point. Maybe tomorrow, I will talk about my yard word. Like I said, hormones are a dangerous thing. I am an hormonally imbalanced woman with a brain and a keyboard. I was left alone to simmer and I developed a few, shall we say, sensitivities. So, this is a very cool idea to me and I hope it works out well for someone out there.

But, now, I have to go lie down. I have been “on” ever since I jumped off of the couch this morning to the sound of my father’s voice. He went back to Florida and I already miss him. I always feel so secure when he is here. I am very tired and I finally have a chance to stretch out on the couch, lie back, turn on the television, find something to watch, close my eyes and fall asleep.

God night,

Meg
