Truth! I got divorced this year and was thoroughly depressed. However, some new boobs have recently entered my life and I couldn't be happier. Complete 180 from a few months ago lol.

New boobs cure a LOT of things.

Often the easiest way to get over a girl is to get underneath another.

Been there, it hurts. You will recover, just take it one day at a time. Keep to your normal scedule for work etc. Try to stay busy doing whatever.

thanks guys i appreciate it! I think I will be attending a car meet up in Haverhill ma tonight to get the mind right

Bigger = cures more things

YES

So how big do they need to be before we can get a cure for cancer?

That sucks, but it's better that it ended before it got too complicated.

I had a professor in college who said, "Be careful what you wish for when you're in your twenties; you might have it when you're in your thirties and you might not be able to get rid of it when you're in your forties".

You can apply that to any aspect of your life.

That son of a bitch was one wise professor.

I'm afraid to ask. We don't have a cure yet, and I pretty much have to custom order my wifes bras.....

You order your wife's bras ?

Now that is what I call compatibility.

It helps if you know how to work the equipment.

After 11 years with one SWMBO, I've been single now for the past 1.5 years. To be honest, after 11 years of always doing what she wanted to do and never what I wanted to do, I'm fairly happy being single. Doing whatever the hell I want, when I want, and spending my money however I want without getting the cold shoulder.

Is it really that bad for most folks? Maybe it is because the things that I want to do involve cars, guitars, boats, and hockey, while the things she wants to do involve shopping, concerts, boats, and ice-skating... But are all your relationships really that one-sided?

It sure as hell isn't for me, my wife is the one shopping for plane tickets so I can do the fly and drive to get the latest acquisition. She's also not even fussed when I pulled the "Ima go get a car I'll be back later" bit. That was her warning when I bought the mx6. She ALSO convinced me to buy the ms3 under the auspices of "you're not going to be happy til you have the turbo one, so just do it right now". It's pretty well documented my spouse ranks pretty damn high on the awesome scale, even if she is the bane of my existence some days.

Mine isn't. No, I don't get everything I want. Neither does she. But we both get - and give - enough that it is a fair compromise.

15 years. Two race cars and a bus. I will never diss my wife.

Yes.

18 years, two race cars, and we lived out of a sprinter van for one of those years. She despises my current fleet of cars, but rarely says anything. I'm in love.

My ex of 12 years was selfish to the point of psychosis but fooled me into doing without the things that I liked to the point I wasn't sure what I even liked anymore. Then three months after getting her the "mommy makeover" (boobs and lipo) I was given my walking papers.

Now my GF is very cool. She races with me, she supports my quirks and habits. Her default answer to anything I suggest is yes which has taken some getting used to.

Overall, I miss my kids and I miss my money but I'm really a lot happier without the ex.

In my case, it seemed like a dream at first: a girl way into cars - when we met she had a '97 M3 and a '93 Passat GLX wagon - both manuals. However, it eventually became apparent SHE could have the "fun cars" while I got the "practical cars". She bought a '03 MCS. I got a '03 TDI wagon. She bought a '73 Volvo 1800ES and a '79 Spitfire. I got the Cummins truck (and the ONLY times it was ever used as a "truck" was for hauling stuff for HER). My extent of playing with the cars was wrenching on them. Constantly.

For awhile, we were heavily involved with the local MINI groups. She drove, I sat in the passenger seat. For 10 years, she organized a run that had a lunch stop at her parents' farm. After 3 years of this, we decided to buy a second MINI - a '07 Cooper convertible. "Great! Now I'll finally have a car to drive on runs!" NOT! Why? Because she had this childish issue about not telling her parents about the car. Hell - she wouldn't tell her coworkers. So she rarely drove the blasted thing and whenever her parents came to her house we had to play this stupid mad scramble to "hide" the car.

I'm dead berkin' serious.

Maybe if she were in her early 20's, it could be forgiven, but she was 35 when we bought that car.

I won't go into the effin' E30 (which I'm sure most of you are tired of hearing about...).

Then she decided to renovate her house. Guess who got to be GC, plumber, HVAC installer and Electrician? Yup. Granted, I don't regret that quite so much because I learned a ton. In many cases what NOT to do.

So no... I don't really miss any of this.

I do miss her cats...
