I had two women, at the same time, does that count. Just want to clarify. Then I woke up.

No, but you're my new hero!

A redhead lived with me for 9 months and I survived ;)

I think this is the universe's way of saying "Hey Joe Bob - we've got some JUST batschit crazy enough to be a match for you!"

p.s. Steve says to learn to sleep with one eye open.

I was married to a redhead (AKA The Fair Godzilla) for two years and lived to tell about it.

I would really like to read the responses people type out and then delete before posting... I know those are the best. Typed a good one myself and deleted it. No confidence in internet anonymity.

I married my ex when I was young and dumb. Pretty certain that no one will ever be stupid enough to do that again.

When I was six I sat in the pilots lap in a JAL DC-8 Super 80 headed from Tokyo to LA. Plane made a turn and I ran back through the cabin yelling, "Mom, I flew the plane!"

On a plane full of Boy Scouts, flying back from a national Jamboree, I walked through the cabin shredding a sanitary napkin asking, "what is this thing for?"

In 1976 I was the 2nd or 3rd youngest Eagle Scout in the nation.

I was accepted to Medical School and decided not to go.

I met Andre' also. Shook his hand and it was like shaking hands with someone wearing a baseball mitt. My outstretched fingers barely spanned his palm.

15 years here. Scary. Now she wants me back and me being the idiot I am, am seriously considering it! Guess I'm a thrill-seeker. :)

But she's still got the box it came in.

I escaped injury from an exploded cast iron flywheel while driving a small block Chevrolet hotrod at age 16 while Neal Armstrong strolled on the moon. Then I was unharmed by Mutt and Jeff during an armed robbery that started me laughing at the perp's (age 19) when leaving work to make the nighttime bank deposit. At that age you already think you are immortal, these incidents only enhanced that delusion. DP

Flew between the peaks of the Farralon islands at 300' in a P-3 with Chuck Yeager at the controls.

Wasn't just me though, there were 5 or 6 other guys on-board. I still can't believe no one complained.

Some pretty cool stuff. I think I have a bunch. Probably the most visible is that I took on a new client for the ad agency I worked for -- when nobody else wanted to have anything to do with him. A scruffy 21-year old named Steve Jobs. My team developed a logo and a 'brand personality' that have done fairly well for the company.

Has this birth defect been the cause of much consternation?

POP,

I have enjoyed (and related to) reading your posts for a long time. I find you one of the most rational posters on the board, and I tend to agree with your pov on just about every topic.

I followed your move from Cali to NH, your challenges with your job, and then ultimately your impending divorce. I don't post here a lot, so I may have missed some of the details behind how that all fell apart. Or maybe (and understandably), you didn't post much about the details. I often wondered what happened since you seem (at least based on the virtual world here in PPOT) to be such a sensible person.

Now, to hear she wants you back. Wow. What a nightmare. And while I can understand why you might be considering it, it just strikes me just how messed up people really can be. I am a person who believes in commitment. Marriage is absolutely nothing without it. I have been there myself. But I am black and white on the marriage commitment. You either committed, or you didn't. And if you committed, and breached that commitment, then you never can be trusted again, period.

Or, just ignore the whole "commitment" aspect of a relationship, and just hang out together. That would be fine, too. But the fallacy of "I am committed", and then, "just kidding", just doesn't work for me.

Interested in any history or details now that you can share. Again, I am only interested, because you seem very sensible, and a lot of what you talk about your perspective on here resonates very much with me.

JA
