Vanity unfair

Topic: Oh Well

Hi there,

    I occasionally read one of the blogs my evil ex writes. She knows I read it cause she writes what she wants me to see. She's been particularly saucy lately.  She mentioned i should "get over it". I think the "it" is the fact she writes about me poorly on her blogs. I've told her I don't like it. If she wants to work it out like adults we can talk it over, mediate or compromise. None of these solutions will she try. Instead it seems she childishly tells me it's her way only. After trying a long time I gave up hoping to be friends. I asked that we still talk for the kids sake.  Her vanity won't come down. She's not right.

       So because she's stubborn our kids have to suffer. She now seems totally over the edge choosing to take me to court instead of talking to me about the kids like I asked her to.  Taking money away from both of us.  Seems she's fed up with hoping to brainwash me and now launching a vindictive campaign to use my kids against me.

       Suggestions of sexual impropriety with my youngest daughter. Very sick of my ex. She's the one with 2 grown men at her home. Neither of which has she known more than 7 years. Serious consequences have come up because she did not tell me about the impropriety when she became aware of it. More on this later.

        I still hope someday she'll become less idealistic about her abuse of the freedom of speech. I hope one day she'll  snap back to reality for her kids sake. Is the freedom of speech worth cheating your children of  normality?

Karma train a comin'

Aha!

     Seems the Karma train me be rolling over my evil ex. She took me to court this past week on some substantiated and non substantiated issues. She had her say though I'm sure the judge was wise enough to see through her bullshit.

     Her husband lost his job the next day ( he's in on the mean crap too ) and the EE hit another car with her minivan. She had no damage but caused problems to the person she hit. 

     What goes around may very well come around.

Chasing Sundogs

Now Playing: Beatles: I'll follow the Sun

Howdy there,

 

       I was making a trip to the eastern part of Kentucky. It was a very cold day. The sun was out behind the chilled clouds. I had my digital camera with me. I saw this phenomena.

         It's where cloud ice crystals act as prisms to the sun on the horizon.  2 fake "suns" called  Sundogs or parhelions appear equal distances both right and left of the sun. If the clouds were real thin I would have seen the whole dome surrounding the sun. Here's another view of the right side. The field of view was too big to take in one full picture.

   Go to Wikipedia and check out Sundogs and Parhelions.

Hi Readers, I don't write much here.

 

   During my divorce I would go to the library and look at the books about divorce and children. They would say "don't do it".

 

   I wanted to keep things together for the kids. I was already putting up with an insufferable attitude from the ex. No way we could stay married. I was extremely mad at her for refusing to ask her internet friend ( now husband ) to stop writing bad about me on his blog.

 

  We negotiated and came up with what we thought was a reasonable divorce agreement. We said we would be friends. People told us it wouldn't work. They were right. Within a year she was writing bad about me on her blog. Hello, Guess she didn't care to remain friends.

 

   I ask her repeatedly to mediaite or compromise regarding her writing about me. Of course she said no.

 

   In recent history she's been making what might be considered nice gestures towards me. I emailed and told her unless she addresses the 1st. issue, we can't move forward. No way would I be friends with someone writing bad about me.

 

   I'm done with her. Things can never get any better. I feel good I gave it the college try for the kids. The ex is stubborn and selfish when it comes to her self righteousness.

Hi Folks,

 

     Arggh, more confused than ever. I had been invited to my ex's house for my daughter's birthday party. Now my ex says her and her hubby would feel uncomfortable with me there. There would be "tension". I've been de-invited. Let's see, has their been tension when I've been over before for other parties, graduations? No. After this heartless move and on my way home my daughter asked if I was still coming to her party. I told her the truth and she was upset. I told her she could talk to her mom but I couldn't tell her how mean a person her mom is. 

     I'm sure you readers know about the ex and her hubby. They reserve the right to write bad about me on the internet, albeit anonymous. I've told them a long time ago it was disrespectful and rude. They stare back like deer in the headlights and say no it's not. Thoughts race through my head. Can these people not realize what they do is wrong in any way? They wash their hands in the bowl of denial and walk on. Then they have the nerve to wonder why they're perceived wrong. They just don't get it. As long as they keep their self righteous ( wrong ) opinion they'll most likely never be thought of as nice. A terrible catch 22.  I've no want to be with those guys but I have to when it comes to being with my kids I'll overlook them being near.

     If they or anyone they know read this, please help them see the light bulb of realization. If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all, on the net, in person, in a letter. Reserving the right to rag on people is a dark way to think. You can't be nice one way and bad another. The perception of bad will always persist.   

 

    Ok, down from the soap box, bye,

Another Christmas
Mood:  chillin'
Now Playing: Evil Woman, ELO

Hi friends,

      I've been doing my business other places but wanted to stop in and say "hello" and happy holidays.

      This holiday season I though the ex might finally wise up and snap over to getting along. She still thinks her critical blog journal writings about me are okay. Can you believe it? On top of that she wondered why my family won't talk to her yet her family talks to me. She suggested her family was more sensible. Well yeah, I think both mine AND her family know how she's whack in her assertions. Her family has remained talking to me because I'm reasonable and personable. Her dad routinely tells me that his daughter divorced me but that doesn't change our friendship. I've had warm holiday talks with her  parents, sister and niece.

      I emailed the ex to ask if she wants me to talk to my family about communicating. It kind of felt like she's saying "hey look, you're wrong about me M*** but since everyone in your family has it more together than you can you talk to them?". Uh, yeah. My family muses about my ex having multiple personality disorder. She's like Harriet the Spy. Someone may come upon her journal (blog) accidentally and find she's still stirring up problems. Things will have to change before I have the heart to champion her cause. I think if my family knows she won't change, communicating will be a tough sell.

      It was a good Christmas. I have a new special someone and she's doing well. Work is a bit slow right now but it'll pick up.

      Happy new year to you and yours,

Not so hot a day

 Hi folks,   

     Sad day here friends. My venerable Quest minivan was totalled in a wreck today. No fault of mine. Claims agents will be out tomorrow to work with me. In the meantime my workplace has lent me a vehicle and are already working on a rental car for me. The company I work for is very considerate in helping me. Friends and work buddies have stepped up to help too. Soon I hope to have another van and be back on the road.

    The ex was a 2nd thorn in my side today. I called her and initially told her I wouldn't be picking up the daughter for religion classes. After I got a short term vehicle I called and left a message on the ex's cell phone telling her I WOULD be picking up the daughter. She obviously didn't check her cell phone 'cause she called me live and was bothered I informed my daughter I was still coming yet the ex hadn't got her message yet. She did later apologize.  My youngest was speculating the other day on why the ex and I don't get along. How do you tell her her mom is selfish, mean and self centered. Get this, she actually believes she's right about most everything. She values her "freedom of speech" to write bad things about me over the need to get along with each other for our kids sake.

    No more Baronette. After a recent spat I signed off with her for the last time. She practically accused me of lying despite me telling her the truth about something. Nuff said. Goodbye JH.

   Ho hum, tonight van blue book value hunting, Later.

Today a blurb,

   Humph, why is it my ex's current husband can't get the message. The guy can't be trusted. He'll say bad things about people on the net and thinks it has no consequence 'cause it's private and he's anonymous. DUH, wake up guy. What you say bad is bad regardless of where and when. Just because someone may not know you're saying bad things makes it no better. The same applies to my ex.

   Today I dropped my girls back at their mom's. The above mentioned doofus tried to be nice to me. This guy is fucked up. If he or my ex read this blog ever again, TELL HIM TO KEEP TO HIMSELF. It so feels like a back stabber weaseling his way in. You can't be nice in person to be with and a jerk on the web. It's duplicitous. It's all real life.

   Yeah, I know, I'm saying bad things too. No worry. I gave him a fair gentlemans chance. We shook hands so I thought it would stop. WRONG.

    Good gosh.....TBB
