The writing on the wall.
Mood:  not sure

 

 

   Again this year I can tell already that the ex is going to be a stick in the mud for her kids this Christmas. Each year I hope she will get over her self righteous vanity.  Each year I wish the ex and I would try to be friends for the kids. This year like last, my ex gave me a birthday card. This year like last I threw it away without reading it. I hate false attempts at friendship. Getting along for the kids is the best it will get. She may put on her blinders but she knows that I can't and won't be friends with the kind of people who would write bad about me on the world wide web.

   Sorry kids. I hope your mom gets over it.

My crazy ex. She ponders my living with my girlfriend.

I was against my ex having someone move in with because I KNEW she would move her friend/boyfriend now husband up from Florida to be with her. I pushed her buttons to hear her feedback. The situation played itself out just like I thought. I knew she would defend having him live with her. The writing on the wall and the walks like a duck talks like a duck scenario. She planned her whole boyfriend thing long before I questioned her about the move in thing.

My ex and her husband are the only 2 people I don't trust or respect at the current time. There is no issue of righteousness from them. They aren't right enough in their own opinions to regard. Would you indulge opinions from someone you can't trust? Never lend credibility or worry about the rants of people like this.

I lived with my ex before we were married. I would not have done it if we had kids from separate relationships. I would not have thought about living with someone now but yes, my ex did it and I hope to be doing it as well. Principle, right?

Never indulge the vain and self righteous. They may get to think they actually are right.

Good Day...TBB

Cave Adventures
Mood:  energetic

Hi Readers,

        Things are going good these days. I'm spending this week with 2 of my daughters. This past weekend we wanted to cool off so I took them to some unique caves.

                  

    These caves were man made many years ago. Granite rock was taken out yet the structure stayed intact. The complex is still accessible and people travel from far away to see it. It was a welcome adventure on a hot day. My girls loved it. Glad to share this with you. I hope all my friends are doing well.

    The Blue Baron.

 

Vanity unfair
Mood:  chillin'
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'

Now Playing: I wouldn't want to be like you. Alan Parsons

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,

      TBB
