Hi Dave,
Yours was an excellent refresher course in humanity. Thanks. It reminds me of a great line from Doogie Howser: Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?
Cheers!
Pat

Dave:
Good post. Seems that for whatever faults you may possess, and for however the WT messed you up, you've got your head on pretty straight now. Your posts are usually a voice of calm reason.
Your descriptions of arguing with your ex-wife stike a chord in me. They seem very similar to the arguments I have with my wife, and that my father had with my mother. Funny how sons repeat the sins of their fathers.
The image you try to maintain of your ex is also the image I try to maintain of my current JW wife, the woman who gave me the best thing in my life -- my son. I'd love to sit around and swap war stories sometime over a beer, but we're pretty far apart and I've never made it to Oregon. If you're ever in So. Cal. let me know.
Take care,
CPiolo

TR,
Situations like dealing with Yardirf blow my theory of trying to understand others all to hell. Some times you just need to call a spade a spade (card playing terminology and analogy). As far as logical goes, I wish I had an absolute stance on whether I believe in god or not so I could make the statement "god only knows."
You definitely are the king of comedy here. I always love to read your comments. If you ever slip down to Portland lets get together and smoke some crack or something.
Thanks dude.

I love the quote and agree 100%.
Thanks for the complement.Take care

My twisted little sister. It's women like you that I warn my sons about. I was here and thirsty all summer, what the hell happened to you? It didn't happen to be the fact that I had my phone number changed once I heard you were in town was it?You are such a goof.
Big hug ya little trouble maker.
----------------------------------------CPiolo,
There is an old Zen Master saying. Man does not have control over his own path, he can only repeat that which has come before him. That being his ancestors.
I hope this is not true but I see my many faults that I do not understand being a repeat of some of my dads. I work hard every day trying to learn from his mistakes. My heart goes out to you and your situation. Trust me when I say I know how it is to love someone who you can only sit back and wish thing were different. My last relationship just about did me in. I loved the person who she could have been, but who she turned out to be by little fault of her own broke my heart. Life goes on.
If I ever take a trip down to So.Cal I will try to look you up. I use to live there and still have several good friends around. It's been too long since I visited.
Take care my friend, I know how you feel.

Another place, another time, in another life, you know the rest. It's the story of my life. I hope to start painting again soon.Thanks for the complement.
Big hug and kiss on the cheek,
Dave
