Chris has the most amazing blue eyes!! I can't wait to see his video!!

I'm out til morning, just wanted to be the first poster ... cause I'm weird like that!!!

Night!; April 14, 2010 at 1:18 AM
Anonymous said...: Every time I see Chris' name and link it makes my heart skip a beat for a moment because I am THAT touched.

Karen, Chris is loving all of this ego-padding talk of how dreamy he/his eyes are.

My mom knows Chris has been really missing his gay activism activities and dating.......so she said, I have the BEST idea....we should, all together as a family take him to a gay bar!!!

I told him about it when I called him to say goodnight. He said "Greeeeat. Just what I always wanted, The Clampetts Go To Oilcan Harry's".; April 14, 2010 at 2:08 AM

I deleted a couple of my posts from yesterday about my friend. Just made me uncomfortable leaving it up.

AP- I have no understanding of divorce law. I just really hope that she doesn't get screwed, no fault or not. She deserves to just get this done and over and move on.; April 14, 2010 at 8:29 AM

Taiya - I'm sorry for what your friend is going through. I was able to read when I got caught up this morning and that is just very upsetting. Is it bad if I say I hope her husband gets screwed in the divorce?

Oh, and I'm sorry for the Justin Bieber video. It's awful, isn't it?

Sandy - I'm glad that the first IEP meeting went well. Let's hope that the other one will too.

Lindsay - I hope your son is fine :)

Elisabeth & Chris - I love the term 'queerple' -It's awesome :P; April 14, 2010 at 8:59 AM
Lisa said...: 'Morning, everyone!

Elisabeth, so was that a yes or no on Chris' part about taking him out to the bar?

Taiya, she shouldn't get screwed but she probably ought to expect an equal division of everything and not getting any more than he does in the divorce. If she does better than that - wonderful! But it'll be best if this is what she actually expects so she's not too upset. I do hope she'll be okay.

Angie said...: Hi all! Christy, it was great to see you back here last night – I was wondering where you’ve been.

AP, what did you think about Lost last night? I liked it a lot – I’m a huge Hurley fan – and the previews for next week were chilling! I can’t wait!

CK, the judges liked Crystal (of course), Tim Urban (who Simon said went from “zero to hero” in two weeks – I was so happy for the kid; he’s been through the ringer), Big Mike, Lee Dewize, and Blonde haired guy. Three of the four judges liked Katie (all but Simon). I liked her for about the first time.

Glee was awesome! I love that show! There are so many funny jokes flying so fast through parts of it, and the acting is just terrific. The scene where jock guy is singing and comes back into the music room and everyone is singing with him, and they show the little gay guy and he is almost hyperventilating? I had to rewind it twice to watch it, it was so funny. That guy cracks me up.

OMG, AP, still with the ~P~ love? Because if he comes here, I’m leaving.

Or at least pouting for a looonnngg time.

Or at least an hour. Hmph.; April 14, 2010 at 9:37 AM
Lisa said...: SW, I LOVED Lost! Finally, it's back to the good, mind-bendy stuff I was missing. I'm a Hurley fan too, and as glad to see this episode about him. This whole deal with Desmond is getting awfully interesting, isn't it?

I hope ~P~ comes here. You'll survive. ;-) Serious question, though - as you think back now, knowing all we do, don't you think he was right about an awful lot of things?; April 14, 2010 at 9:42 AM

Son woke up thank the good Lord, so I think he is head injury free. At least *that kind of head injury.

We all had doubts about Krista then -- we just didn't share them on the board because we knew she was struggling.

You know, while I remember having some pretty rough trolls on OHIH, I just don't remember ~P~ as being particularly nasty. Mostly I just remember him saying things we really didn't want to hear. Well, didn't want to accept. Maybe I'm blocking things out, though.; April 14, 2010 at 10:46 AM

Shannon said...: Good morning my lovelies. I figured I would hang out for a bit before hitting the books hard like yesterday. So many things going on I feel out of the loop LOL but then again it is always that way in a sense :)

My thoughts on ~P~. I actually got to like him/her after a while. Yes there was pot stirring but like AP said I think a lot of it was due to things being pointed out that we really didnt want to hear. There were trolls who were actually pretty ugly and said some pretty harsh things....some I know were actually OHIH members and not just random strangers who came in to start stuff.

I do think that Krista was real as far as being a person. I dont know that things were the way she said they were. And I still have my suspicions about her connections with another member of OHIH. There were just some things that really didnt make sense after I sat back and thought about it.

So there is Shannon's two cents :)

Taiya I really hope that things go smoothly for your friend. Divorce is a scary thing but anymore it is very rare for any screwing to happen in the courts. A lot of the time there is more of a split down the middle.; April 14, 2010 at 11:11 AM
Shannon said...: Sandy I hope that they catch those guys...how scary.

I did see Deadliest Catch last night but ended up trying to fall asleep the last 15 minutes of the show...dammit!!!; April 14, 2010 at 11:13 AM
Robin in Montana said...: I didn't see Deadliest Catch, and only caught about half of American Idol. Have Biggest Loser recorded.

Never got to 'know' ~P~ so have no opinion.

Taiya - I agree with Shannon, unless your friend's husband is willing to roll over (and it doesn't sound like he is) in a settlement agreement that allows her to get more than half, it will most likely be split right down the middle, which, unfortunately, means the new truck and the debt associated with. Doesn't matter if he screwed the girlfriend on the kitchen table with the kids watching. :(

And I don't agree with once a cheater always a cheater in every instance. Not excusing him, just sayin'.; April 14, 2010 at 11:22 AM

OT - CK - I know you're not on now but I really wanted to thank you for recommending Vienna Teng re: music.
I really like her music. I find her song 'My Medea' fascinating. I'm amazed by the way she was able to capture the essence of Euripides' play in that song, from Medea's betrayal by Jason to the murder of her children by him.

Try Low Anthem, This Goddamn House. Indie. I love his voice, and the music is so haunting to me.

And yes,some men (and women) are just cheaters. I worked with several cops that it was just a thing they did -- no real emotion to it, not really getting anything out of it other than a power trip to know they *could get a woman, and a notch on their locker for the other guys to compete with. I do think sometimes there are factors that lead people to cheat, but like Lisa said, no matter how good the relationship, starting a new one before ending an old one is not a great idea.; April 14, 2010 at 11:49 AM

RiM- I just found out from a mutual friend that he has apparently cheated before, but his wife doesn't know that. He has been seen around the place where he works (where unfortunately a lot of people we know work) and no one said anything. Which is awesome.

Hey, as long as she doesn't actually get screwed over any worse than this, I guess it will be fine. I am glad we live in a no fault state, just for the fact that it can't be worse for her than it is right now.; April 14, 2010 at 11:55 AM
Anonymous said...: Hi Margaret!

RiM- I like that song :)

I don't know how it is in the US but here, it is known that doctors are not famous for their faithfulness. Seriously. I think it must be similar to what you describe with the cops with whom you worked. The feeling of 'power' drive them, I guess.; April 14, 2010 at 11:59 AM
Robin in Montana said...: Taiya -- that's lovely about him cheating before. I know in this state, it's a no fault state, and a 50/50 split, but Kelly is ending up giving her a little more than 50/50, for one, to avoid trial and more cost, and second, because she has a heart condition that they are saying they will go after spousal support for (which is not typically allowed) if he doesn't just agree. She makes way more than she is claiming, but she is claiming that due to her 'heart condition' (which is an arythmia (probably spelled wrong,not looking it up) that she has had since she was a kid and is very well controlled with meds) prevents her from making more money. It's probably something he could win if he chose to fight it in trial, but for what extra she's getting, it's not financially a good decision to fight her. He's ending up paying a *lotmore in child support than he ought to due to her not claiming her actual income, but in the long run, again, he feels like it woudl cost more to fight, send a message to his kids that they aren't 'worth it,' and that he'd rather pay that extra amount,knowing it *does benefit his kids and that it's fairly temporary.

T@iy@ said...: I am going to whine a minute, too.

My bank called me last week and a scheduled payment that I had went out for $4 instead of $400. They assured me that they were going to send a check *that day with a certified letter explaining that it was *their mistake. Well, yesterday we got a copy of the letter and it stated that our scheduled payment was $4000 and they should expect that. Then I called to make sure that was a typo Ias i have no where near $4000 in my account) and I find out that they just sent a letter. They never sent a check. Well, i had a grace period that will run up by the time they get a payment from me now. I am so pissed. Do. Your. Damn. Job.

Then when i called she said "Oh, I guess we had a hard time reading the decimal point in the letter, didn't we?" There wasn't a decimal point. So I pointed that out and I mentioned the fact that a late payment will be on my credit and I will now have a late fee, and she said "Well, if you *want we can help with that and talk to the company." Oh, no, I don't want. I am happy paying a late fee for your mistake. I really wanted to just say Bite Me and hang up the phone since I am already in a pissy mood. Ugh.

Robin in Montana said...: Sandy - I just checked, very quickly, and I believe all states are now no-fault, so cheating behavior doesn't affect financial distribution. Still, documenting things is of beneift possibly when it comes to custody issues, although again, as long as the behavior isn't happening in front of the kids, it may not matter, either. I could be wrong on *all of that, but that's what my experience with my work leads me to believe.

Robin in Montana said...: I want to do transcription for your state! I did a divorce case where she was a Russian 'mail order' bride (although had a degree to be a doctor and owned property in Russia) and he was an attorney. They apparently had a very interesting sex life, and during some of it,she was required to crawl to him on her knees and ask for sex, and also to refer to his (assumably non-droopy ween) as The King. No shit. It's scarred me for life. lol.; April 14, 2010 at 12:53 PM

Robin in Montana said...: Interesting. I did see what you quoted above, but it then contradicts itself later, saying that property will be distributed equitably, not necessarily equally, without regard to marital misconduct. Just reading all of it really fast, but wondering then what the stuff like impotence or adultry or whatever has any impact on then. The wording here in MT says 'equitably' too, and has a set of factors that play into it. Kelly's 401(k) and pension are being equally split, but only for the amount he actually accrued since they were married and up until the date of separation, for instance. She doesn't just get half of what's there.; April 14, 2010 at 1:06 PM

And he fell getting out of the tub the day before we all came home for Christmas and apparently it was a very traumatic experience (i.e., he was on the floor for a while before Mom heard him calling her).

I am sure they are fun, but when I saw it my first thought was rah rah, it's like an iPhone except too big for my pocket or purse, and I can't actually talk on it. Or take pictures!

Then again, I thought people who were going all bat shit over the iPhones were materialistic twits. Fast forward 3 years.......mom qualified for a killer deal on an unlimited text and data plan from AT&T after having service with them for ages.....and she had $200 in phone rebates. So she got Chris and me each the older $99 ones for Christmas......and it is definitely my most used gift ever. And I don't think it's an exaggeration to say for Chris, it helps preserve his sanity.

He's too weak to hold the phone up and talk a lot, so he uses the speaker all the time......and he sends literally a hundred texts a day keeping in touch with all the people he used to see all the time before the stroke. It's hard for him to type one handed, so he uses a free app called Dragon Dictation which allows him to speak his text messages.

Check it out gals, I used this "one click installation" software.......and only 6 hours later, I have a blog on Chris' site!
http://care4chris.110mb.com/blog

He was lobbying hard to call it My Big Fat Greek Homo, but I went with My Brother's Keeper instead.

Lots going on with this group today......Kristin, my h-town homegirl....I hope your day gets better and that if you DO still need to punch someone, you have a very very selfless and brave friend around!

To the lady whose husband is apparently a total f'ing moron.....I know she's not reading here but I will definitely be praying for her. I really cannot imagine going through that.

And to (I swear I will make it a priority to learn names) the poor gal whose son was in pampers like 8 hours ago and now he's "going out" with a worldly older
woman? I think you are doing a great job with walking the line between giving him space and letting him talk to this girl, and watching him to make sure his inexperience doesn't bite him in the keester.

Seriously........10 year olds "going out". Insane. When I was 10 I probably thought "penis" was a French word for broccoli or something. Now kids "these days" get more from watching spongebob than I did from a biology class.
