Throughout The Day Post

Not Involved Anymore?
ROFL - yeah right, as if.

Round and round and round and ...

Late Morning
Ahhhh, I feel better now.

Post Lunch
Splurged and had fast food for lunch

Post Dentist and Grocery Shopping
(It was Thunderbolt who had to see the dentist, not me).
Been remembering today something I've often been asked/had commented about her "How old did you say she's meant to be?"

Oh, and earlier ..
I checked out the rules for keeping chooks, and it looks like I wont be getting any. The rules make it almost impossible - 20 square metre enclosure not closer than 9 metres to any house (including my own), made all the harder cos I'm on a corner and therfore have 'back door' neighbours.

And then later...
There is a blog that I read fairly regularly The Narcissist's Secrets. It has been a bit of a strange read sometimes as the person who writes has been being the mistress of a married man.

When she writes what he says to her I often think they are the kinds of things that my partner would have said to his new 'piece on the side'. And sometimes wonder whether the things this person writes are similar to what the 'piece on the side' thought about/felt.

I find it interesting from that perspective - the perspective of 'the other woman' in the love triangle. And interesting to see what folk comment on about the wife (who, in my circumstance, is me).

Sometimes I wish the wife had a blog too!

Reading that blog tonight I came across this comment by a person named Dawn:

"The Steve situation is a touchy one. I know because I was in the same sort of situation quite a few years back and was given the same "don't want to hurt her" line. I am now going through a divorce to that same person. I have to say this......"Once a cheater, always a cheater". "

That comment struck home I guess, cos it's something he and I used to discuss - that he was probably going to do exactly the same thing to the 'piece on the side' as he had done to me, eventually. What does that do to a relationship - when you go into it with that thought in your head? I don't think it's a very healty way to start a relationship.

Interesting too, that the writer of the blog has come to realise that, due to consistent lying by the male (to both her and the wife), that she will NEVER be able to trust him or believe what he says.

It's quite startling at times to read events happening to her that have happened to me, and had things said to her that were said to me ..."I don't love her but I care about her a lot".

At times I wish the 'piece on the side' in my history had come to the same point as the blog-author; other times I'm glad I told the unappreciative, inconsiderate, insensitve user/abuser that he shouldn't live here anymore.



Sometimes it's just nice to know you're not the only person in the world who thinks certain things, I guess it's a kind of validation.

So much I can and would like to say about your post, but I need to find my battery cord for my laptop. I do have one question. What on earth is a chook? LOL!!!!

As my girlfriend's Scottish mother tells her....and she just found out her husband has had affair after affair....keep your pecker up. I thought that was a cute saying.

Hi thoughtsgalore - chooks is Aussie for chickens/hens. I was thinking of getting a couple of them for the backyard, for the eggs and cos my daughter would love it. After seeing the council regulations though I don't think we'll be getting any.

Re your gf's mum - I guess pecker doesn't have the same meaning over there as it does here either; slang for penis! lol
