no really....

you guys are travellers. you know love hurts.

try meeting someone from across the sea on the thorn tree

(not bullshitting)

getting to know each other as kindred misfits

and falling apart one piece at a time

major magic drain. major bummer.

Not trying to be a dick, and I probably don't know what I'm talking about, but instead of hanging out in the forum maybe you should be hanging out with her. Take her dancing or something. Just a thought...

My Vote got 2% - duh!.

Well! I guess I must be alone!. I voted for the kids - years did not count. Well reason is - first wife died after 22 years of marriage - Things got progressively worse = she died of colon cancer - a very unusual thing for a woman to get - since this is usually a male disease. Thing is that it had attacked her liver well over 50% - so its was just a matter of time before everything shuts down. I had no ideal how important the liver was - off course all of our organs are important - hell without em we can't go on - well most of them at least = - then got remarried too dam quick - kind of forced into it by well meaning friends - but it was my choice. Came back from Somalia and found out she couldn't account for over $25K - so thats when I said - time to go!@. Then I got stupid again - and did it again when I got to Rwanda - brought her here and now the shit hits the fan - everyday is a dam fight on my hands!. I am tired of this shit!. But I know what needs to be done!. Problem is there is a little one whom I love dearly in the middle and things are getting messy and downright problematic!. So will I ever do this again - unlikely - but I am going along the old adage that its cheaper to keep her!. Hoping that someone else can take her off my hands! that would make things easier!. She goes out with her boyfriend and I really dont give a shit! either way - my boy is my concern - nothing else!. And my studies! off course!. Right now - she is taking a vacation and damm its hell around this fucking house!. Man when is she going back to work! so I can get some peace and quiet!. So sayeth the Sarge!. Help - send me a goon squad!.

Staying together for the kids = bad idea.
It can give them the wrong idea of what a normal relationship is.
When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? To surrender dreams - -this may be madness; to seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness! But maddest of all - -to see life as it is and not as it should be.

Which one?
I'm guessing you mean "Pirate vs Ninja: The Ultimate Battle"

those men aren't for you then. simple as that. i mean, who the fuck cares if a man likes you or not? just get on with being yourself and let the cards fall where they may.
Omit needless words.
