How to navigate this site …
I write for me.  I realize that not everything that I post will interest everyone.  It’s not meant to.  Bluemoo, for instance, is not much of a poem person.  Others may not want to read my ex-husband jabs/ancedotes or the warped introspections … perhaps you visit this site only for the quote of the day.
I’m just glad that you do visit …
I basically write to purge things from my heart and mind.  I do hope, however, that if you read something here that will touch you, make you laugh, make you feel a little better about your life, give you a smile … basically have some positive impact on you and your day.
To make this easier for you…
I had decided to color code the headers.  I have doing this to some extent already, but I will publish today the key for it.  This way you can skip to what you consider the good stuff.  Enjoy!

Stupid Ex-Husband Tricks

Trick #2
After a particularly nasty fight, Jason, the ex, said in a fit of rage that he would kill himself if I left the house for any reason.  He was doing this in hopes of keeping me at home instead of going to a family reunion.
I, of course, read through his bluff, knowing he was too conceited to do it.  I told him not to make a mess and handed him a mop on my way out the door.

Stupid Ex-Husband Tricks

Trick #1
Once when he thought I was going to leave him, Jason took a used tampon and some of my hair from the shower drain and had a friend help him put a ‘spell of binding’ on me. The spell was supposed to make me love him and only him until the spell was undone. The only catch was that he could have no bad thoughts while casting the spell. He was pissed off about something when he did it, so the spell had a negative effect on me. I couldn’t explain why, but for some reason the sound of his voice made me want to scream. Stupid, stupid man…

Quote of The Day:

Anything I’ve ever done that ultimately was worthwhile…
initially scared me to death.
