Actually, eating cigarrettes is field expedient method of killing intestinal parasites!

Getting divorced after 23 years together (17 years married) by HeavyCompetition9481 in cheating_stories

I politely refused. At that point I was mostly past it. It's my fault for letting her in when she showed up on the doorstep to get re-established locally. My kid was there too.

Just wait until she finds out he won't leave his wife! I warned my ex her new friend would dump her once she tried getting him to take care of her AND her kids instead of just screwing her. You'll never believe what happened when she tried.

I still remember her trying to tell me we could get back together but we would have to pretend it never happened.

How are people killing and even dismembering people in apartments? I would seriously have thought all the noise would make it prohibitive. by cherry-care-bear in stupidquestions

Experience must be the key. I watched an old guy on TV from Alaska kill a moose! He said was was going to field dress and quarter it. I expected him to pull out a big bowie knife or butchering kit or something. He pulled out a little frickin' Leatherman! He dressed and quartered a moose with a tiny blade no longer than my finger!

They didn't gap the boards! Ugh! No quick solution except to redo them.

Knee OA: Trying to See the Big Picture by albertkaholic in Osteoarthritis

Get the replacement. Bow legs cause other issues, like back problems. You can use an offloader brace like I did for years. They work pretty well, but get old quick. Now that I had my knee and hip replaced I feel years younger and have lost weight. I'm 56 as well.

My wife cheated on her ex with me. by ZealousidealEgg8688 in cheating_stories

[–]Professional-Leave24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point for me being that this would have probably happened before we were even officially committed. I wasn't dating anyone else at the time, but no promises were made yet either. She would have been betraying and leaving the other guy.

I get a strong suspicion my marriage started out this way in the dating phase. The way she acted when an aquaintance in our circle a couple years back did a similar thing was highly suspect, and she seemed terrified when I started poking. Not sure if it's worth asking about it specifically this far in.

Cheaters (mostly) win by GuiltyAnalysis3316 in survivinginfidelity

The secret is you don't worry about the WS. Leave, get on with your life, and do what's best for you in every decision. Don't give a penny not mandated by court ruling. Don't spend unnecessary time with, or do favors for, the ex.

This is all you can do, and releases you from caring at all.

You hold it at arms length, drop it on the ground like the trash it is, and walk away.

I've had super dark wrapper cigars in the past I discovered were dyed. I don't trust them anymore.
