#1 Six out of seven portfolios comes to 83% success. So what's the problem? Not being in the catbird's seat any more got you depressed? You only got 40 seats out of 278 because you listened to your idiotic Muslim Clerics Association. Learn or die, and grow up a little.

#2 Why be logical when there's an opportunity to seethe?

#3 tw -- Two? *gasp*

Lol! I never had much use for "civilization" - did without it for the first 20 yrs, in fact - and then I finally tried a little. New world. The mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers like me eventually discover the value in the "shaken, not stirred" subtleties. I got it - and get it, now. Civilization has some merits and deserves preservation, heh. I'm glad you're passing it on.

But two? Lol! Mein Gott! I abase myself!

#4 Of course two, .com, so that the daughters don't fight when it comes time to use them. I have two old fashioned espresso pots, too, the stove-top style that makes Italians weep in memory of the one Mama had on her kitchen stove. (None of those new-fangled hissing things for me!) Literally, in fact -- I was shocked at the response when I brought them to the table. The world needs us both -- I'll preserve choice bits of "civilization" (but not Stephen Glass compositions, 'k?) and you keep the world safe to be civilized in. And then, young man, we will discuss your foolish delusions about knuckle dragging... but do feel free to abase yourself until then, should you feel the need. I think that ex-wife of yours got a few things wrong there ;-)

#5 Lol! Perfection posted, heh. And now I get it regards the two-fisted melon attack profile I had imagined... Re: espresso - I believe I know which style you mean... heirlooms, methinks... Le Ex had ambitions that a mere 3 or 4 cleaned out husbands could not provide. She's slowing her rate of consumption, finally, but still pursuing economic independence. She seems to enjoy waxing nostalgic with me. I have a rather different reaction, heh. What was this thread topic? Lol! ;-)

#6 I would be very wary about marrying anyone who has been divorced more than once.Seems to me that the multi-divorced person should take a hard look at what they are/aren't doing right.Certainly they should re-evaluate how they choose a mate.For me,I have been married/divorced once.It sucked and I am not going through that painfull crap agin.

#7 Thread topic: seething when grossly unrealistic expectations are unmet.

.com, I think you are thinking about the wrong pot. Mine are $11 for 6-serving jobbies, and can be found in coffee shops near universities, and little shops serving an international clientele with limited funds.

Gentlemen, I am sorry that you met up with parlor spider females ("Come into my parlor," said the spider to the fly), but at least you are better off than my brother, whose spider drove him to suicide. Of course, he did thusly avoid the pain of divorce...

#8 ...which is led by Abd al-Aziz al-Hakim.

Rough week. First the Lions cut him, now this...
