Shall we do flamefuls or confessions to liven the board up?
Or did we get those all out of our system yesterday and need something else to talk about?

I'm so boring I don't have anything juicy!!
Ditto!
Actually....mine is the same from last week. I'm considering going on a date with a guy from Match. I don't know if I'm attracted to him, exactly, but he's a lawyer and our conversations have been good thus far (even if I'm not feeling that huge urge to meet, if that makes sense). Here's the maybe flameful part....he's still married, well they filed the paperwork and are waiting on a court date. Annnnddddd they are partners in their law firm, so he works with her everyday. He says they grew apart and are able to be friends/partners without incident. On one hand, I'm all "good for you for being a grown-up" because they have kids and a business, on the other hand, I'm all
because who wants to see their X every.single.day?
Haha, I like that.
I don't have anything, either. BF and I got upgraded to first class for our trip down to the Bahamas (don't know about the return flight, yet), so I plan on drinking lots of booze, even though it's a morning flight. Is that flameworthy enough?
I would do the same thing. I drink a bit on long flights lol
Ha! I used to sing "When he cheats" REALLY loud in front of XH when it came on the radio lol.

I would be a huge hypocrite to flame that lol. Last weekend when I went snowboarding we started drinking Vodka on our second or third run. it was like 10am maybe? haha
Yeah, not sure how I would feel about this....

Mine is pretty bad (IMO).
A good friend is also dating a guy who is AFR. I got on her case (bad) because she told him that she "couldn't do this anymore" because he might get deployed for 6 months.
Yet, earlier this week I said that BF might go active which includes a deployment and I said it might be a deal breaker.
Hypocrite, much??

I am seeing ex's being good friends after the divorce being very common now days. Though, there got to be some boundaries. I have run into friends whose roommates are their ex while they are dating other people. I think this would make me insecure if I was the girlfriend. My xh and I get along very well when we are together with DS, other people sees us and they say they see nothing changed compared to when we were married. However, I wouldn't want to see him everyday and especially not without DS.
Oh yeah, that would be super awkward. And what if you had to go hang out at their place while their roommate/ex was home??? Nooo thanks!
Last night I found out XH's XW got her 2nd divorce and I feel like I am thinking about it too much.
One, because she needs to quit effing wh0ring it up and bringing men in and out of my stepson's life - he's 7 and she's told him to call 3 different men "daddy". (i know, not my stepson anymore. none of my biz.)
Two, because she was such a tw@t to me during the whole split, even though she was supposedly a victim too, I am thinking, 'ha, serves you right' (what a crappy thing to think)
Three, because while we were together and semihappy, XH and I called her divorce a year and a half ago. I got a little sad thinking how we would have shared a laugh about it, or at least that at one time we were... on the same page, i guess. (i am pissed at myself for not being as detached as I thought I was.)
OK, you can flame.
Okay, my confession is I kind of have a crush on one of our sales guys at work. He lives in Colorado though, and I live in Washington. He has the sexiest voice everrrrr. And we email and text all the time.
And it's kind of funny because he manages our cell phone accounts and we buy all our phones through him and everything...... and that's how I met my ex husband haha. He was our phone guy. How weird is that?
And I guess I do have a flameful! I am terrible at letting guys down after dates if I don't like them. This last guy I went on 3 dates with, decided I didn't like him, but I didn't tell him right away, so now I feel awkward like dangit I should have just told him right when I realized I wasn't going to like him!!! But I think he's sort of gotten an idea that i'm not into it since I don't text him anymore or send very long replies, so now he hasn't texted me. I don't know if he's given up? I feel bad cuz he was a nice guy, I'm not going to say anything unless he texts me again, if he does then I'll tell him I just want to be friends or something. cuz really he is a cool guy, and I'd still be friends with him.
This isn't the least bit flameful. As long as the alcohol is mixed with orange juice, tomato juice, or coffee, it's perfectly acceptable! Cheers!
Haha okay that may be hypocritical of you! Is there any difference between her BF's deployments and your BF's? Would him going back to active duty change more in your lives than just the deployment?
I could never deal with a deployment, so I just don't date military guys haha. Plus I've known too many of the bad ones to really trust them because I can't help but feel like they are all the same, even though logically I know it's just a stereotype! Which sucks since I live really close to an army/air force base so there are tons of military guys around haha.
Haha how about red bull? It was dragonfruit vodka and redbull! And it was way way strong lol. But SUCH a fun day!! And don't worry, I wear a helmet, and I have a rule that if I ever get out of control or run into anyone I quit for the day.
I'm terrible at breakups, too. I put off breaking up with the guy I was dating before BF for a whole week (not calling him or texting or anything during that week) because I was dreading it so much. When I finally called him and said that I wasn't really interested anymore, he was like "I kinda figured." And then I felt like a b!tch. True story.
Yep, that's fine too because it was dragonFRUIT vodka. Fruit is acceptable for breakfast
I'm thinking orange juice + vodka. They probably don't serve mimosas, even in first class. I wonder if white wine + orange juice would be an acceptable substitute, although it will be sorely lacking in bubbliness. Hmmmm....
I like your thinking
Mmmm mimosas... orange juice and tequila is good, if you like tequila. I love tequila. I want some tequila....
Ugh I'm super terrible. Last time this happened I just stopped responding to the guy. Luckily it was just one text and he never sent another. But still, I'm a terrible biatch.
Don't get me wrong...I'm glad people can divorce and still be friends, but seeing them every single day?? I get along pretty well with my XH but there is no way in hell I'd be able to work with him.
I am boring. I have no desire to date, or any energy for anything beyond going out for dinner or a movie with friends.
I am not depressed, just the opposite, but I do wonder if I will get to the point again where dating wont seem like a chore or just exhausting in general.
Nope, no real difference. I just suck. Ugh, please don't tell me about the "bad" ones. I don't need extra shiit to worry about lol!
FYI, we talked last night and he has 2 options:
1) go on deployment with the reserves which would just change our lives in that he would be gone for 6 months
2) go active which would MAJORLY change our lives in that he would either work 1.5 hours from home or we would have to move, which I am not ready to do.
