sad weekend

this thread is so interesting

Off Topic has nothing on us.

maybe...but can you compete with mena?

I've never actually been over to MENA. I've heard they're our alter-ego, so I give them respect, but I choose to post in the region-specific forums about (at least at first) regionally-specific topics. I think stirring someone else's pot specifically for that purpose is for the OT forum or for sites other than VJ.

But, Charles, as Bro Dean would say "you're a right thinking kind of guy" and I wouldn't mind seeing you here at all. Most of the "visitors" that we've had that p!$$ me off are generally females from (or with fiances from) Canada or the U.K. that come here specifically to tell us how chauvinistic we are. I've heard MENA gets the same thing (only opposite direction....) but I'm not really interested in actively seeking out more ignorance. There's plenty of MENA related ignorance in the media everyday. I don't need to visit their forum to know they get more than they deserve.

What kind of thinking do you consider "right"? I'm just curious.

People who are left brained I assume.....

People who have the cojones enough to state their own opinion but still respect the position of others without getting all 3rd grade on them. Charles has demonstrated several times in the OT forum his ability to make, and hold, his own point while there's popcorn being slung all around him..... even sometimes AT him!

Respecting someone's point of view is a good way of putting it.

"You're wrong... but you're allowed to be wrong."

popcorn being thrown at me is sometimes the least of my worries

but mena is still the most fun for forums

well, where do i start.....friday, my wife said she was going to a chiropractor at noon...she was in an auto accedent march 30th....she never came home until the next day at noon with the police to remove her things...WOW !!!..........i had paid for my wife to go back to russia for three weeks (2nd 3 wk trip in 12 months) i stayed at home with her kids and catered to their every need....whe she arrived back on may 3rd, i went out and bought her a new car, the last car was destroyed in the accedent...that was 2 1/2 wks ago....she began speaking on the phone in russian very often, and meeting her russian girlfriends...i heard her speaking to a man in russian on the phone, and she said it was a friends boyfriend who needed advice....i am not one to be jealous, so i let it go....whe she came back from russia, she said she had to go to the russian embassy for a transfer of property...that appt is today.

bottom line, we never had any problems or arguments, other than normal disagreements in marriage...i don't know if she has received her green card...she was on fbi name check...but i was always at work when the mail arrived at the house...i tend to think i was duped.....i wish all good luck...it has been a tough long weekend, and i know she has received help because she has no job....., as far as money, she has helped herself to my wallet daily for 1 1/2 yrs...don't let my sad story influence your lives...i truely wish all of you love and happiness......

I'm so sorry!
