I always pray for Divine Order in all things. Mel, I know how very much you want to be with her and let her know once again how much you love her and are grateful to her for giving you life and for all the nurturing and nourishing thngs she has always done for you. If she should pass before you get there, know that she will always be close to you (once a mom, always a mom), and for her own reasons and comfort she was ready to go. I send you my love and to your Mum, peace, comfort and an easy transition.
If she knew that you had found your so-called soul-mate, you would not have to force her to divorce you! You've got to realize that she has not found her soul-mate yet, so give her a break and let her divorce you as an adulterer and move on.
.... It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me. ~ Maya Angelou
Shanti is my dog. She was named by her first owner who adopted her from the Gila Indian Reservation in AZ, It means "peace within" in Sanskrit. My cats are: Mitzi, named after Mitzi Gaynor for her long legs; Charlie, named after Bonnie Prince Charles of Scotland; and Smokey, named after our favorite Nascar driver, Tony Stewart.
Yeah, Ed1530, you got it right! - The first to speak English were the English. But English women also, not just the men. (From about the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066, people living in Britain were called English and were considered to speak English.)
On March 16, 1966, at 704 E. Broadway, in Anaheim, California, brothers Paul Van Doren, James Van Doren, and three other partners opened up their first store. The Van Doren Rubber Company was unique in that it manufactured shoes and sold them directly to the public. On that first morning, 12 customers purchased Vans deck shoes, which are now known as Authentic. The shoes made that day were ready for pick-up in the afternoon. (Wikipedia)
It is said that the first checkered Vans were worn by some dude in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" a movie made in 1983 ... BUT
...my son and his friend drew checkers on their shoes with their ballpoint pens when they were in 7th grade in 1980. When CHECKERED Vans came out after 1983, he bought a pair and he has been wearing this style ever since, even tho he is 47 years old!!
So I ask you, WHO invented checkered Vans?
I have read of studies where random number generators, for instance coming up 0 or 1, can be affected by human conscious in double blind experiments. So I have a tendency to believe that we each generate our own luck knowingly or unknowingly.
My best gifts are my children. I watched both of them come into this world. It is the greatest miracle of life to watch your children being born. I am so blessed. I am so grateful.
Wow - that's quite a whirlwind ... but it could work. We have to think the best and support these young lovers. My current hubby and I were together 3 years before we got married. We've been through a hundred ups and downs at least and there is a lot of "air" between us (Gemini & Aquarius), but we really love each other and tell each other every day how much we love our lives together. My first husband was my HS sweetheart - I was 14 when we started dating and 21 when we got married with a dozen boyfriends in between for me. It lasted 12 years.
If the other person is your spouse, and you end up in a divorce, you could be cited for abandonment, which will have an effect on any subsequent settlement.
