Agreed.
Right or Wrong, she is still my country warts and all. I fought for her once and if asked I'd do it again. (I don't say I agree with all of her decisions - but she is still MY country).
As far as an answer to the original question - I doubt if I'll ever have that option! Anyway, I wouldn't know anybody there anyway!

I'd like Him to say " you did the best you could, lived your life the only way you knew how to, and beat yourself up way too hard for things you should never have worried about. Now relax, for all you ever wanted is right here with me*. "
*And that should include, cigarettes, booze, crazy parties and a man perfect for me!

And the sultans - yeah the sultans
they play creole...Creole, baby

If God should happen to come into my life, maybe I had better leave him my name and address or he might not remember who I am!!!

God would say - 'Can I have what you're smoking?'
And we would be best buddies forever.

It's not getting any smarter out there. You have to come to terms with stupidity, and make it work for you.

He's say "Welcome home, and don't worry, your lying, cheating husband's name is not on the door".
Not that I'm bitter. Just wish he'd go to hell.

Get on with your life, SB - you are being consumed with hatred which is doing you no good at all.

yes, anger is part of the healing process. better to get it out of her system now than suppress it and have to deal with cynicism the rest of your life.
