MammaBear,

   I have to say, you really give me a good laugh just when I need it.  I'm waiting to see how my ex hubby handles being on his own without his high paying job.  Should be interesting.  I've lived my entire life making sacrifices so I know how.......my ex has a lot to learn.

 LMM   I know what you mean . They don't see the consequences that lay ahead. They Fly by the seat of their pants.
 Crazy. I remember in pharmacy school I used to sleep in my car in Queens,NY so I had a good parking space. This after having worked as a waitress all night to pay the bills. He had a motel handed to him and he RAN it into the ground. (before we met)
 No concept. I need popcorn for this one. My sister keeps reminding me that he will wake up and be HORRiIFIED by what he did to his life. (like her H was when he woke up)  My sister had a good one. When that whole arnold Scwarzennegger story broke she called me and said "Did you see his OW? I think she has your Hs beat in the UGLY DEPT"   LOL LOL

My ExH bought a house!
Almost a year after he abandoned his successful business where he earned a 6 figure salary, he spent £150K on a house.  He had decided to become a property developer apparently.  It's only a tiny 2 bed house but 13 months later it is still a shell.  Meanwhile he's paying huge rent to a very smart landlord!

Hula Hoop - that's great

How about - a vespa (scooter)
                   endless talks of upgrading to a motorbike (apparently much safer in the traffic)
                   an old SUV - so old, it continuously breaks down, and thousands are spent on repair each year
                   old 70's ten speed push bike.  All the 'hipsters' ride them
                   a surfboard
                   a longboard (large skateboard)
                   endless amounts of 'young' music
                   studio space that 'everyone' just loves to go to.  Websites showcasing ENORMOUS ego, and endless funky little videos.
                     (Hey, I guess there's time to indulge all of that when you ignore all your responsibilites and your children - wow, what a guy!)          Was he ever that appealing I'm now wondering.
                  Actually he was - he used to be extremely modest ..........  maybe that was a cover up!

                   Our eldest son thinks it all started years ago with the purchase of the leather jacket.  Looking back, I think he's right!!!
     
                    Sons mortally embarrassed.  Remember reading that the sportscar of old MLC has been replaced with SUV's and Motorbikes.
                    Volume of major accidents involving the aging male and motorbikes is scarily high - slowed responses, eye sight fading, may
                   never have experienced riding one before ..........  they are so tragic - are they ever humiliated by all of this?

                  Sounds like we've got an especially tragic version here.  MLC poster boy!!

The hula hoop is pricelss, but a surfboard AND a longboard may be a winner...

 I love the ones brave enough to be running around buying HOUSES AND CONDOS...and the hoola hoop and the skate boards  LOL

At the moment, I'm truly sickened and totally upset with the recent news I just heard about my ex hubby.  He no longer just has 2 motorcycles..........He's now the owner of a "fleet"............count em.........6!!  Does the madness ever stop?  How can they ever survive all this craziness?  It just boggles the normal mind. Definitely not theirs!

[Mamma Bear]

  SIX?  HOLY CRAP? Is he Jay Leno? WTF ? I can't stop laughing. Sorry..

[limitless]

How many can he ride at one time?

This got me thinking about a co-worker who was into boats.  During the time that I have known him (quite a few years) he kept collecting boats.  He no longer has a wife (wonder why?) but  has a fleet of boats and keeps buying them.

Oh well.

BTW - My H has 3 surfboards (all still here) a longboard, a shortboard and I guess one would be called medium.

Thanks for the laugh, Mamma Bear..........you put a spin on my mood.  I'm so disgusted with him at the moment.  I just can't wrap my brain around it.........and he is about to get FIRED!  He's already on Admin. Leave pending investigation.  I understand from my friend/his coworker that the deck is stacked against him.  Things look very bleak in his world.  Just makes me so ANGRY!!
