The good ex-husband

“I had to get my daughter up early to register for school today. She drove to her Mom's house to meet her friends. When I got to work she called and told me her Mom's house was flooded. Busted water heater.

Well Mom is out of town and the daughter is leaving to be first in line at school. So the Good ex-husband left work and shut off the water. The door was unlocked so I went in to turn off the circuit breaker to the water heater and make sure there wasn't anything else wrong.

The place was a lake. I thought about peeing on the living room carpet, but since my daughter lives there most of the time I did not.

I am the good ex-husband.”

“Hey! Who are YOU?

And what have you done with the REAL bacpac???”

“pat yourself on the back for me bacpac.”

“Bacpac, you do have a heart. I'd even bet that you would put a severely injured stray dog out of its misery.
I imagine if it was the ex you wouldn't have run over, but it was your daughter looking for help.”

“Not to blow sunshine up your butt or anything.. but good going. Life's too short to remain bitter.”

“But you didn't do it because the ex-wife was once your wife, you did it because your daughter lives there. And you knew that your daughter would appreciate it. So this makes you a major softee, huh? Next thing you know (in the future) you'll be taking your daughter to Lamaze classes because her husband had to go away on business. And then you'll be manning the video camera at the preschool graduation. Pouf, before you know it, you'll be in a motorhome with the grandkids, your daughter's mother in law and a dog. You might want to get the revolver out now.”

“You know, I was really kidding. Put the revolver down and enjoy a beer.”

“good going, bacpac.”

“Next thing we know you'll be thinking about marrying Texaswoodswoman.

OH WAIT!! I did see you propose on a thread.”

“thats kool

water damage is responsible for most insurance claims i indiana, i heard. (many are froze and pop)

plus it sounds like you just may have risked your life. did u turn the main off outside first? i've been shocked a good one in a flooded basement. and i wasn't headin for the box. good thing for breakers!

careful”

“Seems like most folks are surprised.

I am the good father, the good son, the good brother, the good friend, the good neighbor, and the good ex-husband. I am just not the good TT'er.”

“sounds like you have your priorities right.”

“You can only wallow in the bs so long, then its time to get on with it. What do they say, time heals all wounds, or it time wounds all heels?”

“both”

“Artex, I resent that remark! ;o)”

“yikes.

Thanks for the visual.”

“LOL!”

“You're a better man than me Gunga Din!”

“And to think that bacpac let that one slide, Sunshine!”

“He's reformed, as of late.”

“Seems a bit like that, eh Adakhiker?”

“Yep!”

“Now Paul, will ya just pick one dang person and be IT!

By the way, do you know who spindle bindlle stiff slim jim is?”

“I still find it difficult to grasp the fact that bacpac has a daughter.

But, regardless, good job bacpac. You are the good ex-husband and the good father!”

“With a split personality I am never sure who I am. But it allows me to have twice the fun on TT.
-----------
No, I don't know. I thought it was mentioned on one of the strings. Maybe that will be my next TT name!”

“the good ex-husband is a dead one...




oohhh im sorry i thought we were talking about mine.. hehehe


yes you did very good for not allowing your ex's house flood. but i have a question.

do you pay for any of it?
i mean house payments?”

“I have no problems with bacpac. He speaks his mind like everyone else here. It's just that his views are unpopular. That doesn't make him a misanthrope or a bad person.

So, what constitutes a good TTer Bacpac?”

“bacpac and "good ex husband" used in the same paragraph.....WTF???


It is a sign of the times.....the end is near!!!!”

“coochie coochie bacpac! :-)”

“misanthrope - someone who scorns or hates humanity.

humanpackmule - If you keep throwing those big words at me, I'll never get out of here.

Bacpac is definitely not an misanthrope. But is he the one who stated that he had enought friends and did not need (or want) any more? I think we should throw a big bash for him and try to expand his group of friends. He does not appear to be too different from me, except in age. I had to help an ex- with a flooded home, too. But it was more than water. The outside burried septic tank pump went out in a frozen Minnesota winter. He is beating his own drum about being a good ex-. I am ex- to several. I keep beating my own drum about some things.

I nominate Bacpac for TT Social Chairman.”

“I was going to suggest bacpac throw another party, but then I looked at the end of his last one.

Nevermind. It was ugly, ugly, ugly.”

“Good job bacpac. If you are good all the time to most everybody, I see now why you must be a jerk on TT. You gotta' blow off the steam somewhere. Again, good job!”

“"I'm always doing what I think I should
Almost always doing everybody good
Why
Do I wanna do right, of course but
Do I really wanna feel I'm forced to
Answer you, hell no..."

bacpac and Fiona Apple...soulsistas. ROTFLMAO!!
;-)”

“Good? You should have taken out a fat insurance policy, plugged in a hairdryer and jumped in.

Ü”

“At least I am not the only bad TT'er.”

“Have we even heard the whole story?
Just what DID you do???”

“It is not what I did it is what I didn't do!”

“That's right.....he didn't p!ss in the floor.”

“I suspect that a bad TTr might be someone who doesn't steal company time to post here.”

“You claim you didn't whiz on the carpet but should the ex buy a new toothbrush when she gets home?”

“You must think I am sick!


























Didn't think of it.”

“Lizs, I resent that remark and I will hunt you down and make you pay. I've had enough challenges in my life so far, why compund it by that statement.

I don't get mad, I get even. Watch your back, Woman!”

“But Tex, he did propose. All of trail talk has been on the edge of our seats waiting for your reply.”

“txwoodswoman - Lizs spoke the truth. We've all been waiting for your answer. Thought maybe you were doing it by e-mail.

Sorry I don't recall the string. Anyone?”

“What's it gonna be girl?”

“Thanks, Violin.Your link is great. Only thing missing is a picture of bacpac on his knees.

(After searching, I posted without rechecking.)”

“Where's Phil? This is historic, the first proposal posted on TT.

It was straightout, no strings attached. It is probably legally binding. What do you think, Chili36?”

“Lizs, I resent that remark and I will hunt you down and make you pay. I've had enough challenges in my life so far, why compund it by that statement.

I don't get mad, I get even. Watch your back, Woman!"

Who couldn't love a woman like that?”

“Bacpac, I'm sure your a nice, uh, a nice, uh SPECIES, but definitely not my type. Sorry, the answer is NO.

However, if we pass on the trail again and you are inclined to say hello and introduce yourself this time, I will gladly hand over a Snicker's (r) bar.”

“Ahhhhhhhhh.”
