Merry Generic Winter Day-Off With No Religious Content

[notcasesensitive]

I just started reading television without pity again, after a long hiatus, and this recaplet of the last Apprentice episode is one of the funniest things I have ever read. I don't think it is even necessary that you watch The Apprentice to enjoy it. My Thursday afternoon gift to you.


ETA: on reread, maybe you do have to watch the show to get it. but just read the last four sentences if that is the case.

He is a much better person than I. (sigh)

Better isn't the adjective. I think you mean "softer touch."

I'm a fan of the more volcanic reaction... the one you can't fix afterward. You bf's probably right in his approach, but I'd say you've a damn good reason to be steamed.

Do something vindictive. That always makes me feel better.

or ever step through the door of one (drive up to one?) But yes, please let us know what you were trained to do there. It'll only be of value as a cautionary tale, but still, it's of value in that sense.

If it was, I would have tried to put the moves on gwinc.

Am I the only one on here who hates pickles?

I can understand your bf's insistence. If your ex is against him coming, or if he'd been surprised by it, that could be an awfully uncomfortable and unpleasant situation.

But your ex's insistence that the bf not sleep over is ridiculous. What is he thinking? That you'll never have sex with the Brazenette in the house? That she'll never know that you are involved with someone else?

I would set a pretty strict expiration date for that policy. (I'm assuming that you also aren't allowed to fuck other people in the house while the little one is home. If not, that could affect things.)

Yes, and that explains your non-trophy schlong.

If BnB isn't sleeping with her bf when the kid's around because she wants to protect herself in a custody battle, that's a different issue. From what she said, I thought she was just respecting her ex's wishes -- wishes that I personally think are thoroughly disrespectful of her -- because she's nice.

Nope, it's her bf who is being respectful and nice.

Or, how about this article from the Village Voice, which I saw on Gawker about married people who never get laid? It's enough to make a spinster cry: Village Voice link

According to polls, married people have sex more often than single people. Course, cheffie and the wife alone are probably enough to skew the polls.

There are no custody issues. We are divorced. We share custody, although I am the primary custodial parent.

My ex wishes that no one sleep in the house with the Brazenette here. I think that also means he would like me not to have sex with anyone while she is in the house. So far, I have not had anyone sleep over or had sex with the Brazenette in the house.

That said, I've only dated this one guy and he's the only guy I wanted to (or did) introduce to the Brazenette. I will eventually marry him and live with him. At that point, the ex will have to deal.

I agree it's shitty and petty of the ex. He thinks I should keep my social life separate from my daughter. That works up until the point that you want to integrate someone you love into your WHOLE life, not just your social life.

Hell, at this point he'll have to deal, because I just bought the bf tickets to come to Colorado with me.

OK, so you will honor (and told your ex you would honor) your ex's wish that you not have your bf sleep over at your own home when your daughter is there, but you don't want to give him any say in whether you take a vacation with the daughter and the bf, during which vacation you and the bf share a bedroom at night?
