My ex spent about ten years living the carefree, unattached, I-need-a-man-like-a-fish-needs-a-bicycle lifestyle that she claimed she wanted when we split up. Then she did a total 180 and married an extremely conservative retired military officer. She now lives with Neocon Hubby on a ranch in Crawford, Texas (Yes, right down the road from Dubya's spread.) where she raises miniature burros and goats.
