After I separated from my ex-husband I started thinking about my appereance in a new light. I was very thin then (not now though---thats another joke) and had small breasts. I was seriously considering getting implants and I called my ex and told him my thoughts and asked him what HE thought about it.

He sad "Get one done. If you like it, get the other one done".

After he and were separated for a while, I start drinking rather heavily, not from depression, just bordom. Well, anyway, when talking to him I mentioned that I had been gaining weight and I didn't like it. "Try running back and forth to the liquor store" he quipped.

Maybe that's why we were married for 17 years ;-)

My son, who is now 24, inherited his quick sense of humor.

One day he was very upset with me for reasons I won't go into. Really angry, but he kept his mouth shut, not wanting to argue.

Later in the day, I was feeling tired and went and sat down next to him and said "James, I don't want to get old".

"I don't want you to get old either, Mom.". It took me a minute, then I cracked up laughing and he smiled too.

Love, annamill
