to Nicki2: What I did was be 38 years old,tired of the bar scene and lonely. I put a 'wife wanted' ad in the local newspaper. A hottie responded. My brains went south,I married her. Then I spent the next year finding out what kind of woman marries a guy from a newspaper ad. She was nuts. Spent half the one year of our made-in-hades marriage in the local psycho ward. Last I saw of her she had burglarized everything in my house including the kitchen knives,forks and spoons and moved in with a new to America just off the boat Borat-type Polish guy who thought she was the cat's meow.

He's got a lot less to worry about than I do. My ex-wife stole my S&W .44 Magnum revolver. That was back in 1985 and I still worry she'll show up on my porch some day loaded for bear.

Sorry Tinfoil I am sure you are serious, but I have to wonder what you did that you still have to wonder 24 years later.
