Thank you. To me discipline is very important. Argh, Alimony… Whew, I don’t like that word. Glad I don’t have to worry

Damn. I’ve always thought that the worst thing a woman could do to a guy she was seeing was get pregnant on purpose. Didn’t even consider the option of trying to pin a baby on him. Damn.

That was a lucky escape…but not just luck, because if you hadn’t built up the discipline to say “no” then no escape for you. Great reminder that discipline pays off.

I don’t see how someone could live with that for the rest of their lives. Maybe she’d only need to long enough for alimony. Ugh.

Fuck - you had a lucky escape Jim. It sounds like that is exactly what she was trying to do. It’s a good job you had lots of willpower. She could have really stitched you up otherwise. I’m betting that happens a lot.

Tammy, I am glad that your brother found out. It probably cost him, but well worth the money…

Oh my goodness. What a story. This happened to my brother once. He got all the way through the pregnancy, delivery, and the numbers did not add up. He confirmed 6 months later the baby was not his. Great definition for succubus. Loved the Matthew Dryden mention! Cricket/Tammys last blog post..The world is yours to borrow...

What would William Booth do? It is time for the invention of the 21st Century Salvation Army. I know the original is going extremely well financially, but as I discovered actually working with the homeless, it has lost its meaning to current clients. Booth and his wife were evangelicals in London. They came up with the idea of dressing, and acting, as an Army, in order to attrack the young. Pretty girls with tamborines did not hurt.

Today, most of the Salvation Army Corp members remain evangelical Christians, providing services to the multitudes in our cities, muli-racial, multi-cultural and oblivious to the Christian nature of the organization.

The trick - new organizing, based in today’s realities, attractive to young adults across cultures and with leadership provided by the base.

Revolution is never easy. Most of the true organizers were never thought of as chic, were also ahead of the curve, and did not care much about what the establishment thought of them.

That would be so amazing! Still, I want to put a GPS in every delivery vehicle and just send my coordinates.

Jeff, you know I was thinking about you when I wrote this. Who else do I know who uses the word succubus without talking about South Park? The real ? is would I have had the same will power back in the US??
