BTW... the D no longer stands for "dear" when I use it to refer to XDH....

Dumb? Dastardly? Dysfunctional? Dipstick (or sh#t if you prefer), Nick name for Richard even? I mean there are a plethora of "D" words that might apply

ETA; Grats on the show results for the goats and happy that happiness is creeping back into your existence. Life is too short to be miserable.

LOL! All of the above!

But the one thing to remember from your marriage is that you got some great kids out of the deal. That is always a plus. I admire your attitude and when I was going through some very rough patches people would ask me why I was still happy and I would tell them "because I choose to be". Life won't suddenly get better just because you are miserable so why go there? My grandmother used to tell me that I have the same clothes to get glad in as I do to get sad in.

Interesting about the name. I'll have to ask DH if his father ever claimed any Spanish blood, I know that his mother did. I know that his father's family was a long time Texan clan, my DH was born in Texas; they cam to CA when he was 8 (and he'll never go back).

Most of XDH s family are out of the New Mexico area I believe (same difference right?), but if I remember correctly she said they landed in Mexico or somewhere around there... been a long time to try and remember all she told me... XDH adamantly denies Spanish blood... despite his name implying it directly.

I did my best giving all I had, raising my kids and while the jury will be out for awhile on them, so far they are all reasonably productive members of society, kind and compassionate humans, and they love each other!!! And the fact that they like to come home to see me and get a little bit of home cooking is just icing on the cake!

I guess you can go with just xH, we will understand

I say go with the makeup if you feel like it, stop if you decide it isn't doing anything for you psychologically. PERSONAL opinion, less is more. You really don't want to be Tammy Faye or even tilt that direction. My mother wore makeup, my younger sister does. Older sister ... nope. Not too surprisingly the 2 nieces from my younger sister are serious into makeup, niece from older sister is ... meh. My mother-in-law doesn't wear it, wife doesn't wear it, daughters don't either.

Since your gifted goats did so well, you can use that to help sell future goats for decent money, right??

Texas was an immigration port for some Spaniards. My paternal grandfather came through Brownsville with a stop in Cuba first (This was around 1910). Paternal grandmother came through Ellis Island around the same time, maternal grandmother through Guadalajara, Mexico around 1900. They all settled in the Los Angeles area.

I will probably do the makeup for a bit... til I get bored with it. Unless I find someone that prefers it.

In my dating profile I added that I don't usually wear makeup, my socks don't match and my hair is totally out of control despite trying to tame it for work..... trying to keep expectations real around here!!!

Very cool bit of info. Thanks for sharing.

I appreciate the understanding... would y'all still understand if I instead wanted to use XDDDH?

Cause sometimes I feel that way!

xDaDsH, works for me.
