I'd smack The Boy if he tried that on me, but it's safe to say he won't go there. When would he have time to set it up?<br /><br />Robin - Glad to see you back.

If only people would listen to it and stop being idiots.<br /><br />I do agree the guy who wants to leave part of his estate to his mistress is an idiot. sheesh! And wouldn't that estate be held in common with his wife, and perhaps the wife is the biggest earner and contributor to that estate? It would certainly be adding insult to injury.... unless she alreay knew about the affair and kept their finances separate and she had a few affairs of her own....<br /><br />The rest of your advice is fine too, except there are mixed feelings about surprise parties. They can be pretty fine when one's dear friends are invited instead of a bunch of acqquaintances.... <br /><br />Photos are great as usual. They are indeed a tribute to all the unfortunate victims of the tsunami and the lack of forethought (I mean real idiocy) of the people in charge of nuclear plants.... In addition, I can't understand why the people who had to go to shelters ran out of food and didn't have meds. I understand that trucks with supplies are slowly making their ways to them, but why didn't they drop the necessities by helicopters?

At least if she finds out now, she can skip the tender nursing scenario and send him off to a hospice for his final days. That way she could be having the fun early. <br /><br />But you know me. When the cawing started my response would be, "Gee, didn't his fuckpuppet take over?"<br /><br />Let's face it, the guy's a toad. <br /><br />And surprise parties....the one time someone did that for me I wanted to KILL them. She invited all of her frat-boy friends.... and then got irritated when I told her to get rid of them because I didn't know any of them. I kept the cake.Aunt Messyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424781871244170075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625154341780348225.post-77220205046790864092011-03-25T12:31:47.612-05:002011-03-25T12:31:47.612-05:00"You also know that your wife will divorce yo..."You also know that your wife will divorce you if she finds out, taking half of the marital property - "<br /><br />I don't see this happening, Dollface. Why would she leave with just half the marital property and the complete destruction of her well-ordered life, and have to put up with the town snotrags cawing "she left her husband when he was dying of cancer" when she can stay with him and go all Whatever Happened to Baby Jane on his ass and then walk off with all the goodies for herself in a few months? :D<br /><br />Okay, call me weird but I've always wanted a surprise party! Are you kidding me? I would be thrilled and flattered if all my peeps came together like that! I think it would be fun to get taken out to dinner and then come home and have people pop out from behind the furniture when you turn on the light. Although, being dressed to the nines and braced for it hopefully as I am every year, it would hardly be a surprise at this point, now would it? ;)Mermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583754215885030959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625154341780348225.post-68813495262859963112011-03-24T16:14:34.427-05:002011-03-24T16:14:34.427-05:00Thanks guys!

I'm a bad example, though.

I agree surprise parti...Great answers all around! <br /><br />I agree surprise parties are rarely worth the trouble. Usually they are given because the honoree has already said they don't WANT a party. Or they find out ahead of time (when Aunt Gladys calls them for directions) and they have to pretend to be surprised, when they'd rather be somewhere - anywhere - else.<br /><br />Rarely, they work out. My family had a surprise party for my mother, because she'd have told us "not to make a fuss" if we'd told her (even though she's always setting up parties for everyone else.) The biggest surprise to her was that our family could actually *cooperate* on that big a scale.CoolOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220187158350943016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625154341780348225.post-36199199416705383612011-03-24T14:44:14.140-05:002011-03-24T14:44:14.140-05:00Ahhhh... bliss!
