That’s going to be one heck of a trial, what with her inability to recall events.

She was openly having an affair with a “health guru”, though I believe she’s been separated from her husband for a while.

Even if separated, isn’t she still bound by her marriage vows?  
🤣  
Sorry, I tried to say that with a straight face and failed.

What do so-called Christian values have to say about marital infidelity? Do they cover that?

Book of Newt, Chapter 4:

“And lo did Newt find a process server, and this server did deliver upon the wife dying of cancer a petition for divorce. And so Henry who did know another woman not his wife, and did sire a daughter by this woman not his wie, and he did name her Youthful Indiscretion, and Youthful Indiscretion be her name. So then the Lord said unto Newt and Henry; go thou, and as long as the Elephant be thy animal and thy symbol, upon thy knowings and thy sirings and thy shitty servings of the petitions, shall I smile.”

Okay, I skipped the part about the fruitbats and the breakfast cereals, but you get the point.

It’s

It does seem to be a mostly SDMB acronym.

An offshoot of IOKIYAR, which is a good bit more popular on the internet (though still obscure).
