I am re-marrying the woman I first fell in love with in 1970. Her name is Dondra, and she is Guinevere to me being “Arthur” (or _trying_ to be!) I am trying to talk her into us marrying as those 2, can y’all help me out with that, please? 😉 Also, isn’t she just wonderful to marry someone who’s dying??? D is the complete opposite of me! MY head stays in the clouds and her FEET are firmly grounded! AND… she has continued to love me ever since we divorced! God! I don’t know whether to shit or go blind, I’'m so happy!😃 Bill ---

Happy for you, Quasi ! And, ya know, she’s not marrying “someone who’s dying”, anymore than we are all dying, as things go here. Sounds like she knows you, and loves you. Good for y’all! ---

Congrats Quasi!!! So is she a first wife, divorced, then back together situation?? Were you married in between? (Sorry for the personal questions, if you don’t want me prying you aren’t obligated to answer by any means) ---

Congratulations, **Quasimodem**!! All the best! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Ummmm . . . just one thing, and I hope it doesn’t ruin your natural high: > [@](#): > > she is Guinevere to me being “Arthur” (or _trying_ to be!) Just so you know, this isn’t necessarily a good thing. Then again, I don’t think you meant it quite _that_ literally! So once again, _CONGRATS!!_ ---

Married? You have my deepest sympathy, Quasi. (Hey, somebody had to say it! :D) ---

Dondra is the first wife I have ever had, Kiddos! And **Alastair**? I’m gonna _gitchu_! Just kidding! She’s a lovely woman, 60 years old (I’m 59), and what can I say? Am I supposed to say “no”? She’s my “Once and Future Wife”, what would YOU do, Kids? Yes, it HAS occurred to me, to jump the nearest freight train and get lost, but this precious lady and I have a history, a son, and 2 grandkids. Plus we love each other and always have. I did not divorce her because I did not love her anymore! There are MANY reasons for divorcing your spouse! Can you think of one? Also, she’s the only one who has stepped forward to care about me, so she now has full charge of my life, including Power of Attorney. I don’t think you little heathens have grasped how BAD this Alsheimer’s is, have you??? I haven’t had a shower today!!! And I PRIZE my cleanliness! I just can’t remember, Honeys!!! Bill ---
