**Inigo** will be available to the public as of Monday, August 25th.

Holding my breath. I move in to my new base of operations on June 28th (6 days after I turn 41) and then, only a couple short and sunny months later, I will be as free as I can be of my manipulative and much maligned (deservedly) bride. Yes, I served her once before, but withdrew when she begged & promised. This time, however, she is totally on board with the plan and actually helped me shop for my new digs! She’ll make a great GF for someone with unlimited patience and an iron ego.

I have already had friends do double takes when they’ve seen me this past week–I don’t normally smile and laugh this much. Well, I used to.

Holy MOther Of Gawd, I’m Back!

Doesn’t matter, read the fine print on your user agreement. You’re totally not allowed to sleep with a fellow Doper’s ex. That’s a banning.

No, I think you mean ‘thats a Banner’ as in large green Hulk-like ex.

“You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry. And darn near everything makes her angry.”
