Oh no no no. Of all people in the world, not HER.

You’d think the rest of us don’t have lives :D:D:D

Frankly, I think that is the ideal situation. You told her, she was relatively cool with it, you get to catch up with your old friend/flame and have a pleasant conversation (and some closure for you), and go back to your happy life. That’s what I would have suggested in the first place.

Beautifully done, Mr Bus Guy.
I hope you and your wife both appreciate what a good catch you have.

I KNEW you wouldn’t let me down, BusGuy --you’re true blue and will never fade.

I am dying to be a bug on the wall for this cuppa!

Whatd’ya bet she’s really nice and just wants to say hi?
If she arrives in a low cut blouse and her thong is hanging outta her jeans and she has a tattoo on her forehead that says “do me”–well, then I’d worry.

And Yeah! for the Mrs–you guys are a class act.

Jeepers-I need a life! :slight_smile:

Doing the happy dance for Mr. BusGuy.

Best of luck to you, Mr. Bus Guy. Here’s hoping that your wife being aware of the situation will serve as an added layer of protection for you (no pun intended), whatever Susan’s intentions are.

I’ll take a piece of that!
200 Qualtoos on “desparate, horny bitch”

I wouldn’t bet either of you: she’s probably both and she’s meeting Bus Guy to see which way the cards will fall. If he gives her any room to move in, she will; and if she doesn’t see an opening, she’ll tactfully withdraw.

Forget about Susan. Some Friday, get a babysitter, take the wife out to a nice dinner, maybe a passionate night in a hotel afterwards. Saturday, you and wife do something fun with the kid. Think, often, during these two days how much you love your family. Then think of what it would be like to lose them.

Forget Susan.

Y’ know… on this board, I know such comments pass with the vast majority of people sagely nodding their heads…

But I’d like to point out that I am married to a raging Republican. And I like it. A lot.

Bricker, I thought *she * was married to a raging Republicn?

Or was that just raging? :wink:

You done good, Bus Guy, and by the way, your wife is amazing. But you already knew that, didn’t you? Good job. :slight_smile:

Phew-I thought you were calling me on the “gaining 100 pounds” comment.
I’m glad being married to a raging Republican works well for you-my guy is a flaming liberal however and it would be like mixing oil and water :smiley: .
It was a strictly personal observation and not meant as disparaging of all Republicans.
And I guess this means that neither of us have to worry if Mrs. Bricker meets Mr. jlza for lunch as they’ll soon be arguing about the state of everything.

Oh! That Susan! The one with the twins and the late husband. Good luck!

Quite a coincidence that Susan just happened to get Bus Guy on the phone IMHO. I wouldn’t rule out a little research on her part. Does Bus Guy’s phone have a private number? Or do calls go through a switchboard? It just seems far fetched, to me.

No matter what the current Mrs. Bus Guy says, I wouldn’t get near Ms Susan unless my marriage was totally and completely done and dead. Avoid the very appearance of evil, or some such.

You know, I’m of the mind that Susan’s intentions aren’t all that relevant.
What’s important is , Mr. Bus Guy’s and if he’s approaching this from a mildy curious but happily and securely married frame of mind, I think he’ll be just fine.
Life’s filled with temptations-it’s how you handle them that counts.

Well she called the Transportation main number. After it rings 4 times, it rings at my desk, so I just grabbed it. We get a dozen or so similar calls each week, someone just moved in and wants to know where/when their kids catch the bus.

Had she been interested in doing research, a Google on my name leads you to a half dozen articles in local newspapers quoting me on school issues in the district. Our district’s web site has a Staff Directory page that gives both my e-mail address and my direct line.

Good for Mr & Mrs Bus Guy! I think you both handled this well. Gold stars!

Exactly.

I may have written it poorly, but what I was trying to convey in my statement actually agrees completely with what you’ve said. My point was that, now that he’s shared the situation with his wife, it should help to bolster him being in an appropriate frame of mind approaching the situation, whether or not Susan is interested in anything beyond friendship.
