I am depressed. Again. I am amazed at how a relatively small thing can send me over the edge. Talking to my wife seems to do it rather effectively.
I had to phone her the other day to sort out a few details and find out why there’s been no response from her attorney regarding the settlement. It turns out that even though she was happy with the revised offer, her lawyer advised her not to accept it. Apparently he’s “troubled” by it. Yeah right. Troubled that he doesn’t seem to be earning enough from our divorce to pay the instalments on his shiny new BMW.
Doesn’t he have an ambulance to chase or something?
the other side of the mountain 
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his …. hairy armpits!
Hang in there and remember “Kyknoord en …”

Then he could try and chase his own ambulance, that should keep him busy.

It is not unheard of to find ticks on snakes… Snakes are reptiles, ticks are just as annoying as fleas…
Couldn’t we ask some camel fleas nicely if they would relocate to his private bits? It would have to be fleas with low standards though.

Aaah… yes. Lawy… I mean LIARS (surely it’s no coincidence that those two little words sound sooo much alike?).
I don’t know if it will make you feel ANY better to hear someone else’s why-I-hate-those-scum-suckers-who-pretend-to-care story, but remember why I had to recently “divorce” the U.S.? Because my Immigration Liar took $5,000 (plus who knows how much… because I stopped counting at 5 grand) to handle my Green Card case and five years later I found out that she had taken all my cash WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING FOR ME.

Its such a hard time for you and I hate when lawyers don’t do whats best for their clients, they have their own not so hidden agendas. One of my favourite stories was when my in-laws were getting divorced, my father-in-law fired my mother-in-laws attorney as he was shortchanging her, (my f-i-l) ended up giving her a better deal then the lawyer was going to. he just no longer wanted to be married to her and did noit want to beat her down. Wish more lawyers would step aside and let their clients settle it amicably.
