maybe your humor is the reason you have ....2 ex-husbands
I say, Nah, this isn't why pamelaBeurman has two ex-husbands, it explains how in-the-very-devil she could have married two men to begin with!
My maternal grandmother was widowed at 50, and my cousins and I felt so sorry for her, thinking she was just too young to be by herself. We were forever trying to fix her up with some widower we all knew. We'd tease and cajole her with plans for a BIG wedding and fancy reception -- "there's Mr. So-and-So, Grandma. He's kind'a cute." She'd just shake her head no, and occasionally add, "No, thank you, Girls."
After a few years of this, following Granddaddy's death, she looked at us, just as seriously as if someone in the family had taken to their deathbed, and said, "Girls, I been married, had four children o'my own, got 'em growed, married, out o' the house. What in the devil do I want now with some man hangin' around my coattails?"
I don't have a cell phone with a keyboard because I cannot see the letters without magnifying glasses which half the time I cannot find anyway.

When I leave my son's house on a cold and snowy evening when the roads are icy, after a family get-together or something, I call when I get back home to let them know I got back home OK. Otherwise, they know to come looking for me.
Me, too

LOL
These are so funny and true for me. I am now 61 and always thought of myself as pretty with-it techwise; but I'm so far behind, I couldn't get caught up with a whole college degree. My cell phone I call the car phone - that's where it stays. I'll give anyone the number because I don't answer it and haven't figured out how to retrieve messages, so call the car all you want - it's nicer on the phone than I am.
I'm late deafened and can function with my hearing aids, but a phone conversation is painful for everyone. I keep saying to say it again, repeat that, spell it, oh heck, just send me an e-mail; and the other person is simply trying to say it's a wrong number! If you love me, you don't call me. So why do I have a phone? For me to call 911 or AAA or home when I have a problem. I call, watch the time, then assume it's connected and start talking. When I see the other person has hung up, I hope the message was received and hang up, too.
I have to take off my glasses to dial a number, take out one hearing aid to hear and then put the phone on speaker and hopefully not hit the mute at the same time. I've had strangers overhear my conversation and when I start saying I can't hear, they "translate" for me. It's a joke.
As for the computer -I am so dependent upon it - have it set to large type, no speakers, and my mailbox is seldom below 100 messages. It is even how my husband and I communicate when I'm having a rough day. We sit at our own computers and send IMs or e-mail.
I facebook to keep in touch with family but twitter sounds like birds and there's enough bird pooh on my car, no thanks. Now if I could just get my doctors to let me make appts by e-mail and to give me my reports, I'd be thrilled. Why are they so behind the times?!

Now that I am her age, I understand completely.
apples to oranges
She stated they are her ex's and they are still alive

Now be nice! I have 2 ex-husbands because a lot of men are threatened by strong women and I just happened to marry 2 in a row. Thank God I saw the error of my ways. I have been married to a wonderful man for 15yrs who not only appreciates my strength but encourages me to extend my limits. Besides, I consider myself fortunate. Some women never receive one marriage proposal, i've had 7.

My first husband was the baby of three -- ten years younger than the other two. I am the eldest of three girls. Anyone see a problem with this picture?
We hadn't been married a month when he told me, over an argument about something related to the household, that there could only be one head of the household, which I logically relied, "Oh, and you have decided it will be you?" Looking back, I have NO earthly idea what he thought he wanted with me.
I have decided that the institution of marriage is just that, but with the right person -- oh, my! -- it's such a pleasure!
