My favorite boat name of all time means absolutely nothing--in fact, is
likely to be totally miscontrued--to anyone who doesn't know the story behind it: George wanted a boat...for years he begged his wife Ruth to let him buy one, but Ruth wanted nothing to do with boats at all. Finally, though, she relented...he could have his boat, but only on one condition: that she would never have to set foot on it or even go near it. George agreed, and bought his boat...which he named "Ruthless." Hemi, demi, semi related. When growing up, I was a huge fan of the Swallows and Amazon stories by Arthur Ransome. One of the characters is Nancy Blackett - she and her sister are the Amazon pirates. Thing is, Nancy isn't her real name. It's Ruth. But she isn't called Ruth, because, obviously, pirates are ruthless. |

Moral: don't paint the name on the boat until AFTER the divorce and settlement are final.  Ho-ho, STARBOARD!! "Final" is an illusion - such things get people dragged back into court anytime by inspiring creative attacks even years later; the list of "possiblities" is endless, and their outcomes unpredictable. It is always better to avoid any appearance of spitefulness or "nyah-nyah's". In fact, the best strategy is to invite them for a sail once or twice - they will usually refuse, and one has bought goodwill. Should they accept, one need only provide an inoperative head, bad snacks, stiff vintage kapok lifejackets, John Cage on the stereo and an empty booze locker. :-) |

That's right. 'Final' means you can go try again with another one if you
have the stomach for it. But the divorce is only 'final' if all parties involved keep it that way ...ex's tend to haunt and cause troubles ...(I'll leave it at that ...) Brian PS: Fortunately for some though, they learn along the way and round 2 is the real blessing the first should have been had you been more 'experienced' the first time. Life goes on.

I apologize in advance to this NG for adding to this thread, knowing it is not the accepted style (nor charter) to continue with serious matters not directly related to boatbuilding here. It is not my hope to annoy, but I've never tried to win popularity contests, either: PS: Fortunately for some though, they learn along the way and round 2 is the real blessing the first should have been had you been more 'experienced' the first time. Life goes on. Build boats. A sad statement, friend. This does not sound like learning. Marriage is not about being experienced. Marriage, even decent boatbuilding, is about committment. For thousands of years, people married in their teens, often with no choice of with whom, and knew little about life & almost nothing about each other until the wedding. But they knew what committment was, and their strong marriages spawned whole tribes, societies and nations. The "experienced" want to remarry someone they love. The faithful do the opposite: love the one you marry. "Round 2"? With a still-living spouse, this is adultery - no matter what piece of paper two may have or what some religious official says it is. Only death ends a valid marriage. Marriage is not a contractual relationship. It is a creation ordinance that predates all faiths and applies to all people, no matter what they believe. Deep down, everyone knows this. Please think beyond the grave, the next good time, and the next case of resin. |
