Happy Holidays and here's to new beginnings this New Year.

Thanks, maddez!

I'm hoping to be in the same boat..................soon.

With a few fellow Du'ers. It was a great time and the best part is I'll be able to write a check to my cc and pay for it in full. . looking forward to my next adventure.

hope you had a great time on yours and you get the next one on time so you can plan another one soon.

and as I only have a debit card, its all done! Had a fine time, w cousin + her family I see all too infrequently.

You went with DUers??? WOW! I did that last spring!

Between my last post and this one, heard from the p.o.s., and told him a thing or two, including I MAY seek Contempt Citation against him if he doesn't comply in a timely fashion! NO MORE Ms. Nice Me, ENOUGH!

SO HAPPY for us! So glad we're together in our success (however belated.)
Sent the p.o.s. an e.mail yesterday, after he wrote a 'hedging' message; I was unusually hard-a**ed, and guess what? He wrote back this afternoon: "Will mail the check Monday."

I'm so happy for you, this frees you up emotionally!

Sure was long time coming! Negotiated agreement 13 months ago!!!

Looking into investing most of it, but thinking about some restaurants and travel too!

Travel will follow, I promise!

And theater! and concerts!

What a load off and what a great way to start the New Year!!

Thanks

Till I am in your position. My divorce is still dragging on. Year three to be exact. He is SUCH a prick. LOL...but that is saved for another thread...

We didn't divorce, just separated, in an agonizing fashion, cost me $$$ in attorney fees but I retain our family federal medical coverage as a supplement to medicare. And the 'end' of this story about which I wrote in '11, he passed on 1 year ago. Daughters and godchildren received a lot as beneficiaries, and at the end, maybe because I'd been helping him with some medical matters, he provided for me via survivor annuity (from his federal employment) and I also receive a soc sec survivor benefit, so tho I wasn't beneficiary of any of his investments, my finances have improved, enabling me to rent a cottage and vastly improve my surroundings, like this, every night:



And have 1 grandson, born last December, and one coming, due July 20, and living near me.

As sad as it sounds, it sounds like your life it turning around for the better....my best wishes to you...

Daughters still pretty upset about his death.

And best to you too, ex.
