Ex-Wife Auctions Man's $200,000 Baseball Collection
From the News Section of: http://www.voyeurweb.com/main/Main.html

TUSCON, Arizona -- A woman whose husband spent $200,000
on baseball memorabilia took revenge - by divorcing him and selling
it on eBay.

The husband, 42, told his wife, 45, they couldn't
afford kids or a house, and even took money from
her bank account to add (baseball items) to his collection.

The divorce judge ruled she can have the rare baseball
cards and caps, and she is auctioning them online,
according to news media reports.

The couple had been married for 17 years.
When asked about the auction, the wife
said: "I'm giggling."

-- Holy Strike Out, Voyeurwebbers! It sounds like this guy got
caught looking at an inside fastball and never even swung at
it, hehehe! Meanwhile, his wife managed to knock one out
of the ball park. It wasn't just a grand slam, either, it was a
200-grand slam, hehehe! There's also an important lesson
in this story, Voyeurwebbers: ***If you're hobby becomes
your life ... it's definitely time to get a new hobby***. -- Igor

Indeed -- your wife or your rig (baseball cards)
Long Pause
Well

Yeah, I'm single and that's one of the many reasons why. Marriage is for
suckers IMHO. It used to mean somethng many, many years ago but womens
mind set have changed to much it isn't worth it now. I've seen FAR too
many marriages go down the toilet for my money.

A guy walks into a bar, sits down. Tells the batrender "A round of
drinks on me!"

After getting hs drink, the fellow next to him asks "What's the
occasion Pal?"

"I'm getting married tomorrow! Now I'll be able to get laid any time I
want!!"

The other fellow says "Funny, but that was the reason I got divorced!"

My wife never had to work for my hobby. Before we married we
discussed it. I had been a ham for years before we met. I told her
that I was an Amateur Radio Operator for years before we met and I
would be one long after she's gone. If she couldn't accept that, she
would have to move on. Likewise, I never tried to discourage or
change things about my wife. Those things a person likes and
dislikes, or their hobbies, etc, are part of what makes them the
persons they are. I believe that if we take those things from a
person, there will be a hole in their life and they will no longer be
the person we met and fell in love with. Of course, it is different
if that person changes hobbies, etc. on their own, but it is not good
to take it from them.

To include in their budget, support for each other's hobbies is not a
bad thing, but to break their budget over any one hobby is not a good
thing. My wife never went hungry because I bought a radio.

I'm glad I'm one of the many exceptions to your rule... With your broad-
brush view-point, I would recommend that you avoid marriage entirely
because you're already stacking the deck against yourself.

You are certainly an exception and up to about 20 years ago marriages
usually worked. But you folks know as well as I do how many **** the bed
in the past 20 years. You all know PLENTY of them.

I hope it lasts 20 more.

Thanks. I understand your attitude. Don't give up though. It really is cool
when you find the right one. If you do get lucky, make sure you /she or
somebody can cook. The first thing to f--k up a home is bad food!!

Subject: FW: MRE Dinner Date
Importance: Low


This was from a grunt whose date unwittingly asked him to cook for her.
Anyone who has had to eat MREs--or for we graybeards, C-Rats--for months
during deployments will appreciate this.


-------------------------------------------------------
by Frank Rodgers
I had a date the other night at my place. On the phone the day before,
the

girl asked me to "Cook her something she's never had before" for
dinner.
After many minutes of scratching my head over what to make, I finally
settled on something she has DEFINITELY never eaten.
I got out my trusty case of MRE's. Meal, Ready-to-Eat. Field rations
that when eaten in their entirety contain 3000+ calories. Here's what
I
made:
I took three of the Ham Slices out of their plastic packets, took out
three of the Pork Chops, three packets of Chicken-a-la-King, and eight
packets of dehydrated butter noodles and some dehydrated/rehydrated
rice. I cooked the Ham Slices and Pork Chops in one pan, sauteed in
shaved garlic and olive oil.
In another pot, I blended the Chicken a-la-king, noodles, and rice
together to make a sort of mush that looked suspiciously like
succotash. I added some spices, and blended everything together in a
glass pan that I then cooked in the oven for about 35 minutes at 450
degrees.
When I took it out, it looked like, well, ham slices, pork chops, and
a bed of yellow poop. I covered the tops of the meat in the MRE cheese
(kinda like
velveeta) and added some green sprinkly thingys from one of my spice
cans (hey, if it's got green sprinkly thingys on it, it looks fancy
right?) For dessert, I took four MRE Pound Cakes, mashed 'em up, added
five packets of cocoa powder, powdered coffee cream, and some water. I
heated it up and

stirred it until it looked like a sort of chunky gelatinous organism,
and I sprinkled powdered sugar on top of it.
Voila--Ranger Pudding.
For alcoholic drinks, I took the rest of my bottle of Military Special
Vodka (yes, they DO make a type of liquor named "Military Special"--it
sells for

$4.35 per fifth) and mixed in four packets of "Electrolytes - 1 each -
Cherry flavored" (I swear, the packet says that). It looked like an
eerie kool-aid with sparkles in it (that was the electrolytes I guess...
could've
been leftover sand from Egypt).
I lit two candles, put a vase of wildflowers in the middle, and set
the table with my best set of Ralph Lauren Academy-series China (that
**** is flippin EXPENSIVE... my set of 8 place settings cost me over
$600), and put the alcoholic drink in a crystal wine decanter.
She came over, and I had some appetizers already made, of MRE
spaghetti-with-meatballs, set in small cups. She saw the dinner, saw
the food, and said "This looks INCREDIBLE!!!"
We dug in, and she was loving the food. Throughout the meal, she kept
asking me how long it took me to make it, and kept remarking that I
obviously knew a thing or two about cooking fine meals. She kind of
balked at the makeshift "wine" I had set out, but after she tried it I
guess she liked it because she drank four glasses during dinner.
At the end of the main course, when I served the dessert, she squealed
with delight at the "Chocolate mousse" I had made. Huh? Chocolate
what? Okay...

yeah... it's Chocolate Moose. Took me HOURS to make... yup.
Later on, as we were watching a movie, she excused herself to use my
restroom. While she was in there, I heard her say softly to herself
"uh oh"
and a resounding but petite fart punctuated her utterance of dismay.
Let the games begin.
She sprayed about half a can of air freshener (Air Freshener, 1 each,
Orange scent. Yup. The Army even makes smellgood) and returned to the
couch, this

time with an obvious pained look.
After 10 more minutes she excused herself again, and retreated to the
bathroom for the second time. I could hear her say "What the hell is
WRONG

with me???," as she again send flatulent shockwaves into the porcelain
bowl.
This time, they sounded kinda wet, and I heard the toilet paper roll
being

employed, and again, LOTS more air freshener.
Back to the couch. She smiles meekly as she decides to sit on the
chair instead of next to me. She sits on my chair, knees pulled up to
her chest,

kind of rocking back and forth slightly. Suddenly, without a word, she
ROCKETED up and FLEW to the bathroom, slammed the door, and didn't
come out for 30 minutes.
I turned the movie up because I didn't want her to hear me laughing so
hard that tears were streaming down my cheeks.
She came out with a slightly gray palor to her face, and said "I am
SOOOOOO sorry. I have NO idea what is wrong with me. I am so
embarrassed, I can't believe I keep running to your bathroom!!" I gave
her an Immodium AD, and she finally settled down and relaxed.
Later on, she asked me again what I had made for dinner, because she
had enjoyed it so much. I calmly took her into the kitchen and showed
her all the used MRE bags and packets in the trash can.
After explaining to her that she had eaten roughly 9,000 calories of
"Army

food" she turned stark white, looked at me incredulously, and said "I
ate 9,000 calories or dehydrated food that was made 3 years ago?"
After I concurred, she grabbed her coat and keys, and took off without
a
word.
She called me yesterday. Seems she couldn't **** for 3 days, and when
she finally did, the smell was so bad, her roommate could smell it
from down the hall. She also told me she had been working out nonstop
to combat the high

caloric intake, and that she never wanted me to cook dinner for her
again,

unless she was PERSONALLY there to inspect the food beforehand.
It was a fun date. She laughed about it eventually, and said that that
was

the first time she'd ever crapped in a guy's house on a date. She'd
been so upset by it she was in tears in the bathroom while I had been
in tears on the couch.
I know, I'm an asshole, but it was still a funny night.

You found out the secret!

How the hell else are you going to last a long time with someone if they
are not your friend. Besides being friends the only other thing required
is that you both share the expectations of the marriage like kids, money
and who does what.
