He's simultaneously like a mollusk and a scaly anteater, but we see what he means.
I have actually discreetly exited several events when spying her across the room. If I know in advance that she will be attending something, I tend to avoid it altogether. It’s stupid, ridiculous, teenage behaviour — I am 61! Divorced for almost 13 years!... I can’t deal with the unnerving strangeness of not knowing someone I once knew so well.... A festering, debilitating, emotionally ruinous sense of shame remains, blighting progress and preventing sleep....
I sent a link to this article to my son Chris, and he texted: "At first I thought it was gonna be about them having to pretend their son is a great painter."

"Rocco Ritchie’s art is a clumsy pastiche of Francis Bacon"
pastiche - I need to use that word more. Reminds me of pistachio. which reminds be of Dubai style chocolates.
which reminds me of chocolate. damn.
Peachy, don’t forget the bacon, too.
Like a sturgeon…
Bacon. You know - not a big fan. strangely.
After 37 years my ex still refuses to talk to me unless she absolutely forced to do so. A bitter woman and she’s the one who left. So childish. At the time, my pastor told me to be cordial. I have followed that advice.
I love pangolins. I so wanted to see one in the wild. I visited the preserve where there was a pangolin studies camp but didn’t rearrange my schedule to do the overnighter to visit them. One of life’s big regrets…
You would think after seventeen years it would be fairly old hat.
I’m also a big fan of the Irish exit…
..."At first I thought it was gonna be about them having to pretend their son is a great painter." ...
How could it possibly be about their son, when it's All About Them?
Ex-actly.
Follow the link, son has that unhappy Nick Reiner look...
Eggs-ellent advice.
Beware the unPlanned "burden" entertaining abortive ideation.
What happened to “Get over it?”
We were a family for 18 years. I see her every couple years at events involving kids or grandkids. Stay under the same roof for a few days - enjoy catching-up. We might even be “friends” on Facebook? We let each other down in big ways (she DID hit me first!). We always kinda liked each other but it wasn’t enough. Life without forgiveness isn’t much of a life.
Bitch did take me for over a $million, though.
I like his film the least said of madonnas eldritch shape
Its the London Times exoect them to get it wrong
Pangolins in China were slaughtered for the big lie.
Now I can’t hear the word “pangolin” without thinking of Jon Stewart. https://youtu.be/sSfejgwbDQ8?si=_bYtPaZ6yYgRm2DO
Man from uncle ministry and operation fortune are my top three
Auditions for the bond milieu
"That's funny," Madonna said when told of Richie's comments. "I hardly think about him at all."
Thats how we feel about madonna
He was caught off-guard. He thought he was being introduced to an unfortunate elderly plastic-surgery victim that looked vaguely frog-like, when it turns out that it is his ex.
Time goes by.
I am Laslo.
Mistakes were made
If a pangolin won’t start, do not connect it to your vehicle’s battery or electrical system.
Try a kick start. If it remains unresponsive, just leave it. It has probably joined the choir invisible and will never start, no matter what.
The Norwegian Blue pangolin is known to play dead.
Laslo,

Depends on the voltage
It might go voom
Madonna looks like the attention is all about her, but in fairness that's true.
Jump-Started Pangolins were a great band. I saw them at the Cantab Lounge. CC, JSM
“ Depends on the voltage”
But what’s the frequency, Kenneth?
The Pangolin, a Marianne Moore poem, delights.
My 12-Step, spiritually-based program taught me how to forgive. I have forgiven all three of my ex's. With the exception of my surviving daughter's mother, I refuse to have anything to do with them.
Mercifully, my first wife and I are on different coasts, so we never run the risk of attending the same event.
