Danny Bonaduce is my hero!

Has anyone read the article or seen the clip of Danny Bonaduce dropping that irritating Johnny Fairplay of dubious Survivor fame on his face? I love it!! That little man disturbs me.

This is proof that there is karmic retribution. Anyone who would lie about the death of their own grandmother to win a challenge needs his teeth knocked out.

Brothers and Sisters and The Problem Woman

Does anyone watch Brothers and Sisters? I love the show, even though it completely pisses me off.

For those of you who don’t watch, it’s a show about a family — Sally Field plays the mother, and her kids consist of Calista Flockheart, Rachel Griffiths, and a few guys whose names escape me. The very first episode, the patriarch, Sally Field’s husband, dropped dead. After his death, it was revealed that he had a mistress for 20+ years (played by Patricia Wettig), and eventually we found out that he had a daughter by her - this daughter is probably about 20 or so.

As if this entire situation weren’t bad enough, the mistress insisted on taking a place in the family business — she found some legal loophole that forced the family to accept her. The episode that I just watched on TiVo from the other night involved a birthday party for Calista Flockheart’s character where the mistress and her child were present along with the rest of the family.

I find it interesting that this mistress has such an extreme sense of entitlement — as though she deserves to be in the family business, and to be included in family function. And if I were Sally Field’s character, I simply don’t think I could be that mature. I don’t think I could have that woman in my home, feeding her, being nice to her. Nor could I house the child that’s the product of my late husband’s extramarital affair.

Perhaps this is a character flaw on my part, but I really can’t see myself befriending the woman who maintained a relationship with my husband, knowing that he was married.

But, there are a lot of women like that . . . problem women, I call them. The problem woman is the woman who knows that a man is married or otherwise involved, and she simply doesn’t give a shit. She feels that if the man in question was so happy in his relationship, he wouldn’t be messing around with her. This woman doesn’t really understand that she’s part of the problem, nor does she care about her karma or relationship with the Universe. She doesn’t quite get that she’s a large part of the problem on a grand scale — if it weren’t for women like her, men wouldn’t have anyone to cheat with, which would solve a lot of our biggest relationship issues.

Most, if not all of my exes have found weird ways to cheat. Granted, I’m pretty sure that most of the women they’re cheating with haven’t known that I existed — because some of my exes have been skilled liars. But I believe that a good percentage of them have been fully aware that they were messing around with men who were someone ‘taken.’ A lot of them don’t ask the right questions.

It’s simple, people. If you meet someone that you’re interested in, before you take it to the next level (or any level, if you choose), ask two primary questions:
1. Do you have a girl/boyfriend?
2. Is there anyone who THINKS they’re your girl/boyfriend?

Those are two VERY different questions. And ones that need to be asked. I have a few friends who refuse to ask those questions, because they assume that if their new interests were attached, they wouldn’t be flirting with other people. That is the very wrong assumption. And, more importantly, that attitude indicates the embryonic stages of becoming a Problem Woman.

And people wonder why I’m single . . .
