Old Boyfriends and Other Pathetic Things
Today I found out that I'm going to be interviewed for Israeli radio on Sunday night. (Monday morning, Israel time). What's the first thing I think of? That my book will now have a better chance of selling in its Israeli translation? That my parents' friends will hear me on the radio and be excited? That my brother will hear me on the radio and have some sense of what I do? No, No, and No. What I'm all in a lather about is that my OLD BOYFRIEND, with whom I broke up in 1991, will hear me. My old boyfriend. Who I broke up with. Me, not him. Let me repeat that: I BROKE UP WITH HIM. (Of course he then immediately got another girlfriend, sending me into a hysterical tailspin of jealousy, but that's beside the point.) Actually, maybe that is the point. Here I am, fourteen years later, and I'm all smug because he's going to hear me on the radio and I'm going to be all that and he's going to .... Whatever. Nothing. He's going to do nothing, because he probably works in a dairy barn on his kibbutz and will be out shoeing cattle, or whatever it is they do, and will not hear me at all.
The thing is, I'm in a terrific marriage. I adore my husband; he's the sexiest thing I've ever met, and the most brilliant. The last thing in the world I care about is this old boyfriend. So what's with the bizarre gloating? Who cares, really? The old boyfriend has moved on. He's probably forgotten my name and the six years we spent together. Six years in which we had dozens of arguments every day, with me doing both sides, because he was uncommunicative to the point of catatonic. Six years which ended fourteen years ago. I wish I could just grow up.

It's so nice to hear someone else say this! Mine was only ten years ago, but I too am in a wonderful marriage and as far as I know so is he. Still, if I were to have a fabulously successful book published and released in the States, I would be thinking exactly the same thing. What is with that?
Actually I'm still semi in touch with him by email, so I have no need to do most of those things. Okay, I may have asked a mutual friend or two how he's doing and secretly rejoiced when they said his girlfriend (now wife) was kind of boring... But that was a while ago now, I swear.
Hang on, wasn't I replying to another comment then? I was, I swear I was!
When are you going to write about your other old boyfriends? I can't wait to read what you'd write about me! Glad to see you've become so successful.

i only post flattering pics of myself on my blog because i'm afraid an exboyfriend will find it one day (and i blog anonymously, therefore it would be very difficult for any ex-boyfriend to even KNOW it is me).

Saw your blog about canada pal pay - as it is along the same lines I thought I would share this link with you. We were paying far too much for family things like clothes for us and the kids, games consoles inc the new Wii and soon to be PS3, car insurance/home insurance/pet insurance, broadband, mobile phones, landline calls, home and garden items, camping equipment and utilities/loans etc - you name it, we were spending too much on it.
Then a friend of mine recommended a site called www.bargainplace.co.uk. We were able to get cheaper electricity, gas, mobile phone, broadband and loan deals at bargainplace. Thanks to my friend (and the site) I am saving something like £100 a month and can afford an extra holiday abroard each year. Booked of course on www.bargainplace.co.uk. Thanks bargainplace ;-) !!

Good blog - very interesting!! I liked it so much I'm going to share this hush hush advice with you. Ever wondered how your neighbours are driving around in their brand new BMW or Mercedes cars - with their kids dressed in all the latest named gear and foreign holidays aplenty?? Well they discovered the secret to the extra online income.
If you are looking for a free tool to attract loads of free links to your blog or website then congratulations I've got the solution for you - and it is FREE!!
My website specialises in autism poem and to drive traffic to my website I was searching around the internet for absolutely ages looking for SEO tools and ffa submission sites to fire my site up the Google search engine - unfortunately these doing work and in fact had the opposite affect plunging my site down the rankings like it had a heavy weight attached!!, then I signed up for this free superb traffic generating tool - I now have loads of hits to my websites/blogs and my site is shooting back up the Google rankings quicker than ever before.
Consequently this saw my affiliate commissions shoot through the roof - meaning lots of extra money coming in for my family - I bought my first Mercedes car on the proceeds of my online campaign.
Sign up now - it's free.. Sorry if this information is of no use to you but seeing as you have the anonymous feature enabled I thought I should share this free bit of essential promotional advice with you and would hope you would do the same for me and others who want to boost their online internet income.
I hope the tool will serve you equally as well as it has me - it's free!!
Best of luck, cheers for now, dave.

Hi matey and blog buddies, enjoyed the blog most interesting. Not sure how well you are doing in driving more traffic to your blog but If you are interested in promoting your site and getting more visitors (aren't we all??) I would definitely recommend the free Link Referral Program.
I have a website featuring bmw of austin amongst other stuff and after trying every seo software/program on the net I got tipped off by an IT techi mate that the Link Referral Program was the best - more importantly it's free!!
The signup process was quick and before long my hits increased dramatically. Consequently my affiliate sales commissions and business sales went through the roof PLUS my website increased in google ranking which was an added bonus!!
If you didn't need this advice then I am sorry but you did have anonymous posting enabled on your blog. If anyone else has any good ideas for driving more traffic to blogs/websites then please share with your online business blog buddies. Ta ;-)

Blog about oregon bank foreclosure
Hi
Enjoyed the blog - nice to see someone else has activated their anonymous feature ;-)
I'm interested in investing in the real estate market in the US and am looking for some really cheap repossession properties in Miami, Florida, California, New York, Washington, Dallas, Texas, Chicago and Los Angeles. I've found a couple of really good sites - Bargain network which has some really cheap homes and Texas Ranches for sale - ranches in Texas plus both sites have beachfront villas and cars that have been repossessed and are really cheap!! Just wondering if there are any more sites like this.
Thanks for this.
John
