oh boy, sounds like a good story coming

ok, here ya go...I've been divorced for 25 years, we have a daughter who is an accomplished Phi Beta Kappa level graduate etc...

she has asked him for very little over the years...

and trust me, he has given little

he was at his cabin up north on the 4th of July, she called and asked if she could watch the fireworks in Minneapolis from the balcony

of his loft overlooking the river and he said NO.

thanks, I feel better.

was it just her that wanted to go?

her and her serious BF...very nice guy

not like it was going to be them and twenty of their friends...

she's starting law school in August...she's 25 yrs old...I mean, really!

thanks for listening...it helps. I can't really talk about this anywhere else!!!

altho frustrating and disappointing for her, I was hoping for a juicier story

sorry...unfortunately, I do have juicier stories but dredging those up would probably put me over the edge tonight!

he'll rue the day if he keeps this up. He will want her to come to his place and she won't or can't,

he'll want to watch the fireworks with his grandkids and oh well, they'll have made other plans

too bad he can't see beyond the present

First, not all men are pigs. (there, I said it) Second he was being prickish, I'd say... denying a request that innocuous is just a

vindictive asshole action... Like said earlier, he's hurting himself more in the long run. Sorry, tho...
