I would probably have said the same thing about the Morelli guy, but when I looked him up, I realized he played Detective Sam Tyler on the one-season show Life on Mars. I liked him on that and you would have not known he was Irish.
I always see Joe Penny when I read Plum novels, but he's waaay too old to be playing Joe Morelli.

I bought it at a beauty supply/cosmetic store in a mall somewhere (I think it was the Garden State Plaza) but you can get it online, too. I haven't looked other places, but I don't think it's as hard to find as I thought it would be.

You know, I kind of like Heigl, after seeing her in a couple of movies. And she adopted a special needs baby girl from Korea (she has an adopted sister from there) so I guess that makes me think fondly of her. I think she may end up being OK but yeah she would not be my first choice.yeah, I'm not sure how that's going to go either - I saw his pic though and he's kind of cute so I guess if he does a good Italian Jersey accent, he'll be okay.

Karen I remember you saying that about Joe Penny, he is not bad! I always think of someone I know personally when I read the books.And as Ranger I think of him more as a Benjamin Bratt type but I think Daniel Sunjata will be good too.
Ben Bratt is cute, but I think he's way too small to be Ranger. I always think he's more like the Rock.You know, I kind of like Heigl, after seeing her in a couple of movies.

But I'm starting to picture Sunjata as I am currently reading 16 now, and it's definitely believable to me.

Check this story out ladies....we are friends with this couple from town, although sort of casual friends and we were definitely closer to them when my husband was in politics because this guy is very involved with the town we live in and we are not in the political arena anymore. They have 2 daughters, one is a freshman or sophomore in HS and the other a freshman in college....very nice people.
The story goes like this....the wife was caught by her husband having an affair with a much younger man. The day he approached her about this, she literally went in her house, packed up all her clothes, shoes and make up, threw it in the back of her car/suv whatever it was and drove off to her boyfriends house. This was 10 months ago. She has not seen her girls since that date. She calls/e-mails them once in awhile but that's it. She completely abandoned them. She also racked up 42K on their VISA in a very short time which he (her husband) had to pay.
I saw him last night for the first time and he re-capped the story i heard. I feel so badly for him and their girls. I don't know what is going through her head. She moved to a town that's about 30 min away from the town we live in. How can anyone do that to their kids? Now Trish, I know sometimes it might be tempting but man......
When we were departing (we were at our kids' field hockey game) he kind of laughed and said, "hey if you know any NICE women that are single, let me know....i don't want to do the whole Match.com thing!" This guy is very good looking, smart and a nice family man. I just can't believe what his wife did. How does she sleep at night?? He told me she didn't even take one picture with her when she left.
Merry f'ing Christmas
Holy carp, Vicki!!!!!!!!!
Wow. Has there been any legal action yet like a separation? I feel terrible for her family.
Now that you mention it....we know a couple where I have my suspicions the wife may be doing something like that...she's having a total mid-life crisis: bewb job, botox, goes tanning, dresses like a 20-year old. She was never like that before. And last weekend she went on some women-only retreat to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow, guns...stuff like that. WTF??
That's pretty insane. I can't imagine any mother I know doing that.Check this story out ladies....we are friends with this couple from town, although sort of casual friends and we were definitely closer to them when my husband was in politics because this guy is very involved with the town we live in and we are not in the political arena anymore.

Yeah I don't know how a woman abandons her children, that's for sure. But then again, who knows what kind of life they really lead. Sometimes things look all nicey nicey on the outside but they're really not what they seem.Check this story out ladies....we are friends with this couple from town, although sort of casual friends and we were definitely closer to them when my husband was in politics because this guy is very involved with the town we live in and we are not in the political arena anymore.

That said, I'd have to say for myself, it would take a lot to just up and leave my daughters without any contact. A man? Definitely. The kids, no. In my first marriage, there were plenty of people who ddidn't understand why I left my husband. Well, he was a creep, and no one knew it because no one saw the day to day life we led. So, who knows if this guy was a good husband or not.

I know of another woman in town....same thing, got her boobs done, started being a personal trainer at this new swanky gym in town, etc etc. I heard last week she served her husband with papers....he's another really nice guy. Always stops to say hello - apparently begged her to stay in their house because he did not want to move away from his 3 little daughters. She agreed for awhile but then served him and now has some bf at the gym. I never really cared for this woman - she had this sort of vacant look about her when trying to strike up a conversation. Her husband is a lawyer and just an all-around nice guy.
Trish, you are right though...in these cases, who really knows what goes on behind closed doors. Maybe these guys seem great on the outside but inside they are totally different. You just don't know.....lately we are hearing about a slew of couple we know in their 40's that are getting divorced and in each of the cases i know, the woman is cheating on the husband. I know that's not always the case but it happens to be in the couples we know from town.
Merry f'ing Christmas
The internet makes it a lot easier for people to have affairs. I know several women whose kids are grown that are just sick to death of their husband's ................ who stray, women who you'd never expect it from.wow....bows and arrows....

Men too. They want something different, and it's easy to find another woman who has more to offer than his wife does.

as for the internet making it easier to have affairs, that's definitely true. they don't call it F*ckbook for nothing.
even if they aren't physical affairs, the emotional ones can be even worse...
I know 2 women who used to be on my bowling league years ago, who left their husband and kids for guys they met online. One woman left her young twins (I forget how old they were, but I want to say 6 years old). The other one's kids were older, like high school age. The latter went to another state and ended up having to support the creep she left her husband for. She left a beautiful house and lots of friends and family. As far as I know, she stayed with the guy and almost caused her family to lose their home.
Another good friend is very unhappy at home, but would never leave her kids. The thing is, her husband seems like the model husband and father to most people. Being one of the few people this person confides in, I know otherwise, and no one who knows her hubby would ever believe the way he really is. So, you don't always know what the home situation is really like.

IMO, emotional affairs do more damage to a marriage than physical affairs.yikes..leaving her kids like that? very sad...like others have said, we don't know the full story but that does still seem odd...

What's the difference? I thought a physical affair was also an emotional affair since emotions were involved.
Merry f'ing Christmas
Exactly.
Merry f'ing Christmas
affairs can be:
emotional and physical
physical only (eff buddies)
emotional only (the person turns outside of the marriage for their emotional needs, and is in a relationship with them in every other way except for having sex)
did I explain that well?
if a relationship is just physical, often it's less difficult for healing the relationship than an emotional one...
oh yeah, i can see that. Although why would anyone want to be physical with someone with no emotions in it? I know people are like that but if I'm gonna f someone, I would have to be emotionally attached or if i wasn't, I probably would be, after sleeping with them, if that makes sense.affairs can be:

it definitely makes sense - me too, that's why I could never do the eff buddy thing very well when I wasn't in a relationshipoh yeah, i can see that. Although why would anyone want to be physical with someone with no emotions in it? I know people are like that but if I'm gonna f someone, I would have to be emotionally attached or if i wasn't, I probably would be, after sleeping with them, if that makes sense.
I see people on Dr Phil and stuff where they say they didn't care that their husband had a fling when it was purely physical...but when it went into a deep emotional connection, they couldn't get past that and i can kind of see that...
back to the online starting affairs and stuff - we adhere to the dr phil what is acceptable rule - if you're typing something that you wouldn't want your significant other to read over your shoulder, you probably shouldn't type it.
That's not what you told me last summer.oh yeah, i can see that. Although why would anyone want to be physical with someone with no emotions in it? I know people are like that but if I'm gonna f someone, I would have to be emotionally attached or if i wasn't, I probably would be, after sleeping with them, if that makes sense.

Thanks for that advice. My nails have been breaking more than they used to. I am going to look for that in the stores. I have used Nailtiques before but I am ready to try something new.I took off my acrylic nails a couple of months ago and had a heck of a time trying to get my natural nails to grow. It takes so long, I usually get impatient having stubby, paper-thin nails and end up putting the acrylics back on.
Then my friend told me about this nail stuff someone recommended to her. It's called Duri Rejuvacote. It's about $13 a bottle, but wow! I have never used a nail strengthening product that actually worked like this.
It didn't work great right away, but the more I started using it, the better it got.
You are supposed to apply it every day and after that, once a week.
My nails are hard now, but not brittle. They are strong and resilient and they are a nice length now. I sound like a commercial.

And she adopted a special needs baby girl from Korea (she has an adopted sister from there) so I guess that makes me think fondly of her. I think she may end up being OK but yeah she would not be my first choice.

I had an acquaintance who did that exact same thing, put some things in a car and drove to L.A. from a suburb about 45 minutes away, left her kids behind and never looked back. She did see her kids after awhile for visits but they stayed with their father after the inevitable divorce and she started a business in L.A. with her settlement money. Cold hearted much?Check this story out ladies....we are friends with this couple from town, although sort of casual friends and we were definitely closer to them when my husband was in politics because this guy is very involved with the town we live in and we are not in the political arena anymore.

This guy is very good looking, smart and a nice family man. I just can't believe what his wife did. How does she sleep at night?? He told me she didn't even take one picture with her when she left.
I also had a friend who is now deceased, who walked out on her family, two kids and a husband to marry a man who had also walked out on a family of 5 kids and a wife. They got married, bought a house that had only one bedroom in it. ONE. Do you think they were sending a message? Duh!
Long story short my friend's ex husband raised the kids, they loved and were loyal to their father. Their relationship with their mother was always strained, even though they did try to maintain a relationship it was never the same again.
P.S. the new husband, after 10 years of marriage, didn't come home one night. She thought he was dead or something so she called the police and they told her that men do this all the time. She said "not my husband." I said, "he is seeing someone else." After a few days he called her and said, "I'm not coming home. I have met someone else. I want to sell the house and get a divorce." She had a lot of lonely years after that.
I also should add that my ex-husband's wife of 30 years and two kids went to a high school reunion, met an old flame, came home and informed him she is in love with her old flame and also packed her bags, after a couple of weeks of fighting, and moved in with the old flame who I think she has since married.

^^ wow Lorraine. I know it happens everywhere but I'm still blown away by people that can leave/abandon their children.
Merry f'ing Christmas
I know I could never do it.

That is the part I cannot fathom...and it really upsets me to think about it. I know I'm not a Mom so I can't put myself in their shoes--but frankly it makes me sick to think about leaving something/someone so precious behind.
Leaving the guy...that's another issue.
That's how I feel Danielle. Right now my daughter is upstairs sleeping (she has a cold) and the 2 boys are snuggled on the couch under a blanket watching TV (and not wrestling for a change).....I can't imagine how anyone could abandon their children. Yeah, the guy....depends but if he's treating a woman like sh*t, then it's understandable to leave him....That is the part I cannot fathom...and it really upsets me to think about it. I know I'm not a Mom so I can't put myself in their shoes--but frankly it makes me sick to think about leaving something/someone so precious behind.

There are times that I can say if I just had the older daughter, there might have been times where if I had somewhere to go, I might have done so. So I can't really judge.
I don't think I'd do it, but boy she sure has made my life pretty miserable.

I've used Nailtiques and just about every nail hardener you can imagine in the past and they did nothing for my nails. It's nice to finally find something that really works.
The only problem with natural nails is that the polish doesn't stay on as long as when they are covered in acrylic. But as long as I can have them at a decent length and they're not breaking left and right, I can live with that.

What makes women think the guy is going to remain faithful to them if they cheated on their wives or left them for someone else? That always amazes me.
