A shame your wife can't say the same.....
You see arci, you need to man up to the fact that YOU are a significant part of the cause of all her anguish, suffering, and lack of certain parts these days. One need only look back at your vp addiction that caused HER vp addiction, and how you just HAD to make that fateful move to LV just to be closer to the machines while ignoring her health issues that required so much more attention for healthier alternatives. Now, sure, I laugh at you--and her for that matter--for your lack of compassion and her lack of intelligence. And both of you definitely are receiving your just rewards for allowing this to perpetuate in the face of disaster, which it really has turned out to be. I suppose your one tiny piece of silver lining in all this is to have watched your vp hero Dancer similarly treat his wife with utter disrespect because of HIS acute problem gambling issue also. Monkey see, monkey do, I guess.
Your invite I take it has been voided. But I'll still give you the opportunity to show you haven't lost all touch with other types of life besides casinos and, if you can bear with me on this, the hospice sort of life. I'll still take the drive and knock on your front door to see if you are the type that is just blowing off steam here and has the wherewithal to drop the grudge--esp. in the spirit of the most holy Christmas holiday.
