Here’s how the story of true love usually goes.
Boy sees an attractive girl and begins to pursue her, and if all goes well, they start dating.
After a couple of pleasant times together, they discover they like each other, so they begin going steady.
When their liking each other turns to love, they get engaged and eventually marry.
As the years go by, and if they don’t have any children, the old adage, “Familiarity breeds contempt,” rears its ugly head.
That’s when what they don’t like about each other begins to creep into the marriage, so the trial separation begins.
When during the separation, when they realize that they didn’t miss each other, they decide to divorce.
However, still liking each other and being level-headed, they decide to get a lawyer they both like to represent them.
Unfortunately, though, this is usually where the wife’s girlfriends get involved and convince her that she can do much better if she gets her own lawyer.
Now, it gets ugly fast, and the only ones who get most of the money are the lawyers who keep stoking the fire to get more.
Oh, and guys, if you do have any children, that part about her having your baby disappears because if she ever leaves, she’s taking them with her.
The end result? Boy and girl now hate each other.

COMMENTS
Wendy Holmes: I really like my comment from above and still stick by it!
Also, the story about hearing your Dad’s voice speaking to you as you flew above the clouds is very touching and believable. One day, when my husband was in care, one of my daughters asked him to come to her as a bird after he passed. Astonishingly, the morning after he passed, she heard a bird chirping. She went to their front veranda and saw a sparrow trapped therein. She believes her dad was reaching out to her even though he was physically gone. Other things have happened to our family, and the most recent occurrence was astounding, but I will not share. Take care, George, and be healthy and happy!! (Psychic)
Geo: Thank you, Wendy.
Nat Humphries: I’ve been away from radio since the end of 1999, George, but around 2010, I began writing a weekly marketing column for a local publication. I had become so frustrated with radio ownership’s refusal to grow the next generation of listeners by investing in a few local billboards that in one column, I advised local heavy-weight businesses, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, to make their next buy contingent on $1600 of it going toward a station billboard on our city’s main thoroughfare, reasoning that the extra ears listening would benefit both parties. I’ve been persona-non-grata in local radio ever since. Honestly, George, help me with the thinking. Is it, “Bleed the last ad dollar until we turn out the lights”? Two generations don’t even know we exist. I’d Rather Stand Alone)
Geo: Nat, what radio used to be about was the future, but since the accountants have taken over, it’s about now. The bankers are only impressed by how cheaply you can run everything because they know, “There ain’t no future in radio.”
