O ya Go with the omakase?
- justbeingpolite Aug 28, 2009 08:14 AM
Any reason not to do the omakase if one can?
re: Trumpetguy
Don't pass on the great sake list either then :)
Omakase is great, especially if you let Nancy pair with sake. On subsequent visits, I've gone a la carte as I knew what things really made me smile.
No matter what, it will be a stellar experience.
re: enhF94
That's true....if you've been before. I have had omakase several times and it has not varied a lot, though each time I specify something I am interested in that night (uni, wagyu, foie, ask about their specials...). But if it is a first time I recommend it as it gives you a "greatest hits" version of the menu I guess and takes the pressure off trying to decide form so many fantastic looking things. Just be sure to nail down the price before you go with it!
A word of caution: know that the omakase consists in your waiter picking 15 menu items for you, charging each diner half the full cost of each item (since each diner gets half a serving of each item). But as far as I can tell, you have a say in what's included. I regret that I left the decisions entirely to the staff, as I ended up with a menu that leaned too heavily on the nigiri and sashimi and included an all too exorbitantly priced piece of waygu (the one with the smoked potato and grilled onion garnishes; I didn't like these at all). So yes, do try the omakase, but also try mentioning the dishes you'd really like to see included in (or excluded from) it.
re: nwinkler
Yep, that's where I landed too: oddly asking for omakase "but perhaps you could include this and this and this?" which they happily indulged. I had the same exorbitant wagyu, but loved it; and of course I won't pass up either kumamoto preparation.
Speaking of items not previously on my omakase, has anyone tried the...
porcelet tonkatsu
chicken yakitori
onsen egg
soba noodles
silken tofu tempura?
re: enhF94
I"ve had the soba with uni, it was very good but if you're going to pay more than say $10 per omakase course I would be inclined to substitute something more substantial or unusual. Same goes for the other dishes like yakitori, tofu tempura and tonkatsu, which I have not tried at O-Ya but which personally I would not squander my omakase dollars on (if I want tonkatsu, yakitori or tofu tempura, I"ll go to Fugakyu, Cafe Mami etc.) Just my 2 cents...
re: enhF94
Had the tonkatsu and yakitori ages ago, and they were fine, but not as good as the sushi/sashimi. It's not a bad idea to go back and forth with the chefs, ordering one or two items at a time with their advice. It's more interactive too if that's what you like.
Also, the bar seats in front of the fridge case are prime real estate -- it gives one a chance to check out the slabs of fish and other seafood and thus can help the ordering process.
re: enhF94
The silken tofu tempura is one of the best items on the menu, IMO. Floating in a salty, complex dashi broth ((IIRC) that's incredible---you won't find a similar dish that comes close in Boston. I'm also a big fan of the Onsen egg. The others on your list are fine, but there are so many other, more "wow" dishes elsewhere on the menu that I only re-try them every once in a while.
re: nwinkler
A word of caution, indeed. 'Omakase' by definition means a chef's selection of dishes, but I felt as if our waiter picked them as well, which is not what I am paying what turned out to be an exorbitant sum for. I also expected some items to be served that were not listed on the menu, but no, as described in this thread it was a 'greatest hits' from the menu and with the fuzzy pricing to boot, we walked out sick to our stomachs for being ripped off in such a way. Also we were served FIVE courses with truffle oil on them, uh, 1993 called and it wants it's culinary crutch back?!? When one has not earned Michelin Stars, or international acclaim for that matter, and manages to make Le Bernadin look like a bargain something is wrong. O Ya got my money once, but never again, I will stick to Uni and Oishii in the future.

re: suzysue2
Correct. It is not true omakase, more of a guided tour, which I found useful on my first visit but would not need to do again.
As for the ripped-off feeling, that is a risk at any very expensive restaurant, and there's no question that this is one. I'm afraid it is a place not to go if one cannot separate the dining experience from the knowledge of its cost. Standard value calculus does not work here. That said, I will be back, because there is nowhere else I can get that experience, and it continues to ring euphonically in my memory.
re: suzysue2
"1993 called and it wants it's [sic] culinary crutch back?!? " Hilarious!
However, I have to quibble with your statement that O Ya has not earned international acclaim. The list of awards is stacking up and surely news has reached the international dining scene. The meal I had here was definitely one of the top 3 of my life.

Absolutely get the omakase -- you can request favorites that you want to be sure not to miss. Do yourself a favor and request the foie gras sushi with balsamic-chocolate sauce; it's one of the best dishes in Boston. The hamachi with banana-pepper mousse is fantastic too.
The wine/sake pairing is great, too, but only if the owner's wife (Nancy) is the sommelier that night.
re: Boston_Otter
Thanks, all.
I'm on my way
re: justbeingpolite
Wow!! what a meal.
Thanks for pushing me to the omakaze.
I think I had all the standard dishes, and they seem too many to recount.
I'm usually not an uni guy, but decided to let it go and try it. Boy that Santa Barbara uni is smooth stuff, it might have turned me.
If there was any quibble, the two (or was it three) dishes with truffle oil on them were so potent, they might have slightly overwhelmed the succeeding dish. But every, and I mean every bite was a revelation.
My DC did not get the omakaze (but shared some bites of mine) . This way I got to taste the lobster salad, beet shashimi, Chanterelle sashimi, and rock shrimp kakiage, all of which were wonderful.
The Cushmans were on site, and Ms Cushman picked sake pairings with the omakaze. She couldn't have been sweeter or more helpful.
I loved the board favorites: the foie gras was decadent, loved the hamachi with banana pepper mousse that Boston Otter referred to above.
Thanks again
re: justbeingpolite
I'm really happy you enjoyed your meal! Yeah, frankly I sort of avoid truffle oil wherever I go; it's so heavy that it tends to stick with me for the rest of the meal. I'm with you there.
I didn't get to try the rock shrimp, beet sashimi, or lobster salad -- I'll definitely give those a try when I get to go next.
Glad you got to have a quality sake pairing; my one quibble with my last visit was that my waiter tried to play sommelier instead, and just sort of gave me random glasses of wine and sake during the meal, saying stuff like "here's a tasty wine" or "this should go well with the next few dishes". Tasty wine, yes, but not a well done pairing.
Never had their uni, either... and I've never had a decent uni experience. That and natto just leave me cold. But I'm sure O Ya would make me a fan if anyone could :)
re: Boston_Otter
I usually find uni too "oceanny", like anything but the freshest of mussels can taste. And the New England uni, even when I've snorkled and picked up some sea urchins, cracked 'em and ate it fresh, can be a little too strong.
At O Ya they were opening these beatiful little crates of Santa Barbara uni, lovely light color and taste. Nothing like what I expected. I'd try that again for sure. Haven't tried natto, but I suspect it would take some getting used to, definitely an acquired taste!
I didn't mention the truffle potato chip sushi, that was good, and that use of truffle I had no quibble with (just the price when I happened to look over my bill, though I like that they itemize everything so you can recall what you had).
Thanks once more for everyone's help. I'm already plotting to go again sometime.
re: justbeingpolite
I love sea urchin, but I thought it was the weakest dish at Oya when I had it. Not bad; just not up to the quality of the other fish served.
I've had better at Sakura Bana.
re: justbeingpolite
Sounds DELICIOUS! Do you mind to share approximately how much your omakase was w/o drinks or gratuity?

We've liked the family suite at All Star Music the best so far, the cabins second best. The cabins may be considered "deluxe" though, I'm not sure. ??? We are staying off season rates with a discount code in the cabin for about the same price as the family suite, so I consider them somewhat equal in my mind! I like having the 2 bathrooms in a suite though vs. just one in the cabin.

At the 'Ve y Vota' call center: Taking calls, questions, complaints since 3 a.m.
Photo by Leslie Berestein Rojas/KPCC
Taking calls at the "Ve y Vota" voter outreach campaign's call center tonight in South L.A.
It's been a long day, but not as long for most as it has been for some of the people staffing the "Ve y Vota" call center at the South L.A. headquarters of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, where calls from voters have been coming in since 3 a.m.
The phone bank, one of several around the country put together by the same team of advocacy and media groups as part of a voter outreach campaign, has been fielding calls as simple as "Where do I vote?" to calls about voter intimidation and rude poll workers, with complaints referred to volunteer attorneys.
So far, the complaints coming in to this particular call center - which has been taking calls from around the country (with some phone staffers in since before dawn) and will be open until midnight - have been relatively minimal, with the most excitement surrounding media reports of Spanish-language "robocalls" and mailers advising recipients to vote a day late. So far, the only thing confirmed by staffers has been a bilingual flyer in New York state with a Nov. 3 date in the Spanish translation, said Gladys Negrete, a data analyst with the NALEO Educational Fund.
More attempts to dissuade Latino voters reported

Outside a polling place today in Bell, Calif.
Two weeks after news broke of an unaired ad campaign urging Latinos not to vote, efforts to dissuade Latinos from the polls have reportedly continued into the eleventh hour.
Election Protection, a polling watchdog group, has told the Associated Press that about two dozen Los Angeles residents have received automated calls in Spanish and printed mailers instructing them not to vote until tomorrow, the day after the midterm election. An official from the group said it's believed that most of the calls and mailers have been received since yesterday morning.
Some voters in Bell, a city in southeast Los Angeles County that is more than 90 percent Latino, reported receiving similar calls recently. Father and son Porfirio and Irving Quijada, both of Bell, said this morning at their polling place that they had received an anonymous voicemail message about two weeks ago urging them not to vote, and that others in their neighborhood had received calls like this, too.

On the Day of the Dead, remembering the art of José Guadalupe Posada

"La Catrina" as part of a monument to Posada in Aguascalientes, Mexico, May 2007
This Election Day happens to fall on el Día de Los Muertos, the day of the dead. Think Mexican has posted an homage to the late Mexican illustrator José Guadalupe Posada, whose skeletal "La Catrina" is synonymous with Mexico's annual celebration of the dead as a part, always, of our lives.
According to tradition, the dead make their annual journey back to the land of the living at this time of year, and are welcomed home with altars laden with food, drink and tokens of what they loved in life.
The observance ends tonight.
At the polls in Bell, voters are still smarting
Photo by Leslie Berestein Rojas/KPCC
Voters lined up this morning outside a polling place at the Iglesia de Dios church in Bell, Calif.
Is the political corruption that scandalized Bell a few months ago helping drive voter turnout there today?
Poll workers at one of two polling places set up at the Iglesia de Dios church in eastern Bell, a city that is more than 90 percent Latino, said this morning that it was too early to tell if voter turnout was any bigger than in previous election years, but noted that some voters had asked if they could vote for city officials in this general election.
They can't - a recall election for the mayor, vice mayor and one city council member is scheduled for March - but some voters outside the polling places in Bell today were smarting nonetheless. Voters said they were angry over the fiscal mismanagement and inordinately high salaries that landed eight city officials in jail earlier this fall, as well as the city's jacked-up property taxes, the second-highest rate in the county.

I recently told you about Pam Anderson's newest book, Perfect One-Dish Dinners and how much I love it. A few days after my post, I received an email from Maggy, Pam's daughter, and one of the Three Many Cooks. Maggy explained that she was organizing a kind of virtual book tour and asked if I would be willing to participate. I already knew that I loved the book, and so my obvious answer was of course! She challenged the participants to have a Sunday Supper and make a recipe or an entire menu from the book to share with friends or loved ones, then write about the experience. It has been a crazy couple of weeks at our house, and so the timing was perfect. We definitely needed some special family time. I mentioned a few different main dish choices to Mr. Fuji, and he immediately perked up when he heard the words "Chicken Biryani." So I made the biryani, along with the accompanying menu recipes for a baby spinach salad with mango, red onion, and cilantro, and a recipe for apricot-date-pistachio bars. Every time I make something from this book I love it even more, and this menu lineup was no exception. The biryani was a snap to make and full of flavor. The salad was refreshing and beautiful. But really? The best part was getting to sit down with my sweet little family and enjoy our time together around the table.
Time spent around the dinner table as a family is so valuable, though at times it requires a lot of effort and coordination to pull it off. It makes me grateful for the time and effort my own mother put into making sure we always had dinner together as a family. I have such fond memories of those meals, and know that we were closer then and are closer now because of that effort.
Not only did we get some special family time, but Squirrel and I had some special baking time too! Squirrel joined me in the kitchen to make the cookie bars. When I did my grocery shopping for the meal I was sure that I had cardamom and dates. Then when Squirrel and I went to make the bars I couldn't find the dates and realized that my cardamom spice jar was empty. Sigh. Instead of running to the grocery store I decided to "Fuji-fy" the bars a bit and use some items we already had on hand.
I replaced the dates with some dried Black Mission figs that I still had on hand from the California Fig Advisory BoardBlack Miss (remember Fig Week? Yum!) and used allspice in place of the cardamom. I'm sure the recipe as it was originally written is delicious, but after making them the Fuji-fied way, I'm not sure my family would be happy if I changed anything! These bars are bursting with dried fruit, nuts, and coconut and use one of my all-time favorite ingredients (sweetened condensed milk)! The bars were delicious, moist, chewy, and rich—entirely addicting. The various dishes we made were a huge success and definitely made for a perfect dinner. If you don't already have a copy of the book, you need one! If you're not convinced, visit some of the other book tour participants (links after the recipe)!

Apricot-Fig-Pistachio Bars
Adapted from Perfect One-Dish Dinners, by Pam Anderson
Makes 16 bars
1/2 cup bleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
6 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup shelled roasted and salted pistachios
1 cup chopped dried figs
1 cup chopped dried apricots
1. Adjust oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray an 8-inch square metal baking pan with vegetable-oil cooking spray. Fold a 16-inch length of heavy-duty foil to 7 1/2 inches wide and lay it across the pan bottom and up two of its sides so the foil overhangs to remove the bars from the pan. Spray the foil with the vegetable-oil cooking spray.
2. Mix the flour, oatmeal, and sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in the butter with a fork until it is well mixed and clumps form. Spread 3/4 cup of the oatmeal mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it down to form a thin crust on the bottom.
3. Meanwhile, heat the condensed milk and allspice to a simmer in a small saucepan over low heat to blend the flavors. Mix the coconut, pistachios, figs, and apricots in a medium bowl. Add the milk mixture and stir to combine. Pour over the oatmeal crust in the pan, using a rubber sptaiula to press the mixture into place. Sprinkle the remaining oatmel mixture over the filling.
4. Bake the bars until they are lightly golden, about 30 minutes. Set on a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes. Using the foil handles, gently lift the bars from the pan and cool to room temperature (the bars will continue to set as they cool). Cut into squares and serve.

Guides for People With HIV


text:
Listening to Liz Greene's taped lecture series on the Planet Neptune (Neptune: learning to grow gills) it impressed upon me the idea that our very misconception of Neptune "spirituality" can be very destructive in our life as it can undermine more grounded longings. She opens the lecture by asking attendants their opinion about Neptune and confronts what seems to be a bias towards believing that Neptune is somehow more "spiritual" than other planets simply by virtue of the fact that it sees and feels a world beyond the one we find ourselves in. While she argues that this is a valid form or idea of spirituality, she reminds us that the qualities and desires this planet espouses are not inherently "good" as we've come to blindly assume. She challenges us to question why this planet is somehow linked to goodness and asks us to consider the history of a hierarchal form of spirituality. Why have we learned to associate spirit (as in transcending reality and the body) with goodness?

She asks us to consider what the "spirituality" of Saturn or Mercury look like and not to incarcerate them outside the heavenly gates simply because they don't necessarily promote what we have come to believe (as Neptune would have us) what is ethereal or pure. While they have different modes of expression and means of getting there, all planets have have their own Gods and ideals and it is quite curious how we have come to believe that Neptune has monopolized this psychic real estate.

If we enter a discussion about art and astrology, Neptune undoubtedly enters stage right as one of the most imaginative and visionary planets which influences are ability and desire to create. However, if we talk about escapism and a host of other artists-as self-destructive driftwood Neptune is also a leading culprit. Neptune is rich in imagination and the inspiration that comes from envisioning possibility but is actually quite disinterested in enriching our everyday lives. We need to balance Neptune and its insatiable yearning to break through the veil of our reality with a dose of say..Saturnian or Mercurial spirituality if we ever want to see our imaginations have some real world consequence. In order to actually lift and open the spirits of others as art often can do, then we need to bring our pie-in-the-sky down for some real world consumption and satiation.

Good luck
" she said our marriage was over".
"She doesn't want to send NC letter"
Bigger than the gas lighting and blame shifting BS she is giving you. I'm so sorry but she has started to create a life with OM. Go ahead and file., but be prepared to follow through. You love your life....Of course.. You want to undo he mess...many many if us here have been there and can attest to it being an unfair fight if your the only one fighting to save the M
But you're right, I feel like I'm fighting alone right now - despite what she said to me yesterday - and that is far from fair. It's impossible.
She's flatly refusing transparency ('I won't live like that') and MC ('I'm not talking to anyone'). We haven't even got onto the NC letter yet but I have a feeling that will go the same way.
^^^ THIS ^^^^ Is very telling. She doesn't get it, and nothing is going to change if you don't have consequences for her actions. OK so you aren't ready to D. NONE OF US WERE. But what we were willing to do was risk the loss of our M to save it. Until she feels the pain, loss, and destruction she has caused, she isn't going to change anything.
Remember anything out of her mouth is not to be believed. No MATTER WHAT. ACTIONS are where it counts.
There are a few things that are absolutes for R to be successful.
1. Establishing and maintaining complete and total NC. THIS HAS TO HAPPEN. If she wavers on it, pack her a bag and send her on her way.
2. Complete and total transparency - Those with nothing to hide, hide nothing. She is hiding everything still. She won't even give you access to her phone, and when she comes home tonight and negotiates that you can have access to her phone, but she isn't sending a NC note, you can bet your sweet ass that she has a burner phone hidden someplace.
Without these two things established you will not R. Read the profiles of a few of us who have successfully R'd. Myself included. You will see a pattern of things we did and didn't do to make this thing work. Most of us stumbled a few times as well.
We give strong worded advice, because we know how damn bad it hurts. We also want to save you the same pain.
Call a Solicitor/lawyer, and find out your rights, and her obligations. This really does give you an idea of how things will play out, and can help you be strong on your demands for love and respect.
Don't be afraid of losing her, you already have. She didn't even give you the chance to save her, or your M. So now you have to fight with all you have.
keep reading, keep posting.
(((and strength))))
Don't be afraid of losing her, you already have. She didn't even give you the chance to save her, or your M.
Also, your WW is showing you who she is. Believe her. What you thought was someone so wonderful is now showing you who she is at her worst, at her very core. What wonderful person would stab you in the back like this and endanger you and your family in the process?
You need to get to a position of strength in your mind to be able to evaluate what your WW is showing you with her ACTIONS. Words are cheap and manipulative.
Our suggestions are not to sway your from going to R. They are to help you get out of the hole you are in and to a better position to protect yourself and your son and keep you from getting sucked into your WW's wicked maelstrom.
Also, I'm going to respectfully take a slight exception to adriana1980 comment about the OM being the "alpha" male. Saveus, this OM guy is three times divorced, right? That's someone who has a problem staying married. His last Ex picked up on your WW and OM having a fling. This guy goes for "sloppy seconds". They sneak around with their A. Is any of that really "Alpha" behavior? No, but it is the false illusion that he sells. Real Alphas would go out on their own, without fear of rejection, and make connections with other UNATTACHED women. And when they find out they are attached, they drop them like a hot potatoe. Now adriana does have a point about showing strength, and that is what you need to do but more for yourself and your son. I don't think your WW even recognizes what strength is, so don't place any expectations there for her to notice.
We've all been there and we are guiding you based on our experience. We are going to give you 2x4's as needed to keep you on track with your healing and recovery, then if R is even possible, the guidance to ensure it is real R. You do not want a false R to happen to you. But first things first, heal and take care of you and your son.
Tush says it very plainly. Reed her comment until you really understand it. There's also thread for newbies you might find helpful.
[This message edited by Schadenfreude at 10:22 AM, May 1st (Thursday)]
It sounds like you're worried that making a mistake right now will cost you your marriage. Aside from physical harm or cruelty, that's not the case.
It takes two people to be married. Your wife is not one of them right now. It doesn't matter what the details are, she simply isn't willing to work on the marriage. Will this change? Maybe. Maybe not. You're in this horrible purgatory while she decides.
In the meantime, you can only work on yourself. Trying to discuss this with her will only irritate her. You can't compete with OM - he's a shiny new object. When you tell her that you love her, it probably confuses her, because she isn't feeling or acting very loveable right now. The 180 is only a tool that is supposed to help you focus on yourself and on your son. It's not going to change her opinion of anything.
Sorry you're going through this. I did six years ago. Not a place I ever want to be again.
Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it.
Thank you. You're right about being stuck in purgatory. I hate feeling like I've done nothing wrong yet I've got to sit and wait for my wife to 'see sense'. But, of course, I don't. I can take care of me. And my son of course.
Thank you too. I know you're right, and trying to save me lots of wasted weeks/months/years hoping for something that can never return. I AM trying to listen, but my wife just isn't talking. Last night she opened up a bit and I took on board a couple of things she said. She has said she thinks the marriage was dead long before her A, though I can't help but think there is some truth here but really this is her defensiveness talking. Justifying her actions. That is totally her. But I can see how I could easily follow in your footsteps, despite your best efforts to make me see sense.
The purpose of the letter is to put my feelings and emotions into cold, hard type (I may actually write it out by hand as I haven't done that for her in years) so she can't avoid it. Secondly, to express my love but also my sheer frustration at her, and to give her two choices: to leave and go be with the OM, or to commit once and for all to 'true' R. So far, when we've discussed this, even when I've tried to put my foot down and demand things like 100% transparency, she's side-stepped it or flatly refused to 'live like that'. I can hear how pathetic I sound. In a letter I thought I could express myself better, and make it clear what I need to happen if she IS going to commit to me/our M.
The real problem - as I've written in the letter - is that her A is still ongoing, as far as I'm concerned. She slept with him only 6 days ago. He's been texting his undying love and sounding more and more desperate ('Are you dumping me?' etc), saying he's been looking out at night expecting her to walk up to his front door. That kind of thing. My WW has not been very forthcoming about these texts - she deleted one yesterday and has briefly shown me others, but all the above I only saw at 6am this morning despite some irrational freaking out on behalf of my wife. I strongly suspect this is about 'invasion of privacy' rather than having anything else to hide, but of course I could well be wrong (and ought to assume I am). It did look, however, as if she hasn't replied in a long while, hence the OM's growing desperation. And bear in mind my WW believes I can read all her texts now, even without her phone.
As yet there has been no NC letter/email sent. She still wants to deal with this her own way (I know!! It's not her choice!!!), despite this being what she said she had to do on the Wednesday of week 1. I've put that as a condition in the letter. Oh, and we're likely to come face-to-face with him again tomorrow morning (or at least I am).
What I need to consider is whether to include an ultimatum (or whether it's clear enough already that I have).
I know why you've written a letter. You're trying to get through to her. You are trying to break her delusion. If only she could see things from a rational perspective. Every single word that you write is oozing pain and emotion.
It won't have the effect you're looking for. Been there and done that. EPIC FAIL.
I sent numerous letters in the early days to my ex firmly of the belief that this letter would be the one to snap her out of her delusion and make her realise what she's done/ doing. Most of my letters were written with tears rolling down my face. I bared my soul, questioned her choices, reminded her of what we had and begged.
What a fucking waste of time that was. I later saw some of the emails she sent POS where she discussed the letters with him. She considered them to be biased, irrelevant, desperate and weak. Any parts that she disagreed with or challenged her behaviour she got angry about. She said I was 'lobbying' her. The more I did it the more she switched off.
Please don't send it. It won't work
[This message edited by allatsea at 2:23 AM, May 2nd (Friday)]
I know this is painful stuff, but have you given any thought to detaching? She's still not allowing transparency, which by the way happens in a healthy M naturally anyway so the privacy thing is total bullocks. She's not showing any remorse. IMHO you need to be ready to let it all go if there's any chance of saving anything here.
I won't rush to send it (haven't even considered how I'll do that anyway) but as of right now I do think I will.
You must all be beating your heads against the wall right now. Join the club
What myself and the others are saying is that you need to stand up and throw up a huge stop sign. That's right bro, YOU need to stop her from making your life miserable. While we all agree that her behaviors suck, your the one who is allowing it to continue. Lets dissect this a little. She is caught up in the fantasy that is the OM, She can not or will not stop seeing the OM, OM is feeding her all of the usual bullshit lines that OM say. All this time you are at home holding down the fort. Don't think for one minute her last sexcapade with OM was a spur of the moment thing. That shit was planned long before it was executed. Come on now, she actually told you in advance she might not be coming home and I'll bet my left testicle her sister was/is in on this all along. So you sit there telling her what she must do, she balks and you do nothing. Time to stand up and toss her ass to the curb. Send her to the OM, that right pack her shit and send her off to him. But here's some news for you, he does not want her. Sure he wants to have no strings attached sex with her, but do you really think he wants anything else ? He wants things exactly how they are. He can call her when he wants to get his dick wet and send her off when he is done. And where does she go after pleasuring him ? Well back to you of course because as of now you wont stand up to her and toss her cheating ass to the curb.
So she will continue to fuck the OM on your dime. The OM will gladly accept banging your WW while you still hold down the fort paying all the bills and doing what needs to be done at home. And your misery will continue, in fact it will get worse. Much worse until a day comes when your gonna lose it all. There is only so much emotional torture a person can endure. And your breakdown will happen sooner or later. How and what happens varies. You might get lucky and only wake up in the looney bin or perhaps you will wake up in a jail cell, or maybe you wont wake up at all. But the reason this is going to happen is because YOU refuse to stop this. I'm going to give you the first piece of advice I ever got from my therapist. She said
"You cant control other peoples actions, but you do have control on how you react to them"
We are hear to offer advice based entirely on our own experiences and the results we got from doing the things we did.
You have to do what you need to do. Even with the hindsight I have now I still think I would send one or two letters. It was my way of ensuring that she knew how I felt. I never wanted to be accused of not fighting for our marriage. I can hold my head up high and look my children in the eyes and tell them that I did everything I could. One day even the exW may realise that everything I wrote was true.
I might choose to reword my letters and reduce the level of begging but I don't regret sending them even though I know they made no difference. She was already gone. So at least I feel I got my perspective voiced.
I also found myself sending her snippets of information from infidelity websites, psychology experts etc in the hopes she could see that she was acting in a textbook fashion and was blameshifting, re-writing the marriage and deluded. I even sent her a link about cognitive dissonance which she laughed at.
Ironically a few months later she told me that I was a narcissistic sociopath and was suffering from cognitive dissonance. I couldn't believe it. Projection at its worst.
Whatever you do, we'll be here. I've lost count the number of times I've been hit over the head by all these good people each and every time I went 'pain shopping' or breaking NC. The support is amazing.
If you insist on transparency "or else!" make sure you back it up.
Don't say "you must stop seeing him," if you're not prepared to enforce consequences.
If you make a demand for an NC letter and she laughs at you, or simply says, "no, you can't control me," you have to be prepared to ask her to move out.
If you don't back up your demands, she will never take them seriously again.
I realize that she may have the dominant personality in your relationship. that doesn't matter. You don't have to go all alpha male if that's not really who you are.
However, you need to determine what you will put with if you are going to stay married. If you can't stand what is happening, you can simply say to her, "honey, I love you, but I can't live like this. If you want him, go get him. But I won't continue even another day sharing my wife. So go do what you must. But if you are not choosing me, I'm going to have to file for divorce. I'm sorry it's come to this. But I won't share my wife for even a day."
She'll say she needs time. That she doesn't know what to do. That she can't make her mind up on the spot like this. But you respond with, "I'm sorry, I won't share my wife for even a day. I can't give you time. I love you, but it's not fair to me."
Sure.. it may sound dangerous. But it's the only thing you can do. Otherwise she'll just drag you along while she's getting "I love you" texts from another man.
Tell me, it must have been brutal when you read his text to her "are you breaking up with me?" Man... I would have hit the roof.
You see? You need to determine what is acceptable for you. And then lay it on the line for her. If she doesn't budge, you need to move on. That is the only way she will even have a chance of coming out of the selfish fog she is in.

DDay 1/15/2013
Whatever happens, though... Whether your marriage succeeds or fails... It will be different. There's no substitute for the work she has to do to be a good partner again.
You've obviously read a lot about this over the past two weeks. There are common elements to most of these stories. She's in what we call the Fog of an affair. She has invented an alternate reality in which you're the villain. This is how most partners justify an affair that they know is wrong.
But it's called the Fog because it's too thick to see through. Unfortunately, you're the last person she'll trust to guide her through it.
On the plus side, OM sounds rather pathetic, and now that the affair is exposed, he's becoming less appealing by the minute. So that's reason for hope. It sounds like he'll self-destruct if left to his own devices.
There's no substitute for your wife needing to discover all of this on her own. She can't be told about it. This isn't an easy road and it isn't a short road.
I don't think there's any point offering her a TripTik when she doesn't know where she wants to go. When it's time, she'll tell you. Transparency is a piece of the trip that's a long way from here. NC letters, I think, backfire more often than not.
But, yeah, I remember very well that need to get everything on paper. For me. Just so I knew I was doing the work. It won't fix the problem, but it has value. Yes, it will seem weak to her in her current state. It will annoy her. But your focus has to be on what you need right now.
Many times the result was sent to the WS and many times it ended up staying in cyberspace. In either situation it almost universally helped the BS in gathering their thoughts and focusing on how to interact with the wayward. I say start the exercise and get feedback.

Drop Dead Diva seems regularly to be patting silly, charming women on their heads and telling them they're cute, as when Jane's new boyfriend (David Denman) tries to soothe her by saying, "When you get mad, you're pretty adorable." Such irritations undermine the show's kicky surrealism.

Arthur Miller was one of the greatest playwrights of the 20th century (Death of a Salesman anyone?). but he almost quit being a playwright. After his first play tanked on Broadway, Miller swore if All My Sons failed that he'd quit the business. The play is set just after World War II. Factory owner Joe Keller didn't go to jail for shipping out the faulty airplane materials that caused the deaths of 21 pilots, but his family finds out he was guilty. Things go downhill from there--Miller wasn't a fan of the Greek tragedies for nothing--but the ride (which covers denial versus truth, hope versus despair and illusions versus reality) is worth the tears. See for yourself at 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through October 16 at the University Theatre, 800 W. Campbell Road in Richardson. Tickets are $15. Call 972-883-2552 or visit ah.utdallas.edu.
Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m. Starts: Oct. 7. Continues through Oct. 16, 2010

Generally, this car has been a trooper. I got her from my parents in December of 2001, they bought her almost brand new as a program car in 1993. She took us on several 200+ mile trips to visit family, a pretty lengthy journey to Disneyworld, an even lengthier trip to Kentucky - and this was all mostly during her first 60,000. After that point, as I've heard was common with this particular model, the transmission gave out and we had to have a new one dropped in. Since owning it, I've had to have a new compressor installed, and she's having trouble with oil consumption and struts. But for her age, the fact she's still running is quite impressive.
Bought this van for handyman business. It has been a reliable mobile tool box since the purchase. Van now has 160+K Miles. It burns oil, but still hauls plywood and lumber w/out the cost of a V8 pick up.
My van has the 3.3 litre V6 engine with the 4 speed trans. with overdive. It's not a good tranny as you've read here. The rebuilder said it's similar to unit fitted in the old Dodge Omni and Horizon compacts from the 80's. Guess they had lots of spares. You can expect to replace it about every 40 000 miles. The engine is very good actually, I never had much trouble with it other than a head gasket being replaced once. The ABS system failed at around 150000 miles and it was under warranty for life, low cost repair.
What a great vehicle. I bought in '98 with about 45,000 miles and "commuted" from LA to Vancouver - up to 10 times a year! 2 long days of driving. I am tall, lowered the driver's seat 2 inches, took out the back seats and made a comfortable, almost queen size bed, good for a "micro motor home". Good fuel economy with the 3L engine. The a/c pump is about all I've had trouble with. Engine and tranny are great, after 13 years. Change brakes and tires, oil & tranny fluid - that's it. Thanks, Chrysler, for a great vehicle.
At 70,000 miles it started leaking oil; was told the problem was blowby, which can only be fixed by replacing engine (I have been told by more than one mechanic that this is fairly common for Caravans like mine). I've been able to live with the oil leak, but now at 133,000 miles the transmission is going out. Talking with other caravan owners, transmission problems are very common. Before buying an older Caravan I would make sure to have a mechanic check out the transmission carefully.
This has been the most reliable and
versatile vehicle we have ever owned.

The Voice Recap: Cassadee Pope Leaves Fab Four Far From "Torn"by Free Britney at . Comments
On the heels of news that NBC renewed The Voice for two more seasons came another round of blind auditions Tuesday. While the process is starting to drag, these singers made up for it.
In particular, Cassadee Pope made up for it.
Team Blake Shelton
Cassadee's powerhouse rendition of "Torn" got all four judges to turn around in rapid succession, a bit surprising given how discerning they've seemed with other capable vocalists.
Pope, who once toured with Fall Out Boy, ultimately went with Blake.
Charlie Rey also joined Shelton's ranks, following an understated but still compelling version of Michael Buble's "Home." From the smog shop to The Voice, watch out for Rey:
Team Adam Levine
The Maroon 5 frontman tried and failed to land both Cassadee and Charlie, even after proclaiming himself an "obviously" superior coach than his BFF Shelton, going 0-fer Tuesday.
Team Christina Aguilera
Xtina picked up Sylvia Yacoub, an Egyptian-born singer with Xtina's dream hair and a pretty dreamy voice, based on her take on Rihanna's hit single "Only Girl in the World." Watch:
Team Cee Lo Green
Once again, CLG added a singer, Amanda Brown, who did not get anyone else to turn around. Seems to be a pattern, though her take on Amy Winehouse's "Valerie" was quite good:
Who were your favorites from Tuesday night's round of auditions? Which coach is your favorite? And are you excited for the Blind Auditions to finally be over?
Please check out my article, "Fall In Love: Cassadee Pope Auditions For The Voice". http://bit.ly/SAKGYQ
I agree. Weird, my friends and i were just talking about the same thing since last weeks episodes. It is so nice to watch such a positive show that doesn't thrive on people's flaws and negative aspect! Ive no fan of X factor or american idol. but been a super fan of the voice since Super Bowl Premiere. And I don't even have children yet. Thx for posting Florida doc
I LOVE the Voice!!! But am I the only one this season that is REALLY DISAPPOINTED with Blake Shelton's unfortunate choice of FOUL LANGUAGE this year?
One of the top reasons I was drawn to the Voice in the first place since the 2nd season (well other than my new found "MOM CRUSH on ADAM!) was
"feel so darn good" aspect & to see such talented people fulfilling the American Dream! Does MARK BURNETT turns everything to GOLD or what?
We now watch the Voice regularly as a family (out w/American Idol!) We are by no means ultra conservative, but as parents we do have a responsibility to censor what our children are exposed to & watch on tv.So I beg you Blake pls just tone down the language a bit on screen.You are so much better than that...so humble,kind,talented & hilarious...We all love you BLAKE! Love & Peace to all!
