@Josh (can I call you Josh? I will prefix it with Mr. if you like XD) That's a great story! It's funny how Dipshit inadvertently set you up, but also kinda tragic that he couldn't deal with it even after two years. Still, life happens, we move on from situations, mistakes and people, and we become better, and it looks as though your life has improved in eight years since meeting your guy, so kudos to you is all I can say.

You, or the others, can call me Josh! Glad to share & Glad you liked it!

Wow, that IS a weird way to meet the love of your life, lol. No offence meant ofc. Have you ever thought about what might've gone wrong with your Mr. Perfect and your ex? Ever got the thought“what can go wrong with someone so brilliant”?

Alex, WTF is kudos? I see it almost everywhere!! I swear that that word is following me in some weird way!

@E no offense taken! Scot was totally forward and honest about what broke down between them, and even talked openly about his own failings within the relationship. He even spoke of some of them in front of Dipshit and was never refuted. I cant judge what may have taken place between them, but I can say that even with the mistakes he has made in our relationship (and there was a big one) he has been honest with me and treated me well. So, I forgive him his mistakes as he has forgiven me mine. I am not perfect and would be disappointed if I found him to be truly so!

Kudos is a mispronunciation of the Greek word Kydos. As a person of Greek heritage I am told that it means "he whom is known" and is a way of stating that a person has earned recognition for their actions or statements. These days it seems to have entered the English language as slang for "good job".

Sorry to trample on Alex but that is one of the many useless bits of trivia I have that I rarely get to share! LOL

Thanks you for explaining. So you are part greek huh? Hmmm....

It wasn't totally useless. You got to use it on us.

Hello all, my name is Wolfgang. I've been poking around here for a little bit and it's time to introduce myself. I'm 27 living in the suburbs of Cincinnati, working in a machine shop as quality control person. I love cars, camping away from civilization, and reading good stories.

Hi Wolfgang, welcome to the forum!

Hello Wolfgang, its a pleasure to see you posting here! Welcome to the forum.

Wolfgang is my middle name, I have trouble pronouncing my first name and so most people I meet therefore I don't go by it.

Work has been very slow lately for me so I took off often the last few weeks to finish my garage.

Thanks everyone who welcomed me. I kinda know everyone a little from what I've read here.
