[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 323206, member: 7083"] What a weird night. And I know it's not just the pain medications... Ex called and I talked to him about the insurance and the $450 bill that easy child doesn't have the money for. It went well, which was surprising, but really he only has himself to blame for this one. He asked for the contact information for the therapist, which I gave to him and then had to explain how easy child will have to let them know he will be calling so they will talk to him. He didn't seem to understand that they won't just tell him about the bill. It gets better. Just wait. I told him he would be talking to C. He then asks......wait for it.... "Is she white or black?" *blink* Me: "Why does that matter?" Ex: "It does matter on how you handle things. See, I think these things through." (Real genius...he's thinking things through. OMG) Ex: "It's not like I'm not going to talk to her if she's black, it's just better to know in advance what you're dealing with. I think these things through." (there's that statement again...I think I was supposed to be impressed) *blink* Me: "She's white." I SHOULD have told him that she's black AND Muslim just to see how much of an [donkey] he makes of himself. I mean, can you believe this??? I've known the man for 21 years and I'm just :stopglass: Just wow. Then...he just kept talking to me. About politics - of which we are complete opposites - about my health - and he showed compassion, but brought up the great health care debate. After an hour, I told him if he still wanted to talk to me he was going to have to call me on the house phone cause easy child's cell phone was killing my neck. And he did. And he kept going. And saying things like, "I think we agree on more than either of us would admit." I just said, "Ok", in that I'll just say what you want to hear so you'll shut up kinda way. In a way, I should feel guilty cause it's like debating with a 5 year old. The playing field is just so uneven. But, he's such a jerk, and a bigot, that I can't make myself feel guilty for having proved yet again that.....well.....that his IQ is lower than mine. A lot. You know, I don't get out much. I have to get my entertainment somewhere. Then he said we will talk again soon. (Why???) And that if I need anything to let him know. Somethin's fishy. So, I asked easy child how his dad and step-mom were doing. I'd been down this road before with him...I'm not stoopit. Thank goodness for caller ID. OMG. Is she white or black? I've never even had that thought. I just can't wrap my mind around it. I am sooooooooooooooooooooo glad I raised easy child 600 miles away from that man. [/QUOTE]
