You should buy a smelter, and turn their sldgehammer into a plow for your garden. If that doesn't work for you, then you can always use their words as manure. Either way, your garden wins.

As a divorcee, I can relate.

I could use a cyber hug.
I've been getting (figuratively) beaten down far too much of recent.

I'll give you a cyber hug, Cin. You just can't get mad at me when you inevitably get turned on by my amazing body. 
In all seriousness, I hope things get better.

Thanks goodness for overly sarcastic women who've been there before...I sometimes wish I had this inked on my wrist so I'd always remember:
“By the time you swear you're his,
Shivering and sighing.
And he vows his passion is,
Infinite, undying.
Lady make note of this --
One of you is lying.”

Thanks. I just need to learn to not believe people's bullshit when they've proved time and again to be...well...bullshitting.

Unfortunately, that tends to happen to nice people.
