I used to tangle with Darloup and then I put him on Ignore. A great improvement.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

kudos on your English. You're better spoken than a lot of Canadians I know. I wouldn't have been able to comment on your apparent 'sloppy Spanish' as I'm no where near being fluent..hehe. Welcome. :)

Thanks for your advise, and a little more if you will, any bills that she makes during marriage, am I obligated to pay them or is she responsible for half of the bills?

She has had my debit card the whole time and has handled all the money. So if I were to file today and get divorced in a month ( never that fast) she would only be given the one more month? And since I am not signed on anything, she would have to pay the bills in her name?

Catamd, I figured I would write this on your page as the myth or reality thread was getting out of control. I believe when most people think of plastic surgeons, they only think of things like botox, facelifts, tummy tucks and similar procedures. They dont consider burn patients or people who have had their face disfigured. I live in the US and very recently we have had our first face transplant and the lady's story is horrifying. She was shot in the face by a shotgun and somehow survived. Seeing a picture of her face or what was left of it was a very sobering sight. People shunned her, kids were afraid of her but she is well on her way to becoming "human" again. The surgeons who did this work really gave her a new beginning in life. I can very much appreciate what you do for a living and am sure you have touched many lives.

Thank You Eversomuch, and then some

Thanks but I really would like to try to work things out. My wife had a bad motorcycle accident when she was a teenager and was in a coma for a few days and I think that alot of this may be a result but I still want to cover my bases. The day I posted, she went out and bought me a new motorcycle so I could "get out more". Not the actions of a "gold digger" since she must know the law as well, and knows she is responsible. I just don't know, " for better or worse" and I guess this is the latter. Anyway thank you alot for you input and if you ever get up Cucuta way give me a shout.

Hey Catamd, thanks for writing back. You sound like you are very passionate about your job. I can imagine you get a great feeling making such a huge difference in people's lives. I find it funny when people say you cant change the world. I have always disagreed with this and feel you can change the world -just not overnight. It seems to me that is what you are doing -one patient at a time and really impacting their lives for the better. When I did architectural design for clients, I tried to provide the best possible value for my clients and as can happen in any industry, there were mistakes. Well, if I made a design mistake, a rich person might have to spend more money on the project -no big deal. When plastic surgeons make a mistake, there can be real big problems. Do you do find youself a bit nervous before doing a serious procedure and if so, do you have anything you do to get you into the mindset you need to perform that surgery? I used to do endurance mountain bike races and had a tradition I practiced before every bike race. I would listen to some Miles Davis and try to relax before the start which is a very hard thing to do. I would have some songs in my head for the duration of the race and I feel this truly helped me as I felt inspired to do better.

Thank You Eversomuch, and then some

Cata, in regards to your preparation H for wrinkles comment, i know a competitive body builder, and every time before a competition he rubs his abs down with it, along with purposely dehydrating himself for a day or two prior, this brings out the muscle definition much more. it seems to be common practice in the sport. so perhaps the wrinkle thing does have some truth to it.

Hey Cata, Thanks for writing and I have to say that you are a very cool lady. I am glad to hear music is a big part of your life as it enriches our existence for sure. To say a prayer before you perform a surgery really shows you are sincere about what you provide for your patients. Reading that made me smile. What kind of music do you like to listen to -any favorites?

I listen to and read a lot about music and I mostly love jazz. Right now, I have Miles Davis' kind of blue on and that album changed my life. Blue in Green is probably my most favorite song. Very sad, but the emotion just pours out of his horn. If you havent heard of this album and do like jazz (I cant recommend this work of art enough) you will love this performance. If you do have this, then you probably know how good this one is. Miles didnt write the music for the other musicians, but rather brought in charts which led to improvising and better communication among the players -all done just a few hours before they went into the studio.

By the way, I am very envious of what you do for a living. Not really sure I could ever do a job like that, but am glad you do and love it -the world needs people like you. At 41 I am still not sure what I want to do when I grow up as I am so burned out on Architecture. lol

Thank You Eversomuch, and then some

Thanks FreakyG! I love all kinds of music. It depends on the mood I am in, but it always cheers me up and helps me enjoy my job!
I love Amy Winehouse, Coldplay, The Killers, and a lot of american oldies (60s and 50s songs). Colombia also has a great cultural baggage and a lot of genres to choose from, so there is always colombian music in the playlist too!!
Best thing about life is you can make any choice you wish no matter what age you are, and it depends on you if you get your wish or not. I have a lot of friends who have decided to change their life radically and they're not exactly teenagers...so follow your dreams and become whatever you want to be when you grow up! Lol!

OK Catamd, tranquila vaya y disfrute sus vacaciones para que cuando regrese esta llena de ese vigor!
La estaremos esperando. Y preparese para los subjectos del circo que entre mas saben que eres sobresaliente en tus conocimientos mas atacan y especialmente los que parecen que no atacan de frente lo hace detras de las escenas.

Un abrazo,
Monpirri
