My ex and me haven't talked in years and it has really been nice.

I haven't talked with my ex since '87 - but what's that got to do with ex-comm ... ? I'm quite happy with the arrangement, btw ...

that's like triple or quaduple entendre'... awesome word play!!

Don`t know what you did to get Excommunicated.

I know what I did to get excommunicated 27 years ago. I married a divorced woman and the according to the "religion" that I was brought up in that was an immediate grounds for excommunication.

Best "NoNo" I ever did.

sorry to ask, but what relegion is this?

He is doing a play on words....ex-communication....he doesn't communicate with his ex and he is happy with it. Not excommunication from a church, even though that is what the word means.

Rainbow, at least Teditis and I got it.

I did the same thing Ed--for me--I should have listened

I like to call it the church of latter day haints. Haints are deep south for ghosts. Even after you break up through divorce you can still think about them. Hence, some of my ghost poetry wherein it I was still trying to communicate with my ex since I never seemed to get the last word in. We had a serious communication problem.

I wouldn't have a problem talking to my ex, if she liked...

I wish her well and appreciate the good times...

Good word play though Roy

It's a new one on me.

Haint


Southern colloquialism def., ghost, apparition, lost soul
On his way back from Mobile my friend was killed on Bloody 98, and now he's just another restless haint.

I have driven that road and got a speeding ticket there once.

Chiefly Southern U.S. var of haunt, originally, but the meaning has since morphed to mean more than a ghost. It can also mean a scary ***** or mean person, usually a woman.
I tried to kill her with kindness, but that haint is just full up with meanness.

I made peace with the ghost and the haunting stopped.

A ghost; a haunt; a spirit.
She was terrified of the haint that kept showing itself to her at midnight.

That one wasn't the ex but my wife who passed. I made peace with her too and the haunting stopped. It is a healing process.

Thanks, Allen.

Roman Catholic

I also knew what rainbow meant, but I also felt that the definition of the word and what it meant should also be mentioned.

I talk to all my ex's - would kinda' like to stop

Well, since you used it here first, can we start callin' you 'The Hainty Man' ... ?

Well, Congrats!

That is OK with me as the Phantom is already taken - the ghost who walks.

I hear that...does that make my former in-laws outlaws??

.comut in essence by making this post indicates you still think about said ex......therefore indicating an unconscious desire to communicate with said ex...like some sort of unresolved issue......saying this if you were truly happy with your very inmaginative word and meaning of your excommunication indicates the exact opposite or you would not of even thought of this post.....

Good question. Kudos. My mother-in-law and me were going to duke it out in words once but her husband got in the way. It surprised me because I thought we were friends. It got to be you and what army in words. It also surprised me that I had her riled so bad that she left her place of business to tear into me. We had already moved out of her house from my wife's old bedroom in their house and it wasn't long before we moved a town away. The peace didn't last long though as my wife invited them over to dinner. I tried to hide in the back room because I knew they were coming but my mother-in-law wouldn't have it because her daughter had prepared her this nice dinner and she wanted me to be there, too. So eventually we moved a state away but then they came down to see us there, too. It was like, man I can't hide anywhere but luckily I got to go to work. Whew. Of course, they came to see me at work because they wanted to know how I was doing. I really think my ex mother-in-law really likes me though because she is convinced that I am as crazy as she is.

I haven't talked to an ex in almost a year. Woohoo.
