Is it tacky to register for a divorce?

[malta blue]

:rofl:

My co-worker suggested I register at Target for a divorce so that I can get new sheets, towels, etc. - nothing that has touched him. Plus, he got rid all of my wine glasses because they were not up to his standards, so now I have no glasses *gasp, the horror*

How tacky is it?

1. Funny though

:evilgrin:

[malta blue]

13. If only our economy was not in crisis

:hi:

[mcctatas]

2. I think it's awesome!

make sure you register for slinky liengerie while you're at it;)

[malta blue]

5. LOL

:spray::spray:

omigoddess.....

I burned all the slutty stuff he bought me, after I had returned it to him with a note that said "pay it forward". He tossed it back in my stuff, then I burned it in my firepit and went to yoga class.

Oooom.

[dropkickpa]

3. Sounds like fun!!

I'd be much more likely to buy a friend a gift for that than a wedding.

[malta blue]

6. sounds like I may be on to something....

Although, to be perfectly honest, I would hate to ask my friends to buy me anything at this point. We are all so strapped for cash between the economy and raising our kids.

Maybe I will make a holiday wishlist or something for my family...

4. Oh boy does that sound like an excellent idea!

of course I may not be a good person to judge. If you ever watched Seinfeld and saw the episode where George is complaining about paying for wine and cake to bring to a dinner party I kinda agreed with his argument that people would appreciate Pepsi and ho-ho's more anyway. :shrug: And I like wine and cake but I don't think I'm a good person to measure level of tackyness.

[malta blue]

7. Pepsi and Ho-Ho's are fine with me too.

:hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. No more tacky than registering for a wedding. Might as well go for it!

[malta blue]

9. YAY, I have validation from Rabrrrr everyone....please

view my registry at....

:rofl:

Thanks :hi:

[vard28]

10. What a cool idea!

I've never thought of that! :party:

[malta blue]

14. Me neither.

I know I am going to have a dinner party in the next few weeks.....I sure am going to need some new glasses :evilgrin:

[blueraven95]

11. hey, I'll happily pitch in for a new set of sheets

or glasses...

just because he's pissed me off.

:hi:

[malta blue]

12. *hug*

:hug::hug:

You are so sweet, but really, I don't think I would ever REALLY do it. Although, I do plan on having a nice dinner party with some friends and drinking the 3 liter bottle of wine that we received as a wedding gift without him. He seemed rather disappointed that I said yes when he asked if I wanted it :evilgrin:

It was a gift from his boss and it is super yummy.

[blueraven95]

20. well, it would be only a little tacky, after all

and it makes more sense, these days, then to register for a wedding, in some ways.


I think the dinner party/wine idea sounds like a good idea. Has he moved out yet?

[malta blue]

23. He takes possession of his new apartment today

and is leaving the house on Sunday. His movers are coming on Tuesday.

[blueraven95]

27. Thank goodness!

I had seen that he wasn't going to leave until Tuesday, and that felt ridiculous to me. More than 2 weeks after asking for a divorce is really stretching it.

Hang in there, we're all pulling for you! :hug:

[malta blue]

28. Thank you

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

15. Question:

I'm not sure how serious your suggestion is, but I'm wondering if that might be perceived as celebrating the divorce. You might need to be careful about that where your divorce is concerned. I dunno... never really heard of anybody doing that.

[malta blue]

17. It is mostly in jest my friend, but I will have you know

that he has listed himself as happily divorced on his myspace and is selling himself as a more to love body type. He is surely out there trolling for the next sucker to buy his wares.

:rofl:

[vard28]

32. I know LOTS of people

who have had parties celebrating divorces. They've been loads of fun! :party:

[LaydeeBug]

16. I once attended a "The Bitch Took All The Christmas Ornaments" Holiday Party

Admission was an ornament for the tree.

It was a hoot. So not ONLY do I think you should register, I think you should throw yourself an "I lost 180 lbs" (or however much he weighed) party.

Mention the wine glasses. In fact, maybe THAT could be the theme. "Wine-Oh Be Mine-Oh" Party.

:woohoo:

[malta blue]

18. I like that idea!

Admission is a nice glass.

I have a really nice bottle to share with my guests :toast:

[lost-in-nj]

19. OMG

That sounds great!!!!

:rofl:

I am thinking about getting one of these

its a DIVORCE RING!!!!! :*

:hug: :hi:


lost

[malta blue]

24. I like that ring!

:hug:

21. My mother had a divorce party...

Including a cake where someone took a bride+groom wedding topper and cut it in half...

[malta blue]

25. that is so funny!

We didn't have a cake topper. Maybe I could just use a caribou barbie doll :rofl:

[jobycom]

22. Holy Hell, not only funny, but marketable! You may be on to something!

BRILLIANT!!

[malta blue]

26. Marketable you say?

hmmmm....

:toast:

[Sentath]

36. Oh heck yeah

Just look at the response on this thread.

[malta blue]

37. Now I must decide HOW to market this idea....

And BTW - I don't think we have ever met so :hi:

[zanne]

29. I want to register out of poverty.

I'd like some friends to throw me a "poverty shower" so I can get some stuff I need. I have no pride.

[malta blue]

33. Go for it. Have an "economic crisis" party!

:party:

[Gormy Cuss]

30. Okay, I'm sending you this link.

I wasn't sure that you were ready for divorce humor yet, but I guess that you are. ;)

31. omg - that is a great website!

Thanks so much :pals:

I think I may order something for myself just for giggles.

I am so amused because of his myspace page right now -- he is advertising and trolling already :rofl:

On edit:

This cracked me up:

[amitten]

34. I say do it. And I think people will be happy to give gifts. n/t

[malta blue]

35. I may be setting myself up for goodies

:D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

38. Sounds like a good idea...

It's very practical, since the purchase of new items is often required. And why not celebrate moving on instead of dwelling on unfulfilled wishes?

At the same time, maybe you could emphasize to your friends that used items are as welcome as new ones...

Go for it!
