...Divorce

In America over 50% of marriages end in divorce, that is a conservative estimate also. Where one ends another begins. Today the papers were signed and sealed and will probably never be seen by the public ever. I am talking about the Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren divorce. They were married in 2004 and now it is over. Of course we all know about the November morning car crash that started this all, well it started it all for us. Tiger allegedly had multiple affairs with up to 19 women. No one knows the final details of the divorce because Elin swore not to say a word, that is in the divorce somewhere. Some report that she could get up to $750 million, which is NOT true, at least I doubt it is, it just would not make sense. Some say it would be more like $100 million, which sounds about right. They will share custody of their 2 children ages 3 and 1, and the rest will be seen. I am sure they are both sad that it had to come to this but now that it is over I guess they are happy to start their new lives. Elin can do whatever she wants now, and Tiger can do whomever he wants and not feel guilty about it. Maybe his golf game will get better, it should.

Now with one divorce over another has just started. After 60 years of marriage, the couple that people thought were already divorced are finally getting one. Joe and Katherine Jackson have decided to end their marriage...WHY? They separated 5 years ago, living in different homes and living different lives. She is 80 and he is 81, not many people are going to be knocking at either of their doors asking for a date, but I doubt that is why this is happening. Katherine did not want to file because of her religious beliefs as a Jehovah's Witness, but after the death of their son Michael Jackson Joe blamed Katherine for his death, that was the last straw. If you have read anything about the Jacksons then you know all about Joe Jackson and his past with the children and his wife. Most people already thought they were divorced. I remember during the Michael Jackson death and funeral coverage many reporters were shocked to find out hat they were still married. But now it is coming to an end. I guess this just shows that you are never too old to do anything. I am giving this all a Digit Up. I would usually give this news a Digit Down but in these 2 cases I think they all would do better not being with each other, although Joe and Katherine only had to stay with each other for a few more years and then...well you know...death is coming soon for one of them.
