Rick hasn’t changed in 22 years.

Oh, by the way…

I doubt if she will comment on her new boy friend.

I don’t understand why Mike would invite his ex-MIL to his second wedding.

I mean, it’s not as if they were good friends and Mike told Joanie that he divorced her daughter!!

Lifelong friends. Mike & Mark picked up Joanie on a road trip when she was running away from her first husband; she lived at Walden for some time.

Ahhhhhhh, communication skills. People should have them.

I’ve determined that marriage is the #1 risk factor in all divorces. Why chance it?

Parents are always the last to know, thank God.

Joanie and JJ will next find out that there is now a North and a South Korea.

Mike. Only one year after your divorce? Man, that reeks of desperation!

I’m guessing she knew they were separated but not divorced because two days ago she seemed relieved that they were ‘renewing their vows" She probably thought that meant they’d patched things up. She just didn’t know about the divorce bit.
