Poor Jen - off by herself paddling on a surfboard while David, Courteney and their little kiddie share family-time in a boat. Coulda been you Jen - if only you'd been able to hold on to Brad. Or Vince. Or any man long enough for their seed to take root in that barren, toxic cavern you call a womb. We can already see your future Jen - you're that nice older, childless lady who doesn't bother coloring her gray hair anymore (because there's no one to look young for), who's always out walking her dogs, and stops off at the sidewalk cafe to shoot the breeze with whoever happens to be sitting there. She plays a lot of solitaire, this lady, and spends her weekends antiquing with her only pal, the old queen who lives next door to her at the retirement home. She cooks big pans of vegetarian lasagna, and brings it over to the old queen's room, and they eat lasagna and drink wine and watch Greta Garbo movies. Then the old lady takes her pan home and scrubs it, and puts on her nightgown and crawls into bed, and stares out the window at the lights which remind her mysteriously of the past...

Sigh. The life you describes sounds pretty good to me. I need an old queen next door. Wanna relocate, Melvin?

Not if there are going to be monster crickets.

She does have a great body, though. Wonder which one Brad would prefer these days... I would go with Jennifer's athelitic build over a pile of bones any day.

Art imitates life. This sounds like a Life Time movie on television. I'll check the TV guide to see what time. I imagine that Sissy Spacek was probably in it. Early 1980's.

Wow. What the hell has JA ever done to you, crabbie? Geez.

^ I thought it was a fine piece of writing myself. 'The Story of Poor Jen.' I did not note any hostility in Crabbie's poignant discription of Poor Jen's almost life. I kind of got into it, imagining her reading her book by the light of a dim antique lamp late at night, with the sound of monster crickets chirping in the background.....

Whoever wrote this post needs to get a life and stop spouting this nasty bile online! Jen's a class act and does not tell everyone and their mothers about her sex life and personal matters. I would bet the farm that she is seeing a number of men. Nothing wrong with that, she's a single woman. I know MANY men who would give their right arms to date her. Whether you like it or not, she is very genuine, and obviously a very GOOD friend. Having been burned myself by a cheating husband, I can understand her caution regarding men. Whoever you are who wrote this article, you really need to get some help to get over all that hatred!
