In reply to SVreX:
I agree with this sentiment. My two main ex's are somewhat polar opposites.
My more recent one, who I was with for 11 years, I still see occasionally as we still have common friends. I will likely see her this weekend. We will be cordial and might even have a few conversations and laughs. I was one of the first people she told when she ordered her Launch Edition ND. While it is extremely unlikely we'll ever get back together again, I am sure she knows that if she really needed something, I will do whatever I can.
My other ex I dated for less than a year over 25 years ago. I am still friends with her brother. When I'm at his house and she's there, she won't be in the same room with me. Whatever. Her loss. Life's too short to hold grudges and be angry for that long.
My guess would be something like, "Hey, my mother died last night. I'm not looking for any sympathy, but I thought you might want to know."
Or the Miata hard top thing...
I don't have any ex wives and only a couple ex GF's. I would call either of them back, but both partings were mutually agreed upon, so there isn't any baggage there. My decision matrix would be easy: No baggage - call back. Baggage - leave it alone. Of course, the needs of the GRM forum is kind of an "x factor" (pun intended)
Totally unrelated aside: One of my ex GF's ended up in the jury pool on a drunk driving case I was trying. During voir dire I figured out she was crazier than I remembered.

Don't even need to call her back. Just make up a really wild story and post it up. Good enough for this gallery!
We just want closure so we can move on.
Oh for berkeleys sake. Post her number and I'll call and find out for you.

That's a great idea! I even know a great thread that you could get some inspiration from....
We need closure!
I'm on the edge of my seat. Closure. PLEASE . . .

Her random friend Kim passed away. The one I hadn't seen in 20 years, mentioned in the initial post.
And no Miata hardtop. Sorry.

You should have made up a story, it may have been more entertaining.

Lost his mind maybe, what the duece? Why such a wide wheel for that tire?
15" wheel, tall sidewall. Will have pretty progressive breakaway. At least that's the theory im going with.

I had a very difficult divorce, but it was over 10 years ago. The only thing of consequence my ex-wife could tell me was that either of her parents or her kid had died. They were nice people.
Then again, she probably wouldn't tell me, and if I never found out, I wouldn't feel bad about that, either.
I most certainly wouldn't respond if she attempted to contact me.

berkeley Geraldo Rivera. They hyped the hell out of it and a bunch of us talked our parents into letting us watch it and stay over at my friend's house. We sat through two hours of his rambling to find an empty berkeleying room. The only upside was finding out that his father was a devoted collector of Oui magazine. It was an eye opener to a young boy.
In reply to Wall-e: Kids today will never understand the lengths we went to to find naked pictures of girls back in the day. A ratty old Playboy was gold and guarded like the Crown Jewels.
I'm just glad I know, not knowing was bothering me way more than I'd like to admit!
Can you call and see if maybe Kim has a Miata hardtop? Well, had a Miata hardtop?
While I'm late to the party here.....I'm of a mind that exes are the turds of life. Doesn't matter how good the meal/relationship was, you shouldn't carry around the turd/ex around in your life...your ex is the after effect of your past life.
I've been called an shiny happy person because of that view though lol
