probably both sides are happy to be apart for awhile.

Maybe now they’ll record their followup to “Love Will Keep Us Together”, a cover of Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart.”

(Yes, I know, but did you know that they were once part of the Beach Boys touring band. Blondie Chapin was there too, later and recently with the Lolling Scones.)
Same here. With a budget, it could have had a decent run.
I remember the death stares I got at work from some people back in the '70s when I voiced my opinion that "Muskrat Love" might be the sappiest song ever written.
I hated even the “America” version of the song.
or pat mccurdy’s “imagine a picture of me and you (only you’re not in it)”

I'm not in Arizona but am an estate and tax attorney and can say that there is virtually no set of circumstances where a couple will do better divorced than married from a legal and tax perspective. Married is always better for quite a few reasons.
I remember doing some training one time for my job. As I was sitting in the training room, in walked an elderly woman limping along on a cane. She was in her mid-sixties and could barely hobble along. She could obviously be in retirement, so one of the other trainees asked her why she was still working. She allowed that her husband had retired before she had, and there was no way she was going to around him 24/7. She preferred being in pain at work than being around her "dear" hubby.
TMZ reports that Dragon told them “”I don’t know why she filed. I gotta figure it out for myself first.” He also told them that they are still living in the same house together.

The National Enquirer story quotes a friend as saying that their marriage started to deteriorate with Dragon’s illness. It was announced in 2009 on the couple’s website that Daryl was fighting Parkinson’s Disease.
Very Nice they look great. I think I sent you a private message by mistake bigbob... sorry
Maybe he decided to dispense with the whole muskrat charade and is coming out as a chipmunk.
In all seriousness, I thought they got divorced 30 years ago. I thought it was news and everything...
I just watched a few minutes of that interview. I must say that she seems a bit overbearing. Perhaps he didn't talk much because he couldn't get a word in edgewise?
I’ve got a more than passing understanding of estate laws myself, but I also know they vary greatly from state to state. I didn’t know if Arizona had some quirks that could impact this situation.
I heard they not getting divorced because their marriage is messed up but because of Obamacare and health insurance. Any confirm this?
If that’s the case, doesn’t that make this that much worse? In sickness and in health, etc? Why abandon him now?
In the 70s, my cousin, who was an Army Captain, his name Tom Parker, had the perfect pickup line, that he claimed worked every time: “Hi babe, I’m a captain, howdya like to be my Tennille?” And yes, he eventually made it to Colonel.
