Fighting alone:

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> DipiT THe author of that book is Harville Hendrix; HOw to get the love you want. It is freaky, because I just drove over an hour both ways to pick it up last night. WH's C recommended it to him. LMAO. Especially as it is meant for couples and he is insisting that he will not EVER reconcile. MAybe that is why he was so testy when I called him last night to say I was getting the book ,too. He was reading it already. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Yep, I know. I read the whole book. At the end, I was just crawled up in a ball, CRYING MY EYES OUT. Because, welllllll, it was so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so true. Seriously. In a creepy. no f'in way, kinda way. And I could see how eyechart (my name for ex) was like my Dad, and how I was so much like his Mom. Seriously. SCARRRRRRRRRRY!!!!! Keep reading it. I really found it to be very insightful, very helpful reading to know myself a little better.

And so, what the hell does one do with that knowledge? Go for people you are NOT attracted to???? Prolly have a better chance of having a lasting, long term relationship with them!!!! I fear repeating patterns in my current, post divorce relationships, and, I do not want to do that.

And Robby, you did not get my idiot joke. "resident" "homeless person." That is a oxymoron, isn't it? Like, "jumbo" "shrimp?" Or is it onomatapeia.

Speaking of 'peia...where is the restroom attendant. I gottttttttttta go.

Dobie, reading your idiot moments reminded me of mine, too.

Another club? HHMM,? SHould I be worried? Actually I was stone cold sober. Was honestly there to dance. Love to dance. Anyway someone asked me to dance,. SO, this handsome hunk leads the way towards the dance floor. On the way there are about 4 or 5 shallow steps with the lights built in so you can see the stairs in the dark club. Alll the way down the stairs and crowded around the bottom are about 30 or 40 men. With me so far? There I am jammin' to the beat and strolling oh so coolly down the stairs. Doing my blonde hair flip and doing the flirty thing. However, the last stair had no lights <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

I went flying forwards in a VERY crowded club. It felt like slow motion, because at the same time I'm thinking OMG this can't be happening. I CAN'T be falling on my face! I was grabbing at all these male bodies trying to stop from hitting the deck. It didn't work! I landed on my hands and knees in front of this huge group of men who just stared as I jumped up and scurried onto the dance floor.

One problem, I was in such agony that I was nauseous and seeing stars. My foot ached so bad. I actually left the club ( which was upstairs) and walked home 5 blocks away. Which was uphill. (Very Frisco like hills) Whimpering all the way and went to bed. Woke up the next day and didn't recognize my foot. I couldn't see my toes at all! And my foot up to past my ankle was black! I had broken my foot across the top. OWW. I knew it hurt.

But, after I got a cast on, my male friends carried me up the stairs the next night so I could dance again. (SHould I say that the cast was plaster and after dancing on it, the next day they had to saw it off and put on a fibreglass one.

OMG, I totally forgot what happened when I went to the hospital for get the cast replaced. NOw I am laughing. It was actually the hospital where my DD25 was born.

Just before she was born, my 1st husband was just putting on the 7th and last coat of varnish on the floor. ANd then he ran down the stairs to rinse out the brush. THen ran back up the stairs to give it a last smooth over. WHen he ran up the stairs I hear this roar and a string of swear words that you would believe.

So, I pop my head and look up the stairs. At the same time I hear F#$ck. Hubby slams the roller attached to the broomstick on the railing. Well, the roller snapped off and split my head open. NOt funny. Turned out my cat sauntered from one end of the room to the window and back with grass and dirt on his paws and left indentation in the still wet varnish. So, I am rushed ot the hospital with a very bloody headwound. THe hospital immediately put me in a wheelshair and tried to get me to maternity. UH DUH! I am bleeding. SO then I had to register and tell them my husband hit a roller on a railing and it hit me in the head. THey weren't listening the wrote </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">9 month Pregant MRs XXX hit herself on the head with a roller</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">WTH? Picture that. ME standing there banging my head repeatedly with a paint roller.

Okay that's the background. So, as the admitting clerk is taking all my info I was chatting and telling them this story of the paint roller. and how they got the story wrong. THen this woman asks"How did you break your ankle?" I very flippantly said "Oh, I was break dancing" And then laughed and said I stepped off a poorly lit stair. Well, I am sure you guessed it. THey wrote </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Ms. XX broke her ankle while break dancing </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">"

Okay, break dancing might have happened but honestly, I was over 30 at the time and sure as heck don't look like a teen break dancer. And of course, they didn't correct either incident. Sheesh.

Yup, as I wrote this, I am a card carrying member of I'ville <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I forget, is it the one with the pants or the skirt on the sign? Ah well, it doesn't matter that much, does it?

My first night here and I've sunk this place to the level of potty humor. I'm kind of proud of myself.

Isn't it nice when the hospital really doesn't listen to what happened?

I worked in medical records and saw a great transcription error. A girl came in with Gyn problems.

"Patient started menaces at the age of 13."

I couldn't decide whether it was a typo or just a more honest term.

Ummmm... Dobie.

Potty humor is not your strong suit, huh?

Perhaps we should coach you on the tacky, class-less ways of referring to going #2.

I prefer to use at work, after an especially tantalizing meal of chili and hot sauce, after doing my "business in the rest room," to muss up my hair, swing open the door, and scream:

Doooooooooooooo NOT (pause for dramatic effect), GO IN THERE!!!!

Dobie, so true. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

And DipiT Is there a restroom attendant? 'Cause it ain't me? I do general clean up and try to keep up with all the dirty glasses. I vote we use disposable ones. Wait a minute. How did I get from Bathroom attendant to dispoables? I mean glasses not diapers. Never mind. I'm blonde. I live in I'ville ALL the time. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Hi, believer: Keep missing you on here.

Booze. Well, I actually decided to treat myself to a real drink rather than a virtual one. I am sipping a Tango Rose - Orange flavoured on ice. But DD is in bed now. When she walked by it must have been those virtual fumes.

How are you? You haven't posted much on how you are lately. Doing Okay?

F-again - Doing fine, thanks. Nothing my WH does upsets me anymore, so not too much to post there, and everything else is A-OK.

Are you recovering from your trauma, or should I say "awakening"?

Welcome, dobie!

Robby...WTF are you talking about crushed ice? Methinks the guy efore you just dumped his soda or something. Sheesh!! (And my preference is the bullseye splash guard. Although if you miss, you're f@#$ed. Can you imagine women having a bullseye strapped to the bowl?!?!? HA!

Oh, while we are on the subject, have ta tell you a story that so impressed me.

Brown and I were on our way to Nassau Coliseum to see Billy Joel. We were stopped in bumper to bumper traffic. Not really anywhere to run out on the side and pee. And we were inching--not completely stopped. Can I tell ya? Brown peed into a 7-11 cup perfectly--no spillage or splashing! (And, she filled a damn 20 ounce cup!!)
