Pio, in a way it's a pity she doesn't move to the North of England and see what pool boy's real life is like. Wouldn't THAT be an eye opener.

Todd, if you found Krypton I'm sure you'd find a way of getting there.

My sister was hospitalised overnight, so I'm taking the day off from work because I'll probably be needed. They live on an island and she's here in hospital on the mainland without a car and my mother, who is 77, did all the running around last night. I've never forgiven my S for not lifting a finger for me or my family when I had severe pneumonia when the children were small but I've learned here that holding grudges is NOT a good thing and it's time to let it go.

Jen,

Sorry to hear about your sis. You'll also be helping your Mom. Perhaps your sis will learn by your example.

Yes, Todd, I do mainly want to help my mother but I do want to help my sis. We're close, but only if we don't spend too much time together LOL.

I have wanted to be Superman since I was six years old. I used to mix concoctions that were sure to give me his powers. I probably mixed and drank some things I shouldn't have. I even squirted a tiny bit of my Dad's lighter fluid into the mix. Figured that would give me the heat breath.

I found a large piece of red cellophane one day and held it up to convert the Sun's rays from yellow to red. Figured that would do the trick. As you probably guessed, it made no difference. I jumped off our porch trying to fly and landed squarely on my head. Hmm.... maybe that explains things?

Today, in adulthood, I have abandoned all those childish attempts. Today, I want to go to Krypton. It's the mature goal to have if you want to be Superman.

Let's just remember that it is very likely that not all of what gemela posted was the absolute truth. It was rewritten truth. It was part of her affair - the fog. Gemela has NEVER asked me to forgive her. She has said a few times she was sorry. She has NEVER said what she is sorry for. Just "I'm sorry". Is she sorry she had the A? Is she sorry she got caught? Is she sorry OM is not still in town? I have no idea what she is sorry about.

I am not thinking about us right now. The DDs are in fairly good shape at the moment and I want it to stay that way. Let gemela and I have a vacation. She can spend some time with her real family and maybe get her thoughts together and decide what she wants. If she wants to come back will I let her? Of course. I will not let my pride hurt my children.

I will clarify another thing. I do not mind imperfection. I admire quality. Perfection, on this plane, does not exist. Iranian carpets come close but they always drop one stitch so that they won't be perfect. I love quality and I strive for it. Read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

I hate mediocrity. I don't mind people doing mediocre work if they are doing it to the best of their ability. I hate people who are capable of more and do just enough. Imagine Rembrandt splashing some paint on a canvas and saying "well my work is done - looks like it's Miller time".

If someone offends me accidentally, I don't care. If they do it intentionally, I get mad. I am really a pretty easy going person as long as people are polite. I hope that makes sense.

My friend, this is an outstanding point. Several who read G's posts assumed she was perfectly truthful and forthcoming. We talk about WS fog all the time but G was exhonerated from the fog early on.

Just to get the thread back on topic, I hope you realize that I am doing my best work in my attempts to become Superman. Been at it since the age of six.

Wasn't there a Superwoman? Do you think she ever got PMS?

I can't speak for her thread but I can speak about some emails and chats that gemela had. She spent a great deal of time looking for enablers. There was the time she told a friend we had not had SF in months. We had it the day before she wrote that. Her reply was that she did not consider it SF because it was with me and not OM. Okay.

If I was Superwoman I'd make sure one of my superpowers was not to get PMS.

BTW, that wasn't very funny.

There seems to be a universal law that enablers do not believe there are two sides to every story. I suppose that is what makes them enablers. If they could see the other side, they might accidentally inject some rational thought into the situation.

I just love that men can put down women and 30 year's of fighting for womens' rightful place in the world in one simple smart a** sentence.

No one enabled my A. Everyone who knew about it, hated it with a passion. They thought I was a stupid fool and were planning to get together as a group to tell Rob.

I said gemela looked for enablers. I didn't say she found them. That is why she made up some of the things she did - to try to persuade them. I did read in her thread she had never climaxed until she met OM. I can count on one hand the times she has NOT climaxed with me from the beginning until now. She is a gifted liar but not THAT gifted.

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

That's right. I may have given up on winning the lottery; the odds are too great. But not on being Superman!
