Sorry Kiwi, I think he hung the moon. He has yet to disappoint me with his intellect. And his wit is a very rare quality. so is Todd's even if he is changing the subject to black mambas instead of rattlesnakes.

And thanks for believing me. Pio has the situation summed up correctly. Except I really do love my H and I want to improve things for both him and me.

I am sorry if i have depressed both Pio and Todd. I really had no intention of doing that. I will not say anything more about my situation or feelings.

LOL, Luna go back a couple of pages.

That's why I've arranged for the nice young man "Butch" to be Todd's nursemaid.

Butch was not hired BTW.

I found a nurse and would post her picture but I think it is against the forum rules so rather than risk getting banned from my fourth online community, I will keep the pic to myself.

Working on a maid now. Properly called a housekeeper I am told by the service.

That sort of anthormorphising makes me barf.


It would make me barf also if I knew what it was.

Besides, he's the one who starting flirting...

...it takes two to tango...

Just for the record, I am totally OK with Stef flirting - I WANT her Husband to want her and flirt with her. Stef's Plan A is kicking [censored]


Thanks BigK!!! ((((((BigK)))))) I'm getting there.

So, this has been an interesting day/evening in the home of TKO...

FC: I don't know if you're still around, but if you don't believe in the principles of MB and aren't going to follow it or the advice given, why are you here??? I asked you that earlier and 2much posted to you almost the exact same thing that I did earlier today.

You can't really help any of us if you don't believe in what we believe in or in what we're doing or at least done it! BigK is right, and it took me awhile to follow the advice I was given, but at the same time, I know that if I don't, I'm not going to be harassed or shunned or called any kind of name. I'm still going to be supported because we're all friends here and that's what friends do.
We all have our reasons for following or not following advice, but, again, as I also pointed out earlier (as did KiwiJ), this is our safe place. I love TKO and everyone here, but today was not a safe place for us. It was a stressful and not-so-safe place today and we all have more than enough of that in our "real" lives to go around. I'm sorry if you felt you were attacked today, but everyone gave you awesome advice and all you wanted to do was make up excuses as to why you couldn't/wouldn't follow it. As far as not asking for advice goes, you asked for it when you started posting. We're not here to "mind our own business".

I think the ones who are recovered should be the ones to stick around and give us "newbies" the advice we need to get through this. Obviously what they did worked, and I think it's awesome they stuck around to share what works. This would have been a he!! of a lot harder to go through without this forum here for me. This is just my take on this, and I hope other posters will back me up, or tell me if I'm wrong. I don't mean any disrespect and I'm sorry for you if you're going to take it as such.

Stef, you are maturing before our very eyes.

It's wonderful to see. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

He'll be back with his tongue hanging out before you know it Stef.

Please trust us on this. Part of it is MB principles, part of it is us just being really old.

Giving in now to SF would be the WORST thing you could do. Be the woman who he has to fight for.

I agree with BigK, flirting is fine. Leave him wanting more.

Did I use that big word to impress or am I just smart?


Don't really know. You sure can't spell it if that is any hint...

Sorry to disappoint you FC but you have not influenced me one way or the other. I actually believe you are more typical of a WW/FWW. ToddAC and I argue this a lot - way before we ever heard of you.

Here it is correctly.

anthropomorphize


I'm confused. Shouldn't that be "anthropomorphise" with an "s"? Or do ypu people just pick and choose what words to change? Very confusing to the rest of us who actually speak English.

FC is yet to totally show her true colours possibly. When she starts praising OM/OW we will know if she is a new incarnation of a old poster with multiple ID's. Like I said, time will tell.
