That's a good tactic, chris. I'm glad it worked for you. I think I'd be better at it if I could afford to replace whatever he takes.

As it is, whatever WH takes, I've lost and there is just empty space.

I'd love to hand things over and be able to replace it with something new or better.

Yeah, your response to me wasn't quite what I expected from you.


HEY!!! You don't have EXPECTATIONS of me do you? I don't think we are supposed to have expectations of other people, isn't that right? Hmmm......

I suspect that you and I have the same reaction to be Told what to do.


I don't know what you're talking about. (insert ANGEL icon here)

I just follow along and do what I'm told. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hi Sdguy...Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you. I obviously have no advice to give because I can't seem to get Plan B right. Wanted to tell you I got an appt with Jennifer this week. I'm looking forward to it and getting some personaql advice on my situation. Got the idea from you. Thanks!!!!

Heh. I was posting over on your thread while you were here.

Jennifer is great. I'll dig up what she told me about triggers. It's buried somewhere in my thread. It's why I have Remember to breathe in my sig line.

Oh, you saw that, did you? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

ETA: I thought that one might be worth at least a *snort* from BR if she happens to stray back.

Um, yeah. And I took at as a coax (challenge?) to "do the right thing" and post a goodbye myself.

Nice nudge.

Nice nudge.

It was really more about trying to tweak BR. I'm not sure why, but I really enjoy that. I'll miss it.

Of course, I like teasing you, too. It's fun stuff (so long as BR isn't watching us too closely with those darn eyes in the back of her head).

Did you say something, Sis? You're going to heave to speak into the earhorn. You young sassy whippersnappers.

Say, Sis, send me an email if you're so inclined. sdguy0038@yahoo.com I've got some really good dirt on Fox that I don't want her to see.

Looks like I've missed yet another exciting day in the life of SCQ! What a maroon!

Anywho, sounds like you are getting some good advice. I like Chrisner's slant; start anew. Some of those ornaments that you want to keep could just be lovely little shiny, dangling TRIGGERS for you. Meh, to each his own.

Oh, and another friendly reminder, old man, 2012.

Sheesh, the rampant age discrimination. I may have to complain to the moderators and get this thread locked. Chrisner (way older than me), how can you tolerate this kind of abuse?

The twinge in my shoulder has now gone chronic. It started as an interesting muscle tweak maybe six weeks ago. Now it hurts most of the time. I'm wondering whether I did something to my rotator cuff throwing fly balls to DD8. I skipped yoga for the second week in a row in order to rest it. I'm supposed to meet with a physical therapist tomorrow.

And to top it off, I just realized that I'm not in any of the desirable demographics anymore (I guess that one slipped past me a while ago). No one wants to advertise to me, or cater to me, or any of that stuff (males aged 18-34 was the one I heard on NPR tonight).

Two months. 2012. 2014--Fox isn't even old enough to be president.

SD,

Well, I shouldn't say anything about your age, as I am 'slightly' older,,,,,,,,,,,,but I will anyway!

Seems your shoulder isn't the ONLY thing that's starting to go. I am suspicious about your mind OR perhaps it's refusal to accept what "is",,,,,,, <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

What is making me think this, you ask?? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

You haven't updated your Sig line to reflect your TRUE age!! LOL!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

2016 here.. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well.. probably best to get that shoulder looked at. Could be arthritis.. at your age, one can never be too careful.


I'll be keeping you in my prayers.. they say the hips are soon to follow.

Strivn,

How come "Stay" is a recovery song for you? Everytime that song comes on the radio I want to write a letter to Sugarland and tell them off.

Hmmmmph! Poor little OW whining and b!tching and moaning that her married man won't stay with her - when his wife calls, he answers and returns to her - leaving the OW alone.
One of the lyrics is something like "I give my best to you, why does she get the best of you?"

Grrr......sorry. Trigger.

How'd you make a positive spin on it?

Well, it reminds me of the days that I was weak and how I learned to be strong...I guess it's my tale of PERSONAL recovery...

I also took her as the wife, flipped it I guess, she's the one wearing the wedding ring in the video...she tells her WH to Stay...be with the OW b/c I don't need you anymore...

in my mind, the wife gives the best of herself and the OW gets the best b/c that's the imagine that the WS gives...

So, you think that it's the OW singing, but I think that it's the Wife singing...like I said I took it that way b/c she's singing and wearing the wedding ring!

I hope that this helps...

Rin,

I never saw the video - so you're a step ahead of me there. I looked on the CMT website and this was written about it: "In her case, she sings of being “the other woman” and tired of the pain her situation brings. "

If it means something different to you - then go for it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It's just my own little trigger.

Fox

Sorry for TJ, sdguy.
