It means omitting the beginning of a word as in 'round for around or 'til for until. There. Nice boring meaning no one can possibly take wrong <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

It means omitting the beginning of a word as in 'round for around or 'til for until Maybe it could mean you could omit your first 'seemingly still foggy' posts. Maybe it will help you start (or continue) to open up to owning your stuff, not blaming, being a victim, rationalizing....justifying....etc. Good name, Aph, and a good effort to show you're willing to change. Finding a way to afford calls to SH will be the best investment you could make in the rest of your life. How do you put a price on that? Ace

Aphaeresis Member A Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 725	Thanks everyone. TogetherAlone, I have no idea what word that would be. I think if you google "reverse dictionary" you might be able to find a site that could tell you, though. Ace, I'll find a way somehow to make at least one call before D-day.

Blood is life-giving, oxygenating the body. It has many components. A marriage (body) needs oxygenating as well by many components of love at the outset. Aph is collecting 'components of love' (honesty, selflessness, commitment, etc.) that are needed to oxygenate her relationship. She is also deleting her seemingly dubious beginning here on MB, thus enabling her to collect more components of love. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> I said it was a stretch. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Ace
