I'm not at all surprised that I instigated negative emotions.
I am not at all surprised that I made you think.
I am completely surprised you now love me

I have a thought/suggestion for GM - Go to AA/NA meetings.
As many as you can get to.
Go for a year on a regular basis.
Observe and pay attention to who's "got it" and who "ain't".
Pay attention to how the "winners" surrender in order to become a "winner".
Regard how joyful and peaceful surrendering can be.

Not everyone likes me. I piss off as many as I please. Which is a very good thing for me.

I look forward to pissing you off in the future

sss, I have seen this so many times on this board. Pep and Melodylane are truth tellers. You may get angry, but your eyes will be opened!

minor t/j Pep, you have mail from moi!

LOL SSS! She ticked me off when I first came here too! I wanted so badly to fight with her, and the dang woman would NOT comply!!! :teef: But they were her words that echoed in my head for sooooooooo long...that made me think...that helped me "get it"...And for that I love her too!

Mrs. W

Yep FF, Mel too! Her and her little pooping bull emoticon!

Mrs. W

WoW ! :MrEEk:

hey, I know good bullcrap when I see it!

Which brings me back to my original post, and my AA/NA recommendation .... the BEST place to have your bullpucky identified is one of those meetings .... no one has a keener sense for lies than reformed liars. And that's no BULL

I had no choice, you were obviously unarmed

HA! Takes one to know one of course!

I still look back in amazement that I didn't try to pick a fight with YOU, Mel...Probably best, since I didn't own any asbestos sportswear at the time! My heiney would still be smokin' today if I'd have done that I think!

Mrs. W

Yep, I'd brought a peashooter to a gun fight as Mel would say!

Mrs. W

***snort*** You crack me up!

One of the reasons I have not been back to my own thread, besides being without a computer for a while, is because I still do not know how to answer your last post to me there. I have not forgotten, I am just still considering. What you have said and brought up are truly that important to my recovery.

Of course I love you! How can you not love people who try to help you, even if it is tough sometimes? Besides, we have a bit in common and you are very kind.

I see you have read GM's post about the prostitutes. See how much he has learned here and with Steve and with the two of us muddling our way through this mess? He really is working hard and that part is due to all the pressure and BS calling you all did. MB weekend should really move us forward. Besides, he knows what I will do if he ever does this again....it will be painful. As painful as only a nurse can deal out. :MrEEk:

He worked NA before and it did help him a lot. Perhaps it would help for him to return. I did some Al-anon work too, perhaps that would be good for me again too. He just told me that it would be a good idea so there you go.....do you ever get tired of being right?

Sorry dear. At this point I have turned your pissing me off into important and helpful 2x4's. I can't get pissed off about that now can I? Still, I will enjoy watching you masterfully taking others to task.

Today when I dance with the goats I will dedicate our dance of joy to you.

group

OK - enough of that .... who can I piss off next????

Slight t/j, Mrs. W would you please be so kind to bump your thread? I would looooove to read it!!!

Thanks,

Angie

No need to bump it, Angie...You can just click on my name, and go back to my very first foggy & embarrassing posts that way...

Mrs. W

Yes, Mrs. W came here foggier than pea soup, and now she is a beacon of light shining over MB, giving everyone hope.

And I am one of those. I know this is a post to SSS that has turned into a love-fest for Pep, so if I may chime in?

Pep, while I was lamenting what to do about revealing my cheating to my BH, you kicked my backside to become honest with him. You bold-face typed to me about the Basic Concepts and screamed at me in 5 or 6-point font about Radical Honesty. Yours were among the early words that I took greatly to heart. Words that helped me change my life: "Want to feel better about yourself? Become honest again, your self esteem will rise."

Count me among your bruised yet appreciative fans.

Oh, and SSS...

Please take video. I'd love to see this.

I have tried to get video but since I am always running and dancing with them it is kind of hard. Perhaps since GreenMile is invested in our life now he can get a video.

Here are a couple of videos from youtube that show you what they are like. Mine are 2 years old now but they still do this. One of them will run forever bouncing sideways. They are so much fun.

I think SSS should (when she is ready) change her forum name to

Oooooh I LOVE that!

I wonder how you say that in the Lakota language?

Yes, I did.

You know, I've been on infidelity boards for awhile (predating my 2000 MB debut) and I have yet to see anyone who is living a lie truly like themselves for it.

This also plays out in my professional life , sometimes very dramatically. People can make themselves very very ill carrying on with years of "living a lie".

I usually don't enjoy butt-kicking (there have been some troll exceptions) .... if I decide to kick your butt it's because I want to set free something that's hidden inside (like your head)

I don't kick everyone's butt - just the ones who I think can "get it" and also "survive it" sooner or later.

So many times I've been told (usually by a WW not a WH) "Don't judge me until you've walked in my shoes."

I'm trying to get the liar to take those ugly shoes off and walk a mile or two as a free woman, enjoying their own life unencumbered by shame and lies. So, I kick them to loosen those ugly shoes

It's great to see people enjoying their freedom.
