I'm really just trying to keep Lil from getting all those posts in a row at the top of active topics, so I got nothing to add right now...

Dammit Mark!

I was on a roll there

Great post Jim.

You're a very special man, and Mrs Flint is a very lucky woman.

Congratulations on your recovery.

ITA.

Anything is possible, I think this is great.

Jim Flint ..... really good post.

L4, hope your trip is productive, I'm thinking of you lots!

I'm running out of time, but ....... I have a huge role count on this forum!!!!!

Its only temporary......

ahh, back to finish where I left off

Hey L4, hows it going over there?

Yeah... How's it going L4.... I miss you girl...

Still thinkin' of ya L4, hope you and Jenny are getting along just fab!

Isn't it great to have new friends.

Thinking of you, L4

Big Hugs L4

Missing you round here but understand that you have a punishing work schedule and so much other stuff going on.

Hope your dad is still making good progress.


Look after yourself and firm up on your boundaries. You can only work on you (as Jim says). But actually I think you have been doing the work that Jim suggested. And I think that post would have been particularly useful months ago. But you have definitely moved on - we can hear the change in your posts, you have been doing those things.

Please be honest with your H about how you feel. I know you show him affection and admiration and let him know when you like something.

If he wants the M he needs to let L4 know that he wants the M and NO, it really isn't good enough to just be there.

L4 please let him know that you are unhappy. Ask him if he is happy?

Ask him whether he wants to be happy with you.

You're a year on now - no more limboland.

Good points ST, I concur.

Hope your weekend goes great L4, I'm headin' out to a hockey game right shortly, gotta love hockey!

With the way the Bears and Bulls are doing, we're starting to like hockey a lot more around Chicago...

Mark

L4,

It's been twelve days and two pages, one of very good advice and one of mostly silly stuff to which I was a contributor, since you last posted.

Your trip should be over.

We're all sitting here wondering if this is a good sign or bad, sort of like wondering what it means when the jury is out for two weeks without returning a verdict.

So we, or more accurately I, was wondering what is going on in your household.

Rest assured be it breakthrough or breakdown, connubial bliss or misanthropic meltdown, we're all here for you.

I ain't going nowhere till you tell us what's up...

You might want to hurry since I do sorta have to pee...

I'm still waiting...

LOL....Mark is waiting oh so patiently. Can't you tell? ;-)

Well, being a girl and all and not always having facilities or the proper environment to relieve oneself , I can give you some tips with your dilemma.

First, I hope you are sitting, it's much easier and less obvious to cross your legs very very tightly and possibly doing that up and down nervous swing thing with your foot, than say if you were to be standing.

Secondly, think of the desert, dry sand and cacti. Focus on being dry.

Whatever you do, DON'T think of anything WET, like a dripping faucet, rain falling down and splattering on

a steel roof, or a water park with water gushing everywhere, those sounds of DRIP DRIP DRIP, or WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH

this will make you crazy mad and your legs will begin to shiver, a twinge go up your back, and we all know where that will lead.

And, don't even go here ..... imagining any part of your body in water, , especially your fingers or toes in warm soothing water, that would be a deal breaker.

So ....... hope I could be of service!

I love the weekends .....

What do you do when you are sitting right next to a window, from where you can hear the rain bucketing down and splattering the rubbish bins outside? It's hard not think about wet things then.

I don't suppose you North Americans have heard about the high rainfall over here these last few days, but there has been flooding and much emergency evacuation.

Where did everybody go? Why is recovery so eerily quiet?
