Me thinks Marky is just trying to get his post count up..........

Not

Mark's just tired of typing posts that require a lot of thought and get ignored...

Besides, when someone issues a smiley challenge...

Oh MY EYES!

Mark, even if the intended posters ignore your post there is no doubt that you are helping a lot of others that read it...You have helped me numerous times and havent even known it....

So that's MY rant...

Ignore YOU????!!!?!???!!!......

Point 'em out to me........

Well its not a rant but, I have been thinking about all the great advice given here and the sometimes deaf ears it falls upon.

If it wern't for the people who consistently say the same things over and over untill the little light bulb comes to life in our heads at the exact time God only knows it is needed, where would we all be?

A word in season, but we don't know when it will mean anything or when it will work, only God knows when the time is.

So thats not a rant, but a word of appreciation, in season I hope.

Nighty Night, Mark...

Exactly!

Repetition is the mother of learning.

If it wasn't for reading the same principles over and over again in slightly different angles, I wouldn't have really got the ideas so quickly and thoroughly.

Lately, I reread a book on marriage that I had read about five years ago. It struck to me how it was essentially discussing the same things, even some terms were similar or exactly the same. But since some of this (boundaries, radical honesty, joint agreement and stuff) was discussed way too shortly, I just did not grasp the importance then.

So Mark, do NOT think that you have not been heard. Maybe not the person who it was meant to, but so many others have had a light come up in their heads...

I have become a fervent herald of MarriageBuilders, telling people about this forum, giving some links.. And quite many of them have been Mark's posts.

Thank you.

ITA with sparkler

and I have on occasion, realised that you've stopped posting the same thing repeatedly to me, with a different analogy and then seen you post something similar ot someone else and that is the



moment for me

bi-bi

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the laugh, Mark. And FWIW, I NEVER ignore you.......sometimes it just takes me more than sermon to "get it". I blame those pesky hair chemicals.......

Not,

In case you and your H are interested, the class my wife and I are running in September is also being led at the church we went to training at in Troy. It's a good "refresher" for those familiar with the Basic Concepts and already using them and after paying once you can take it as a refresher any time for free for life.

Just thought I'd mention it.

If you can't find the link and are interested, I can send it to you.

Q: "What should I do?"

A: "I think you should ____ and definitely ___ and maybe even ___ because this article <Insert link here> describes what you need to do clearly and even gives you the reasons WHY it is what you should do."

Q: "Yeah, I read that. I understand what you are saying exactly. Thanks so much for that link, it is a great help. So, now what do you think I should do."

A: "I still think you should do ____ and ____ and probably ___ as well."

Q: "Yeah, you are probably right. But in my situation what would be the right thing to do?"

A: "Follow the Plan outlined in SAA or in this thread here <link>."

Q: Yeah but what about MY situation?"

A: "I thought we addressed that already. Here let me repeat this for you in case you missed it [quote previous post] [Quote additional supporting information] [quote another previous explanation]"

Q: "Got it. Thanks!"

Q: You know, I was thinking about this ___ and ___ and even the ___ everyone says I should do, but I don't think it fits or applies or actually addresses my problem very well, so instead I'm gonna do %^&^&%"

Q: "Well, my H/W is moving out this weekend to live with AP. Anybody know what I should do?"
