This is a story about breaking plan B. Or not going into plan B when needed. I am a terrible writer but I know there is a parable here.

There was once a very nice bunny, I will call him Bunny, who was married to a very dull buzz saw. Their relationship was in crisis, and all the buzz saw could do was groan and moan, and feel sorry for itself. Really! Buzzy could put such a spin on anything!

After a while, due to boredom selfishness the buzz saw lost its mind and started randomly cutting up its own life. It did not matter what, who or where it was, it became a path of total destruction.

Bunny, being part of the life that was being ruined by these actions was very upset. �I know, he thought, I will talk to the buzz saw, I will reason with it.� So bunny hopped over to talk and �bzzzzzzt.�

After a trip to the emergency room to have the parts reattached, Bunny decided to try again. �I know, he thought, I will really talk to the buzz saw this time.�
Hop, hop, hop. Buzz, buzz buzz.

It took an ambulance this time.
Still recovering from the surgery, maybe it was the morphine drip, the Bunny then said;
�Buzz saw will certainly feel sorry for me now! I will really, really talk to Buzzy this time.�
Ring, ring. �Hello?� Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Back to O.R. #6 and ICU.

Now, to be fair, brother and sister readers, Bunny did have the right to feel abused. He tried to reason. Bzzz. He tried to plead. Bzz Bzz. He tried threats. Bzzzzz. He tried using pity and empathy all to the same result.

What, oh what, should bunny do?

LOL! So true.

Though not even warranted, but certainty normal due to the experience I've had, I'm now in a state of preparation -- preparation for what if,...and how to go about Plan B, Plan D, etc., if it turns out it's needed. I've run through all of the possible scenarios of what could go down and how I might (or should) proceed if it does.

I'm currently in recovery, but not so sure I should trust that the other shoe won't drop. Is that bad? It's like Bunny has the bag packed and ready at the door,...just in case Buzzsaw has a lapse.

Well, the main character is loosly based on me!
Bunny does not realize that his "storming the gates" only
added to his woes.

Subtitle; Dumbbunny vs the wayward buzz saw...guess who wins?

More food:
buzz saw = circular saw = circular arguments?
buzzy putting a "spin" on things?


There seems to be so many posters at this time who are now coming up with their own plans. It hurts to see so much pain, and then to watch it happen over and over. No wonder some advising posters quit posting after a fashion. Not only is it irritating when offered advice iscompletely ignored, but to see the results is painful.

Like that movie 127 hours. In a loop.

They do not realize that PB protects the M by protecting your love bank from being robbed.

By the time buzzy wakes up, Bunny has gotten over the M and moved on to a nice relationship with a (?).
