I just read this in a mag. I haven't tried it yet. Please let me know if you try this and if it works.<P>If you feel tears starting but do NOT want to cry, look up. This temporarily desensitizes the emotional centers of the brain, quilling tears.

Why in the heck would you want to do that? I thought it was ok to be emotional in the 90's. Is that off again in the 00's?<P>When my ex dumped me I balled. She just sat there laying on even more bull****, smug and seeming to enjoy it. At first I was a little embarrassed about it. With the passage of time, in retrospect, I'm glad it worked out that way. I probably said more that way than words could have, and she definatly showed me more about herself than she probably wanted to.

I don't want H to see me cry. <P>Falling apart in his presence makes me feel inferior and helpless. <P>It makes him mad and look for an escape from me. (definite LB)<P>So in my case it's better to control the water works.

Keosha, <BR>Thanks for the tip. I tend to cry when I get angry, and that seems to be the predominate emotion of late. I hate that I do this, because it give stbxh a feeling of control/power. NOT! <BR>Thanks again,<BR>B<P>------------------<BR>There are deep sorrows and killing cares in life, but the encouragement and love of friends were given us to make all difficulties bearable. <BR>-- John Oliver Holmes<P>The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.<BR>-- Elie Wiesel<P><BR>
