Okay. This weekend has been an eye-opener for me. I'm writing now to tell you all that I surrender. I can't keep playing this game, because I don't find it fun anymore. <P>I know it all started off as a joke, and we were all teasing around with each other, so I know that no one meant it as anything other than tongue-in-cheek. But I can't play anymore. Even as a joke, I can't write "Ways that XYZ are Better than Men" or "Rules Women Live By" or whatever anymore, because, for me, I can't in good conscience even say some of that stuff to people I consider my friends. We have been ripped up enough, and I want to stop, even if it is a joke. <P>The simple fact of the matter is that we have all been hurt and want a goofy way to express that feeling of "getting even" just a little bit. But when I think of you all...c00ker, Jax, Jayhawk, Java, Cinderella, Butterfly, WhenIFindTheTime, Mitzi, Bill...I just can't think what I've been writing anymore. Not even as a joke. We have to depend on each other to build ourselves up, not tear ourselves down. So I surrender. Whoever wants to can win. White flag is up. <P>CJ <P>------------------<BR>Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
