{{{Emily}}} that is hard, sending warm prayers and thoughts your way.
Beth, hope you get to feeling better soon and that you have fun checking out the flannel-lined jeans! I didn't know they made such things.

{{{Emily}}} So sorry. I too am going through a loss. So sorry this has happened to you. I would not want anyone to feel the way I am feeling right now. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Dear ____, really? Everything was fine until you suddenly walk out on me because I got sensitive about you looking at my things? It's not even like I want to hide stuff from you, that's just a conversation with an ex I am still somewhat coolly friendly towards, I'm just very, extremely, sensitive about people looking at things I say and teasing me about it. You've been dating me for this many months and you still don't get that I have weird quirks people misunderstand and think I'm being sneaky, rude or anti-social when I'm really just being extremely shy?
Cripes. What a way to start the new year. Anyone know where I can get a new brain so I'll stop doing things people misinterpret?
Alexis, I'm so sorry you're having relationship troubles. And here's my tough love advice. When our "weird quirks" repeatedly disrupt our relationships, it's arguably time to talk to a professional about them. I wish it was just a matter of finding people who understand and tolerate our issues, but I know from personal experience that that isn't a great long-term solution. So, I would urge you to talk to a therapist and if you already have, keep working at it. Good luck in your journey.
That's very astute advice, Indy.
to whom it may concern.
happy new year!! Let's all hope for a less difficult one.
Yes.
Aim high; let's hope for a really fun, joyous, healthy and uncomplicated one while we're at it!
Thanks for the advice, Indy. I was working with a therapist until late last year when money ran out, now saving up to pay for therapy again, hopefully, this time, money doesn't run out. Despite all the social skills stuff I've learned, some days I feel like this cartoon character who tries to do everything right but screws it all up and everything goes wrong anyway...
I feel that way sometimes, too, Alexis. Maybe many of us do. I'm happy you're making your way back to therapy.
not me. No cartoon character here; Job's wife instead!
Dear Bicycle Goddess/Gods,
Please let me get quicker quicker, I'm new and my DH and friends are being so kind about waiting for my slow arse but I really would like to click my road shoes three times and be able to not slow down the pack as soon as possible, okay? Thanks!
Jenn :p
Mimi, you have the patience of a saint... :)
Jenn, don't worry. Just potter at your own pace and keep riding often. Very soon, you'll find yourself flying on wheels. :)
I am not patient!
Dear Togged Out Biker Chick on your carbon fiber bike,
Seriously you pass within 3 inches of my left shoulder and you don't acknowledge my existence! How rude, you obviously are not a TE reader. It wasn't even so much the lack of a "on your left" or "happy new year" or "hello" as it was the way you stood up in your pedals and looked ahead like a hunting dog pointing out a bird and just totally ignored a fellow bike rider. Good thing we weren't 10 feet further on the road when I would have been ready to start changing lanes to make my left hand turn, I may have knocked you over.
When you click you heels, try saying, "There's no speed like fast; there's no speed like fast..."Quote:
