    **major Whine Alert**

    I'm soooo down I can hardly breathe. DPITA must've gotten The Letter by now. No communication, of course. I don't miss my ring at all. I feel like a social clutz. I just got home at 8 pm, but I'm too exhausted and lonely to sleep. I need a haircut. I burnt the roof of my mouth on my baked potato.

    I just want to be through this crap so I can go on my bumbling inept way, auditioning the gorgeous hottie for the next Ms. Knot and riding my bike in some centuries.

    I want to get a phone call "Ok. Call it good. Slate is clean. Bye." I'm just really scared she's gonna put me through the wringer and I'll waver.

    Weak moment! And I have no chocolate to bolster my soul!

    (but I do have bike-chain tattoos that Doc did)

    Whining?

    Gonna go for spikes again? I haven't seen you w/ spikes, so I dunno what I'm getting into by asking, but thought I'd tempt fate. Professional job is making me wear my hair longer again. *BOO!*

    As far as it really matters, you are done with that crap. The letter should be the end of your involvement as far as you're concerned. It's her turn to process something.

    Just have fun being a klutz with whatever sweet, charming biker girls you happen to meet/chat with/etc. The right one will love you for your mind and inherent charm.

    (((Knot)))

    I vote to bring subtle codes etc back to dating etc. Simple, straightforward, and no f*cking around (unless you want to!)

    I'm tired and stoopid. I wanna go home. It's Friday, and God so Help me, I'm gonna celebrate it like a 21 year old! (quietly, drunk, in front of the computer.)

    I need to get l@id. Now, what was that rule in the thespian handbook about rebounds...
    Ooh! Oooh!!1 I have this one memorized! It's Chapter 5 verse 18 line 5: Wherein the "Sexual Inactivity" is greater than 4 months but less than 5 years, said thespian is to be reintroduced to action at soonest possible convenience. In the event this is >5 years, subject must be reaffirmed to have a pulse."

    That woman wouldn't have a **** leg to stand on if she had the unmitigated GALL to even ****ing dare threaten you with abuse. The mere idea gives me creepy shivers. I'm not even going to start with the reality check needed here. GRRRR

    Kitsune06 "Oh, and Yes, especially abs. " and the ability to get out of Costco for $20.00.

    Kit I believe in It's Chapter 5 verse 18 line 10 in the first edition of the manual (I have an autographed copy signed by K.D. I got when I got my re-enlistment bonus. When I re-enlisted the recruiting officer told me there'd be lots of gratuitious sox. There's been none, but you know how they lie to get you to enlist. I was also told I'd get stationed in Hawaii but that's another story) anyway....in the back there's a list of suitable events including cycling to check if said subject has a pulse. Isn't there a single gals who like gals ride somewhere? Or the Cinderella ride but that's not till March?

    Xrayted. I am so sorry. Print shops are pretty dangerous, toxic places, I gather. I am really sorry about your friend--and about the larger implications of company policy. Infuriating.

    Nanci---Addy is cool! Although it's hard for me to say goodbye mentally to anything named "Baby Russell". Good thing I never saw a pic of him. Yeah, aren't hognoses the ones who play dead? They sound like they're vastly entertaining. I haven't had a period since last Thanksgiving, btw, so don't think we'll be seeing Carrie in THIS house anytime soon. Paris Hilton with Tinkerbell in her purse--would've been a classic.

    Knotted, I thought it was against all laws of the universe to leave Costco having spent only $20. How the hell did you manage that?? I am impressed.

    DebW---colonoscopy prep is a drag (put a good book in the bathroom) but the drugs are fun and you won't remember a thing.

    Hey, Lise. I don't drink either.

    Having a broken toe is a boring, slow-moving pain in the ***. And why is it that the SIDI Dominators that'll fit me only come in black? Yuck. Wonder if I should use one of those late-night-TV-put-rhinestones-on-everything machines on those black Dominators?

    I have one Siamese cat sitting between me and the keyboard, and one small Abyssinian cat snoring happily--and loudly--under the table.

    BMomof3---PMed you some favorite websites in case you can't sleep tonight. We'll all be visualizing you in your Ibex hat. By this time tomorrow, it'll all be done, and you can read more posts on being bereft of perk.

    Knotted! You'll get through this, and it will be better.

    Naw, this is PART of the grand scheme, so while it's not everything, it's damn well not tiny either. And it's HARD. But it gets better. Relationships should NOT make you feel bad when you're in them, dammit. That's the only rule I am sure of. Just keep trudging, cookie. You'll get there.

    What's this about not getting the whole way through??? Nobody told me about that. And what's radiology got to do with it? They're sending me to enterology. Last year my h went through this, and after he'd done the prep, they called him the morning of the appointment and said that power was out at the hospital and they were cancelling his appointment. That sucked.

    Knotted, try thinking about stromatolites, microbial mats which have existed on earth for 3.5 billion years. It always works for me (but I realize I'm weird). And if that doesn't work (or even if it does), go ride Flossie. Better yet, ride Flossie and think about stromatolites. That's sure to improve your disposition and determination.
