Thread Drift

[chickwhorips]

knot i know its nice to have some complete closure, but in this instance you may or may not get it. either way if you never hear from her again then good. if she decided to call, talk to her calmly, i know easier said then done but it will be better for you. let her make the a$$ out of herself by losing control while you sit there level headed, which i know you can do.

chickwhorips "let her make the a$$ out of herself by losing control while you sit there level headed, which i know you can do."

what's that saying "If you can keep your head while others about you are loosing theirs..." that's either an old saying or something I recall from study of the French Revolution.

SK, mmmmmm, cheese

[snapdragen]

Knot - you would not be responsible if she were to hurt herself. It's all on her. Do not let her put that load of **** on you.

[KnottedYet]

Sorry to leave you hanging, Snap. I deleted my post.

You're right, though. I can't be responsible for her actions/threats.

Poem called "If" by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
.................... etc etc etc
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Hmmm, maybe we shouldn't try and turn Knotted into a man.

Vicchysoisse!

<geshundheit!>

It's cold and wet here, real wool socks and wool sweater weather. So I'm not riding. Getting into this crock-pot thing. Just started a big ol' pot of bast**dized Vicchysoisse. (I'm using garlic instead of leeks)

Mmmmmmm-mmmmm! Warm cozy soup for a cold chilly damp day! (and whole peppercorns add excitement to the coziness!)

Stinky Butt Dog is deeply offended that I didn't give him any raw chicken. I can see the pained betrayal welling up in his eyes. (he got scrambled egg and spam this morning, he's not as deprived as he wants the world to believe!)

Y'all come over for dinner. We'll have comfort food: Viccysoisse, crusty french bread, good wine (no more $3.64 bottles, I promise!) or good beer or drink of choice, some flan with dark chocolate and rich dark coffee.

I'm not sure that her key audience would like her as much that way... I've always loved that poem, though, and tried to fit the description (not that I'm trying to be a man, but those are great virtues to vie for anyway...)

mmm wish I could. That sounds so good! *drools*

wow. You really pay if you get behind in thread drift!

Knot, I hope that things are better for you now. It really is scary, that sense of freefall when you end your side of a relationship without knowing what the other end is going to do/or not to do.

Hey, what's this about a broken toe Salsabike??


All I can say is I am ready to go on vacation and i really need a bike ride.

chocolate would be good too!

Dog-legs for Lise!!



See, Stinky Butt Dog isn't a dachshund!
But he's sweet anyway.

[KnottedYet]

Dang, that sweater is awfully big now... (heeheeheee!)

It's just hanging out all over. How hard is it to shrink a sweater around without shrinking it lengthwise? Have any of you shrunk a sweater successfully?

DD's bird came home today. His leg is black and infected but the vet feels she can treat it just as well on EO day visits...Not looking good in terms of saving it.

Wow. Most emphatically not a dachshund! I can't believe what a trick the camera played with the perspective in that other shot.

KN--the desire to get a response from my ex was, for me, yet another way to stay connected. I had to look clearly at my own desire to get the response I wanted, once and for all. I had to simply let go. And move on. That's where the joy lies. My ex also threatened self-harm. Believe me, it never happened. The whole point was to terrorize ME. Once I simply looked away, there was no benefit in continuing to threaten me. I have no power over others' choices. If your ex harms herself, it's tragic, but has nothing to do with you.

Let's concentrate on the flan and pumpkin pie, shall we?

I had a typical day at the city clinic which culminated in them having no instruments sterilized for the one procedure I do there (insert IUDs). I will spare you my whine about it all. I acted like a professional, wrote it up, talked to the appropriate people, ended my day, and drove directly to the nail salon for a pedicure. Enough's enough! Tonight I'm on call, so I'm going to hit the hay for, I hope, a two hour nap.

Nanci--best wishes to Roy and your DD.

My HS BF threatened to stick a syringe of carbontetrachloride into his leg when I broke up with him. He didn't. But then he started with the psycho-stalker gifts.

My ex DH, on the first day of the end of our marriage, asked if I ever felt like killing myself, in a bid for sympathy. I told him to get his azz to a shrink if he was seriously entertaining that thought.

It's what they do.

Nice pic, Knot! Verynottadoxie!

I learned some extremely important things today- possibly one of the most important being, even if a swimming suit hasn't seen wear in (years?) the material still may well have gone to h*ll... and always try on a suit before taking it. ...and once it goes to h*ll, it sags lots. I had a lady congratulate me on my drastic weight loss. Since I was there and wet, I decided to swim anyway. Baggy suits trap air. Awkwardly. Trapped air is a stealth whoopie cushion. Imagine my surprise when I was talking to the hottie tri gent who was giving me 'swimming lessons', lifted myself out of the pool, and plopped down on the edge, making a nasty firrrrrt noise. Thank GOD he didn't say anything.

That suit? trashed, thankoo.
gonna bike in Friday morning (weather permitting) to get a nice tri experience... just.... slowly.

Okay, what's a HS BF? heterosexual boyfriend? Homosexual boy friend?

One of my relatives ended up staying with a creep long enough to give her two sadly messed up kids because of that slimy creepy threat "If you break up with me, I'll kill myself" We jumped up and down and yelled "LET HIM!!" but she didn't listen.. Because we knew the coward would never do it.

I finished touching up my son's bike. His brother and I did a little modification on it, (he did the cutting, i did the painting) it will be a surprise for his birthday. Bikes are hard to hide in a small house !!!(it had to be in the house because it's too cold in the garage to paint)
