Was good to catch up with you. I know you don’t have much free time, but if you ever find yourself with a gap in your schedule it would be cool to catch lunch or whatever…I’m willing to drive to your neck of the woods.

I was suspicious. It seemed to contain too many pop platitudes to have been uttered by the Dalai Lama. With Google’s help, I did some research and discovered that the passage was actually the handiwork of pastor Bob Moorehead, who resigned from his Seattle church under a cloud of allegations about misconduct. I urge you to make similar investigations of the ostensible truths you receive this week, Taurus. You may find discrepancies as major as the differences between the Dalai Lama and Bob Moorehead.

Hey! I didn’t realize you had a blog until you started following mine! Congrats on the new webcomic, I look forward to reading it. I still read FreakAngels, which you introduced me to. Usually, I read it every few months, so I have a whole bunch to read at once. :) So get busy and start entertaining me too!

Don't even have a place to have it yet. :) Still working on that bit.

Comment on Expecting agression by trase

"I suppress my wants to fulfill the wants that are set before me by those mentioned above. The really bad part of this? I get frustrated and annoyed and irritated with it later."

Hi, I'm Trase and I'm also a co-dependent enabler with tendencies toward rescuing, although, I've been in recovery for some years now. ;)

One of the things we need to keep mindful of is that conflict is not necessarily a bad thing. Trying to ignore or bury a conflict by neglecting or denying ourselves is *always* a bad idea, though, and not sustainable in the long run. You and I have had conversations about this and our patterns in past relationships. It takes a very conscious effort to identify and change this behavior in ourselves, but it's a constant effort and we aren't always going to succeed. Trying to reprogram ourselves is never easy. But it's worth doing and the fact that you are recognizing it in yourself means you are in that process. :)

So, keep up the work, try to identify old baggage and let the airlines lose it for ya! ;)

Comment on Discomfort with endings by Ann

Ann — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 00:05:00 +0000

"So, with a pledge of lifelong partnership ending far before the end of life, what value does the pledge then hold...?"

that's the question i always had about marriage. i've yet to hear a good answer.

a lot of marriages look to everyone like bad ideas from the start. yours wasn't one of those.

that's what makes the ending uncomfortable for others, i think.

as i understand it, everyone wants to believe that lifelong love and partnership is possible for someone, even if it isn't necessarily for them personally.

it's a symbol of hope.

one that has fallen.

Comment on Too long, too long. by trase

I agree with shelbyden – I’d send a thank you card to that clerk. :) It sounds like she’s in the minority at her workplace, and I’m almost certain that employee performance recognition in a government job like that is probably nil.

That said, I am glad that you are reaching a point of closure on this matter and can move forward in your life. It only gets better from here. :)

When you encounter someone who actually competently DOES THEIR JOB, it’s always nice to remember them after it’s over with a card or some flowers. They are a disappearing breed. :)
