Despite all the psych tomes with words, none of us is geared-up for genuine Loss. We're all screwed by that t i m e interval . . . . thing too, before a few upsides ever appear: I calls that pretty Bad Intelligent Design :-( A.
Post #315,040 by mhuber 10/5/09 1:38:16 AM Reply	Intelligent Design You may recall that I am a person who prays. In the depths earlier this year, I accused God of design. I am already enjoying upsides to this situation. The first day, I enjoyed stuffed cabbage, which I really like and which (because she grew up at the edge of a cabbage field with a sauerkraut cannery within easy smelling distance) she can't stand. And I made plans to visit relatives she can't stand just because I like them. I have stocked the pantry with ramen, which she never would allow. Remodeling will commence shortly, much of it in bad taste and in silly colors that I like. There will be bean bags in the living room. It feels wrong to enjoy these things, but there it is, you have to accept the good with the bad. And there is plenty of bad. Which I won't describe right now because I'm thinking positive.

My mother did not understand. My sister did. Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers? A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately.

An old friend was visiting a couple of days ago. His wife was iffy about me. I popped up after no contact after 27 years. Seems he didn't talk much about our time together. And now this crazy person shows up out of the blue to throw theirs lives in a timult. So I needed to meet her, smooze her, and then invite them to my place to meet my true love. They complimented her on the furniture, the general design, the carpets, etc. She demurred, oh no, he picked it all out. Hehe.
