I'm right with you, ita.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
sj, I would take something (I got them a lot when pregnant, so I still try Tylenol first out of habit, but there are better OTC medications), lie down in the dark, then have coffee before I came back into a lighted room. I would wear sunglasses around the house, if they hit when I had to do something (feed a baby, etc.) and couldn't lie down.
Thanks, Cindy. If I can avoid the panic attack next time, I'll do that, but because of that I couldn't relax enough to lie down or be alone.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
My statement was a bad reaction to this:
No offense to those of us who are with the ovaries and whatnot, but there was a VERY good reason most my friends in high school and college were guys.
It upsets me to see women make these kinds of disparaging remarks about other women. Still not a reason to make a disparaging remark about men, so I apologize.

I'm sorry, GC. I didn't mean to cause a bad reaction in you.
And no need to apologize for what has been your experience.

Thanks, Aims. While it pretty much has been my experience, I pulled it out specifically to show men in a bad light in reaction to a statement that (I felt) showed women in a bad light. So I truly am sorry that I did exactly what I was bothered by.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Good luck... I'm currently agonizing over this from the other side. My friend B. cut me loose a few months ago and I'd like to send her a birthday card...I feel it is always okay to send a note or card. It is just best if you don't expect a reply, good or bad. Frankly, you can't know if the card will be happily received or torn up. But if it can work out happily or just quietly heal some bad feelings, it's a chance worth taking if it is one that you fling into the wind with no expectations.
People are just so complicated...
This is why we should all live in caves.Yes! Caves! I like this.

Caves are good, as long as my family isn't in the cave with me.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I tend to make guy aquaintances more easily, but bond more closely with women. Well, in face-to-face contact. The Buffistas have skewed that quite a bit. Still - I tend to hang out more with guys, but have the deep conversations with women.

I would say that that is a more accurate telling of my friendships, juliana. Thanks for saying that.
