Being a fan of old b/w period costume dramas, I was quite familiar with Flynn's movies. The first time I ever took notice of Kevin Kline was in Sophie's Choice. I did a double take.

I said that I could love him completely...as a complete person without being with him because, in truth, if I broke up his marriage he would no longer be the man I was in love with. Sort of Shroedinger's husband.

Oh, what a wonderful way to put it. This is where I'm trying to get to with B, but with his inability to commit rather than his already being committed.

Dude, it autocorrected to pee? ::squints at meara::

I totally get that.

For me, it's about loving that people and things are in the world without needing them to be different than they are. It's like life is my museum. I can appreciate, without owning, the pieces around me.

useful to remind yourself even if you are married

Oh mercy. Jilli warned me, but did I listen? No. I did not.

I've continued to listen to the Dancre Stoker Dracula sequel because I enjoy the reader but there comes a time when even the most melodious British accent cannot overcome the malodorous prose.

I won't bother transcribing the tripe but will share one particularly pungent moment when a minor character is attacked by a spectral vampire. Disemboweled, "he thought he might vomit but looked down and realized he no longer had the stomach for it ."

I kid you not. Now, that there is some litterchur...I tell you what.

Sigh. Moving on.

I TOLD YOU. Seriously, if *I* warn someone away from a trashy vampire novel, it is dire.

Wonderful wording, bonny, indeed.

In the end, the crazy passion mellowed into a lifelong friendship which is far, far more valuable than anything we could have wrought at the time.

Yeah, that's where I'm aiming for. I guess it's easier in my case, with only a crush.

Every. Time. you find yourself obsessing know that what you REALLY want is NOT breaking your moral code, or acquiring a memory that will follow you for a very long time (believe me, I know whereof I speak).

Shout to yourself, What do I really want?! I want to feel GOOD! Then find something else that makes you feel good.

bonny, I bookmark A LOT of your posts. There's often something that speaks directly into my life. So thank you for sharing your wisdom and your self with us.

I'm finding it rather boggling. I despise acting less than competent in front of strangers--being lost, having trouble parking, and such--but I wasn't aware that eating in public--or just buying your groceries!--could be a fraught issue.

I have a friend who says that he won't buy toilet paper in bulk (like Costco) because he says that when people see the large amount of toilet paper, they think about how much you poop. I think he's ridiculous.
