POny's person knows damn well what Pony's situation is doing to you. She's taking advantage of both you and the pooch.
Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
She knew that would get to you, which is what manipulators love. Which is hard to grasp if you aren't one.(My stepmother ran over her own foot one time.)
But I'd really encourage you to examine the urge to "do something for" ex-friend. That really took me aback.
No,no, brenda,I did not mean to do anything for the human, though I'm assuming _she_ would expect me to do something for her out of my love for Pony.
Everyone is right. It's a massive manipulation. I really oughtn't have given it a moment's thought. It's just that silly dog owns some real estate in my heart.
Andi, you are so wise. I _have_ done what I can for Pony by wishing healing for her into the world. Anything else would just be destructive.
I think I need a nap. I woke up at 4am and could not get back to sleep, so I'm running a deficit in the clear thinking department.
I am in the office today, wearing new slacks and my new Danskos. I feel like I look more professional than usual. And yet, I'm having a horrible time with the motivation thing. I'm a pile of don't wanna.
Erin, valium is my go-to. I don't know why it isn't used more.
Bonny, you can't really do anything for Pony except loving thoughts. Even if you could see her.
When I first got treatment for depression, my doctor's initial response was to prescribe valium twice a day. On the second day, I almost fell asleep at work. So if my experience is any guide, it could be a good sleep aid. Maybe too good.
valium is my go-to. I don't know why it isn't used more.
I love my Valium, but it is highly addictive (and I think that the withdrawal from addiction is potentially lethal).
I've never had a problem with it. Maybe I just don't take it enough to get addicted.
My doctor gave me klonopin (or whatever unpronounceable generic) as a sleep aid. Same concept, I think. Relaxing your brain a bit rather than directly making you sleepy.
Lorazapam is the only thing to get me to sleep some nights.
