Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Ha ha, yeah. Even Dana calls me shrift. (If anyone can't make the connection, the most recent picture I posted was of beer.) I answer to both, although when I'm with fannish people, I answer more readily to shrift.

I will always remember your legal name, because it weirds me out. It sounds like a character name.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Off topic. I am trying to decide whether to keep doing karate.

Pros: exercise, scheduled, like the teacher, self defense

Cons: kinda far away, no class for beginners, money.

I have already decide the budget needs a once over, so I am going through it. Already cancelled on thing which was a monthly charge. The dunkin budget is what I must cut next. Must start back with coffee at work. That will no joke cover the cost of karate.

Because books.

Steph, things are ... the same. Which I'm beginning to wonder about. I don't know. My head is not a pretty place right now. I love him, but I guess I'm not sure if he's the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. Which, after 26 years of marriage, seems both ridiculous and scary. It's complicated.

I'm not angry at him, but I am feeling like this is a chance to break out of some old, bad habits, I guess.

Best of luck, Amy. Sounds like a hard situation all around.

msbelle, are there other closer classes you could take?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Steph, things are ... the same. Which I'm beginning to wonder about.

That is big and complicated and scary. It does sound like this change may give you some perspective to consider everything.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, Amy, I don't want your problems and any support you might need to get lost in...the other stuff that's going on.

Wherever you are, you know I have your back.

Also, re: SPN thread. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

Wishing you all the best, Amy.

msbelle, maybe start with cutting dunkin, and then decide? Unless the distance is a stress factor.

Amy, I am so glad to hear an update from you. I have been thinking of you often, and glad to hear you and Sara and Ben have places to be that keep you in your community for now.
