LMAO, non-taken, in retrospect, I fully agree. I guess you remember that I was in sad shape when I got here. I pulled that name out of my past experience as the situation apppeared at that time. I suppose that the word "forlorn" usually has a somewhat different (whinier,) meaning now than it did when that phrase was coined. I'm glad to change it, like I did with AmyC's suggestion for my tag line. I think you'll like the new one better.

When you look back at how you handled yourself, weeks, months or years, you'll see how well you did.

Thanks Jack. I was on thin ice there. I was angry, but for the most part I was able to keep ahead of it. That feels pretty dang good.

when my wife said stuff like this, I would correct her, the manner of how is important, no yelling or crying, but a simple fact:

"We both live with it.

Anything more and it becomes guilt, not fact.

I'm working this like a dog with a bone. It might take me a while, and I might have to come back to it.

My delivery would be the real problem. Like you point out, making sure that I don't contribute to guilt will be the key to this.
