Quote: and does the cell phone have total bearing for you as to whether or not the a is really over??
An excellent question. If I saw the cellphone usage dwindle to zero (without my insistance, i.e., without a confrontation), yes, I'd take that as a sign that the A was really over. So, knowing you a little, I'm guessing that your next question is going to be, how will I ever have peace (how will I know the A is really over) if I do have to have a confrontation in order to make this cellphone go away? To which I don't really have an answer. It's hard to prove the negative, isn't it? An A can be sometimes easy to prove, the lack of an A is very difficult to prove. I guess you can add that to your list of why it might be better not to confront (not that I'm promising anything!).
Quote: doh! (said in a homer simpson fashion) isn't that the equivelant of a BUT??
Yeah, it is. My skull is pretty thick, I still think that I won't be able to handle the existance of the cellphone over the long term. Guess you'll have to continue to work on me.
I'll work on the thought stopping technique (hey, is there a feeling stopping technique?). You are right, focussing on the positive makes me happier, and that makes me more attractive. And being able to sleep is a big bonus!
