Killing the Blues (10)

[girlfromipanema]

lodo, your thread title makes me think of one of my favorite Gary Moore songs:

Edited to add: no clue on the "video" on youtube. just like that version of the song.

Except I think it'd be more along the lines of -

Friday: You're dating HER?! Oh, can I borrow your truck again? And will you pick up my veggie box? And would you drop by the house and water the yard? And will you stay on the mortgage another 4 years? And can I come over and have a heart-to-heart discussion since we connect on so many levels and I don't have a relationship like that with anyone else but I don't see how that is anything that could sustain a relationship and don't tell me I can't see it because I'm sleeping with someone else?

"The Slayer" - yup, that's me. Sexier than "MotU"

OMG, you made beer come up my nose!

[lodo]

hey girl - you edited your post before I could ask what was up with the video

Well, youtube doesn't have the john prine version, which is my fave, but here's the alison krauss/robert plant cover:

And g, if you can't drink beer responsibly, maybe you shouldn't drink it at all! Does this mean you're going to sit out by your fire ring tonight?

I'm grilling right now and eyeing the fire pit. But I think it's too dry and breezy :-(

Maybe you both should have moved here maybe a thread ago? Yoo both seem to be having so much fun. We are kind of serious over on Infidelity and I think g stayed too long at newcomers..6 mths!!

Glad to see you are in better spirits.

Hi kat,

I think it has less to do with fun and more to do with reaching a place of acceptance.

[kat727]

I know that I will get there. The rope has been dropped, the divorce will be next week, don't want contact with him unless it has to do with the kids, maybe I am closer than I think.

But, but, but...lodo, you've allowed her to keep imposing on you to help her and you've chosen this route of friendship with her. I'm not disagreeing or saying that is a bad way of doing what you feel is right, just reminding you.

In all of your posts, I don't recall that you ever talked about being angry or upset or even raising your voice to W. You always have these deep heart to heart talks. How about a 180 of screaming for a bit? Or Tough Love. There is a book about that.

My ring story - I never ever took my ring off for any reason (until my 1st surgery and they wouldn't allow it). It wasn't a big fancy rock that stuck out, it is a band with some little stones set in it so it is smooth. I was proud to wear it and be 'claimed'. When H first started his wayward ways and I still didn't have a clue of what was really going on I took it off. I had a 'I'll show him!' attitude. He never noticed. I finally put it back on because I missed wearing it and I realized I always fiddled with it on my finger.
After finding DB and unsuccessfully detaching, I finally took it off again as a way of helping me detach. It did help me. It's been over 2 years and the mark is still visible.
H doesn't believe in wedding rings and we only got them to pacify me. He only wore his on special ocassions, but once when he left on a trip and forgot it he did call back to me and ask me to be sure and bring it when I was coming to meet him.

There, see how easily I take over your threads?
