Thanks; I'll have to spend some time digesting this one. Having both of you agree helps; I wonder what Cathy would say? Yes, this is a real sitch, has been happening less lately, but probably because we've been more detached from each other rather than that the problem has been resolved. Of course, I'm usually pretty upset by the time it reaches that point, so the "be reasonable" part is pretty tough (if not aready OBE at that point.
I guess part of the question, though, is determining what the "right" thing is. Sometimes I feel like the variant of the "tree in the forest" question I've heard: If a man says something in the forest, and there's no woman there to hear him, is he still wrong? Again referring to my tag line, sometimes I feel like I've tried, tried harder, done a 180, done a 120, done a 90, and gone orthogonal out of plane. She probably feels the same way. So what I'm still trying to figure out is when "x" can (and does) mean "x," "y," or "z," how do I know which it means [this time? Or would you still respond "refer back to previous answer?" Thanks!
HERE is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin...sometimes he feels that there really is another way [of coming downstairs], if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it.
