OH - woe is me - I've slipped to page two on the board wink

So the Boks DID thump the All Blacks. As if I had any doubts. Yay Boks!

I found oldest friend - Mainstay (I'll explain where he got his name sometime).
Turned phone off - I actually didn't "need" to have Karen report back on the meeting. Or even worry about if it happened.

So back to me and Main. We had a great evening watching the game and then the conversation....

Asked if he thought I was an idiot. Or if W was an idiot. Answer - "negatory good buddy" (did I say this right?)

And went on to if he saw any "differences" in me or my outlook. Guess what the answer to that was. Weekend before last he just didn't know what to say to me as I wallowed in my self induced pity pit. As someone once said - "what to do, what to say".

We had a discussion about life the universe and everything. And the surprising thing was all the DB stuff came up without forcing things.

He totally agreed that the only control I had was with myself and my outlook on life.
He also agreed that through this, the impact I was having on people I relate to/with was so very positive. Just like Karen - he was very reticent in seeing me just in case he saw the "old me". SURPRISE.

He confirmed everything that I taught myself through trial end error, through cruising the community here and advise from friends and relatives. My goodness - we're all right.
A hard journey. But so very well worth it.

So - in a nutshell (before I fall over). Fab night. Fab company. Fab results. Fab feedback.

Another "problem" relationship sorted.

One more to go - the W.

Sorry to be so terse. Bit "plastered". Haven't done this in a while because I just didn't feel like it. Tonight was the night though. Not to forget - to relate and to remember.

Catch u in the morning (sans hangover).
