I want my Monkey and Sheep Back

[june72]

BP,
I am the worst advice giver on the planet and I'm not the best at following advice. So with that exclaimer, I'll state my opinion.
The one thing that has bothered me about the DB site is the advice given on "getting over things ASAP". I, personally, think it is normal to really wallow in misery for a while and slowly come to terms with things. I don't think people can 1-2-3 get back on their horse and pull themselves together. Everyone has their own timeline to getting over a rough patch. I know it took quite a while to get over my dad's death and I remember getting really offended by people telling me you'll feel better soon.
I know that if I had the email events you had it would be a really rough day for me and it would take a while to get back to feeling better. I think venting is acceptable and it's how a person can come to terms with things.
I do think the move will do wonders- really truly. New scenery really helps out in my opinion. Of course I do agree with everyone else that emailing him back would be a super huge mistake. Also, a small part of me would have the desire to email back with these five words- "You are such an @ss!". Maybe in huge, bold font with a flashing background of some sort to really emphasize the words. I think I would write it and save it to my draft folder and look at it every once in a while-lol.
What if you circled a day on the calendar three months from now and then reassess things? I think life may be better for you. Silly but I like to do weird things like that.
Oh yeah- he is SO looking for your signature- user! IMHO
