It is a Constantly Variable Transmission (CVT) Subaru and Yugo used them with out much success back in the late 80's early 90's. VW had a Semi Automatic back in the day.. you had to shift it like a manual.. but the clutch was "automatic". Anyway.. I digress. I was really hoping you were gonna explain.. how it worked internally.
that's for another rainy day. ;-) when i was learning how to drive a manual, the instructor had a model of it and was explaining it to me. i was too focused on the instructor.

My favorite tool.. is a smile. By a long shot. You can get away with just about anything.. by smiling. Think about it.. if you walk into a room.. and there is someone smiling.. you look at them and retain them in memory. They exude fun. You can hear a smile on the phone. Any telemarketer will tell you part of their training involves a smile. It changes your "attitude".
i have not been smiling this week. i used to. and i got a lot of attention.

Try it out.. smile and say something kinda mean to a close friend.
Give a good smile to a unsuspecting random person. You don't have to say a word.. just walk by.. smile and look them in the eyes. Bet you they smile back.
1 person can change things.. with something as simple as a smile.
i will remember that. this task is easy enough to do. baby steps.
and free write. No digging. Gather the thoughts.. focus.. smile.. and write me something nice. Show me you.
i've lost me. i don't know if i just need a break and just go somewhere. even i don't know who i am anymore. what do i want? i don't know. i feel like i'm at crossroads. i either don't make the effort to db and go for the jugular. or db and take the chance that it still may not save the m.
why do i feel like a fool?

If you can't find you.. how can you possibly expect him to find you? Seems to me you may be waiting a loooong time for that to happen.
how do i find me? i've been swallowed up by my own self-pity. i'm pathetic.
i need something to turn this around. maybe i just need a date or something.

Look at the support you have.. you are not doing this "cold turkey". You raised your hand.. and asked for help. It's here.. now what do you do?
i will smile. that's my first assignment. i need to learn how to get a date. is dating while you're separated, a faux-pas? i should remove my wedding ring. after all, my h left me so technically i'm not really married anymore.
