pookie,

I am GALing and using NC/LRT/Dark as a means to detach. Physically I am detached I have no choice and emotionally I am getting better. I don't think I am controlling my W or manipulating her. She didn't have to respond, but she did so that is positive. The cupcake humor thanks to you and TH should confidence.

I don't think it is wrong to use a little strategy. The last time she responded I overwhelmed her with emails and this time I won't. I plan to email her in a few weeks about the tv commercial. Coach said a little warmth will melt the ice. That is all I am doing.

I am GALing till the cows come home. I can't afford all of the new clothes and since I lost 10 inches from my waist I look like a raggy saggy baggy....
