hey bbj. i only ask the questions.....however.....
<<However again if all cards are being placed on the table, so to speak, I recognize that there is a part of me who takes a small measure of satisfaction in him texting me, calling me, etc because it means that he still finds himself connected to me even as he is saying he has no connection>>
This is what i thought.
furthermore,
<<I just feel like ignoring him is back to game playing/plotting/strategizing, and I am just tired of all that>>
I was not suggesting you ignore him for strategical purposes but rather to relax or as the kids say to chill.
Hey BBJ continue to be open....let it all hang out.....we will all try to guide in our own ways.....than you take what you want and the rest can .... go by the wayside.
Still pulling after all these years....
Oh and i have no problem with ics or golf lessons...
