25 - nah, I don't want any legal advice, just an educated opinion. You are right, I wouldn't take legal advice from a MB anyway But I would like your take on which L seems to make more sense with her reading/understanding.

And I agree also-- in my state especially I definitely think framing it as a gay rights case would be detrimental.

You (and val) are right about my pointing out the good. I have been doing so much better about certain things that I didn't notice that... I do have a tendency to call attention to things like oh, "I've cleaned the kitchen floor" etc.... (not lately, I mean just in general) I think it comes from insecurity/and the fact that my mother never noticed when I did good things unless I almost literally held them in front of her nose. LOL. Freudian complexes abound in my subconscious.... I remember I always got A's in school --- no one said anything..... once I got a B, all hell broke loose. SO I know WHY I do some of these insecure, needy things ---but as my W the therapist would point out, 'insight does not always equal change.;

I gotta stay mindful and in the present moment --- pay attention to what I'm saying/not saying/etc...

One thing W said the other night was she made an analogy to Obama... she said, well, he talked about hope and change. I have yet to SEE those things...... She said I need you to SHOW me just like I need Obama to show....no talk.

Yes guys, she is TELLING me what I need to do. I am trying and trying.....I mess up periodically, but I am really trying. I appreciate that you guys aren't TOO frustrated with me. I'm fighting so hard to improve myself....and I don't want to be all talk.

Some of you have grown so much --- I try to be as honest as I can here - and it's obvious I've not made the progress some have made, but I'm not giving up. I'm digging in even more!!!!!!

Mantra: Less talk, more action.
