NERO here- don't let me float away anybody

[RosaLinda]

"nobody falling off the cliff or down the mountainside- we just rope ourselves togethr- go slow - watch the path & keep hanging on & movin forwadrd.
i'm painting tht picture if i ever sit still- all of us in dresses roped togeher"

i love this image Nero. Billowy dresses, like the gals who live in our dream English cottages wear to tea. All roped together so none of us fall off the cliff. 

I'm doing okay today, thanks for asking. My H is perplexing me, but that's nothing new. He was laying on the couch talking to me standing next to him, and suddenly held a throw pillow over his face. Stupid me had to ask why, instead of just letting it go. He said he did not want to look at me because I look like a big white moon. I'm sort of little, 5'2" and 125, so just said WTF to myself and dropped it. I have never been a curser but find my self using the "F word" to myself a lot lately. He talked on skype for 4 hours this morning, took a 3 hour break, and is back on again for his afternoon phone sex session. That's not really fair for me to say, I really have no idea what they talk about for so many hours every day. I wonder if she looks like a big yellow moon to him? And, F F F. There I feel better!

I'm sure you're right about your H telling you to have fun because he lfeels guilty. 

Your poor neice, holy cow. I bet her dad IS going thru some kind of crisis! The poor girl. I'm glad you were able to help her. Is that your sister who passed away's girl? 

"i keep telling her things get to people sometimes & they just have "crises" in life - SHE DIDN'T BREAK HIM- SHE CAN'T FIX HIM. don't pick up - whatever she has to do to deal with it- feel compassion yes, BUT IT IS - not her job to go down that road w/ him. it is his journey.
as i say it- i realize how wise it is and how much i believe it"

It's good advice for ALL of us to remember. And like you, I truly believe it too. 

About when the novacaine will wear off -- I dunno. I've read an average of 3 to 5 years, sometimes as long as 7. It's been 3 1/2 years for us. I am pretty sure I can stand another 1 1/2 years. But another 3 1/2 years? To quote myself -- F F F. Didn't help as much that time
