Ok, so, I sent you a card with my cell phone number on it. You can choose to do whatever you want with it. Just wanted you to know that if you ever feel like hangin, I am in. You could call me at the last minute. If I am around, great, if not, ok, too. Your call, my friend.
I so understand your endurance thing. I have it, too. Just who we are, I guess.
Oh and yea, limbo suckks. Big time. But you are right, there are no guarantees in life. Would be nice if there were, but, oh well, there's not.
I totally understand about your family. I am as loyal as they come. I was, and still am sometimes, their go to guy. The one they call up and expect to drop everything. And usually, if I can, I do. But I have learned to say no from time to time. And there isnt nothing wrong with that. And they have adjusted - begrudgingly at first, but, they kinda got there.
ya gotta wonder..... i've never "spoken up" about my own wants much - or ever. not my nature to "demand" a damn thing. perhaps i need to work on somehow being more honest and straightforw4d (and demanding???) in a small way since we're immersed in this stinking mlc debacle. h is also alot like me in that respect. we avoid conflict til we almost die.
I never spoke up either. And that is no way to have a relationship, with anyone. It doesnt have to be a demand, though. It could just be an honest feeling being shared respectfully, right? Something you might work on, I think.
