Quote: Well, I'd have to feel bad only if I was taking pot shots at little people... Personally, I lump them in with people who are like D6--overlooked, underappreciated and just different from us giants!
I have to say that even though we've never met, D6 is one of my favorite people - D6 stories always make me smile!
You aren't a little person, are you? If you're a clown, you're hired!
Little person? No (5'10", actually). Clown? If by clown you mean constant clutziness, occasional airheaded-ness (I know, that's not a word), and just general goofiness, then yes!
But the fact is that you can actually measure how long it takes to regain ground that is lost when doing a backslide.
I hope that this is weeks rather than months, but I guess I'll never know - gonna go visit TripleJ's thread to find the post you spoke of.
During the period of regaining ground, you will often hear the S say stuff that verifies their position on why they don't want to give you hope or believe in the changes.
I think I'm treading a very fine line right now - one more outburst and the negativity from him will start again. I don't know if he feels like it's a sign things aren't going to work, but I know he doesn't express his unhappiness directly, so...
Summary: The backslides verify the yucky self talk they indulge in.
So - I need to at least gain back some ground before I eat more fish - j/k - I know I need to swear off fish forever!
Three cheers for tall girls!
That's heartily seconded by me!
I'm sorry, Mer, how about 3 cheers for girls who aren't as tall too?
Mer is tall on the inside, if not on the outside.

One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.
