Over here solicitors wear more or less the same thing - suits in various dull, boring colours. Barristers wear gowns. The important thing is to exude confidence - apart from the fact it's very reassuring, it's also really sexy!

Oh Pita - that's an awful long way to drive for work - I do hope it is all worth it. I suppose coming back is easier as you get to listen to the radio and have your own thoughts. Just hope it all works for you and thinking of you - have a great weekend. You deserve it, E

I know what you mean about that 'heaviness' feeling. It comes from our subconscious when we are worrying about something deep inside. I just hope that you will very soon find the turn in the road you are seeking. God bless

Well I guess I'm really getting divorced! on 2008-05-14 14:11:26 |
|
Sorry, but from where I'm sitting, it seems crazy that you have to work harder to pay Foty a settlement for breaking up your family. Over here you would be allowed to live in the marital home until the children were finished full time education. Unless, of course, you were earning much more than he was. It just seems all wrong - no wonder you get mad when you didn't ask for any of it.

you have to be a grown up, before you raise a kid on 2008-05-14 13:48:35 |
|
Roe, you are speaking on behalf of so many of us. I could not agree more. Out of my 5 kids I find only 3 at the most are happy at one time. Then as you get older, you have to look after the older generation whilst contending with teenagers. Next thing you know you are worrying about your grandchild. It never stops, but would we change it? Never. However, it would be nice to be appreciated by all of them at the same time just every now and then. Well said - thank you, E

Hi Pita - well the first day didn't sound like the best, so it can only get better. That is way too early in the morning to start and how dare other people shower when you need to. Oh and tell that Tim to s..t or get off the pot! Tell him he will end up with heamorroids if he sits too long. Bet you feel better today and it's great to hear from you again.

What a difficult week you have ahead of you Cheryl. The only thing to do in times like this is surrender it all to the Lord and leave it with him. So hard for us mortals to do, but I believe the Lord constantly rewards those who follow him, so cast all your cares before him now. My thoughts are with you and my prayers. E

I'm so glad you enjoyed your day and it sounds like it was happy and contented. Also glad so many people remembered as we all like to feel special on that day. My mother died near my birthday 3 years ago and my closest friend died 3 years ago on May 12th which meant I went to her funeral just before my own birthday on the 16th. It was so wierd and I was so unhappy. Time to move on now but you have made me think that I must plan mine and enjoy it just the way I want it. Your countryside sounds beautiful - thank you for the descriptions and for sharing. E

Thank you Annie O. I am trying to get my act together and write more, but I have had a difficult couple of years and found it hard to remain focused. I cannot write contemporary literature that demands a lot of steamy sex scenes, so I shall have to get by on my characters. I do value your comments as it is encouraging for me. Thank you

Hi Rose,
You have made my day! It's 6 in the morning here so I guess you are fast asleep. Sometimes I get a bit dispondent about my writing as I don't get enough time to write at my book but hopefully that is going to change now. No - Easy is not my niece, lol, she just said I was the auntie she would love to have - full of wisdom (so untrue, but nice of her to say). I was thinking about how we met as it was on May 19th, 22 years ago. Wish it was still that romantic, big smile. Thank again Rose - it's nice hearing it from you as you know how much I enjoy reading your posts. Have a great day.

Seeing who's out here for my friend on 2008-05-08 03:19:40 |

My best friend died 3 years ago this month. Her husband got onto a roundabout and refused to jump off. He just couldn't cope any other way. He's a millionaire, big time and this dolly bird got her hooks into him (what first attracted you to the millionaire Mr McDade?). It ended in heartbreak for him, his son and his friends. Now he has met this adorable lady who he knew 30 years ago. We all love her, his son respects her and they are getting married later this year. How good is that! I am so happy for him. Good luck Pita - there are still some good people out there. E

Prelude - if the names he calls you make you feel disrespected, then it's not playful or funny, it's for real. You must go by your insinct on this one. You have a lot of respect for yourself and that is so important. There are a lot of issues in your relationship and, just sometimes, love isn't enough. I hope you enjoy Sunday as Brian's mother sounds like a nice lady and you need someone like that. She is right for telling you to be tougher as I am a great believer in tough love. Your ease of forgiveness shows you have a loving and kind heart and my prayer for you is that you meet someone worthy of you. You can't do that when you are heavily involved with someone else. We all care for you so much Prelude - you are easy to love!

Just wanted to add that I have that guilt a lot of the time also. God loves us just as we are, knows we are human and urges each day to live our lives the way He wants us to. Somedays I do, somedays I don't but I try not to beat myself up about it. Just remember he knows every hair on your head and he rejoices in your happiness.

A friend of mine has a son who was so fed up with relationships letting him down, he got into internet dating. He eventually met the girl, she went off to Romania. He waited, then went off to Romania to visit her. They got engaged and we are going to the wedding on May 17th about 4 months after they met. And the amazing thing is they are perfect together. Have to say I would worry about not knowing enough about each other, but so far it seems really good and neither has any doubts. By the way, I guess he's just not that into you. Right?

Just to add to that - I do of course respect degrees - it's just that not having one does not make you a failure. As to the 'listening in' bit, that has to be the biggest act of disrespect ever - and to admit to it. I would feel sick listening to such a private conversation - how could KP do such a thing.

What a really inspiring post. I am a team member in the Divine Healing Ministry and it always leaves me in awe when I meet people with terminal cancer with big smiles on their faces and their trust in God there for all to see. I understand what you mean about really living. We take so much for granted when we are well and only appreciate good health when it leaves for a while. Of course I will pray for you and rebuke any disease which remains in your body. I thank God for the joy you are so obviously experiencing. Blessings, Elaine

Greenersky, thank you. I still laugh when I picture it in my mind. Hope you are feeling good - E

I'm not going to comment on your personal life this time as it is just that, but could I suggest that your constant reference to your wife not doing well in life because of her not completing a degree might be upsetting to a lot of people who do not have one. I know people with two degrees who are quite stupid and a lot of people with none who are quite brilliant and very successful. Just a thought. I don't believe a piece of paper showing you have spent 4 years at university proves a thing. My youngest son does not have a degree but is more successful financially than my son with a doctorate. My husband who has been a very respected businessman always looks for drive, ambition and a keen intelligence over a degree. You can make your way to the top without one.

Bon Voyage Brooke on 2008-05-02 03:51:19 |

I only get to watch it now and then as it is one at strange times in the Uk but Brooke is the girl I took to immediately. She wraps up all I like about America, so I'm really sad to hear she has gone. I think it's on here tonight so I shall watch avidly. Thanks for your memories - I enjoyed them.

More importantly, I really pray things will improve for you. I have been really down lately - a sort of melancholy - and I don't have the worries you have. Other people I have spoken to have said the same. There are bright, wonderful days ahead for all of us, so I will say a special prayer for you and I just know you will feel better soon. Love, E

Rose, after we settle into the Beach House, can we go and see this movie together. Oh....and let's forget my diet and eat popcorn and ice cream the whole way through. Let's bring all the girls. Can't wait!

ok - I'm not adding any plaitudes, but I do hope that your Saturday will be much better. I've had a couple of bad days this week so I emphasise. You just enjoy your Saturday and I so hope it is perfect for you.

The rings on 2008-05-01 17:14:14 |
|
My first ring was the only nice piece of jewellry I had at that time, so I held on to it. Because it was remarkably tiny, it fitted my daughter when she was 14 so I gave it to her. She wore it on her middle finger for the first time going water skiing. Somehow, although it was quite tight, it came off her finger and got swept away with the tide. It all seemed rather apt and proper after that.

Of course you're not an emotional mess. You are a girl who is feeling sad and lonely and needs a lot of affection without having to ask for it. This doesn't mean Brian is a bad person, it means you are not on the same wavelength at the moment. We girls (ok so I'm not anymore) have a habit of saying the opposite to what we mean so that we can be persuaded to change our minds. That is not reasonable. You are stating clearly what you want and need but Brian doesn't understand. Sometimes I don't understand myself but I think you need an awful lot of love and affection right now and not getting it in the right way is making you sadder. You need to meet your soul mate. Maybe that is Brian but maybe not right now. You won't have bad memories of him as he has been often kind and loving to you. I wish I could help, I really do, but what a lot of friends you do have. I hope the weekend will be a healing time for you. I will pray for that, if you don't mind. E

Here's something I thought about today when I was doing some spring cleaning which was necessary but boring as hell. Do you believe you could ever see yourself in the future writing to your friends in Thoughts to inform them that everything was going well in your marriage, that you had misjudged your wife, had re thought the situation and now loved her the way you did when you first met and married her? That you could apologise for the way you had talked about her in the past and now wanted them to see her as the good person you now loved? If you can ever see that happening, great, but somehow, and I mean this in the kindest, and not in my usual get at you way, then I don't think there is a lot of hope. Maybe you two have just passed that point of no return and it would be best just to try and remain friends but say goodbye. Maybe you just need to be truly on your own to see things more clearly. I meant this to be helpful and do not mean to be mean. Honest. I just don't think people should go from one relationship to another without time in between. As shemelts would say, peace.

What I want to say . . . on 2008-05-01 13:58:35 |

Prelude - I am married to the sweetest, most thoughtful, kind hearted (and good looking) man in Ireland, but he is impossible when I am sad. He can't stand tears even though I only cry when I am really, really sad. B does the very same thing and even now, as I write, he is in Portugal and I am here and I am still cross with him for not understanding how hurt and upset I was over a few family things. So, you see, no matter what age you are these things happen. I can't explain why your Brian or my Bryan are like that, but it's not our fault. I so want you to be happy, even though I'm not a particularly happy person myself right now. I just know that we can't all give to our partners everything we need. If you get a lot of good compared to the bad, that's a huge bonus. Love, E

Prelude - your background has made it very difficult for you to trust people. I understand that, but to encourage you a little, someone who treated you as tenderly as he did when you told him what you wrote, is a good guy in my books. Sometimes you just have to give a little and silence that voice in your head. We all make mistakes and he made one but owned up. Another brownie point. I do wish you much joy. Love, E

Big hug Pita. You sound as though you are carrying a heavy burden at the moment - wish I could lighten it for you. Let's hope the doctors are able to sort out that headache as it does sound really worrying. On the other hand, she has had a scan so it can't be a tumour. You are such a good friend to her. Bless you
