Comment on Impact by moonspun

Hi yourself…
I know what you mean, though. That feeling that lil ole me could a) be remembered for a long time by anyone and 2) have had any impact on their lives at all. I mean, how could I be that important.
I just got a nice e-mail from a former rockin’ assistant of mine who said he was going to work on Monday to instill something in his team that I’d taught him years ago. I was touched!
and so yea, you totally miss those ‘interested’ looks. I’ve seen them. Then again so does my handsome hubby, he has no idea anyone besides me would have anything but pure and benign thoughts about him!

I can see being envious of the occasional divorced parent who actually has a non-shitty arrangement worked out. Let’s face it, I am not suffering by any reasonable definition.

But was it fun getting here? Not so much! Would I trade my present circumstances for a better marriage that didn’t need to end? Um… assuming I somehow got exactly the same awesome kid and circumstances conspired to ensure I still took up salsa at some point… probably. That’s a tough one.

I don’t think I’d trade either. My “me” time is when they’re safely tucked in their beds for the night. Most days I’m ok with that.

I was separated for a year, and yeah…those things you mentioned can be nice. But it sucks in a BIG way to have the kids gone. So you’re right to not want to trade.

I have a full week ahead of me in which I have free nights that will make it easily possible for me to complete a 25 page paper on time and be done with my homework. Still, I’d prefer to lose sleep if only my daughter was here this week and I hadn’t shut her door last night when I came home and felt that “click” of deflation in my heart as the door closed. The time is a mixed blessing.
I will say, though, that always chosing time with my daughter over even a small amount of couple-time with my ex had a devastating and long term affect on our relationship. It wouldn’t have made a difference in the end to where we are now. But it certainly wasn’t healthy for anyone. Hindsight is 20/20, right?
I do wonder if we all have kids that we intend to raise in an intact family until they are grown, why so many of us become blended families. That’s a big, big question with no easy answers.

Comment on Anti-social networking by Tommy B. Goode

But you can ignore a Facebook friend request, and nothing happens if you do… there’s no “OMG so and so hasn’t responded THAT BITCH!” automatic update to the original requester. (:

Also, you can drop someone with virtually no drama as long as they have enough friends to not notice a tiny change the number, as Facebook doesn’t tell you when someone drops you.

In fact, they also have a firm policy forbidding third party FB applications from telling people about friend-dropping. A really attentive person could figure it out, but as a general rule, Facebook actually is pretty good about this sort of thing. They aren’t perfect by any means but I have to give them a solid score when it comes to helping you avoid iffy “Friends.”

it’s sickeningly addictive (Facebook, that is, not drama llamas of any color) which is half of the battle.

I suppose it would be satisfying in a sick, petty way, to friend and unfriend people who annoy me: oh the unbridled power!

Thanks for visiting me ladies!

I have summarily ignored several requests from high school. I just can’t go there….it’s not even about forgiveness, I just don’t want to remember. And I am ok with the fact that I don’t care about them. And I have unfriended several people…especially if there are people who I find annoying on facebook. (Present company excepted!) After all isn’t MY page for ME????

Oh my goodness yes! Just recently I had a bunch of people from my high school days friend me on Facebook. And while I’d love to think we’re past those days, all I can think of is “wow..you treated me like crap back then, and now you want to know me?”

I’ve just started deleting them all again. Drama be damned.

Considering I can’t get beyond a simple scarf pattern without screaming, I’m extremely impressed with anyone who can knit an actual garment, let alone a garment with a design in it! Will you be posting photos of the finished product?
