Hey Donna! Thanks so much for the comment. It is good to be back. There will be an email in your inbox from me this afternoon... You're definitely right about knowing when to walk away. It was horrible and painful and neither of us really wanted to do it, but it's done now and it's time to get on with things. Onwards and upwards and all that! Heya Maso! I have actually been thinking a lot about the very point that y
Heya Shovelheat, That means so much coming from you! I haven't been around here as much as I used to so there have been few, if any, comments from me recently. However, I have always been in awe of your writing which makes an insightful from you mean a lot to me. Anyway - enough of the mutual admiration society... I'm glad that this made sense to someone that wasn't me! I'm sure you'll agree, but I find that the articles I look back o
Mercifully I find that I am too tired to care anymore. I feel as though I should, as though I should pay proper tribute to whatever it is that happened, to grieve all the many ways it died. But then you can’t have funerals for the imaginary. It’s not so much the reality of the situation that hurts, but the death of the dream. I don’t think that the nuts a
You know how you mean to get in contact with someone, but it's been a while and you feel a little uncomfortable? So you put it off a little longer because you feel really weird about not having spoken to them and worry that they are annoyed with you. Then you worry more as it has now been so long that you don't feel that you have a right to encroach on their space. So you don't do anything except worry about not having spoken to them and having been a
I've also done it and I kinda like it - I suppose in the fact that it is something different and seems kinda naughty. Or something. Like Tex said, it won't get you off, but it adds some kind of excitement. Having said that, I wouldn't want to be doing it every time I had sex. Depending on the size of your partner it can leave you a little sore the next day! Anyway - that's my two cents! Good question
I don't have time to write a proper response, but I have to say that the weirdest story I know is when my auntie found out that her husband was cheating on her. Did she find a love note? Lipstick on the collar? Some strange transactions on his credit card statement? No. She recieved a call from the local hospital telling her that her husband's reverse vasectomy has been a success and that he was ready for visitors. Reverse vasectomy? When had
Hey! I know you probably won't read this as it seems you've not blogged in a while, but CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I imagine that the morning sickness has calmed down by now and you are looking amazing. Good luck! Suz xxx
Hey! Just read all your little articles. I like your philosophy a lot. I especially liked the poem about what life is and isn't. It's a shame that more people haven't left you comments! Anyway - welcome (I know you've been here for a while, but it's still nice to be welcomed!) Suz xxx
Three times???? Damn JU
This is where you could have read the same comment again - because it's just that good!
I'm half with you Migs. I love geeks (I have to - I'm one myself!) but only the ones with social skills. I know a few 'lovable' geeks that i feel more sorry for than affection. But I'm sure that there is a geeky girl out there that will love them too! Maso - Sounds like you're a catch! You have a lucky wife.
*sigh* I wish this whole public liability thing didn't make me so angry. Are they going to fence off my favourite national park just so I don't fall off a cliff? And will I be able to sue the government for providing the roads on which I've had an accident? When I was growing up my parents taught me to take responsibility. When I fell off a bike going down a huge hill they gave me sympathy, but also taught me the lesson about safety a
Heya Maso, Thanks for reading. It's good to be back. I don't know where my particular brand of writer's block came from, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! I made a decision with my attitude and am happy to have bothered to have made the choice. In my particular situation it would have been easy to feel sorry for myself, feeling dejected, humiliated and angry. However, we all know where those feelings lead us and exactly how muc
Gee - not too many things have made me proud to be an Australian lately, but this is something that I'm glad that my country stands for - safe sex with a sense of humour! Perhaps we should be giving them gratis to our politicians - perhaps it would help them chill out (pun intended and not ) And having been in an intimate encounter involving a glow-in-the-dar
Hey Cordelia, Sorry - shunned was too strong a word! What a hide I have thinking I can disappear for months on end and have people notice my return. Give me a minute while I deflate my rather enlarged cranium! I know what you mean about not giving new things a go. I almost pre-empt the embarrassment I think I'll feel by not being able to master something immediately that I simply don't really try. Hence my poor guitar gathering dust i
If you would actually READ what the bible says about sin, you would see that what you are talking about is wrong. MythicalMino, darling - the whole point is that a lot of us see the bible as a tonne of phooey. We are not going to take it into our hearts. We are also not going to deny your right to belie
You've just completely summed me up. Wait until you get older and your boyfriends have to learn to deal with the fact that the majority of your close friends are men. In my case very attractive, highly successful men. It's a good test of who to keep and who to kick to the curb! Good on you for being a kick arse birl or goy!
Hey Teegs, Thanks for the welcome back - it's good to be back! I think I needed a good old rest from JU for a while. And sometimes I think it takes some emotional turmoil to get me writing... Thanks so much for the kind words. To be honest, a lot of what I've written has almost been to talk myself into the attitude that I want to have, rather than the one that I do. So I suppose it isn't quite an accurate reflection of what's going on
I love watching little kids ski. The pure enjoyment plastered across their faces reminds me of what is so good about life, if you just give it a chance. They fall down and perhaps hurt themselves, but never let this stop them from continuing. The fact that they fall over doesn’t really seem to phase them as though they have the greater understanding that you aren’t
Hey. Thank you so much for your reply to my rambling, complaining blog! I really love the first quote - I think that I shall be using that as my mantra from now on. The whole power balance situation in relationships is totally beyond my comprehension. I too used to be too proud to let anyone know how I felt and made a conscious decision to change it. Now I'm wondering if it was such a brilliant idea! I've kind of come to the conclus
Which Historical Lunatic Are You? From the fecund loins of Rum and Monkey. I can never get these damned links to work! I'm Charles the Mad of France. Delightful!
It’s all still too fuzzy for me to understand clearly. I’ve been myopic about the whole ridiculous situation, naively believing that I can somehow make it into what I want it given enough effort and finesse. Sadly, my own lack of power has become increasingly apparent. I’ve had the information all along, but allowed myself to hope – and hope in the same j
I claim to be clever, but I’m really quite stupid. As you said, you told me from the start and I guess I didn’t want to listen. However, I’m not going to take 100% responsibility for this. If you didn’t behave towards me how you do, then I wouldn’t have followed this small glimmer of hope. Your friends have hit the nail on the head with their little nickname for me.
Hey powder, Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. I've been taking a break from the computer lately and getting out to have a real life - something I kind of forgot existed! I hope all's well and I should see you back on the boards soon Suz xxx
Interesting list my dear. Now for my additions (and subtractions in some cases) I agree with you about the Vines - the couple of times I've seen them they have been a total disappointment. Although they do write some catchy pop tunes. Jet has never really impressed me much - especially given that 'Are you gonna be my girl' is a direct rip off of 'lust for life'. I didn't really get any energy from them when I saw them either. Although I can ap
