Persistance - an admirable trait that helps one to achieve goals, but please note - it is NOT a virtue I admire when you've been told 'no' at least three times already with comments as to why 'no' has been said and what it would take to make the answer 'yes'. Constant badgering is not one of those things. If you want something that badly, then find a compromise. By not changing anything in regards to circumstances, and persisting in asking the same question, over and over, you are showing that you don't care.
This is the attitude of a Prima Donna (aka Spoiled Brat) and I don't care to cater to it. It proves to me that you don't really care about my problems/concerns/life choices.
Note: If it has been snowing all morning, and by 10:00 the highways are snow covered/drifting snow and visibility is down to 'fair', and it's still snowing, and is expected to continue to snow for most of the day or longer, then NO, I'm not going to be going anywhere - especially to a function that you've been told several times is to late for Me! I've asked for it to start a bit earlier. You said 'no' because a certain person can't get there until late. What's stopping you from showing up early (like you do on days that this person doesn't come) and spending time with me (and whomever else wishes to show early) and then sticking around until the later people show up. You get to see me, you get to see them and everybody is relatively happy. But you haven't even thought of that. Because, as you are showing me, I'm not worth creating a compromise for.
After everything we've been through and everything that I've done for you, from small things to big (and none of those things selfishly put you in any danger) - this is your response? To be peevish because I'm not a party-type person or a night owl? And you still have the nerve to call yourself my friend? Are you mentally challenged? Remember when you asked me to tell you if/when you were being over-powering in the relationship? Well, here it is.
I am not a sycophant. For anybody. For anything. Get out of my life and don't come back until you are ready to be my friend again.
And that's all I have to say about that.
I got a call from the doctor's office yesterday. They are dragging me in again - this time to discuss the results of those tests I took. Why can't they tell me things over the phone??? If the tests show nothing, or at least, nothing new, then I'm going to be upset. No more hit or miss tests. Either he knows what I need, or he knows of a test that can find what's wrong faster and covering more of the bases. No more drugs. My body won't deal with anymore drugs that I don't need. He's killing my hair!
Bosh and bother! I'm tired of quacks.
So I'm passing white blood cells - so what? I'm not experiencing any pain or discomfort. I feel fine. Hasn't anybody heard of the 'wait and see' scenario? If I'm passing white blood cells, then it appears to me that my body is dealing with whatever it is. Leave it alone!
I'm slowly getting things into their proper spaces ... some books have come out, my desk has been tidied ... a few things have been put on the cork board (mostly to get it off my desk), statues have been unpacked, stuffed animals/friends have been retrieved. My office area is slowly getting organised ... it's not fun trying to get two rooms worth of stuff unto one shelf, but I'm managing. How? Magic. 'Nuff said.
I'm trying to find my picture hooks so that I can hang stuff up!! I've got the pictures spread out in the house, waiting to be hung. I wanna see what it looks like beforeI 'hang' others. It all has to feel a certain way, you know?
When I'm not working on the house or trying to relax on the computer, I'm doing exercises. I do a minimum of 40 crunchies/day and then spontaneous movements here and there. Touching toes, twisting, stretching - working the muscles in all areas and keeping the blood pumping. I've been playing with Spot alot too - which just thrills him! Gonna kill myself running around on this wood floorone day though. Death by fuzzy sock.
Hey, it beats death by a bucket of water!
I like this beta so far. I liek it very mcuh. I'd like it better if it didn't have sign in issues. Anyway, I was reviewing my entires and looking at how many achieved comments, when I came across one that I meant to go back to and never did. I think I'm ready now. Remember your promise to use this on your sites.
The original went as follows ...
If you comment on this post:
1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll challenge you to try something.
3. I'll pick a colour that I associate with you.
4. I'll tell you something I like about you.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.
8. If I do this for you, it would be appreciated if you posted this on yours.

1. It's difficult to take a man seriously when he appears to be named after an emoticon.
2. I challenge you to open your mind to other possibilites, even if it means shaking up your comfort zone.
3. Difficult to do since we've never met in person, but green usually comes to mind.
4. Your clever with when we're in the Tub together. ;)
5. Friendly words on a screen. I looked forward to talking with you every time you came online.
6. Again, difficult to do without meeting, but a large dog comes to mind ... not sure what breed though. Sorry, not a wolf.
7. Where were you born exactly and why did you go to America?
8. Your turn.

A bit difficult given my current state of mind but I'll do my best to be fair.
1. I don't think I know you anymore, but I'm glad your changes work for you.
2. I challenge you to sit with a meditation candle and quietly remember those who love you ... and act accordingly.
3. The shading changes now and then, but you've always been a red to me, darling. Usually a deep, dark red.
4. You don't let tough times get you down - you worked with them when you couldn't overcome them and you made things work. You rarely lose control and when you make a bad decision, you admit it and face it and learn from it. I've always admired this about you.
5. You always put the strangest things in your hair to hold it up. I remember when a chopstick gave you a sliver in your scalp. You helped me bring some good things into my stale life. Thank you
6. I've never been able to pinpoint an animal for you. I'll give it more thought.
7. I already openly ask you things ... I guess my current question is "Why aren't you responding to anything??"
8. This was originally yours ... did anybody else do it?
Okay ... I fulfilled my promise. I'm all wiped out now. Time to get going and move on to something else. Lots to do before I die. (Whcih won't be today or the doctor would have set an earlier appointment!)
Sweet Dreams!
Awesome post young lady, I loved the comments and I will definately post this on mine. Give me a few days to get some thoughts together. Green lol, i have to laugh at that. My fav color is blue, but I wear green a lot. I get made fun off by wearing my Irish colors being scottish lol
