Re: thanks for the read, dear TAPS!
Everyone should be so lucky to get a dear old Da like our Kabu. I loved my Daddy with all my heart, but he had set me up without either of us knowing what his little self-ranting was doing to either one of us. I picked out men who were so like him. .

Great lecture, LadyCeeMarie. No matter what the stressor, the analogy is a good one for it.

Oh Kabu-
That is SO SO good to know!! Surely you have a blessed life ahead of you then. Your ol' Da is watching over you. I am so happy for you, I really am.

Re: Thank you, Sam-
I think our inhibitions go away in slumber. We always wake up in a tangle of arms and legs, which is the new sex of our 50s I think. My daughter
does look at the possibility of not going forward; there is not any date set. But I agree with you. He'll be lonely if he wants me to be around to pick up his pieces; guess I proved that point once and it was enough. Self-preservation IS what it's about for each of us. We make up our beds and it's our choice whether or not we sleep there or decide to sleep elsewhere. Thank you for the thumbs up on being positive. I constantly strive to find that silver lining in every storm cloud!

Such candor. My daughter is currently dating a man like her father, it is not good. I think you are right to escape his reality because you have so many issues of your own. Being empathic does not mean assume another's burden or meet their expectation of what they desire. Take care of you. Remaining positive is what I admire most about you! sam

Lady Cee, my AL is not perfect...tho she looks it.I'm far from good, either
I pray U will get over Mike. Forgive me, and thanking U again and again, for becoming one of the best friends ANYONE can have live or online...I pray U will DECIDE to get rid of MIKE. He does not deserve YOU or YOUR honoring him such. Neither should he share any limelight/matrimonial space with Jay, despite Jay's shortcomings. I know we all carry a little glass of water for afr too long...but why do U carry this glass called Mike willingly? He may have been delicious, he may fulfil a part of woman that is taken for granted by husbands...I pray U have courage to gforgive Jay and walk away from Mike. Mike is really the man-type that abuses, serially, one woman after another... and may raise weak daughters. I pray not. Shalom.... thanks for praying for me, AL, and my Mom. Namasthe Dearest One (why did I not meet U in the 1960s? The U would be honoring me as much as Mike!!! lol)

Re: Thank you, Jen!
It can be said, I do not hide myself from my Blogit family, new and old, to be sure. Mike split with me Dec. 20, 2005 and I joined Blogit the very next day and let my heart bleed all over the place, for the next YEAR! When everyone had read just about enough of my adventures with Mike, Punstar (Neil), the sweet, non-judgemental peaceful soul that he is, came to my rescue. He wrote that he "discovered me" before TAPS. He steered me toward his Haiku group and I became a groupie. I wrote my Chicken haikus and had a blast. My heart mended exponentially. If you had a positive influence emerge from my tale of middle-aged rebellion, then I am pleased that I got it off my chest, once more, again and again (and will I ever get over the Mike-man;
probably not....)
