Attachment Issues

[Pencil]

" Oh, that's easy, you just do a crap job on most of it, and you don't do the "invisible" things at all!"

That's it! My new motto. I've been doing it all along, but felt crap about it. Now I'll do it with impunity. Eleanor, if I get any flak, I'll blame you :cool:

finding similarities and then am able to communicate them better to my T

Rumors, does this mean I can pose questions that you can ask her, and you can then report back to me :D

I've decided to start a diary - for two reasons:

1. This thread is now going all over the show, and I love it, but if I start a diary I can really run around with total freedom
2. A diary is for members only, and I've started really flashing my underwear around here.

I hope everyone who has been so generous with their time, insight, common sense and caring on here will continue to do so over there ... ?

Pencil, I don't think you are doing what you thought we were doing at all. (If that makes any sense, which, it might not?)

Thanks!

Sure enough, pencil. We can work on this together!!! ;)
