    "Never, never, interrupt me, okay? Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint."

    It's a classic!

    garybuss----not sure if i ever told you, but the things you wrote about family which I read at freeminds was very transformational, liberating and healing for me...so thanks so much for sharing your experiences, thoughts, and feelings!!!

    Thanks Merry, Maybe someday I'll have some successes to share:-) I had hoped my failures helped someone. It helped me to write about them.

    I found it's not healthy for me to stuff grief and disappointment. As my life goes on my life gets better. Maybe I have lowered my expectations. I think I have. I'm trying to be a rational, objective human and I have accepted my losses as unchangeable by me. When I focus on the problem, I just understand the problem better. When I focus on the solution, I live in the solution.

    I found I was neglecting the nice family members while I was grieving over the nasty family members and wishing in vain they would quit being nasty even though some of those had been nasty for over a decade. Now I just say, bye bye nasty, don't bother coming back.
