Hi, Michele!
Yep, it’s Monday again. (Blech!) Apparently the US is still bombing Afghanistan. Needless to say, I was more than a little depressed about that yesterday evening. Like you, I don’t want to talk about it much; I could not bear to watch another moment of Peter Jennings and his somber face.
My site is down again?!?! Thanks for including the error message that you get. I’ve tried to get onto the site today and it worked. I wonder if it’s giving me a version of the page that’s saved on this computer. I need to go to the library and check how it appears. I need to hurry up and get my own domain name and start my own site. I just wonder if my tech skills are up to that.
On the Angel site I found two mean messages telling me the site looks like "shite." For pete’s sake - if they’re going to insult me they could at least spell it correctly! The good thing about that guestbook is that such entries are very easy to delete. You know, I really don’t see how people that like Angel don’t like that site. Okay there’s a lot of girlie pink/flowers/etc. But if they could just deal with the background a minute and look at what’s on the site: there are over 200 pictures of David. There’s plenty of fanfiction to read, episode reviews, a message board, the Question of the Moment. I just don’t get it. I’d like to tell those people, "Don’t like it? Well, don’t let the virtual door hit your butt on the way out!" Oh well. Wasn’t it Abe Lincoln that said, "You can’t please all of the people all of the time"?
Happy Day! We got our tests back today! What was my grade? Aaaaayyyyyyyy! (You know, like the Fonz always says . . .) It’s a miracle! I may cry!
Is this day a roller coaster ride of emotion or what?
Oh, I can testify about the "love high" point that you mentioned. It is so true and I agree 100% that it is critical to date at least a year before marriage for that reason. Imagine trying to build a relationship on those "love high" feelings which are also partly "In love with the idea of love" feelings. It’s like you said, just a physical reaction. Through in a little infatuation and you have very intense but very unstable and temporary feelings.
Let me share some more "bookmark" wisdom with you: "don’t marry the one that you can live with; marry the one that you can’t live without." I think that is so true. I know when I’d *briefly* think of marrying some loser I was dating (and I can’t emphasize enough that these were very brief, infrequent thoughts) I would be, like, "Whatever." I could definitely take it or leave it; I mostly saw myself leaving it! I think we’ve mentioned this before; ask yourself before marrying, "Am I excited at the idea of a marriage or just at the thought of my wedding?" In my case, the answer was just "excited at the thought of a wedding." And that is definitely not enought to build on. After the "high" of the wedding there’s no place to go but down. Imagine some BLECH guy wanting to BLECH with you?
Oh, yes. I had my dentist appointment on Friday. Some new bigoted lady was cleaning my teeth although the same hygienist lady that’s always done it was there. What’s the story on that, I wonder. I told the new lady and then the dentist that I didn’t want any bad news. (You’ve got to lay down the law for these guys!) I fully expected the doctor to tell me another cavity needed to be filled. He said, "Well, we’ll see you in six months. How’s that?" That will work!
That’s it for today. I’ll talk to you soon! God bless!
Anne
God bless the USA!
PS: Happy Columbus Day!
That reminds me of that Bugs Bunny cartoon about Christopher Columbus. I love the part where "Chris" is trying to convince the king that the world is round. "She’s a-round! Like my head!" he says. BONK!! The king hits Chris in the head with a pan and replies, "She’s flat like your head."
