One-sided

“Accident” my ass. Any dime-store psychologist would say it was done intentionally, albeit subconsciously.
I’m posting this from Florida. The last day of a family holiday to Harry Potter-world. A big hit with my daughters while being just a financial hit for me. Anyway…it’s not winter here and it doesn’t look like it ever will be. Blue sky. Sunny and warm. I’m not impressed. That sort of thing gets old, and I’m not kidding.
Good luck on the date. I expect a full report. Don’t get all private on us.
Well, the text was a genuine mistake. I honestly didn’t fancy an argument to go with the lovely coal fire.
I wondered who the new poster from Florida was. Glad your daughters like it – if the children like it, peace and harmony reigns.
I have come to like Lancaster’s climate, even on days like this, with one band of rain making dinner hour a sodden one, and another heading this way just to the west of the area on this radar picture.
i am officially in the “Good Gawd, Trina! Go directly to the local ‘lost and found’ and see if you can recover your self-respect” camp… i concur on the ‘reading of private letters’ thing - it is tough to forgive that one…
Also looking forward to your report on the date with the tall woman. For gods sake, don’t open with jokes about ‘how’s the weather up there’ or references to basketball. a simple “nice tits” would be better…
It’s the lack of awareness of how she has not simply overstepped the mark, but taken a triple jump beyond it, that puzzles me. And then, having made that clear to her over the letter to Donna – she says that she’s read *another* letter, this time from Mary-Ann.
Long Tall Sally works in a male-dominated industry so has no doubt heard all those before. If her pictures are a reliable indicator of her looks, it won’t be difficult finding a couple of understated compliments.
I just don’t get the reading peoples stuff…
that became a major argument point in our household once, just after I got sober. Now to be fair whilst I was off in the countryside trying to reaffirm myself as a human being that could exist for more than 24 hours without libation and sticking my head in a bee infested lavender plant in an attempt to find my “Higher power” (I just got stung several times) she did have to take over the running of all finances etc etc. but…
She continually opened mail addressed to me. “It looked important” - “well ask me first by text or phone” “You have something to hide” “I have nothing to hide but require respect"… she just didn’t get it when my son moved to uni that when a letter arrived that looked important I’d call him up saying “There is a letter. Looks like it is from hospital/doctor/dentist/bank/student finance/uni etc. Do you want me to forward it or open it?” He always said open it - she didn’t get why I thought that important. Also why when her phone pings with a text I take the phone to her not read it as she still does with mine… with the “Who is xxx? Why are you meeting them Friday?” “Friday is AA business meeting isn’t it. I’m given xxx a lift there she needs to talk about yyy"… distrust is a dirty thing…
PS Oh - good luck on the date and future developments with Donna.
PPS can I come round yours for a roast lunch? ;-)
I quite agree F. It’s absolutely unacceptable. I would never, ever, dream of opening someone else’s letters or looking at their phone. I’ve had two women do that to me. Frances hijacked my phone and texted Denise saying “Fancy a fuck?” and now Trina has read two full sides of A4 to Donna and a letter from Mary-Ann. Like you say, the most difficult thing, as with your wife, is that they don’t understand why that is so utterly wrong.
Donna’s tending a new bloke at the moment and things seem to be going well. I will always be fond of her and desire her happiness. And desire her, full stop.
You’d be very welcome any day for a roast dinner. Vegetarian mind, but I’d be surprised if you didn’t enjoy it. If you were coming, I’d do the special nut roast, the one with a layer of prunes soaked in cognac in the middle, like Kirsty’s dad used to make.
