Hi All Done! (How convenient, I just had this all ready to submit when I saw your latest response! But again, don't be fooled, I am not really here!)
Anyway, you see, under your very nose is the solution as to how you can prolong and re-live the hijinx between installments! You say:
> I beg, I plead...please don’t go. Reading this thread has been the only thing keeping me going the last few days (okay, perhaps I exaggerate a bit). But I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve gotten angry, I’ve shaved my legs. > In all honesty, though, I must say, you’ve changed my life (again with the exaggeration, All Done!)... Keep posting, okay? Even if you do it in your sleep. We don’t care. We aren’t picky.
>
> With much gratitude,
> All Done <---
<<<< So, you could print it all out, make columns on a page, and feel as if you are there again as you break the material down into categories: the things that made you laugh; the things that made you cry; the things that got you angry; and the things that were so boring that you were able to extricate yourself to shave your legs! (Hubby is grateful for the boring parts then, no?)AND THEN! In between installments, posters can meet back here to compare notes! (But watch out! There will be passionate opinions there, so please keep it civil!) Or maybe Dr. Bob will create a separate board for it all! ;- )
But seriously! I think this may all have helped me identify the best way for me to make ALL my posts pass as readable and interesting, no matter HOW long and in reality serious the material is! I'll make fun of everything I do that's messed up, which is what I prefer anyway! For example:
"I was SO lethargic...."
"HOW LETHARGIC WERE YOU?"
"I was SO lethargic, I bribed the doorman to bring me my mail after two weeks, so I didn't have to get dressed and go downstairs myself!!"
"I was SO lethargic..."
"HOW LETHARGIC WERE YOU?"
"I was SO lethargic, I MAILED my bank deposit so I wouldn't have to get dressed and go there!"
Hmmmm, on second thought, maybe that wouldn't be the same! ;- )
All Done, I must say, as far as whether I'm exaggerating about the mayhem and sloth going on over here due to my procrastination-feeding, Internet-based compulsion to hide from real life, you might be in a unique position to verify whether it's really that bad. OOOPS! I didn't say that, never mind!
BUT moving right along! About me having a hand in "outing" you to your husband. That brings to mind an interesting subject (that may have already been covered in threads before). I had considered starting a thread about it myself someday. However, since I have now admitted to myself that I can't be trusted to initiate anything online that may result in me hovering around even more, I am partially muting myself unless and until either therapy or drugs enable me to do things quicker and to moderate (That may be more likely to happen if I get INTO therapy, or a drug trial, in the first place!)
ANYWAY! The potential subject is, how do people here handle it when they really, really want to refer to this place and the people here, but are talking to someone who they are reasonably sure wouldn't take it seriously or would find it a questionable activity?? (Btw, if you like the topic and it hasn't been done to death before, feel free to take it and run with it!) :- )
But, bottom line, thanks so much for the compliment! : D
