And you're deep in the "psy...You're a sharp bunch. And you're deep in the "psychology" of these folks.<BR/><BR/>I agree about the "room" assessment. Also Jesse's off-thread comment about the quickness of resolution: It's not resolution, is re-setting the mechanism to how it has worked in the past. I won't give you any more hints, except to say when people live in intimacy, each other's life lessons become partly your own because you set up the relationship between you to accommodate those limits and lessons. <BR/><BR/>What happens over time as people continue to grow and change? We don't have many (if any) role models for that adjustment. How can you more or less outgrow each other and still stay close, figure out a new way to choose one another? Especially when the reason for connection (raising children) has become no longer valid?<BR/><BR/>Kat, I put in the biscuit failure for you. Margie has other skills, as do you.Maggie Jochildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07577090500862823864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3576716365575919550.post-66826085198335429232008-05-19T11:15:00.000-05:002008-05-19T11:15:00.000-05:00I think I agree, Liza.I know what Edwina was talki...I think I agree, Liza.<BR/><BR/>I know what Edwina was talking about, that wall. I do the same thing. I have no idea anything's up, but then, suddenly, I'm face-first in that proverbial wall with a proverbial broken nose and proverbial blood all over the place.<BR/><BR/>I'm very slowly learning how to recognize signs in advance, but they're usually so subtle that I only see them for what they are after the fact.<BR/><BR/>Myra's done infinitely more work than I, though, so maybe she's better at getting herself out.....<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm glad to hear that Margie has trouble making biscuits, too. I have one recipe that works always, but it's super complicated and takes hours. The simple, more traditional recipes always get messed up.kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18268308908367447768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3576716365575919550.post-69238452093784319702008-05-19T05:09:00.000-05:002008-05-19T05:09:00.000-05:00"Well, it's not good enough. Not for me. If you ne..."Well, it's not good enough. Not for me. If you need more room or more help, let's set it up in advance."<BR/><BR/>this is the line that most struck me. If Myra needs ROOM, they all have to set it up in advance? That's not room. That's control. Room is when you can make up your own mind, when you want to go, and then go. Even if it's to your own room.
