wow... there's a lot of scared people out there. laughing my back door won't lock (I have a new doorknob but keep forgetting to change it out) and I have no weapons in the house, much less every room and pocket. Wait, that's not entirely true...but they're in the kitchen and in order to get to the rest of the house, someone's going to have to pass through the kitchen first, so I guess I'm out of luck that way too. Come to think of it, a gun wouldn't work anyway. If I shot from my room out to the living room and missed, it'd go through the wall right to where my son and daughter's rooms, so that's definitely out as well. In fact, I can't remember the last time I locked my doors - oh wait...there was that time when I was 16 and my parents told me to be home by 11 and I didn't make it till 1. The doors were locked then. I remember looking at the door wondering why in the world it wouldn't open. The idea that it was locked was such a strange concept to me that it didn't even occur to me right away. And I guess I locked it at the beginning when my ex was... rather upset... about me filing for divorce, but that's it. And I hail from around the Detroit area. Strange. juliet

quote: ORIGINAL: Phoenix2raven HottLicks, thank you for your long and thoughtful post. you ask good questions! my former partner accused me of using my illness to get out of doing "real work," but Sir and i have discussed that ... he says he felt that way early in the relationship, but then he watched me and saw that it wasn't the case. actually i get into doing too much, always seeking something to do even if i'm stuck in bed, which is why i have the standing orders not to over-do things. we're still discussing the issue ... he said he's posted to this thread and i'm plugging my way through it, sort of dreading it lol but not really, it's all good because we'll have even more to discuss. your thoughtful post brings up a lot of very good questions i can ask of Sir. Whew... lol... I am sooooooo glad that things aren't going in the direction it first seemed they were! I can't help it. After years of working with my own problems and then with so many other's... you can tend to get a bit jaded or can jump the gun so to speak. But I tend to go there first because I believe it is best to be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best! Thank you both for not being offended! It is very difficult for some to understand exactly what it is like to live with health issues in everyday life and even more so when dealing with bdsm. Life is challenging in and of itself, but add the dynamic's of trust in a situation where things often don't make sense and you have some wonderfully challenging moments! lol There are some illnesses, such as fibromyalgia, cfs, lupus, MS, neuro things, just to name a few, that have one thing that is consistant... inconsistancy. One never knows what the day or each moment will bring. It can make a person seem to be many things they are not and many are not good. One can get tired of being treated by others, based on what they might think they see and hear, going on what they might see at different times. Yet, if one takes the time, in most cases, they will see a person struggling to find ways to live despite the illness and often times they will push far too hard. Far too hard one moment can mean little, the next moment can mean days or months in bed. There is just no way to know and it can cause great hardship and broken hearts if everyone isn't tuned in so to speak. I do wish you both well and if you ever want to chat about the challenges, I am up to it... some days... lol I've got some challenges right now, I could live without! lol Oh well... a challenge is just one more way to find your way through and what could end with some great stuff. Just gotta get to the middle or end of one to see it sometimes. Hang in there!
