ORIGINAL: Kaliko This. But then I thought about it a for a few moments, wondering if I really consider it to be "service." Pleasing, yes. But service? I considered that when he's not in the mood for discussion, it doesn't happen. It's his call. I can usually at least have a fair go at engaging his mind, but only when he's in the mood for it. It's maybe in my nature to take his cue and not force a discussion he's not in the mood for. But I'm still hesitating on "service" when it does happen. Don't all forms of service only happen when he wishes them to? I think just by virtue of us, being human there are times when even discussion isn't welcome. My own personal reasons for this, aside, just like other people, I am not always in the mood for intellectual discourse. Either she recognizes that (usually) or I gently let her know that I am just not in the mood for it, at that moment. It's still up to me whether or not she engages with me, in that fashion. What it all comes down to, for me, is that it is infinitely more desirable to have a lady in my life that has the ability to engage me in such a way so that when it's wanted (usually), it is easily accessible. It's kind of like: I like to cook and I prefer to do the cooking (big "Thank you"s to my grandmothers), but it's nice to have a lady that can cook (to my likes and standards) so that I can say: "Why don't you make something, tonight?" and know that I am still going to enjoy my meal. I absolutely consider that a service but it only happens, when I wish it. Michael
