    I confess that I let a person with whom I have had no meaningful contact in almost six months control a disproportionate share of my thoughts and actions.

    Although this has waned over the last month or so I still allow it to fester. I have taken steps to throw this person out of my life for good and to keep them far far away from me. Sadly I am not sure what to do to "slay the dragon" and remove all the remnants of this person once and for all.

    It's a frustrating feeling. I hate it.

    Unfortunately I don't think you can remove all remnants..but you do seem to get to a place where they dont seem to bother you ..takes a long time though. Years in my case.

    I agree with Slim. You may not be able to force the person out of your thoughts, but you can stop the snowball effect. When you become aware that you are thinking of the person, change your thought to something else. The more often you do this, I think the less you'll focus on the nemesis. As I often say, Don't chase that rabbit! Think on other things.

    I used to tell myself that he was winning if everytime time I thought about him I got angry or had negative emotions. I couldn't have that..I'd be stuffed if I was going to let him have control of my peace of mind....So ...you are right I tried to focus on other things and over time ..I realised he rarely entered my thoughts.

    Jo, it's how I've gotten through this past year without seriously grieving over the loss of my Mom (also my best friend), 2 uncles, and others. Just don't chase the rabbit, keep eyes forward, and keep on moving.

    I've cried a couple times, but overall, haven't grieved the way others KNEW I would.

    Sorry to hear of so many losses :* .. I can't even imagine the pain and loss..hugs..

    Mine was an exhusband ....I knew I'd moved ahead when I stopped thinking up horrible ways for him to meet his maker :/

    That's a good move on your part! Don't waste such energy and thoughts on the likes of him. You're too good for that :)

    I must confess I've been up since 3am and have gone through every emotion in 3hrs.

    Currently in 'agitated' mode.....possibly soon to be followed by utterly frustrated.

    :(

    I'll likely be up until 3am going through the rest of the emotions I missed today.

    I confess I'm sick of men and their midlife crises. Thinking that they can send me what ever they like and then they get mad at me for telling them to *kitten* off, go back to bed with their wives and leave me the *kitten* alone.
    Then they tell me I have no sense of humor cause I don't wanna sext, flirt or send them nude pictures of me or my pole dancing videos.
    This may come off as arrogance but I'm not here or on instagram to flirt and the next dick pic I'll get will be posted on my instagram with the person tagged on it for his friends and family to see.

    You go girl!!!!!!!

    Have you ever sent a D pic back to a guy to freak him out? I think that is my next move. From now on when guys send the D I will send another one right back and say "mine is bigger". Hahaha. Bet that stops that crap right away.

    HA! That is a great idea!

    I confess that today I decided (out of absolutely nowhere) that I would love to take some kind of dance class. Swing maybe? I really have no idea. I just want to do it. I don't know if you have to take a partner though and I don't know of anyone who would be even remotely interested. So I will probably wuss out and not do it :/

    You s should totally do this. I always want to take dance classes but lack of a partner makes me chicken out. I think most say people without partners are welcome but then you might end up dancing with another woman or if you're lucky the instructor. I say go for it!

    Me too! I've been wanting to take salsa lessons for years! I don't think they even offer the classes around here. So I settle for Zumba. LOL

    Most definitely do it! Every time I feel like I am starting to chicken out of things, I watch some Yes Man. Best movie ever to make you do *kitten* lol.
    Most good places usually couple you with someone, I wouldn't worry about going there alone. It's going to be weird at first but meh who cares, enjoy it! Annd of course share your jazz hand moves with us when you do.

    Everyday now we have peregrine falcons hanging out in our giant tree. While they are beautiful and thankfully now off the endangered list I'm not sure I want to be finding little bits of whatever they eat falling from my tree. Although I do suspect they are to thank for seeing less squirrels and raccoons around lately.

    I confess that I didn't like the Halo ice cream. I thought it was too sweet. However, I wouldn't throw it out of my freezer. Well, unless I had to make room for vodka.

    Maybe add some corn flakes to it?

    You need more protein

    Yep. More protein. The answer is rarely less.
