Re: Mind's Eye New Google Groups is Dumb,but this not the subject

Yes- I laughed.//I did the right thing but explained it crudely. If I
were to unwind the whole thing I might as well write fiction! :-) This
was a friendship- not a romance- that has often gone awry. Why?
Because certain comments start building up to present an attitude I
want to avoid but it takes a while for me to "get it". Why? Because of
old habits I was raised with, I guess, prior to women's lib about
confrontation with men and authority figures. Eventually, I react but
it might not be the real reason until I think it through- which drives
some people crazy about the ways of men and women. On the other hand,
I've known wives who edit everything- forever- to keep things safe and
tidy.//I don't care to "adopt" anyone at this point- esp. a 65 year
old dude with some cranky ideas. This is being kind to myself- which
is often harder than one thinks.
