Hey, JD, things are slow here.

I kinda noticed. Sour, I been missing everyone. How is everyone doing ?

 

[Bunnylady]

How is everyone doing ?

Eh, comme ci comme ça. Hoping that the piece of dead tree that I just heard falling fell in our yard rather than the neighbor's.

Well around here it's hot and dry, I still have my daily battle with Meneire's, trying to figure out the whole balance of the marriage thing out too. Ah ci es....it is what it is.

Living in a sauna here - well, when it's 80° and 100% humidity and dawn, it can feel like that. Heyy, only a 30% chance of rain today (adjusted from the 70% that was forecast a couple of days ago)

Good luck on figuring out the 'marriage thing'. 53 years into the 'marriage thing' and have decided that acceptance is the only way. "Yes dear, you're right dear, I'm sorry dear." The wise man's guide to a long term relationship. The me of 53 years ago would look at the me of today and say, "What happened to you, boy?"

*sigh* Sour is right. For most folks, a lot of the time, marriage is like a car - one driver, one passenger. The passenger may do the navigating, and a wise driver will listen to their directions, but there is only one driver (at least, one at a time). Someone once defined compromise as "a situation where everybody is equally unhappy, and nobody gets what they want;" sometimes, there is no reachable middle ground. Harmony usually depends on one person subjugating their own will to that of their spouse. "This may not make sense to me, but it seems to be important to you, so that's what we are going to do." (When you think about it, in music harmony consists of one melody, and notes that complement the melody. Notes played without regard for the melody is dissonance and discord, which is often painful)

Bunny, you're not only funny, I see you are very wise too.

I feel sorry for the folks in Central America; it looks like Harvey is headed their way.

 

[sourland]

Sorry indeed.
