Now, if I could only type accurately!! Obviously, I meant to say "We are all ridiculous IN so many ways!!" Because one of my most ridiculously limiting traits is perfectionism, I needed to point that out! Emile shows flashes of, um, I don't want to say brilliance, but that post that several people noticed caught my eye, as well. I think it is naive to believe that if we only encourage him, he will continue to show this part of himself, but still I hope that is the case. One requisite for a personality that I do not view askance is a good sense of humor. I think that it lies at the core of resilience. It is hard to be resilient unless one can see the absurdity or ridiculousness of everyday life. Cockroaches in your kitchen are a sign of natural processes at work. We could argue forever whether there is a God who created them. However, I suspect we both agree that catching up on your rotting old dirty dishes is a pragmatic strategy for solving the problem. I don't have any cubs, except the teenage blonde girl cub who is still sleeping while I type quietly in another room. She went to her first high school dance last night, which was very exciting for here and yet another reminder that time is passing quickly, and I need a retirement strategy! Obviously, stocks is not a workable one, since I am not very good at choosing them. The people who hang out here all enjoy each other in some perverse way, or we would not all be here! We suck up each others' energy and all get off on it somehow. Since some of us have been alternatively amusing and horrifying each other for a couple of years, obviously there is a symbiotic process which is mutually beneficial. Since you seem to need a den mother, I will briefly play the role to please you. I am quite serious in admonishing you to clean up that filthy kitchen before you write one more post. Our living environments reflect us, and at some point your mind will become infested as well unless you take care of ordinary reality. Now I see one reason why you wanted a Chinese mail order bride! In pain (thank you for your best wishes), Christine
