Slouching toward Better

Trilby • Aug 23, 2007 10:59 am
I want to start this thread with sincere apology for my behaviour, words, mean-ness, etc. especially to Dana, Ali and Griff. I am mortified at my recent behavior and attitude here in the Cellar--a place I truly love with so many compassionate, intelligent, witty souls. I hope you accept this apology--all of you.

I want to come back. I feel I am more in control of myself and my emotions. You all know me better than many people I interact with IRL---I just hope I haven't completely turned you all off. --

Ok, I guess I'll just continue to weep on the inside. sigh....

You didn't miss a thing, Bri.
Spexxvet • Aug 23, 2007 12:22 pm
I've missed you, Bri. I've never felt that you were unwelcome. Now post some more nekkid pictures of yourself - I'm Jonesing for some Bri!

many thanks. :)

I noticed you poking in every once in awhile, and hoped you would eventually make a full return. You've been open and upfront about your history, and I for one just wrote off the grouchyness as a symptom of a 'valley'. Especially since you had posted that you were trying to tweak/get off some medications. Likely most of us did the same.

I am glad to see you back, I missed you. Ya cunny.
Weird Harold • Aug 23, 2007 4:06 pm
You didn't offend me. I haven't been here that long, and there are some places I've never gone like politics, and such, so if you did have your big blow up after I came here I just didn't see it. Still I feel the need to say you are OK, cuz I don't want you thinking, "that Harold guy never said welcome back" I can't help it. I have issues. Welcome back.

RK it's just your turn. We are all a work in progress.

And more boob shots...definitely more boob shots. In fact, that is how you can make up for "offending" me. :)
Aliantha • Aug 23, 2007 8:39 pm
Good for you getting your shit together Brianna. I hope it stays that way for your sake.
Elspode • Aug 23, 2007 8:55 pm
'Bout fuckin' time. Let's never quarrel again. Oh wait...we've never quarrelled. I...uh...

Who are you again? :D
Shawnee123 • Aug 24, 2007 9:12 am
Bri, I'm so glad you're back. I wonder about you from time to time, and hope you're OK. Now get back here and make me laugh! :)
Bullitt • Aug 24, 2007 11:00 am
Bri it would be awesome to have you back around here regularly, I hope you stick around for awhile.

Yeah- I remember you as a major contributor here. For very good and not so bad....and you have come to the same conclusion that I have come to about myself. (Just last night)
I have become a terrible person to try and be around at times with my husband. I stood back and looked at what I was saying and doing and I shocked myself. I understand what you are saying.....But just the fact that we are both able to do that and be pro-active about it means that we are better people for it. (I think)
I am definitely going to change some of my behaviors now that I can see what I am doing. I have over-rated myself. I've been too confident about all my actions as if everything I do and say is right on target. As it turns out- Not!!!
I have just become more than miserable to be around sometimes. I'm going to change too. I can be extemely negative and wrong, not notice, and feel justified. I call bullshit on myself.


Welcome back!
smurfalicious • Aug 24, 2007 4:03 pm
I don't know you. But I'd like to know your boobs.

And you too, I guess.Image

And if ya call that cat a bastard, what more is that than any of us have done or said? Stay a spell, Bri; I always liked you anyway.

Hey radar, you're on this forum atm -- say something to Bri.

What are you talking about?

I'm doing my best---I'm outta practice!
(I really am. I did tell a newspaperman that he had the right pole but was fishing in the wrong pond. That count?)
lumberjim • Aug 26, 2007 11:52 am
i dunno. i'm just glad to see you back, i suppose. And you haven't told us enough yet for me to break your balls about it. so I'm working with what I have.
wolf • Aug 26, 2007 4:05 pm
Glad to see you back, Bri. I would have said something sooner, but I'm having a very unvacationy-vacation right now ...

The kids were quiet, the whole car ride, and you didn't have to scream at them?

You are not itching, after having sex in a patch of poison ivy?

You forgot to pack the clothes that make it very obvious, that you are not one of the locals?

Hope your doing OK seriously.

I am not at work for two weeks and a smidge (the commie holiday), so that's a bonus.

It's unvacationy because ...

I haven't gone anywhere.

I am at home having to attend to my mother's various medical needs, including hauling her to several appointments, and making innumerable trips to the pharmacy for medications and other older adult convenience items. On the upside, trips to the pharmacy DO count as time out of the house.

I am working hard at finding a new place to live, since come this November, there is no fucking way that I'm living under the bridge with her in the Mercury Sable. No way. Either the guns or her will fit in the car.

Leasing agents, particularly in high-rise doorman buildings, are snooty. If it is their second day at work and they are unable to answer simple questions about their properties, they are even snootier.
zippyt • Aug 26, 2007 11:43 pm
Don't hurt them TOO bad Wolf !!!
Trilby • Aug 27, 2007 8:32 am
Oh, that sucks, wolf! If it makes you feel any better--my vaca from school (the two weeks before the commie holiday, so now) has been a sort of "whee! I get to go to Kroger today to buy milk!" kind of vaca. Though, admittedly, I've not had the stress of looking after my elderly mother. Yet. I really hope you get to get some sort of fun in--even if it IS target practice on snooty leasing agents. I mean especially if it's target practice on snooty leasing agents!!

Cicero • Aug 27, 2007 12:09 pm
Yeah- I have to work with Real Estate sales agents wolf. Sucks. Some are just ridiculously high browed with no clue to back it up with. And some act like they are constantly at a garden party. The good ones do their job and are on top of their game and don't bother with BS. Those are few and far between.
Weird Harold • Aug 27, 2007 7:49 pm
Snooty Leasing Agents would be a good name for a rock band.
wolf • Aug 27, 2007 10:01 pm
My other boss always wanted to name a band Brief Reactive Psychosis.
elSicomoro • Aug 27, 2007 11:35 pm
You should move to the place I lived in Germantown...or as they like to call it now, Upper East Falls. :greenface
wolf • Aug 28, 2007 12:08 am
I'm not paying the City Wage Tax. Screw that. My ammo costs would also rise alarmingly. I have to factor that in to my choices.

This is off topic, but I'm really going to watch what I say to wolf from now on.There's something about someone in the medical field (psychiatric) with a great love for powerful weapons that really throws me off......Where am I going to move all my guns? Cool....but a little scary. I'm all mixed up.

"The Schizotypals" or "The MalAdjusts" have my vote for band names. (rock)

Condo conversion. I don't want to move, but I have to.
