well,,,At this point in my time here,, the passing relationships that I have run with are mostly short lived and I find that my function is to be a human ATM..nothing massive ,,just a bit here and a bit there,,,I am sick of it ,,,now I am not a cheapskate but I know when I am being had,,, So... I have a couple of cats,,and aside from attacking one another and knocking things over..we get on pretty well...nice to go out with someone for a dinner or hit the DD but that is all I want,,,

Well there's always the choice of increasing your vocabulary and including the word, "No!" Its a simple little word that holds much power. Tell the money grubbers and free loaders, No!, the ATM is out of commission and closed for good, go get a job, or sell some junk you have stored up that you don't need.

That personally, is how I deal with the money grubbers in my life. I work hard for my money....and I'm not a cheapskate, but I don't care to just give it away to those who don't deserve or have not earned it.

I have 1 cat, she's still young, only 9 mo.'s and tends to think she's a Lion in the jungle. She loves to crouch down and make herself as flat to the ground as possible and then just at the right moment, "Leap or Run" at her prey....which is generally a fuzzy ball or my sons foot. Cats are good people!!

My cats are well beyond kitten stage ,,, more in line with later in life or senior citizen cats for the most part ,,,,so they don't do those things ,, though they will jump about now and again knocking things to the ground ,, and frankly it is more fun time than actually attacking each other ,, but they do get a bit carried away at times ,,,all in all I think it is pretty harmless in rolling around on each other ,,and then one has had enough and makes a mad dash for a safety place..

As for the other ,,, I put the behavior out there so ,,I attach to the wrong women...I do not handle rejection well... but it comes regardless and seems only to be delayed....but "No" is certainly a show stopper and puts things on the line at the outset ,,

There's a lot to be said for our four legged babies..... They're the best!!

I'm sorry that you've been hurt Mycroft …. I agree that No is every bit as important as yes..... Big hug.....xo

    Which explains the mysterious fevers and my extra fatigue. I'm so glad I pushed for answers.

    Due to my increased paranoia, anxiety, and a panic attack over the weekend, my psychiatrist has put me back in a full dose of Zyprexa until further notice. Every time I think I'm getting ahead something happens and it's back to square one. I knew he was gonna do this but I can't help feeling disappointed. It is what it is.
