    Seriously - you should have called her a twit.

    Unconfused,

    :Seriously - you should have called her a twit.

    Had I only been so wise to hurl such a minor epithet at her at the time, I would have done that. But I wasn't wise during that emotional period.

    Time, though, has healed the many wounds for both of us.

    And guess what? I'm still learning as I go...........

    You a lawyer yet? I'm still in Cow Town waiting to meet you again. (Ditch the hubby or give him a few Watchtowers to keep him otherwise preoccupied while you continue to try to convince me that Jehovah prefers to speak with you and doesn't prefer to speak with me! And DON'T tell me Jehovah thinks I'm a twit. I already know that!)

    Excellent story.

    I think that we all need to step back and see if we need to take some personal responsiblity for our problems.

    You a lawyer yet?

    Not yet, m'dear, and given the statistics on passing the California Bar the first time around... and the fact that I'm really not the brightest crayon in the box... I most probably won't be for another year or so. We'll see next month. I will be sure to let YOU know, however, whatever the outcome!

    I'm still in Cow Town waiting to meet you again.

    I know. I need to get up that way. My daughter has now relocated to LA... and I am working about 2 hours from home (in Monterey), so it might be a minute. But my boy is in Cow Town and I miss him, too, so I'm going to just have to make the drive, aren't I?

    (Ditch the hubby or give him a few Watchtowers to keep him otherwise preoccupied while you continue to try to convince me that Jehovah prefers to speak with you and doesn't prefer to speak with me!)

    Watchtowers. Ewwwww. {{{{{shudder}}}}}}. And you know the latter part of that ain't true, not one bit. It's just that I tend to listen a little harder than most folk (which is probably only 'cause I'm kinda nosy that way, you know, with what really is true versus what folks try to tell me is true. I have always much rather have heard it straight from the horse' mouth, if you know what I mean!)

    And DON'T tell me Jehovah thinks I'm a twit. I already know that!

    Then perhaps I should start calling you "Nathaniel," in the manner of John 1:47, 48 - LOLOLOLOLOL! No, seriously... you are one of the last people that I know that I would call a twit. Far from it. Way far. And you know it.

    The greatest of love and peace to you, my dear Daddy-O... and I am SO glad to have read your "truth" about what you've learned.

    Take care and see you soon. Really.

    Your servant, sister and a slave of Christ,

    An interesting story, that i found interesting. What stikes me is that for this to happen two things were needed, the honesty of your friend, and the intellectual honesty on your part to recognise this.

    Regards David
