I think the hardest part for everyone is showing up after making a mess. If everyone had someone like you to be there for them, more people would find the courage to show up and just fucking deal. Love you.<BR/>PAMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-1149018805972941072006-05-30T12:53:00.000-07:002006-05-30T12:53:00.000-07:00Thanks, Rebecca.

But I think "messy" describes the situation well and it's being figured out. <BR/><BR/>And thank you for the aloe advice too! I put the lotion in the fridge (suddenly this comment sounds like that quote from Silence of the Lambs and I'm getting creeped out) and I think the aloe does work better when it's colder. Maybe it's just psychological. But the knees are on the way to on the mend...Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442902343936742742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-1148996931791421852006-05-30T06:48:00.000-07:002006-05-30T06:48:00.000-07:00"As we get older, we don't really get better at ha...<I>"As we get older, we don't really get better at handling all the messy things that life throws our way. The messy things that we create. We just get better at making more messes. And then it's just our job to show up for those messes and just fucking deal and then be there for the ones we love as they go through their messes."</I><BR/><BR/>Could not have said it better myself. And I'm sorry to hear you're having troubles. I hope things clear up soon for you!!<BR/><BR/>PS Put the aloe lotion in the fridge, if you haven't. That will help tremendously (I can't spell tremendously).Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725046248727891093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-1148918997622239632006-05-29T09:09:00.000-07:002006-05-29T09:09:00.000-07:00The best thing about baseball are the uniforms!!!!...The best thing about baseball are the uniforms!!!!drchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643366036681873250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-1148896510004097812006-05-29T02:55:00.000-07:002006-05-29T02:55:00.000-07:00Oh, and Bonnie, it's all good, it's just stuff.
