[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 663134, member: 18958"] I do not think I have ever in my life eaten in the privacy of my own home observing the Emily Post Rules of Etiquette of brushing my teeth and combing my hair or getting dressed. OK. I do brush my teeth after I eat. But not to be socially acceptable. Because it feels yucky. Nor did my extremely lovely and oh so elegant mother worry about those things in her own home, where after all, we rule. She wore the rattiest of bathrobes. Where did you learn that? Now after 3 or 4 days I may come to think M will leave me, if I do not comb my hair, but he has not done so yet. Maybe his sister is right. He is after my money. Cedar. Why do you use that term, a "twisted" life? Twisted evokes some kind of aberration...Your life has had crisis and sadness and pain. That your life became something that you could not anticipate. True. But you responded. And you defined yourself by this. Not many people have this opportunity to be heroes. You do. You seized the opportunity to define yourself in your life. You became a hero. Life does not get better than that, if you look at it that way. I do. For all the tea in China I would not want to be my sister. Do I envy her that her kids are completing college and grad school? Yes? Would I want her life? No. Would I want her kids? No. Would I want my own? Maybe. (A joke.) [/QUOTE]
