Re: survey

You just have to work on disconnecting those buttons, Andrea. I learned to do that years ago. In fact, I also forgot all the learned responses to them. Now I'm able to ignore them. The only living member of my family who remembers the game is my sister, and she's not very good at it. <LOL>

Ah yes, but as long as you KNOW they need work you are doing well. I'd let
her sulk if I could bear it. I know what you mean. Guilt is a wonderful
thing isn't it? I hate it when people try to make me feel guilty. Nothing
makes me angry faster than that.

My friend Debbe sulks if she can't get a hug, but I figure she's got

plenty
of people she can grab. She's always been a hormonal mess and her brother
is seriously bipolar so maybe she has a touch of that, so I try to give
her

a little latitude on it.
Yes, I too, have gotten more assertive on many fronts as I've gotten

older,
but some areas still need work.
