And she didn’t offer **me** a back rub, either. ---

My marriage fell apart over two years ago, my sex life since then has consisted of looking at the bra ads in sale circulars, and I last had a date with someone other than my ex-wife during the Reagan Administration. In other words, I got my own problems here. ---

DRY, dear, you _know_ I can’t spell or type. So just leave me alone. Everyone else has yet to learn that for my faults, such as the inability to communicate like the rest of the world, I’m really a sweet person. Therefore, they get apologies and backrubs and you just get everlasting adoration. And maybe some muffins. ---

{{{{{{Scotticher}}}}}} Thanks, that is extremely kind of you. Frankly I have no ego left to bolster; I’m so hard on myself that I stripped it almost entirely away years ago. On the plus side, nobody has any legitimate reason to think I’m a jerk. ---

Great, **mrblue,** I can now legitimately tell you that you are a polite, sensitive guy who is not egotistical; a kind and gentle soul, who treats other people the same way he would like to be treated. Just a thought-might be a good idea to start treating yourself that same way? (((((((mrblue)))))) ---

Scotti, you are one classy person. And I agree with you. All of you wonderful people should be nicer to yourselves. ---

Therefore, they get apologies and backrubs and you just get everlasting adoration. And maybe some muffins. \*\* Let’s see…I’ve been one of your very best friends here, and have willingly put up with all your typos (ask Tatertot how perfectionistic I can be about said typos) and for my pains am cordially invited to leave you alone? And for those who haven’t had to deal with all of these issues…they get backrubs and apologies. As opposed to being asked to leave you alone and being offered some muffins. Hmm…what kind of muffins? And weren’t you supposed to make a quilt for me? Cheri–thanks for your support. I hope you got my e-mail on Sunday, because coming in the office cost me big time: even though I was there at 9pm on a Sunday and thought I was alone, while I was writing you, someone hunted me down and asked me to work last minute on an arbitration (it seems the other paralegal took sick–had an operation or some such). I’m out of the office all week, which is why I haven’t had time to write you, Kathryn, Rhonda or Paula back. Long hours make me tired, and depressed. They also reduce the time I can spend e-mailing my SDMB friends, which REALLY sucks. ---

WooHoo! **DRY’s** out of the office all week! That means I can take my sweet time about writing him back. 😃 And **Medea’s Child** , you haven’t lived until you’ve gotten one of your e-mails sent back from Dan with all of the errors marked in red ink. I didn’t even know that was possible! 😉 ---
