But I must add that in my lifetime, as a 77 yr. old widow of 40 years, even the girlfriends never quite "get it"....I'm a product of the 50's so we folks tend to keep our "feelings" to ourselves (folks back then were too busy to even think about listening to the "feelings subject").....So I have found that when I REALLY need to express my innermost feelings, as a woman, I do so in my own quiet kitchen....I can scream, yell, cuss, rant as needed........Wow! I feel so much better! And I didn't have to listen to my girlfriends whines about their "horrible husbands", their next knee surgery, their Grandson's new girlfriend! Never been in therapy .........maybe I should look into that????lynney62https://www.blogger.com/profile/13495408937759095258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-56009625116443591052021-07-07T15:58:17.226-07:002021-07-07T15:58:17.226-07:00Therapists seem pretty useless.

It's probably related to that puncture in your bicycle when you were 11...."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-21860406995657400882021-07-07T08:23:48.294-07:002021-07-07T08:23:48.294-07:00I am "mostly-silent" Sam, a man of few w...I am "mostly-silent" Sam, a man of few words.
