I'm a little teapot
Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout
When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout
"Tip me over
and pour me out!"
Goooooood Morning, World! Yesssss, it is another glorious morn, and I'm up and ready to face it full on! I'm already armed with one mug of China Black and about to start on a second as soon as my miso soup is ready. A bit chilly this morning... I think it just may be winter's last gasp. I hope so. I'm tired of wearing heavy clothing when I ride.

Hear! Hear!! I agree 150%. Having been through a couple of them myself, agree that the relatively short pain of the separation was more than off-set by the pleasures and adventures of the relationships! Although for Robin Williams, he says "“Ah, yes, divorce ... from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet.”

Sorry, Astra. I missed that yesterday. Sobacha is a very VERY common drink in Asian countries that don't have clean drinking water available. They brew up huge vats of the stuff, boiling the water to kill off the nasties, then flavor it with sobacha. It has a slightly nutty flavor, but isn't overpowering. Imagine genmaicha, but with even less green tea flavor. When I used to visit Korea years ago, the budget hotels would have large urns of sobacha on tables at each end of the hallways so one could fill up a pitcher to bring into the rooms. I enjoy sobacha more than genmaicha, but that's me.

I like Helen Keller's quote about this. If a woman who can neither see or hear can say it, I have to believe it's true.
" Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do
the children of man as a whole ever experience it. Avoiding danger is no
safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring
adventure, or nothing." Helen Keller - 1957

Relationship is a life full of compromises.

What a wonderful quote! I think having the likes of Astra and Beppe here for this conversation adds an entirely fulfilling dimension to the notion of "Love and Marriage." Both of them have wisdom gained by years of experience. When it comes to relationships, I just pray for luck. I sure don't have the skill!
