I dunno where this goes. Dr. Bob is around a lot lately and it's great, but it also makes me jealous of when he replies to other people.
:-(
I'm sad.
I don't know if I'm sad b/c Bob hasn't replied or I was sad before and started thinking about things negatively.
Maybe I'm interpreting things differently but Bob is still doing the same things.
I wish I could come up with important things to discuss in admin. I wish Bob would talk to me. :-(

I thought your last post had merit, and said so. I'm sure it will be discussed more, and who knows?
In the meantime, I think Bob did a quick run through tonight, addressing one or two posts, and then went back to whatever he does the rest of the time...
What say we speculate on that, huh? I think he lives in a tupperware bed, and that's what keeps him from aging...

Thanks Racer
I'm thinking my way through this. I've decided I'm going to be OK with Dr. Bob not answering me. I like Bob whether he answers me or not. Sometimes I don't answer people, but it isn't because I don't like them.
Dr. Bob has answered me in the past. Maybe I should read some of that instead.
I have to be OK with this. Even if Dr. Bob answers me I think I'll just want more and more and never be satisfied. I don't want Bob to do something he doesn't want to do.
I'm going to stop being so selfish and think more about Dr. Bob's point of view. (((((Dr. Bob))))))
It's OK Bob, I don't need you to answer anymore.

I just realized that I may have been pressuring you to reply to me. I don't want to do that.

>Honey, there is something I'd like to see you do, although it's not anything you *have to* do: I'd love to see you be a little easier on yourself. The way you phrased that sentence -- that you are going to "stop being so selfish" seems so harsh to me. How about saying something kinder? Something more like, "I wish that Dr Bob would answer my post, but I am going to keep in mind that he may not for his own reasons." Or "It's OK that I want Dr Bob to answer me, even though he may not for reasons of his own."
Whatever you do, Miss Starshine, just remember that you're OK the way you are, and that people here like and accept you that way. (Even if we are pleased to see you doing so much better. That's being pleased FOR you, not WITH you, if that makes sense? I don't care if or how you change, Deneb, except that I am very pleased when I see you apparently feeling better about yourself and happier.)
I hope he answers you, and I hope you are kind and accepting of yourself.

I've noticed you seem to be doing much better, much calmer.
You've made wonderful strides.
And don't feel bad. He doesn't answer us all the time either.

Thanks Racer. I will try to be more accepting of myself. My pdoc agrees that I'm hard on myself.
