What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CO

1) allow my ADD to control my brain and impulsively post something really stupid. For example, when I dissed Silverplum and said "shut up". . . and when I called Silverplum "leadprune".

SORRY!!!

2) allow my anger over the past to raise it's ugly head and allow myself to become as mean-spirited and spiritually ugly as those in my past were to me.

3) when I don't realize that everyone in the world isn't just like me as far as the way they say things, relate information, give advice.

4) when I've done something so offensive and stupid and disrespectful, like I did to Silverplum that even here at the computer all by myself, my face is red.

5) when I allow all this crap in my life affect me to the point that I become brain dead and just want to crawl off into a dark cave.

Silverplum, I apologize. I spent about three hours this morning reading all of your posts I could find and think I have a better understanding of how you communicate. Not pretty or flowery, but honest and to the point.

I'm not writing this because I feel bad that I won't get your advice (OK, that's a lie, I know I shot myself in the foot . . . again). I believe I owed this to you.

Many of us seniors are blunt and to the point. We don't have time for flowery. Silver will see this I hope. Can't speak for SP but you may get forgiven.

 

[Silverplum]

Wow, that was more than enough of an apology to suit even old crabby me!

Everyone has bad days. It's okay.

Here's the fun part, for you: from what I read (I searched and read very quickly -- you must do MUCH more comprehensive searching for yourself) the "doctrine of laches" is not acceptable in CO, or in about 16 other states.

Silverplum,
Thank you for being so gracious and understanding

Thank you very, very much for the tip on Doctrin of Laches. I've been deep in research on this since I received your post this morning. My eyeballs are hanging out and my vision is so blurry (more so than usual lol).

I found a case out of California where the woman waited 26 years . . . I love it when I find out that I'm not the lone weirdo. So far, I've not found anything 38 years old, but heh, I'm thinking that my chances have gone from zero to 50/50.

Tomorrow when I've finished up with my grandson's IEP Trienniel Review, I'll send you some of what I've dug up. Would you please tell me the best, most efficient way to do this. I'm assuming it would be cumbersom to attach multiple Word documents to an email or to a post here.

I also did extensive research, ok, maybe three hours worth, into definitions. I went through the Legal Definition of "Laches, Doctrine Of" and looked up on the Free Legal Dictionary on line, which incorporates definitions from several dictionaries, every word I didn't completely understand or had no idea at all what it meant. Pretty interesting

When my ex would really loose his temper with me, his idea of a real insult was to call me "dictionary mouth" ROFLMAO.

Again, thanks so much for being so gracious about accepting my apology and for the tip.

Dear DaddyAdvocate

I agree, SP rocks. One question, what's "The Sex?!!!?" Ok, that was waaaay too much punctuation . . aaaggggghhhhh . . . my brain, it's melting, melting.

If you don't know what The Sex is, how did you get kids?

And I should have added that Ohiogal ROCKS too...

Right now Ohiogal is about to rock some nyquil -- been up since 345 am and gave a lecture at a University. I am exhausted and can't breathe and am running a fever. But thank you. I think you all rock too.

Dear Daddyadvocate

OOOOOHHHHHHH, was THAT what that was?! I've always wondered, doh

Ditto the sentiment about Ohiogal. Actually, there are some really cool and savy people on this forum. The big "however" is "don't come on this forum with your princess tiara askew. Leave your petulent inner child in the crib, and keep repeating there's no such thing as a free lunch."

The thing that really hit me hard between the eyes when I went back and read Silverplum's past posts was that I kept running into myself. Not literally, I just saw my old attitude (hard to believe, but it was much worse than the one my evil twin exhibited the other day!). I used to be such a whiner that I started sending myself those catalogues that abound during the holiday season . . . you know, the ones that sell all that cheese to go with my wine. I am sooo glad I'm finding myself about 90% past that stage and so is everyone else around me.

Ok, I hate it when I assume that I know what someone else is agreeable to.
Like you'd just LOVE to have this info. Like sure, let me dump a bunch of stuff on you. Sorry Sheeesh when do I get to be socially ept (as opposed to inept). Emily Post just rolled over in her grave! Quelle faux pas!

definition of assume: it makes an A$$ out of "u" and "me".

ps: thanks for not tossing an A-Bomb my way on this.
