[MD] How to Be Rid of SOM, Forever

[John Carl]

You know Marsha?  You're coming across to me as slightly attacked.  And I
can see why.  So just let me offer you my encouragement and reassure you
that your contributions are of Value.  Maybe not to everybody all the time,
but often just appropriately perfect in their own way and timing.
For myself, your encouragement and comments have been most appreciated.

I did find one thing sorta troubling in your reply...



>  It's nice not having to give attention every thought.


For me the troubling aspect is "having".  It's force that is feared.  It's
choice that is loved.  Hmmm... I wonder if that is a difference between
static and dynamic, the force vs. the choice.



> Maybe
> that is my trick and I should have kept quiet about it.


This is the defensive part that worried me.  Keeping quiet is hiding from,
and why should you hide yourself?



>  I don't need to
> answer the phone when it rings either.

Well I'm the opposite of that.  I have to NOT answer the phone as I know
it's a collection agent.

I can answer the phone and take the heat or I can drift away on my thoughts
in the creek.  Choice!

your fan,
