First off, I don't like working. It seriously interferes with my blogging time. If it's really slow in the evening and I am working with good (read- don't care what the feck you do) techs than I can read a few blogs but I can't comment. And i dare not actually write a post myself. So I am out there and I try my best to read some, but I have discovered that I am quite bad at remembering addresses off the top of my head.
Another thing interfering with my blogging time is housecleaning. The magic cleaning fairy still has not found our house and I'm not sure why because surely the pile of crap about to bust out my roof should lead her here. But no it hasn't so I am left to clean myself, redoing dishes that were not done properly, and cleaning toilets that the homeless wouldn't even want to sit on.
The third thing interfering with my blogging, and the direct reason that there is no Fun Monday post today is my computer. My computer is seeing the light apparently, and is trying her best to go to computer heaven. I'm not letting her go, as I just don't have the money for a new one, and she has decided to hold on for a while longer as long as I do not open a second window, including the blogger picture uploader one. And the comment ones, which is why I'm no longer commenting. No commenting from home and no commenting from work.
I am sorry not to show you my garage, which surely would win any messy garage contest. Let's just say a car would not fit into it. In fact, the kids are lucky if they can find a space for their bikes. You can not walk from the door to the house to the door to the garage without stepping over things and veering off in new directions. I was also going to show you my bookcases, which are organized into countries. Irish fiction, Irish non fiction, English wartime fiction, Canadian and everything else. Most of the everything else is still in boxes in the garage and/or basement. I really need about 7 or 8 new bookcases to sort them all out.
Anyway, I am off to clean as my stamping party is tomorrow evening and I will be at Taylor's school all day tomorrow for Fun Day. What are the chances it will stay clean between now and then? Slim to none, is my guess.
Oh and a question for you to ponder since I have no idea when I will be on again...how do you know when a friendship has reached its end? And how do you finally put it to rest? Do you tell the person or do you just stop talking to them? I need some help with this one.

Why I've bailed out on Fun Monday for a second week in a row

Hope you enjoy your stamping party and the school fun day.
Your last questions, if this is reference to blogging and I think it's best to tell it straight. I have found someone I used to read regularly suddenly stopped after a slightly worrying post and I keep wondering if everything is OK.
I hear ya about housecleaning! I blog between cleaning sessions.
Bummer!
Hope your enjoy the stamping party tomorrow evening.
You might try downloading CrapCleaner -- it will clean out everything that bogs down your computer and you might be surprised to find that it's all that was needed.
As for your last question -- it depends on the situation..how long you knew the person -- and the circumstances that brought about your feelings. Honesty is usually best. But then some things are better left unsaid. Just ask yourself if saying anything to the other person would be constructive in any way.
Good luck:)!
Hi you!
About your question...I've had to dump a few friends in the past few years and it was only after I had completely exhausted every avenue of fixing things and given them a chance to stop freaking lying to me.
But my situation may be just a little different...
reading your description was kind of like getting an obscene phone call... ha ha ha ha.
you know.. .where everything gets described and just left to your imagination.
Maybe your friendship just needs a vacation... and then see what happens. Don't make a permanent decision in a temporary situation.
Yep, I agree - don't make it permanent. Just start by being less around. I think of people in different categories. Just lower them down a notch for a while (eg, from bff to friend, or from friend to extra (the ppl you invite to a party but don't see every day)) and see how it goes for a while. They might end up clawing their way up a category on their own, and then you'll never have had to have an unpleasant scene.
Oh hell no comments! I missssssss you! :)
I do hope you enjoy your stamping party and fun day!
As for your question...it's a tough one. I always seem to be the one dumped never the dumper as I hold onto toxic rotten relationships far too long. But in THEORY I'd let it dwindle and put forth as much effort as you get. That's as much as ANY relationship should really be. And if it dies so be it. (Though I do believe good relationships are worth trying for...if you're questioning your friendship so I'm guessing you've tried before.)
Sorry about your computer issues..that sucks. Hopefully it gets better on its own and goes away from the light!
I understand the frustration with cleaning. I wish the little children around here would help more with the house but the help I get isn't always much help.
To bad you can't post a pic of your garage I may be tempted to take a pic of my whole garage and see who wins the contest!
Hmm, I kinda agree with Pamela.
I have drifted away from some friends, especially with kids, working, etc... Sometimes those friends call and we just sorta picked up where we left of. Other friends just vanish from my life and I put it down to them being single and having a different lufestyle than I'm having now.
Have a great stamping party!
Emma, what a bummer about the computer, I hope you manage to fix it without spending too much on it.
I agree with the other re: letting the friendship dwindle and see where it takes you.
I hate it when work gets in the way of blogging!!
yeah, just take longer to return calls, and don't be proactive. If the relationship is meant to be, then something will happen. Otherwise, let the friendship just run its natural course, I say.
I wish I could answer your question for you. I guess just be honest about things. It also probably just depends on the situation. Good luck with it though!
Hope you had a good time at your stamping party :) I hope things slow down for you a bit to give you more time! Not sure about the friend situtation though but seems like you got some good advice!
I agree with Pamela (of course, she is my mother).... hee hee.
If you want to end the friendship - just try and let it dwindle.
We can't all keep up with blogging all of the time. Life actually comes up sometimes.
I can relate on the house cleaning thing, too. I wish I was one of those people who were always on top of it.
Re: Friendhips. I agree about the dwindling thing. I've had friendships come and go. Some dwindle away and then come back over the years. Others stay gone. For me personally, the only time I would actually END a friendship is if it's gotten toxic or "abusive" in some way.
I would probably just stop talking to them... unless they brought it up.
If I ran into them, I would be polite, but not go through any big productions or anything.
