 NB>> Quite so.  :)  Best we can do is try our best, and try to improve where
 NB>> we find deficiencies, whether we find them ourselves or have them
 NB>> pointed out to us....  :)
 DAG> That is, actually, the basal requirement in my standards when I'm
 DAG> considering anybody for a relationship more than just casual passing
 DAG> friends.  I really don't care where exactly a person is at as far as
 DAG> they're trying to get to some place better, as a person.  Well, there
 DAG> are certainly some people trying to better themselves that are in
 DAG> places where I wouldn't go with a ten foot pole, but I'm sure you catch
 DAG> my gist.  ;) 

Well, yeah... and there are some "betterings" that I'd not want to be a
part of, too...  ;)  

 NB>> As long as you get to it before she starts asking for
feedback.... 
 DAG> Oh that happened well over a year ago, when I was still back in
 DAG> Minot, actually.  I don't think she's going to ask for it again. 

Ah, so when you get a chance to finally read it completely, and then a
chance to actually talk to her about it, she can be pleasantly surprised
that you actually followed through on it... ;)

 DAG> I'm getting my feet wet in getting outside to take care of things
 DAG> I can't do in the apartment now, at least, so I should be hitting
 DAG> that very soon.  Just as soon as I'm caught up with my paper
 DAG> journaling, I suspect. 

Progress, anyway...  :)

 NB>> Sigh...  Probably no room to get a beanbag chair in there, for reading
 NB>> and movie watching... ;)
 DAG> Funny you should mention that...  My son had a bright pink one that
 DAG> he absolutely loved for the longest time..  We just had to get rid of
 DAG> it because one of the cats decided that it was too valuable of property
 DAG> to pass up.  There actually is enough space for something like that,
 DAG> though.  It just requires cleaning the bedding off of the futon and
 DAG> folding that up.  I hadn't really thought about that, it's a good idea.
 DAG> I'll see if I can't come up with something or maybe find out how much
 DAG> a cheap beanbag may run.  I'm thinking more for reading, but I do have
 DAG> some movies that I need to catch up on along with my son, too. 
 DAG> Utilizing the space in that way brings a bunch of new potential to the
 DAG> situation. 

Should help break the deadlock of not being able to do stuff... ;)

 NB>> Now that's an idea....  or maybe go to the library...??
 DAG> Well I've got to go return some books from my son's account within 3
 DAG> days here, so that will be happening soon. 

After all, one doesn't want to have to pay fines... ;)

 DAG> The coffee shop idea worked very nicely
 DAG> for me today, though.  There's a place that I can walk to
 DAG> less than 4 blocks away and I really like the atmosphere there. 
 DAG> I suspect I'll be spending more time in that place soon.

Good... That's a good thing to have found... should help on more than
one level...  :)

 NB>> No offense taken... I don't expect everyone to have the same perspective
 NB>> as mine, but I also don't mind sharing my perspective... :)
 DAG> Ditto that.  :)
 NB>> As long as you don't take offense at my being open with my faith, we
 NB>> should be fine...  :)
 DAG> I enjoy discussion on all kinds of topics, and some of the ones that
 DAG> people consider taboo can be some of the most interesting, when it's
 DAG> undertaken with understanding, curiosity, and consideration.  Usually I
 DAG> have spotted the ones that it's not safe to engage in discussion with
 DAG> on such topics quite a ways away.  You seem safe to me.  :)

Then we should get along fine.. :)  I may not be totally "safe", but I
do try to be gentle in disagreement... ;)
