I had a post with a quote from Nita
But in the light of day, I realize she is not worth it. She has a version of our fight, just as I have mine. However, I will no longer torment y'all with my squabbling. I am sure that is not why you come here!
I am now busy in my MS Word, working on a post about Moon Calendars and tracking your monthly cycle and how useful Moon Calendars can be. When I get it edited to my liking, I'l stick it up.
Watch this space!!!

Kavitha,
You are right, I was boorish and boring. No flaming of you at all, you have an excellent point. I can be pushed only so far, and then I get waaayyy too angry, and say things I regret as a result.
I apologize to you and thank you for reading in spite of your having to witness a squabble!
I won't be so negative here anymore, just plain spoken.
Nita is completely worth it - too bad you have never realized it.
Anonymous - maybe she is to you, but not to me anymore. She does now say she never liked me, so I am not going to push myself on her. It's what she wants.
I am going to forgive her and I will pray for her happiness. That is all I will say on this subject.
Yep, my sister (who is soooo smart she has a Master's Degree, a PhD, works at one of the best museums in the world, is a college professor AND is a fabulous wife and a wonderful mother of two - all achieved before the age of 36) is *also* smart enough to love me in spite of my big mouth. KISS!!
Sorella, tu SEI que Io non volare di cambiare! E'anche, non e possibile!
Yep, she is ALSO fluent in Italian.
One of the things I love about MOT is that she admits it when she has made a mistake, stepped over the line, put her foot in her mouth so-to-speak. And, after she admits it, she apologizes. (There is evidence in this blog for this statement.) Throughout this process she takes stock of herself and discerns whether she needs to change in some way. Then, she changes. Perhaps Nita didn't experience this process with Clare because Nita cut off the conversation and, apparently, wasn't willing to be honest about her feelings until then. Not to mention that she bears some of the responsibility for what has happened between the two of them. MOT isn't evil or a troll, but a real-life, flesh and blood human being with both wonderful and challenging characteristics. Embracing one's humanity is an essential step on the road to enlightenment.
I see MOT about 3-4 times a week, as we both have two small children very close in age and we need to entertain them and get some adult time while we're at it. We have lots of fun. She is a very generous friend, and would think nothing of coming to my house to fold laundry, clean the kitchen, or do whatever she can to help me, since she knows how difficult it can be to get anything done when you have two small children less than two years apart and no professional, paid help. (This is probably why she thought nothing of Nita folding her laundry as described in Nita's post about how horrible she is; she has done it so many times for her friends it doesn't seem odd to want to help.) She is not only generous, but fun -- full of energy and intelligence and always ready for a good discussion about both the big and small things in life, ranging from spiritual practices and the state of the world to skin care products and hair cuts.
Yes, she can be pushy and opinionated. But there are others who never say what they really mean and then just stab you in the back. MOT's honesty, even when uninvited, allows one to be honest in return, which is liberating. She's a big girl and is willing to take responsibility for who she is, which is more than most people do.
MOT, I'm glad you're my friend.
Man, I'd post something but it’s going be absolutely flaccid compared to Preacher Mom's. You go girl!
What I will quickly say is that I couldn't agree more with Preacher Mom assessment. Recently MOT and I bumped heads after she caught me off guard with some personal advice. But, after realizing that her words had the opposite effect, to her credit she quickly reached out and made amends. I certainly relate, since I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve as well.
My point: she is not perfect (duh!), as neither am I, but I couldn't get through this crazy ride called motherhood without her wit, humor and general fabulousness!
Sniff, sniff, I feel cherished!
YW and PM, like the frog said to her friends - Have I *toad* you lately that I love you?
Groan...ribbit...
