Then make 'Limoncella'- a most exquisite Italian liquer, usually made in either Capri or Sicily, both home to lots of sunshine and acres and acres of lemon orchards. You will need to get your hands on pure alcohol. If you know a naturopath, they can get it for you. It must be the best quality.
Or lemon gelato...simply delicious. My son got a recipe once off the internet and made some...mmmmmmm
I used to live near a major swimming pool centre, and sometimes went to do a few laps(that's all I could must up without resting!!)on a saturday evening. You really knew which men were dedicated to fitness as they were there and not swilling beer somewhere...but jeez, it was depressing, they were sooooooo fit looking!!...Nice eye candy for the ladies though
to the OP, It would need to be a strong man to lift me, for them to pick me up...and if they managed to, they had better not drop me.)
In Dec'82, there was nothing secretive about what the Australian government would do...
They would hold inbound passengers from overseas flights, hostage, while men in anti-radiation type suits with masked helmets, walked up and down fumigating the 'plane with powerful, toxix pesticide to kill whatever f#@$%^&g bacteria they feared we were bringing back into the country.
We had to all remain seated, breathing the s#$t in!! I became so violently ill within minutes of arriving at my cousin's home in Melbourne(en route back to my town), and coudn't stop vomitting. In the end, they had to call the doctor as an emergency, who gave me an injection to settle me down!!! ...I should have done something about it, but was just so glad it wasn't worse. Goodness knows what neurological damage it could do to more vulnerable folk!!
I think I would much prefer my husband to open a fine restaurant than be the President of the U.S.....Mind you, one bad meal and you might still risk being shot!
Hurting is one of the toughest things to deal with. It can just eat away at you.
What is left is do your best to focus on all the good things about the relationship, what you gained from each other and what you learned about yourself. I know you know that though.
Sounds like a fab night all 'round! Lots of fun! Reminds me of our meet in Adelaide, now already 12mths ago. Merriweather and I were reminiscing the other night. We've had nothing since. A real gap.
p.s. sometimes though, it might be necessary to withold all contact from the other person, simply because it seems obvious that any further discussion will get 'nowhere' but further circular arguments. I did that, only once. Just never responded to any further contact. It was the only way to deal with a deluge of venting, irrational txt messages. I summed the guy up as being a total nutter, a real vengeful, manipulative OCD type. The behaviour eventually stopped. The only other txt messages he then sent weeks later, wer a couple of toned down, civil 'hope all is well' type messages. Again, more attempts to manipulate a response from me. I desisted and never did respond.
The above is no reflection on you and GG, as I don't wish to make direct comment on things so personal, other than to provide general comments to illustrate my points. Comments that are relevant to relationships (in the western world).
I can fully understand and appreciate the level of frustration you speak of. I think when the other person does that, withold contact/responses to what is obviously driving you nuts watning some answsers, that is a form of control. Control over the other and in a particularly destructive way. Such interaction, or lack of, will only continue in a circular fashion, lacking any kind of structure or development. Crazy-making stuff. I know it is a large part of you, to have to talk, discuss, write. Sometimes though, there can be just as much merit, if not more, in engaging in behaviour that goes against our nature, that is, to do something that does not come so naturally to us. In this case, an example could be quiet meditation and deep, inner reflection. Sometimes the best answers come with silence. JMO.

No, not at all. It's the home made grappa that's rocket fuel!!!!!!!Here's a simple recipe. Now you've got me wanting to make some, too. My mother has a lemon tree.
