		<description>Mary: It&#039;s not quite so perilous as that. It&#039;s maybe a tightplank instead of a rope. 

Flutter, Kimmy, Hooker, Blues, &amp; Carrie: Thanks! It feels pretty good. 

Gwen: Oh, you ask away darlin&#039;, and don&#039;t apologize for it. There&#039;s definitely danger in going back there. It opens me up to all kinds of hurt. But it opens me up to all kinds of happiness, too. And being with him feels too good and right to pass up, whether it leads to heartache or not. If I have to finally move on, it&#039;s going to be hard as hell -- hardER doesn&#039;t really factor in. As for the tightrope, I get off when we figure out how to make it work or that it won&#039;t. Right now, we&#039;re getting pretty close to figuring out how to make it work, so I&#039;m happy balancing.

		<description>I&#039;m sorry I&#039;m so late with my comment.  I&#039;ve been falling behind on my reading.  I am certainly happy you had such a wonderful day and that you&#039;re finding a good balance.  I guess I&#039;m wondering if there isn&#039;t any danger in going back there, to that place that is so comfortable and familiar in his bed, in the crook of his arm.  Will having these moments make it harder for you to move on if you ever have to?  I could be completely out of line asking that question. I just know that you are in an unsure place.  I realize it&#039;s a balancing act - but at what point do you get off the tightrope?  I&#039;m sorry if I shouldn&#039;t ask this question.  In any case I&#039;m happy you&#039;re happy.  I just want you to stay happy.

		<description>Finn: I&#039;m trying. 

Kizz: Thanks. I don&#039;t feel like it very often. 

Betsey: It was. 

Ginny: You&#039;re going to have to remind me of that when I totter off.

Mojo: Me, too. 

Captain Steve: Yeah, I was pleased. Still am. 

Wn: Thanks!

Rassles: Warm it definitely was. 

Mongo: I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever been good at it, but I&#039;m trying to learn. 

Mae: Thank you. 

CMGD: Time was I&#039;d have shucked everything for him and stuck around regardless of my plans or needs. 

Tshirt: It was really nice, thanks. 

Beej: Rockin&#039; and rollin&#039; and whatnot. 

Rae: Trying to!

Chris: You aren&#039;t at all out of line, man. That&#039;s a perfectly reasonable question. But, no. I seriously doubt it. I would be very, very surprised if he were thinking about finding someone else. It&#039;s possible, of course, but I doubt he&#039;d invite me to come hang out with his family if he were tomcatting around. Plus, I&#039;m pretty sure he knows there&#039;s no one &quot;better.&quot; But people will surprise you, I&#039;ve come to learn.

		<description>I love that olfactory image - suntan lotion, sand and you&#039;re guy.

I&#039;m going to go out on a limb here and call a spade a spade. I&#039;ve been the guy in a similar situation before. Don&#039;t take this the wrong way, but is there any chance he&#039;s just fucking with you? Pulling you along by a string? Keeping his options open while looking around for something else? Obviously I don&#039;t know y&#039;all and I don&#039;t know the intricacies, but like I said, I&#039;ve been in a similar situation before. And that&#039;s exactly what I was doing. Keeping the ex close while actively on the lookout for something &#039;better&#039;. I couldn&#039;t stand to be alone. 

Apologies if I&#039;m out of line, but I&#039;ve gotten to the point that I consider you a friend in that odd 21st century way, and just wanted to make sure that you&#039;d run through this in your head.
