No-no very bad redslime May 31 2005, 14:48:04 UTC

The no-no was with regard to agreements to not do so. Yes, I agree there is no no-no. Of course that statement drives summitgeek up the wall; she, who is trying to live her philosophy. I seldom deny my heart in these situations. That is my ultimate truth. I must follow what my heart tells me to do. By heart I mean the inner vector of right action -- even if its wrong.

The "bad, very bad" is really in relation to the agreements we have. I did violate it. I don't regret it. I am just acknowledging it.

Thanks for the health vote.
