It's been years since I heard that one.<BR/><BR/>The reason it confused me is that I have a friend named Kay and she is a big blog person. Thought maybe you had connected with her and realized she and I knew each other!

He has become more assertive as of late, and can tell people "no" better than when he was younger...it only took 44 years to learn.lol. Anyway, be nice, but know how much you will take and why you will take it. Be warned, because your nice now...when you do take a stand for yourself or your family you will be a real big "jerk" to all of those who enjoy taking advantage of you now. Because most people are comfortable with people in their box...so to speak. Doesn't mean you have to stay does it. :)<BR/>Have a great weekend.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01411842451151787159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33436317.post-46832733199261357462008-05-23T19:17:00.000-04:002008-05-23T19:17:00.000-04:00Cliff...very insightful post.

I didn't date...more like, I couldn't get a date. I've made up for it since I graduated from the shallowness of high school. <BR/><BR/>Cliff, the good Lord says that for every bit of suffering you endure, you will be repaid two-fold. <BR/><BR/>Cliff, you are a good man. Stay the way you are. Live up to your principles and beliefs and you won't go wrong.

She told me I should write it and I told her if I could write it, I wouldn't need it.<BR/><BR/>Yes there are times that I would like to be a prick and never learned how.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08322086604599640345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33436317.post-32627538344157095402008-05-23T11:14:00.000-04:002008-05-23T11:14:00.000-04:00When you are being taken advantage of, it's not be...When you are being taken advantage of, it's not because you have a big heart. It's because you are naive. One has nothing to do with the other. <BR/><BR/>Although, I'm sure you do have a big heart.<BR/><BR/>It's important to learn to set boundaries. Unfortunately, others really don't like it when you learn that. So lots of obstacles are put in our way in order to prevent us from learning.<BR/><BR/>That Gaither story broke my heart. That was awful. I'm sorry to hear that. But the people who would have their way with us do not stop at the church doors.cathouse terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547258612468286876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33436317.post-23420983401964936582008-05-23T07:12:00.000-04:002008-05-23T07:12:00.000-04:00well wixy rest assured you are not alone in being ...well wixy rest assured you are not alone in being taken advantage of or taken for granted.... it is easy for others to prey on compassion..... but i am disturbed you didn't show any compassion to me with a .23 cent pizza....hmmmPat Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18142174423986806144noreply@blogger.com
