My brain is being squashed....

[lionkingcmsl]

like an over ripe tomato. :={

It's about this thing about not calling people just to chat or ask questions.

On one paw I hear a voice say, "Call. It's no big deal. It's over and done with. They want you too."

On the other paw I hear, "Don't call. You would only be making a nuisance of yourself. They deserve their privacy. Give them a break from you."

I just don't know what to do. Either way I'm stuck with the feeling I'm doing the wrong thing. I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't, at least in my eyes. :={

I also get the feeling that my decision has also affected how the members of that one group now respond to me or any posts I make.

For the time being I'm going to hold off making phone calls, but my mind sure is being squashed like that tomato trying to figure out what I should do. :=/

Dude, relax! Everything is all right. You're okay, your friends are okay, and life is good. Remember to keep looking at the big picture. :)

Well said. I concur.

If they wanted privacy...

[ionotter.livejournal.com]

They would neither have GIVEN you their phone number, NOR would they have posted it in the phone book.

In the case of Smirk, his phone number is UNLISTED, for very serious reasons that I shall not discuss.

Yet, he gave it to you.

You're a lion, Don.

That nasty little voice in your head is a hissing little rat.

Tell me, what do cats do to rats?

As Jeg the Barber would say, "*whinnny* Pick op de phone, mon, Ah-yaahh. *whicker*"

(+50 points if you can tell me what posting he came from)

*scans the above commentary*

Um, what he said. :) Yes. And you shouldn't be over-analyzing this thing. Why weigh the 'voice' of one coward who didn't even have the decency to name himself/herself against the voices of so many supportive others?

You should still feel free to call other people.

And I'm quite sure an early morning phone call was not an invasion of privacy, just an interruption of their usual sleeping pattern.

In lighter commentary, I know it's the smacks-the-forehead pic, but I really like the avatar you use for these type of posts. Very well made.

My next update will explain what has happened regarding the phone calls situation.

As far as the pic goes, a friend gave it to me and it is that of a real lion doing an actual "face paw". :=3

I don't know what he was doing, maybe was scratching an ithch or swatting a fly, but it is a neast pic. :=3

Listen to your friends LK

Listen to your friends LK. It was not that serious. Time shall pass and the significance of a phone call of no great importance will assume its proper place.
